Questions & Answers

Does this model have an "open" setting where it is open and full of food all day except for when a denied pet comes near?
How is this powered (batteries or electric cord), and can it be used outside?
If I buy two of these, are the tags specific for their specific feeder, or do the tags work for any feeder of the same model?
Does the bowl come with the RFID for the collar?

Out-of-the box this seemed pretty solid; however, we could not initially get it set-up and paired to our only RFID device. We tried to do this in the "closed" mode. Followed the instructions to a "t". Kept the tag away from the feeder during set-up until the appropriate time. Threw error code "9" and the manual did not cover error codes that high. Tried to call the number in the manual for support. It always go to a recording that tells you to email them (a different email than in the manual) and leaves no option to leave a message. Emailed both the email on the recording and the one in the manual. It has been over a week and we have not received any response. In the meantime, I played around with the feeder. I tried setting it up in the open mode and voila...it worked. It allowed me to set up the RFID tag. Then I changed it to the closed mode that we desired and it then allowed for the pairing of the tag in this mode as well. Tried operating the feeder without any food in it to test out how it opened and closed. It got stuck every time when trying to close throwing an error code that indicated there was food stuck and something in the way. The device was EMPTY! Checked to make sure bowl placed correctly in the feeder and not catching anything. No luck with that. Put some food in there to see if it made any difference. It did not. Besides the device just not working since it would not close with or without food without having an error code and stopping mid-close, this feeder is LOUD when opening. It sounds like it is breaking. I do not think the device we got was faulty, just a terrible design and would have been a problem in perpetuity. Sent it back! Thanks Chewy for your stellar return policy. I did order a different Pawspik, more expensive feeder. Was nervous because the email that they left on the product help recording was for pawspik. I don't know if this has always been their company or they bought this company with a terribly designed feeder. I can say the new $250 feeder is exactly what we needed and works as expected. I will leave a review on that feeder after a few days of use.
Worked great, until it didn’t

Love the RFID chip. Have been through so many of these feeders. The auto feeder function gets jammed very easily and quits working quickly. I have a diabetic cat that need specialty food and the rest of the cats are on open feeding. The feeder doesn’t work at all, but the sensor keeps my Diabetic cat out of the main bowls. And the rest of the cats out of his diabetic food.
I wanted to love this

I really wanted to love this, but after several months of use, I hate the dang thing and wish I had saved the money. As far as the RFID feature, that works great and is honestly it's most redeeming quality. I have a heavy lab that needed to stay out of the puppy food, so I put a tag on her collar and it closes when she gets close, so the puppy has access but she doesn't. That feature I love, and it works just fine. The measured portions are a total joke. Within a month of purchase, it was jamming from kibbles getting stuck in the turning belt. We have to clean it out and un-jam it almost daily. It makes horrible noises now because after so many jams it's wearing out the belt. It was a total waste of money. I am so disappointed. Save yourself the money and don't bother.

I work 12 hour shifts and cannot depend on someone else to feed my kitties and also to keep my roommates cat, who is on a rx diet, from eating their food so I got this to stop him from being able to and to allow my cats to eat at their leisure. Was a wonderful purchase until the last month when the food dispenser would not allow food to dispense. I took it apart entirely and cleaned it to attempt to fix the issue. This did not help and I now have to manually put food into the bowl daily which defeats half of the purpose of me purchasing this very expensive food dispenser. It’s extremely disappointing and frankly makes me want to return this because it is not and will not be worth the money if it breaks so easily and so quickly.

I bought 3 of these. 1 stopped working within a couple months and my husband keeps taking it apart to try and fix it since when we bought these they were close to $300 each so we were not ready to just give up on them. That feeder doesnt work at all and he has now given up trying to fix it. The food just gets stuck and the motor wont turn. Its small cat food so I dont know what the problem is. The second feeder was only used twice a day as fill in meals for a cat I feed wet food to so it lasted almost a year but now doesnt work at all just like the first. It just clicks and makes loud noises when its food time. The 3rd one is still working and I have no clue why. I would not have paid the price for these knowing that they dont last long

Bought 2 of these, the one for the Dog stopped working within a few months. We made sure to find proper food, as it only works with smaller kibble. The belt that moves food to the dish just clicks and slips. If I would dig my hand down to it I could manually advance it. Not the Automation I am looking for. The one for the Cat lasted a bit longer, about a year. It too is clicking now. Bin size was great, I had the proper critter eating out of each dispenser, no more Lab raids of the cat food. Another bad part is how the buttons seemingly only work when they wanted to, probably just learning curve there. The tags needed batteries too and if somebody lost there tag they did not eat unit we found it. Overall, Was really hoping this would be the answer, but the biggest problems was the mechanism to move food from bin to bowl was not nearly robust enough. Both will be replaced because of this issue, but with something else.
Jams Easily
I have two cats that love to steal each other’s food. These feeders work great for keeping them from doing so, however, after about 8 months, they’ve started jamming
I have two cats that love to steal each other’s food. These feeders work great for keeping them from doing so, however, after about 8 months, they’ve started jamming frequently. I clean the feeders every time I refill them, and both cat’s food is uniformly shaped. The food hasn’t changed this whole time, but now it jams a lot. My other issue with these feeders is how large the tags are. They did come out with a slightly smaller, less bulky tag, but it’s still too big for our smaller cat.
You don’t get what you pay for.
Ours worked for one year then suddenly it’s no longer an automatic feeder. Normally that amount of time wouldn’t be too bad but for the price you pay it’s not something

Purchased in July of 2023. For the past six months I’ve been having trouble with it getting jammed and not dispensing food properly. The dry food is nothing out of the ordinary and has always worked. It came to the point where it wasn’t opening when my cat got near it. Changed the battery and tried a new battery in both tags. Ordered a new tag and still no good. I can can set it up but without a working tag, it’s become a pointless food dispenser.
Works Great!!
We’ve had two of these feeders for 2.5 years now and they work great.
