Product Description

As pet parents, we know that life can sometimes be hectic or the unexpected happens and you just can't get home on time to feed and water your pets on schedule. For times like this, the Van Ness Gravity Auto Feeders and Waterers provides a stress-free solution, ensuring your pets have fresh water and food when they need it. The Small Size Auto Feeder holds 3 pounds of kibble and uses gravity to continuously dispense food to your beloved pet. The Auto-Feeder fills easily from a hinged top-open lid. The Feeder is proudly made in the USA from USFDA approved plastic that is BPA-free and food safe. The smokey finish allows you to see when it's time to refill, and the sides of the feeder have built in hand-grips so you can easily pick up the dish. The feeder is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Gravity feeders are recommended for pets who know how to pace out meals. If your pet has difficulty with overeating, just load the recommended amount of daily kibble before you head out for the day. Van Ness offers both smaller and larger sized auto-feeders and waterers so you can choose the best size to meet your pets needs. The Small 3 lb Auto-Feeder measures 11.5" deep x 6 7/8" wide x 8.5" high.

Works OK but could be designed a little better?
4 Stars
Works OK but could be designed a little better?
Dispense small ”kibbles” only to the back of the tray. My cat has to stretch to get her “kibbles” Wish it would dispenses further out into the dish!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy peasy
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2023
We had a feeder and water bowl like this, just different color, for 15 years. Worked out great for our Yorkie. I sold them when we no longer needed them, mistake. We ended up getting another yorkie and a different setup that wasn’t that great. Here we are now with what we started with.

It’s small, holds plenty of food for our little guy, food doesn’t get stuck, inexpensive, easy to fill, no plugs or batteries or moving parts. Just works.

Reviewed in Brazil on February 23, 2024
1. É fragil? É. Particularmente os enceixes da tampa (clique para ampliar fotos). Mas é só ter cuidado ao manusear.
2. A abertura de derrame da ração é enorme. Reduzi o tamanho con um pedaço de pote de requeijão. Ficou ótimo. (fotos).
3. Aceitação pelos gatinhos. Imediata para um deles, outros ainda estão curiosos. Acredito que todos vão usar a partir de hoje, pois vou retirar as tijelinhas de ração nos intervalos entre refeições (tentando estimular a busca pelo comedouro). Quando tiver mais informações, volto para editar a avaliação.
De maneira geral, recomendo o produto.
