PetSafe Electronic Pet Feeder Review

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.

PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station Dog and Cat Water System with Stainless Steel Bowl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My elderly (17+) cat has become so fastidious and unpredictable in his water habits that I thought there was little chance he would use the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station. In order to get a definitive answer, I set up video surveillance to record any time there was activity near the water station. I set it up in a location where there is usually a small bowl of water (I keep more than one around the house).
He ignored it completely the first couple of days, and then started walking over to check it out. That went on for a day or two before he actually drank from it. Last night, he used it six times. Of course, he could go back to ignoring it next week.
The PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station (medium) is a good practical design. I live in an area with very hard water; the removable stainless steel bowl will make it much easier to clean off the mineral deposit ring that forms every few weeks. I used a Petmate Fresh Flow for years; removing mineral deposits from the bowl and ramp without scratching the plastic was tedious, time-consuming job (multiple applications of Lime Away).
Minor issues: The size and shape of the bowl in relation to the reservoir bottle can make it a tight fit for cats because their foreheads have to get so close to the water. My cat does not seem bothered by this on the medium size, but might have a problem with the small size. I think the filters may be a little pricy; since the water I'm using has already been through a PUR filter, I may forego replacing the filter when the time comes.
Follow-up [a few weeks later]: Mr. Cat continues to use the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station, but only if I remove and rinse out the removable stainless steel bowl every 24-48 hours. I kept the video surveillance up for a couple of weeks after the original review and noted that, as time passed, he became increasingly reluctant to use the Water Station and would eventually just ignore it. I try to rinse it out every night just before going to bed; this minimizes the chances of an urgent 3 AM discussion on the water bowl situation.

Maze Pets Auto Pet Dish with Automatic Lid Sensor Review

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.

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

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.
