PetSafe Electronic Pet Feeder Review

PetSafe Electronic Pet Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This feeder is exactly what I expected. High quality, easy to use, and reliable. I previously purchased the two - sided feeder by Petsafe and was very happy. It still works great, but I needed to go away for 4 days and it just didn't have enough slots. It took my cat about a week to get used to the whirring noise that the feeder makes when it rotates the dish; He wouldn't go near it if I didn't stand next to him while he ate. I made it a positive experience for him by putting a small meal in each of the slots (even just a few kibbles) and for a week he got a food reward everytime the machine made the whirring noise. Now he runs to the food dish everytime it whirrs because he knows it means food. I definitely would recommend this product to a client (I am a veterinarian). My only advice is to make sure that you give a few weeks for your pet to adapt to the whirring noise before you leave them alone with the food dish. This also allows you to make sure that you learned to program the dish correctly. As for batteries it takes four. I bought this product in August and it's now November. I have not needed to replace the batteries yet. Some purchasers complained that their pets were able to manipulate the machine to get to food ahead of time, but I have not had this problem. This product would be great for anyone working long hours and needing to feed their pet multiple meals per day, which is recommended for pets needing to lose weight and diabetics.

Our Pets Signature Series Review

Our Pets Signature Series
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a cat that has an intense fondness for flipping over her water dish. In fact, she is indiscriminate and will quickly make sure our other cat also has no drinking water. We switched to heavy ceramic bowls she couldn't flip and she switching to pushing them around the house until the water completely sloshed out. We tried mats and towels for friction and clean-up and before long, we were using up a lot of extra space and effort in our kitchen to create some sort of unattractive contraption just to keep the floor dry and our pets hydrated.
It was time for a food stand.
I bought this one pretty indifferently (criteria: it wasn't hideous and it wasn't expensive), but now I've grown to love it. In fact, I'm going to get a second for my other cat.
First off, it's just the right size for both me and my cats. The stand itself isn't tiny (it's not huge either), but the bowls are small (one pint). Standing at 4" off the ground, it's not too high for cats to easily feed out of. I can bring the bowls to the counter to fill with food and water, or simply lift up the whole stand. Either way works fine. It's small and pretty light-weight.
It isn't ugly looking, nor is it fancy enough to attract attention. The black and silver fits nicely with home decor in a simple, subtle way. I can leave this in my kitchen when company is over without feeling like a barbarian (the way I did before with bowls+towels+weights+water-repellent-mat+angry cat), but it's also safe enough to set over carpet if I wanted to.
The stand itself is plastic with little feets for better grip. The bowls are stainless steel, can easily be removed from the stand and are simple to wash. The top of the stand has a lip around it so if your cat manages to shove the entire stand hard enough (as some do), the water will slosh out onto the table and NOT your flooring. Even better, the lip of each bowl is slightly ramped so that any liquids knocked onto the top will stay there and not drip into the neighbouring bowl to create soggy food.
In short, I no longer have to worry about slipping in a pool of water and breaking my neck in my kitchen, my aquaphobic feline now has a how-do-I-beat-this-food-stand project to keep her occupied, and both of them now have drinking water, even if I've neglected to supervise their feeding area upon water refill.

Ergo Auto Pet Feeder, Small Review

Ergo Auto Pet Feeder, Small
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My girlfriend is a vet and says that cats should be feed twice a day the recommended amount on the food can. Open feeding leads to over weight, knee problems and diabetic cats. This feeder works decent. Positives include easy to program, different or same feed times everyday, ability to adjust amount of food easily, chew proof cord and it is quiet. Negatives include auger is easily reached by cat allowing about 10 extra kibbles to fall out if the cat plays with it enough. It only took my cat about a week to figure this out. I have not had any problems since its purchase and my cats no longer wake me for food at 3 am. I built a divider so the food goes into two bowls, one for each cat, and it works good.
This unit is pricey but works well. The quality of the product seems cheap for the price, but nothing has malfunctioned. Definitely recommend to anyone who is annoyed in the middle of the night for food or needs to leave the cat alone for a weekend.

Our Pets Store-n-Feed 22L x 10.25W x 8H
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have three of these Store-N-Feed units and we just love them for our Greyhounds. I've NEVER had water or moisture get inside where the kibble is stored. The units are perfect for traveling too. The weight of the kibble keeps them from moving around. Yes, moisture can get under the stainless steel bowls and, if there is a bit of kibble there, it can get icky, but it's easy to clean and this shouldn't be a problem for most people. I recommend these units without reservation.

