Review: First days of ownership and already in love - I gave up free-feeding years ago because my eldest senior cat has problems with scarfing his food and vomiting (sometimes straight into the bowl, yuck.) I have even tried various manual feeders, like a UFO shaped one with multiple holes that made him "work" for his food as well as the one with the tubes, but a) those still gave him 24/7 access to food even if it slowed him down a little and b) it didn't really slow him down enough to prevent the vomiting! Also, while my younger playful one liked the "challenge" feeders and would use them anytime, if humans were present, my older lazier cat would cry and act like we were starving him even though the full feeder was right there. Nuts, right?! So, for a while I lived with family and we coped with this issue by all of us doling out small amounts of food to them only when they were hungry. There was almost always someone home so this was easy to deal with. However, I recently moved back out on my own and I decided that couldn't leave them entirely without food while I work my 8 hour shift. It just seemed like it made them crazy and more food-driven when I was home. Enter this feeder. While I was leery of spending this kind of money on a cat feeder, I was inspired by Lynn's review that said it made her cat less anxious. I ADORE my precious sweet cats but their starvation anxiety was driving me bonkers (and making MY anxiety go through the roof). Also, the review by Karen that mentioned using a tray vs. the bowl seemed genius because I knew there was no way my pushy eldest was going to let the other one share a bowl with him, no matter how big. Also my youngest hates deep bowls because he's a bit prissy about his giant whiskers getting stressed. So, I ordered this machine, bought my D batteries and a nice roomy cookie sheet from the store, and hoped it was worth it. Well, after a few days of ownership, the feeder is successfully dosing out 1/8 cup of kibble every few hours, and I'm already noticing some amazing things: my cats DO seem less anxious. My eldest one is even leaving part of the serving of food behind for the younger one to eat or for him to snack on later. He hasn't vomited once since I set it up, either. Knock on wood. It's also eliminated the need for me to stumble out of bed at 5am to dole out a snack for them, which is utterly priceless. I just set one of the timers for 5am! Also, the cookie sheet is working great. When the food falls on the metal it makes a nice clatter and the cats come running. It's enough room for both of them to eat at the same time. It's also wide enough that my little guy can still scoop up his food and it doesn't stress his whiskers. Oh, and since the cookie sheet is metal I can clean it easily to avoid cat acne. Highly recommend. I have to say, it took me a few minutes to program, and I've still been tweaking the timing as we use it, but so far I'm really impressed and excited by this little machine. I think it will make cat ownership even more enjoyable for me, and hopefully make my cats healthier (emotionally and physically.) I will update with any additional comments after owning it a bit longer! Review: Solved Our Problems When We're on Vacation! - I bought two of these at the suggestion of my pet sitter who sits for my 3 cats whenever we go on vacation. BEFORE BUYING: Usually we feed them wet canned food 3 times a day. But because our black cat is afraid of all strangers, he would never come out for the sitter to get fed. So we'd have to leave a feeder out, filled with kibble, the kind that just drops down more kibble by way of gravity rather than something that can automatically dispense like this one does. This led to overeating which led to vomiting by all three cats (even days after we returned home and switched them back to wet food), as well as significant weight gain for 2 of the 3 cats. AFTER BUYING: I bought two feeders. I rigged one to dispense into 2 bowls and left the other as is. I've read some of the other reviews for this product. Some people complain that programming was difficult and confusing. When I got them, nothing could be further from the truth. If you can follow the easy directions, there isn't that much to it. I programmed one to dispense 1/8 cup into one bowl and the other to dispense 1/4, split between the 2 bowls, so that everyone gets 1/8 cup twice a day. This seems to be enough for my cats (they get a bit more for snacking from the pet sitter) and this last vacation, we haven't had ANY vomiting at all. The sitter also says the two who are social are more engaged with her and