"This is exactly what I was looking for. My cat is a grazer and I tend to forget to refill his dry food bowl regularly, he eats wet food twice a day but has dry food out as a snacking option. So this was perfect. The quality is good and it holds enough food that I won't have to refill it very often. ..."
"I purchased this for my cat who is 16 lbs (dog size). Unfortunately, the only way he would eat the dry food is if I took it out from the dish and placed it in front of the bowl to eat. The bowl is very large, but he was still not interested in getting the food from the bowl."
If you have a small pet with smaller kibble, this feeder might work for you. However, for larger pets or those with bigger kibble, consider alternatives to avoid frustration.