Elevated Dish - Large - 30.4 ounce in Blue Review

Elevated Dish - Large - 30.4 ounce in Blue
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have one golden retriever with an elevated food and water combo bowl set. I got a golden retriever puppy last year that now needed his own elevated dish. I wanted just a food dish as I they can both share the same water bowl. This works perfect. It is the correct height for him and he ate his first meal out of it tonight without having to either lay on the floor with his head in the bowl or bend way over. Good height, made well and decent price. Like also that the metal bowl comes out easy for washing. Thank you.

Neater Feeder Dog Bowl Review

Neater Feeder Dog Bowl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The neater feeder totally eliminates the need for 'catch' towels and other devices for my two 90 lb. plus dogs. German Shepherd and Golden Retriever, both messy drinkers. To overcome the tiny metal 'water' bowl, I went to the local Care a Lot pet store and bought two stainless steel one gallon buckets. The buckets fit in the same holes and keep enough water for the day. I have two of the feeders, one for each dog. A water bucket and the small 'made to fit the unit feeder bowl' are both used, one per unit, so each dog has his own feeder station. I cleaned up water off the floor for YEARS. Glad I found my neater feeder one day on QVC. I recommend it to anyone with a large dog, but the water bowl is not enough for my dogs, so the stainless steel one gallon bucket from Care A lot pet store does the trick. The feeder is easy to clean and easy to use. I have the cranberry color for both dogs. What I really like is no more water and food on the floor.

Neater Feeder Cat Bowl Review

Neater Feeder Cat Bowl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a veterinarian I have seen many products that have been offered to pet owners that I am less than impressed with. I also am an owner of two Himalayan cats that love to drag their food 2-3 inches from the food bowl. They make such an incredible mess everytime they eat. The neater feeder has literally solved this problem. I no longer have dry food kibbles rolling around my bedroom. The tray is an extremely simple and flawless design. I recommend this product to anyone who has messy eaters! I was not pleased with the distributor since the product was not shipped in it's own box making it difficult to gift wrap. The distributor of this product, unfortunately, was unaccommodating and did not address my concerns. If this is a concern for you make sure you contact the distributor directly.

Our Pets Big Dog Feeder 16-Inch Review

Our Pets Big Dog Feeder 16-Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had this model for my great danes. The tray on top gathered a lot of pet hair and food crumbs and needed to be cleaned often. The grossest part was under the bowls. Slobbery water will spill under the water bowl and you will have to clean it daily or it will get really gross. Don't fill the legs with water (it says to use either water or sand) because the legs are easy to come off and you don't want the water to spill on the floor. I guess you wouldn't want to spill sand either :) It's not a big issue until you need to move it. Overall, I'd recommend getting the heavy wire ones with the rubber stoppers on the feet. That has worked the best for my dogs.

Maze Pets Auto Pet Dish with Automatic Lid Sensor Review

Maze Pets Auto Pet Dish with Automatic Lid Sensor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This doggie bowl does what it's supposed to: it's got a large silver bowl that's removable and easy to clean and holds a good amount of food, the lid operation works as advertised: your dog (or you if you walk by ;-)) steps in front of the bow and the IR sensor causes the lid to pop open. The batteries seem to last a long time, and you have the ability to turn off the lid via a switch in the back.
Why 3 stars? Well, the lid opening and closing is a bit loud; it makes a jarring mechanical "gear" noise. We have a small dog and it scares the bejeesus out of him! While it's really funny, he doesn't want to go anywhere near the bowl..meaning he doesn't eat. So the bowl is pretty useless. If you have a big brave dog, maybe it'll work well. We've resorted to turning off the lid function and just open it for him when it's time to eat.

Pet Food Storage and Server Review

Pet Food Storage and Server
Average Reviews:

I purchased this item about two months ago for my aging golden retriever. The unit looks nice, and I liked being able to store stuff below. It was a little inconvenient to have to remove the dishes to get to the space, but fine nonetheless.
My dog isn't the neatest drinker, and water was sometimes dripped around the edges of the bowl. Unfortunately, this ended up dripping into the storage container below. The water became trapped, warping the bottom of the container and turning the stored dog food into mold. I definitely wouldn't purchase this again.

The feeding station cannot be used for storage of food because when you open the drawer the whole thing falls forward spilling water all over the place including into the dog food. Would have been nice to know this before I purchased.