more friendly. Maybe they're hoping she'll feed them, which she does give snacks, but still. Also, no one can steal another's food since they're set to dispense exactly at the same time and everyone eats simultaneously. (One still tries, but the others are already done by the time she tries.) We even have web cams set up to be able to watch the cats eat while we're away and it's VERY entertaining to see them scrambling from ALL DIRECTIONS when they go off! Plus, we have peace of mind that these things are working and doing their job. While we're home normally, I keep them paused until we either go out of town or they also come in handy when we're having a night on the town and know we won't be back until late. We just have to turn off the pause feature before we leave to know they'll get fed on time and don't have to wait for us. I feel like these feeders have solved all the eating/overeating/vomiting problems we've had the last few years. I highly recommend this product, but with a caveat: if you're thinking of buying an automatic feeder, you have to think about your particular problems with your specific animals, since everyone's situation differs. I won't promise it will solve everyone's problems, but they certainly solved mine. They just might solve yours too. ## Features - Schedule Your Pet'S Meals: Conveniently schedule up to 12 meals per day for your cat or dog; best for cats and small to medium sized dogs - Flexible Portions: Help manage your pet's weight by scheduling 1/8 cup to 4 cups per meal depending on your pet’s unique needs - Great for Fast Eaters: If your pet eats meals too quickly, use the slow release option to dispense meals larger than 1/8 cup gradually over 15 minutes - Pet-Proof Dispenser: Feeder is designed to keep sneaky pets from getting into food ahead of scheduled mealtimes - Battery Operated: Feeder uses 4 D-cell alkaline batteries (not included); feeder can also be powered with a wall adaptor (sold separately) - Added Features: ‘Feed Now’ feature lets you feed the next meal early; ‘Pause Feed’ feature lets you stop the feeder from dispensing meals while keeping the programmed meal schedule - How to Clean: Place the stainless steel bowl, bowl holder, lid and hopper in the dishwasher and hand wash the conveyor system.

One is a bit greedy.** A: We have had this feeder since Aug 2015 for our 2 small dogs! 1 a 12 lbs poodle and the other a 3 lbs yorkie! This feeder works great for them both had 2 different eating habits and it has tought them they don't have to scarf up there food. That the right amount is in the bowl for both and they have learned tpenjoy eating! they know they will be fed at the same time morning and night! They accually stand at their dish and have learned to share! They have learned what time it will come out and we don't have to rush home to feed our babies! We just always check 2 a week to make sure that the food container is full & everyday we check to see the batteries are working! **Q: As far as the dispensing chute, would a very motivated cat be able to reach their paw up and get food to drop?** A: There's not a ton of room between the bottom of the dispensing part and where the bowl is, so it would probably be difficult for the cat to get a good position to reach up into the chute from underneath. In addition, the conveyer belt that moves the food up has fairly rigid plastic dividers, one of which is always right in front, so that would also block little paws if they managed to get up there somehow. I haven't had a problem, but my cat also might be too lazy to try. It doesn't seem to me to be as suceptible to break-ins as some of the other feeders I saw when I was looking to buy. **Q: How much can the unit hold - if feeding 1/2 cup each day, how many days will the stored food last?** A: Thank you for your interest in this item. This unit holds 24 cups and can dispense up to 12 meals a day. If you use 1 cup per day on a 24 cup capacity that would be 24 days. If they use half that amount (1/2 cup) then it would double it to 48 days. **Q: How easy is it to tip over?** A: I have a big German Shepherd. Love this feeder. He has a dog door so we use this when we're on vaca for up to a week. He has learned he can push it to make a couple of kernerls fall out but he doesn't tip it over and he's an aggressive eater. He's a 125 lbs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First days of ownership and already in love *by S***. on August 1, 2016* I gave up free-feeding years ago because my eldest senior cat has problems with scarfing his food and vomiting (sometimes straight into the bowl, yuck.)

