Van Ness Extra-Small Auto Feeder Cat or Dog, 1.5 lb

I try to change the feeder and water, every once in a while, I feel the plastic absorbs bacteria, and needs to be changed. Even washing them they get icky. This one is easy to fill, and wash, the bowel could be deeper, but it works and open at the top so no disassembly to fill.

This feeder was purchased for a small cat. It has a lid so you can fill it from the top and the hole for the food to feed down is adequate so it doesn't clog. It holds more a little more than 6 cups. It is a good value at less than $4.00 and I would purchase again but maybe 2 or a larger one.

went on vacation for a few days needed to have containers at would not get clogged up!!!! and not spend a lot of money with technology and electricity and all that stuff for the automated food systems. this worked out well about several in different sizes. I checked them when I got home they were clog free were able to flow. so how's your appreciative of these theaters and the fact that they did not clog up because most of the other ones are so narrow at the bottom that they do clog up and you don't know if your cat will be able to eat or not which is not a good feeling. these were very affordable also which is a major factor for me!!!

'They say' don't overfeed your cats.. well, I live in the country with a cat door and a half-dozen 'ferals' I consider roommates. Fed twice a day, with this little feeder in case somebody wants a snack. I snack, so do my friends. All of 'em.

No problems at all -- the dry food settles nicely into the bowl. The reservoir is large enough that smaller pets should last several days or a week without reloading. Based on our first experience with our two active cats, the feeder needs refilling no more than once a week -- and likely will go longer. Our cats adapted immediately to using it, and apparently did very well with while we were out of town for a few days.

I almost did not purchase these because the price seems so low, but I figured it was so low that even if I didn't like them, it was not a big loss. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised at how nice they are for the price. They are well designed to give you a finger grip to be able to easily pick them up with one hand. And they easily come apart to wash. Definitely would not be suited for a puppy or dog in my opinion. But they are great for cats.

the plastics on this feeder is very thin so it can break or crack easy if you drop it from 3 feet high. Cat just moves it right and left and I wish now I did not buy this

It's pretty flimsy but either than that it works fine. For some reason i thought this would work with water and food but it only works for food so i had to return one

Thought this would be an upgrade from another feeder we had. Looks nice, but the food doesn't come early out the bottom as well as the other. When we go on vacation, I don't know if the cats will have access to the food, as now we have to shake the bottom tray a bit to get the food to flow down.

Its a good item for the money. It is pretty cheap and u can tell that after the first use. The top on mine does not close anymore. I do wish the bowl was deeper though because if the food is gone and you go to refill it, the food goes to the floor when you fill the container. Other then that no complaints so far. Mind you I've had it for about a month so still a little early to tell how much use I can get out of it.
