Our cat recently went into heart failure and had to start taking pills five times a day. We hide the pills inside soft treats and she inhales them without even noticing, which is great, but stopping what you're doing every 2 to 4 hours to get the pills, pop them in treats, find her, and hand feed her was kind of insane. With this five compartment automatic feeder, she can self serve her pills after we pre-load the trays each morning. All we have to do now is make sure she's taking the pills in a reasonable timeframe, and we're good to go. I will say it took her a while to get used to this feeder because the tray moves automatically under the hood. I think at first she was nervous it would start moving before she could eat out of the tray, but after prolonged use, she seems to have gotten used to it just fine. For us this feeder has been a lifesaver. Very happy we found this product! This was very easy to program, even with our intense pill schedule. Great product.

My dog had three surgeries this year and beat cancer. She had to be on numerous medications and with my field going 10 + hour work days it made it very hard to deliver needed medications. I bought this, duct taped it to the wall above her metal bowl, programmed it for dispensing of medication and kibbles at 3 set times. Best product I have ever bought in decades. Allowed me to work my normal schedule without worrying any more.

***Updates are located at the bottom of the review.******Original Review***My husband and I needed to find a solution to prevent our cat from waking us up at 4:30 in the morning for her breakfast. We were very happy to find this automatic pet feeder! We haven't been using it all that long but so far, it's been great for us. Our cat is still getting used to it but we've seen a difference already with how she doesn't wake us up that much. It has 5 different chambers to put food in which is great for portion control since we have our cat on a diet. The feeder was very easy to program with the times we wanted the next serving of food available. When it's the next feeding time, the dish part of the feeder rotates and the next portion is available. The feeder requires 4 D size batteries which are not included. We plan to always have some around for when the time comes that we need to replace them. We could've opted for the 2-meal feeder but we wanted to make sure our cat wouldn't figure out how to open the feeder. For us, spending a few more dollars on the 5-meal feeder was well-worth it. The price we paid was AMAZING! If this feeder continues to work this well for a long time, it will be such a good investment for us. Plus, it means we get a little more sleep! I highly recommend this pet feeder to anyone with a pet who wakes them up earlier than they want to be up!***Update 09/02/2016 - We have had this pet feeder for well over a year now and it's still working great. We switched our cat from two meals a day to four smaller meals and this feeder accommodates our needs perfectly. I was easily able to switch the times so our cat's food is ready in six-hour increments. The feeder has been durable even with our curious twin toddlers poking at it and it's still in great shape. I still believe the five-meal feeder is the best one that suits our needs since we have more flexibility and it allows us to easily change up our cat's feeding schedule without purchasing a new feeder. I still highly recommend this feeder.

I bought this to replace a faulty 'smart' feeder from Feed and Go. I desperately needed something and figured this was cheap enough to be worth a shot until I found something better. Low and behold, this is the best product I've ever used. It's quiet, its accurate, it's easy to use, and it's totally cat proof!I wish that it had 6 tray options rather than the 5, and that it could be powered from a wall plug as opposed to only batteries. That being said, this thing works beautifully as designed so my wishes are not worth docking a star. I had concerns that the batteries would die suddenly, after using this product for a month, I'm pleased to say it works beautifully and we've had no battery issues. I will update in a few months if needed.

I bought this feeder 10 years ago, almost to the day. Since I'm ordering a replacement, you can guess that I've been pretty happy with it. It's reliable in terms of actually feeding, which I think is the most important- if the batteries are going to die, it gives you lots of warning, so it doesn't just stop feeding your pet one morning, and it always moves to the exact position, so they can't get at 2 compartments or be unable to get into the new one. Batteries last years, which is also great. For the last few years, the plastic gears in the mechanism have been slowly stripping, so it's been making a somewhat scary sound when it triggers, but it still moves to the proper location even if it skips a couple teeth. Metal gearing would be nice, but 10 years for $35 is a pretty great deal. There might be cooler feeders with more capacity or fancy features, but I want a set-and-forget, reliable thing, so I'm sticking with this!

I'm actually really happy with the durability of this product and thrilled I bought it. I thought an autofeeder was just not possible for my very food-obsessed cat; she had already broken another brand in a matter of days. I felt guilty leaving her for a weekend as she'd eat all her food in 5 minutes and now it's not a concern.It was immensely annoying for the first week or so as she tried everything she could to break into it. However, she eventually realized that it wasn't going to happen and she mostly leaves it alone now. She also stopped pestering me hours before feeding time and knows her food comes from this feeder instead (she sits and stares at it for hours instead).Anyway, highly recommend this brand for persistent naughty cats who try to break in and steal all the food.

My father is on a restricted diet and he forgets that he can't have certain snacks or eat too many. This feeder allowed us to lock up his snacks and only load the feeder with what we are allowed to give him. He gets his snack once every afternoon while we are at work and it's secure enough that he can't open it. Sure it would work great as a pet feeder as well, but anyone who has a senior at home may want to check this out!

Great item. Setting up the schedule is non intuitive—could be a lot easier but luckily once it is set it should be saved until battery replacement. The beauty of this item is that every night I measure out her food for the next day and it delivers each feeding on schedule. My dog (16 lb dachshund @dognamedmonkey ) no longer begs my wife to be fed. She has learned that the food "appears" at 6 AM, Noon, and 6 PM. The first time it rotated for a food delivery she jumped, but of course, she now knows the sound and will come running if she hears it. I was worried about tales of pets manually rotating the tray to get food but that has not been an issue at all.2 Month update: Still love it. Since everything is measured out at night by weight. Each night, when I go to refill the compartments I can easily see how much was not eaten. I then drop the amount down by an ounce, and continue to monitor. Over time you can tweak the amount so that it all gets eaten and you can MUCH more easily manage your dog's weight. I have been very slowly monitoring and adjusting and she has dropped a little weight and is back to her "fighting weight". I also went to 4 feedings (6AM, Noon, 5PM, and 8PM) which seems to keep her less food-focused.
