bad timing and breaks Date: June 1, 2009
"Timer is off, cat managed to trow it across the room and rip the batteries out then rip the doors off. Totally broken within a month. If that's the damage a 5 lb cat can do, its really shoddy!"

Great Purchase for our Cat Date: November 30, 2008
"Our cat eats too fast and often gets sick afterward if we allow him to have to much to eat. This was a problem if we were at work in trying to leave him food. We have to feed him smaller meals, more frequently. We use the timers to make sure he gets smaller, more frequent meals when we are not home. We have used 1 feeder and have had great success. We have not had to even replace a battery yet. We are buying another one so we can space his meals even more. Our friends have used the timer and are going to purchase themselves. Highly recommend. Not sure why others have had problems. We had a carpet cleaner who was at our home doing work. He saw the timer and loved the idea and he went out and bought one himself for his cat. Has worked great."

Easy to Use Date: June 16, 2008
"Not only in this easy to use but it really helps me moderate my cats food intake. I would have given it 5 stars but isn't very sturdy, I have a feeling it could break, but so far so good."

Not worth it - Timer is off Date: May 19, 2008
"I bought this product a few days ago...before I left my cat overnight, I tried out this product to see if the feeder will open it's lid on time.
Well, the timer was well off! I set the feeder to open in 2 hours and it took 4hrs!!! Double the time! Not reliable at all!
In addition, the product is NOT worth the price. It is built with filmsy plastic and a noisy timer....but most of all. The time is not accurate!
As a result, I just got myself a catsitter....what a bad product."

Spend the money for a better one Date: May 17, 2008
"I bought this about a year ago and it is now non-functional. For one thing, it does have an annoying ticking sound, and it doesn't seem to be well constructed. I rarely used it (one weekend a month max) and one time I came back and only one feeder had opened. The next time neither of them had opened and the timers hadn't even moved. The battery was brand new - although that is another problem, that you will not know when the battery is running low till it runs out completely. For the price, I think this is very cheaply made and it broke very easily. Now I have to spend the money on a more expensive one that I should have gotten in the first place. I can imagine that hungry cats can get into it if they want to, which might not be a bad thing if it stops working suddenly like mine did. The only plus is that you can put wet food in it."

LOVE it! Date: May 6, 2008
"Works very well -- I was nervous because some other reviewers said their cat was able to break into this, but after 1 week of twice daily use, my cat hasn't. She walks around it, sniffs it, looks at it .. but hasn't been able to get into it. I got this because after our vet recommended a diet of only being fed twice a day, we started serving her 1 can in the morning (6am) and 1 can in the evening (6pm). Gradually she has started wanting her breakfast earlier and earlier and lately is jumping on my head at midnight. This is the perfect solution to keep her from waking me up at night. I have now set it to give her half a can at midnight and the other half in the morning, and I wish I had bought this long ago! I definately recommend it."

I've used these for years Date: January 14, 2008
"I've owned my cat, Amanda, for almost 15 years. Several years ago I realized she was allergic to dry food so I had to find a way to feed her during the day. These feeders have been a fantastic solution. I use them at night to give her a snack so she won't wake me up. For longer trips (overnight and vacations), I can set the feeders up (I have two of them), or my neighbor can get the kitty ready for the next 24 hours worth of food. It's an excellent product, lasts a long time, and is my answer to a tough feeding problem."

not helpful Date: May 3, 2007
"i bought this feeder because my cats are constantly waking me up at 3am to be fed.
however, not only does this product make a loud ticking noise which attracts my cats, but it's also very cheaply made. my cats tore it apart in less than 5 minutes. complete waste of $40. would not recommend."

Great ONE pet feeder Date: March 5, 2007
"This product is great if you have a cat or small dog who cannot be free fed. One of my cats tried for several days to get the thing open before the timer went off, to no avail. One concern was them being able to get it open by themselves, but that turned out to be a non-issue.

However, because of the way these feeders are set up, you cannot get two separate units (or even the two different sides of the unit) to work in sync with each other. The timer varies by about +/- 30 minutes. Both of my cats need to get fed at the same time or one would eat the food from both when the second went off later.

In short, this is a great feeder for one pet that I would recommend in a heartbeat. Beyond one small pet, I would not recommend this product."

petsafe 2 meal feeder Date: December 16, 2006
"I have used this feeder for my cats and it has worked out very well. Just set the time and go, no worries about them not getting fed if I am gone. They use it daily now and I am thinking of getting another one .
The feeder is easy to fill and close and the dishes come out for easy cleaning....."

Here's Bubba, the 16-lb. determined cat
User submitted photo

Used this for over a year now... Date: December 15, 2006
"Meet my house cat, Bubba. Bubba is not one of those cats who can have the 'all you can eat buffet' . Bubba definitely abuses the 'all you can eat buffet' concept, as evidenced by his rather large "Buddha" belly.

I got this pet feeder out of desperation to get more sleep since Bubba, who is 16 pounds of fur-covered persistence, kept waking me up earlier and earlier to eat. ;) At first it's cute...the soft 'pat pat pat' of an impossibly furry paw on one's sleeping face is certainly a better way to greet the day than the blaring alarm clock. So you humor him - you were getting up in five minutes anyway - and you feed him at 5:25 a.m. Except soon, the soft "pat pat pat" arrives at 5:00 a.m. After a few days of this ever-earlier routine, it's no longer cute. Attempts to dissuade the large, furry alarm clock don't work. For one thing, shoving a 16-lb. animal with claws off a bed is not always easy - especially when you are only half awake and the said feline is completely awake. And determined. And you are wearing very sheer nightclothes.

So I decided to try and disassociate ME from him getting fed and got one of these feeders.

I got it a year ago and it's taken a LOT of abuse from this cat who knows EXACTLY where the food is! LOL! He has pounded on it, scratched it, flipped it upside down, ripped the lid off of it numerous times (it snaps right back on!) and I only JUST now had to even change the batteries on it.

The top of this thing looks more beat up than the Challenger after re-entering the earth's atmosphere!

Most importantly - Bubba no longer pounds on ME to feed him.

And, oh yea, I guess you could also use the thing to feed your cat when you're away for the weekend. ;)"

Not for big dogs! Date: November 23, 2006
"I bought this feeder to help me with my boxer, Romina, and guess what? at the moment she smelled food under those lids, she tore the feeder to pieces. It didn't last one day.
I don't reccommend this feeder to anyone that has a medium or large dog, because they can destroy it beyond repair."
