Petmate Pearl Replendish Feeder With Microban

I can picture this feeder working when a dog sticks his snout in the bowl to eat, but when my cats ate near the edge, it did not allow the food to be dispensed, since there was no movement from them. I needed to tap the side occasionally for the food to move down, which defeated the whole purpose. But, if you have a dog, I think it would work great.

Item is as described and would work well for large dog but when using large chunk dog food for a large breed dog the food does not automatically slide/come out of the feeder into the dish. You have to shake it or use your hand to force the food out of the storage container into the bowl. Therefore, it doesn’t work as intended.

The size of the feeder is perfect for vacations and overall feeding, however the feeder has to be shaken for the food to fall. My cat's food morsels are small, if they were larger there would be a greater chance to get caught up in the dispenser.

I bought this feeder to use when I went on a 5 day vacation. The feeder did not feed the food as my cats ate. Luckily a friend was checking on my cats because the bowl was empty and the food was not feeding out as it should. I use Iams dry cat food. My friend had to tap the feeder to get the food to flow out. Well, my cats don't know to tap the feeder to get food. What's the point of a feeder if it doesn't work on its own. My cats would have starved.

I needed to leave my kitties home for the weekend. This feeder worked perfectly. I followed the manufacturers recommendation and used small kibble of equal size. My kitties had no problem keeping the bowl full while we were away.

I bought this and its bowls too small and the jug barely releases 2 inch of water at a time even though it could easily hold 4 cups. I finally gave up, threw it away, and bought a regular bowl. It's just not worth it.

We have 4 dogs and the food does not drop as it should. Every day I find the feeder somewhere other than in it's corner because my dog move it just for the food to drop . Not worse having if it doesn't work right

Bought this for the cats so they could be on their own a couple days with food from the feeder, but the food does not come out without tilting the container. Good thing I tried it out first.

They never run out of food now. This is great !! Haven’t been woke up in the middle of the night since purchasing ! Now I’m gonna have to get the auto waterer too’

Excellent product. The feeder does exactly what you need it to do. I will be going on vacation worry free knowing that my Sunshine is well feed and hydrated.
