Petlibro Automatic Dog & Cat Feeder

Love this feeder! My cat is stubborn about breakfast time, and would endlessly yell and paw at us a full hour before our alarms even went off. We started locking her out of the bedroom at night, but that just led to her jumping and pulling on the door handle, which is loud and terrifying to wake up to. Now when she decides it's breakfast time, she waits by the feeder and doesn't bother us. THANK GOD!My biggest concern on purchasing was battery life, since her bowl is in an inconvenient spot for a power cord. We have had this running for 3 months on just batteries, and haven't had to change them yet! We do only have it dispensing 4 "servings" a day, so if you use it more it might run out quicker Love this feeder!

No more being woke up in the early morning and no more feeding Cheerio late! This PetLibro feeder works perfectly so far. Matter of fact, I purchased a second one! The LCD is a little low, so hard to see unless you lift up the feeder or tilt up. However, that in no way complicates the settings! Very easy and quick to set the feeding times and portions for each time. It's also easy to record a message for your pet. I love seeing Cheerio take off like a bullet to the dispenser when he hears his name called by the recording! I can depend on the feeder to always dispense at the set time and correct portion. The feeder is very easy to clean from the part that holds the food to the dispenser bowl. No more being woke up in the early morning and no more feeding Cheerio late!

I purchased this because I work off-shifts and didn't want my dog to wait until odd hours of the night to eat. It works great for that purpose. It's fairly easy to set up as well. My only issue is that even when on the highest portion setting, the amount that it dispenses is less than 1 cup, maybe about 3/4 cup. This would not be sufficient for a medium or larger dog. My dog is around 21 pounds and I don't think this is enough even for him. I tried to set it to dispense the full amount and then dispense another half amount a few minutes later, but it malfunctioned and ended up only dispensed the half amount. So it seems that this would work best for cats and small dogs that require 3/4 cup or I purchased this because I work off-shifts and didn't want my dog to wait until odd hours of the night to eat.

This easy to care for device has helped me tremendously with feeding my cat in the morning. It was confusing to set it up at first for me but as soon as I set the times right I haven't had to touch it since (except for daylight savings). It is super easy to wipe the bowl, and the feeder's storage holds a lot of food and keeps it fresh. My cat comes running every morning at 7:30 when she hears my voice message. My only complaint is that I wish the it could dispense smaller portions than 9-10 grams, because my cat has high calorie food.

We ordered this feeder for our cat, Benji - Previous to this, we manually fed him 1/4 cup 2x daily and with our crazy schedules lately it's been impossible to keep his schedule consistent. This feeder is GREAT, as it guarantees he's fed at the same times every day, and perfect portions. For those of you setting this up, make sure to run multiple manual portions through the feeder with the button on the bottom right to fill the spindle so the accurate portions actually come out on the first feed. Just thought I'd make a point of that in case people are setting up 1 feeding for their pet / leaving the house for the day after setup...

I have what is known as a “scarf and barf” cat. She eats too much and vomits almost every time she eats. This was the perfect solution. I programmed it to dispense 4 small meals a day, and I recorded the sound of my voice to play a message when it’s time to eat. She runs across the house to her feeder every time she hears it, it’s pretty cute. I am no longer cleaning up cat vomit in the middle of the night, and it works well for when I go out of town for the weekend too (now I just need an automatic water dispenser and litter box cleaner). Win win.

This was super easy to set up. I will say, the portion sizes are a little odd. It says 1 “meal” is like 2 tablespoons. My cat eats 1/3 of a cup 2 times a day, so I just calculated how many tablespoons are in that. For the first few feeding times, I sat by it to make sure it actually put out food and to make sure I set the times correctly.My cat didn’t have any issues immediately going to it. I love this because I take frequent short trips and I don’t have to worry about her!

I bought this for my puppy because he's growing and being fed 3x a day. I thought I'd remove the dish that the feeder comes with and replace it with my pup's slow feeder bowl... but the food just collected in a pile. So, I'm not actively using this product right now, but it does work well and I think it could be really helpful for a lot of dog owners. My only real complaint is that programming it was really confusing. I think it's because this is originally meant to be a cat feeder? And the feeding amounts are in tablespoons and that translate to "portions" ... and it was just really confusing for me.

This feeder is beyond great!!!The size of portions, the timing, how easy to program as your pet needs.Works GREAT!!! I had to travel and was the best investment, to go out of town and knowing that my cat is going to have all the meals, you can also record calling to your pet to eat.My cat like it, I programmed the usual time that she eats so she would be waiting by the feeder.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Even if you aren’t going to travel, it is GREAT!!

5 stars for me and my hamster; but I understand why those with larger pets would rate lower. I am using this for a Hamster seed mix. Seed mix has some very small seeds and so far this has no issue sweeping out small and large seeds alike. Hasn't jammed yet, but I've only done brief testing. I removed the bowl so the feeder dispenses the seeds directly into the cage, but with the bowl attached during my testing the seeds sometimes flew out of the bowl because they come out too fast (though rare, and only a few of the small seeds did so). I highly recommend for people with pets that need a smaller portion of dry food per feeding.
