Pawple Automatic Dog & Cat Feeder, 20-cup

Very happy with this feeder. Portions are close enough for us. 1/4 cup measured right on and 1 cup measured slightly over. It dispenses our brand of dog food with no issues. The recorded message is as loud as a normal speaking voice. The cord is about 3’ long. We love it. Now our pup can have her kibbles a little earlier in the morning.

This thing is great and easy to set up. Lots of different options for sizes (I have a cat and this works great for cats as well - small enough portion options for small animals). Also the ability to have it dispense 3x per day but I only do once in the morning. This is helped my cat NOT jump on me daily at 6am. I feed him wet food in the evening, otherwise I’d use this only. Very reliable and option to use batteries (which I would do if I went away for an extended period of time in case the power went out). Also able to program your voice in to the serving lol but I haven’t done that… little creepy for me

It's got a ton of features and it looks very slick, but my cat figured out how to break into it in like a week. I had to take it away because of that Also the portions were kinda confusing. "Wait, how many cups is one serving?"

I like that the programming is in the machine and not internet dependent. The only issue with this feeder is setting the amount. My cat, who is on a diet, should get 20 grams per serving. I set the amount at 20, not realizing until the next morning that that gave him 200 grams. Each section of the dispenser delivers10 grams. Now the amount is 2.

This feeder works exactly as advertised. It only took our cats a few feedings to figure out that it dispensed food and to not be afraid of it. Our one cat lines up about 5-10 mins beforehand waiting for her food. We have two cats and they take turns eating from it.

The Pawple automatic pet feeder works great. It was easy to program and after a few adjustments to the amount dispensed it has worked perfectly. I’m very happy with the purchase and hope that it will last for many years.

We bought this AutoFeeder to supplement our Cat Sitter’s schedule. We started the cats on it 2 weeks before Vacation started to familiarize them with it. They both took to it very well and we use it now to dispense their feedings. It has really helped control their weight also as a benefit with it’s easily adjustable amounts and times. The cats are rather Comical as the minute they hear the food fall into dish their ears perk up and it’s a dash to the feeder! Easy to program, clean and adjust if needed. I highly recommend the feeder.

we have a rescue kitty that is food driven to the point she'll tear open cat litter bags because she thinks there is food inside. Was concerned she would brutalize a feeder. Researched the feeders, read reviews, and picked this one. She loves her feeder and has not cat-handled it all all. Like the longer electric cord and have installed the batteries for backup. Recorded shaking her treat jar and between that and the sound of motor starting up, she takes off like a bullet. It dispenses 1/4 cup of kibble on the #2 setting twice a day. Everyone is happy. The unit is actually pretty quiet but then it only runs for two portions.

I found this to absolutely meet our needs for a food dispenser for our two young cats. Set up was fine although I had to get used to the rapid response of the buttons to my touch. I was delighted to follow the trick of another reviewer and attached a cardboard divider to the tray which allows each cat to eat without competition from the other - it works great.

My cat is intensely food-motivated - I think he really just wants to be a sphere. I was worried in getting an automatic feeder that he would be able to figure out how to get extra food, as that was a warning in many reviews of other devices. He uses the feeder as a jumping off point to get on the counter and sometimes doing that knocks a piece or two of food out, but he hasn't seemed to figure out the cause and effect there. And it really is only a couple pieces at a time. When it goes off in the morning, he rockets towards it so fast! He seems to run for it before I can even hear that it's working. I haven't tried the recording feature at all and don't intend to. It is very easy to set up and My cat is intensely food-motivated - I think he really just wants to be a sphere.

It is very easy to set up and to change feeding amounts, times, switching meals on and off, and changing the time is also easy (got it just a few weeks before daylight savings). … more
