Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions


will this still work on a scheduled feeding time if the home wifi goes down?

Answer by ChewyJun 10, 2022
This feeder requires 2.4 GHz WiFi signal to work.

What kind of batteries does it use?

Answer by ChewyMay 30, 2022
This feeder may run on 4-AA batteries as a back-up power source.

Can you use freeze dried dog food with this product?

Answer by ChewyJun 23, 2022
This pet feeder can be used with freeze dried food. However, it is recommended to use pet food with a regular shape within 15 millimeters.

Can you schedule feedings at different times on different days? Or do the feedings always have to be at the same time?

Answer by ChewyJun 04, 2024
This feeder is designed to accommodate multiple feeding schedules to suit your pet's needs. You can program it to dispense food at different times on different days, such as 9 AM on weekdays and 10 AM on weekends. However, the app operates on military time, so when setting the feeding times, please be mindful of this format. This ensures that your scheduled feeding times align correctly with your expectations. Additionally, it's essential to consider the grams set for each schedule. While the feeder can handle multiple schedules, the total amount of food dispensed depends on the grams assigned to each feeding time. If not adjusted appropriately, this may result in insufficient food being dispensed. Feel free to customize the grams for each feeding schedule based on your pet's dietary needs to ensure they receive the right amount of nourishment at each feeding.

My cat is one of those cats who will eat too much too fast then puke. Unfortunately that hasn't completely stopped yet, but it has decreased significantly. I think I need to just figure out the best schedule. I've been able to work out that the smallest portion seems to be roughly 1/12 th of a cup, and from what little I have seen, seems to be fairly consistent. My cat took to it right away. I've only had it for a few days, but I am happy with what I have seen so far.

This unit was great when it worked. However, after about a year it started dispensing random amounts of food, instead of the amount specified in the schedule. As a result, food gets stale and is wasted. I tried all of the online “fixes”, to no avail. It’s a shame, because I like the feeder but I think I’ll try another brand.

Would Not Recommend; dispenser stopped working 6 months after purchase

I purchased this because I live alone and am a bit of a hermit, so I have the anxierty/fear that if one day I get into a car accident and can't get home, or I happen

I purchased this because I live alone and am a bit of a hermit, so I have the anxierty/fear that if one day I get into a car accident and can't get home, or I happen to have a heart attack and pass away in my home (and someone doesn't find me for weeks) that my dog would suffer and slowly starve to death (morbid I know). I bought this because of the automated system that would feed him every day at the same time, and that way if something did happen to me, at least he'd have food for a few weeks. Unfortunately the thing stopped working this month, and no matter how much I charge it, the dispenser no longer dispenses food. So I just use it as a food holder and am doing some research to see what other options exist.

Randomly disconnects and skips feedings

The app will notify you that food was dispensed but it was not. Can't depend on it which defeats the whole purpose. Skip this one.

My cat loves it; Instachew's customer service was very disappointing!

My cat loves this product (possibly a bit too much). Unfortunately, it did not come with a wall port (which is neither here nor there) nor a battery door compartment

My cat loves this product (possibly a bit too much). Unfortunately, it did not come with a wall port (which is neither here nor there) nor a battery door compartment. Chewy has always had the best customer service. They were great, and since it was out of stock, recommended I keep it and just contact the company for the missing parts. The company blamed me for the missing parts and did not have any extra components or a replacement feeder. I was very disappointed in Instachew's customer service; that is really the only complaint I have about this product. With that being said, Chewy has always had impeccable customer service and has been helpful throughout this process.

Kept disconnecting from Wi-Fi

I bought this so my cat could be fed while I went out of town. It kept disconnecting from Wi-Fi even though my Wi-Fi was solid the entire time. I still had to pay someone to come over and look in on my cat because it did not feed on schedule.

This has been great for teaching my cat that waking me up at 5am will not get him fed! My only complaint is that sometimes it doesn’t work. Typically I get a notification

This has been great for teaching my cat that waking me up at 5am will not get him fed! My only complaint is that sometimes it doesn’t work. Typically I get a notification when this happens and if I’m not home I do a feeding from my phone. Sometimes I worry though that that feeding will also not have worked. My cat is quite chunky though so I assume it’s doing just fine!

Since purchasing the Instachew Purechew Mini Automatic Smart Pet Feeder, feeding my pet is a breeze. I love that I can schedule feedings and also instantly feed my pet anytime with the touch of a button on my cell phone. My pet relies on the food dispensing at the scheduled times and the food always dispenses without any obstruction. This is a great product!

I recently purchased the 2.5L automatic pet feeder, and unfortunately, it hasn't met my expectations. First, the capacity is quite limited for my pet's needs; I find myself refilling it more often than anticipated. Additionally, the feeding mechanism tends to jam, causing missed meals, which is frustrating. The programming features are also not intuitive, making it difficult to set up and adjust feeding times. Lastly, the overall build quality feels cheap, raising concerns about its longevity. I had high hopes for this product, but it has proven to be more trouble than it's worth. I would not recommend it.