The Dynasty 11-1/2-inch-high pet feeding station is a comfortable way for pets to get their nourishment. The easy-to-assemble feeder puts food 11-1/2 inches off the floor, helping a pet's posture, joints, and leg muscles, promoting better digestion, and minimizing the risk of choking. Two 3-quart stainless-steel bowls nestle in a base with a beautiful antique black matte finish. The design features a large drawer for storage of food, treats, or toys, and the bowls are separated from the contents of the drawer by a panel to prevent accidental spills from getting into the drawer. The bowls are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The feeder is easily assembled at home, and it measures 12-1/2 by 11-1/2 by 23-1/2 inches.

Ethical Pet Hi-Rise Single Diner 2-Quart Pet Dish Review

Ethical Pet Hi-Rise Single Diner 2-Quart Pet Dish
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two large labs who would take food out of their bowls and drop it on the floor to eat it. They would leave food everywhere. My oldest lab is 14 and has a hard time getting up and down and the youngest is 6. This product was the perfect height for both my dogs. The bowls are large enough to feed two dogs with big appetites and there is no more food on the floor they eat over their bowls instead of on the floor. The stand is made of durable metal and it looks stylish. The bowls are stainless steal and come clean with a little soap and water. The only issue I have is that they slide on the hardwood floor but that's an easy fix, I just put a little mat under each one. I highly recommed this product. My mom even wants one for her lab.

Replacement Ice Pack for the C-20 and C-50 Ani Mate Small Dog/Cat Feeders Review

Replacement Ice Pack for the C-20 and C-50 Ani Mate Small Dog/Cat Feeders
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I tried to use this ice pack in my C-20 feeder, it seemed to be too big by less than a quarter inch. I contacted the sellers who told me I had a slightly older version of the C-20 which is why it didn't work. They were very apologetic and offered a refund. Because I found no alternative products, I threw the ice packs in the freezer and decided to give it one more shot. To my amazement, when frozen, the ice packs expanded in such a way that they actually fit into the feeder with just a little push. Now that they're working, I love the two I own and plan to buy more.

Automatic Cat Feeder Combo/ CSF-3XL 1.8 Gal. /With NEW Bowl, Analog timer and Stand Review

Automatic Cat Feeder Combo/ CSF-3XL 1.8 Gal. /With NEW Bowl, Analog timer and Stand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've been through every automatic feeder there is. No, not just the ones on Amazon -- we also went through 2 "Perfect Pet Feeders" -- yes the $450 polished chrome thing you see online. Both units shipped broken with different problems, I wouldn't recommend that feeder to anyone.
Nothing was working -- the cheapest feeder on Amazon was inconsistent and the first one shipped broken (wouldn't feed ever).
What I liked so much about this feeder when I finally saw it was the *lack* of frills and the use of an external (replacable) timer unit. While we all like glitzy/expensive machines to do our bidding (especially me), I was so fed up with ultra-fancy, computer-controlled machines that never worked that the utter simplicity of this device really got me intrigued.
NOTE: I was a bit turned off by the pictures of this, thinking there was going to be a lot of complexity with putting it together and wiring it up -- don't worry, it's not complex. The pictures just make it look like some sort of electronic science kit. It's just as easy to put together as anything else you've ever bought that needed minor assembly.
Anyway, we got the feeder, plugged it in, adjusted the size of the mouth (to match the food pellet size) and then the duration of the motor run-time (which determines how much food comes out with each feeding) and then on the dial-timer, set it to trigger the feeder every 3 hours.
That was 6 months ago... we've never messed with it since and just make sure it's filled with food every few weeks.
The cats are happy and go running every time it turns on, we're happy... everyone is happy.
Absolutely recommend you give this one a try.

JW Pet Company icon Curve Elevated Feeder Dog Bowl, Medium/Large (Colors Vary) Review

JW Pet Company icon Curve Elevated Feeder Dog Bowl, Medium/Large (Colors Vary)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It was hard to tell from the picture or the description whether the bowls were plastic or metal, and I unfortunately assumed the latter, but was wrong. Plastic bowls are not great for most breeds of dogs, as they harbor bacteria, and obviously can be chewed, which can cause irritation and/or cuts and scrapes to the dogs face and mouth. Also, to keep my dogs from stealing each others' food, I feed them in their crates. From the dimensions I also assumed (I'll learn to stop assuming) that this feeder would fit comfortably in a large crate with plenty of room for my dog to eat. Because the design of this feeder is so round and wide, the "legs" are just slightly too wide for the tray in the bottom of the crate. This would probably be a decent feeder for someone who doesn't mind lots of plastic or that have a larger area for the feeder. It's definitely not compact or discreet, though it does seem to be sturdy for an all plastic product.