Nothing lasts forever, and I consider five years a damn good run. This model has both its good and bad points, but overall, I feel it has earned a four-star rating, for the following reasons.. Pros: Reliability. I travel frequently, and my greatest concern is that my cat be dependably fed while I am away. Reviews of feeders from other manufacturers have warned that units stop working when the WiFi signal is dropped. I couldn't sleep well with such a feeder. (This simple feeder has no WiFi connection to fail.) This feeder operates well on 4 D-sized alkaline batteries, but go head and buy the AC adapter. Use the D-cells as backup. With the unit on AC, the batteries only need to be replaced once a year. Pick an easy date to remember, say.. Halloween or the 4th of July, and make a habit changing the batteries every year. The unit uses a tractor-feed conveyor belt to dispense the kibble. It was low maintenance and served me well. Speaking of low maintenance, the hopper size is large enough that I only had to refill it every six weeks or so to keep my (one) cat fed. This feeder falls in the mid-priced ranged among automatic pet feeders. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the high-priced units (it doesn't need them). But what you do get for your cash is reliability, and this unit delivers. I really liked the security of this feeder. My cat was never able to break into it or otherwise fiddle his way into extra meals. Cons: The controls are a challenge, granted. But for a few dollars more, PetSafe offers a Wi-Fi enabled unit that simplifies the controls with an App. The only reason I did not give this unit 5-stars is because the programming controls are so counter-intuitive. Once you get it set up, you are golden! But to set it up, you must press specific key-combinations on the small control panel; and I had to look up the sequences every time. Thankfully, I kept the bit of cardboard from the box that (most of) those sequences were printed on, so I could refer to it at need. This small frustration is the reason why I will be upgrading to the PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Dog and Cat Feeder with the Wi-Fi app this time around. This newer unit solves this issue, and PetSafe has demonstrated that they build a reliable feeder. (Note: While the newer model may have Wi-Fi, it does not have a camera. The Wi-Fi exists only so you can control that unit with the app.) The clock in this unit isn't very accurate. My unit lost about 15-minutes over the course of a year. This was never a problem for me and my cat didn't care. The LED display shows the next feeding time, not the current time. I never adjusted for daylight savings time anyway, so none of this mattered. The bowl that comes with the unit is HUGE for a cat. I bought a small metal bowl for it and crafted a ramp and holder out of clay (see photo). The entire thing sits in the large bowl under the dispenser and is the perfect size for my cat. It just looks a little wonky. A final gripe I have with this unit is that the "Instant Feed" feature (to give your cat an extra meal) can only be triggered once within a given scheduled feeding cycle. This restriction always rubbed me the wrong way. Shouldn't that be *MY* call?! But there were very few occasions where I ran afoul of that restriction, so it is a minor gripe. The newer model has lifted this restriction by placing a dedicated instant feed button on the top of the unit. (A nice feature of this older unit is that you can skip a scheduled feeding. -A feature that the newer modal lacks!) The unit has a 'slow-feed option' option which is great for dogs that wolf down their food, but as the minimum portion the unit is capable of dispensing is 1/8 cup and that was the portion-size I needed for my cat's meals, the slow-feed option was of no use to me. A even smaller slow-feed rate would have been nice. (The newer model has the same 1/8 cup minimum too.) Conclusions: If you don't mind overcoming minor challenges with your technology if a device is reliable and keeps cash in your wallet, this may be the perfect unit for you. If you want reliability along with simplified controls through an app, consider the newer PetSafe model with the WiFi app. If you REALLY want to watch your pet on camera as he or she feeds, and are willing to put up with false alerts on your phone and accept a slightly less dependable unit over all, you may need to look beyond the PetSafe brand to get that. For me, PetSafe was the way to go. ## Frequently Bought Together - PetSafe Automatic Cat Feeder - Healthy Pet Simply Feed - Automatic Pet Feeder for Cats & Dogs - Timed Pet Feeder with Programmable Portion Control - Holds 24 Cups of Dry or Semi-Moist Dog or Cat Food - PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed Power Adaptor - Compatible with Simply Feed Cat and Dog Food Dispenser - Simply Feed Dog Food Storage Container Adaptor - Powers Automatic Dog and Cat Feeder - Three-Way Splitter Adapter Compatible with PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed Automatic Feeder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/16097518-petsafe-healthy-pet-simply-feed-auto-feeder-programmable-holds-24](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/16097518-petsafe-healthy-pet-simply-feed-auto-feeder-programmable-holds-24) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
