PetSafe 5 Meal Programmable Pet Food Dispenser, Automatic Dog and Cat Feeder - 5 Cup/40 Ounce removed from the wishlist
Description
Traffic may make you late for your pet's dinner time, but the PetSafe 5 Meal Pet Feeder has got you covered! This automatic pet feeder has a removable tray with 5 sections that each hold 1 cup of dry or semi-moist food. You can schedule 1-5 meals per day for your cat or dog using the digital clock. You are able to select the time your pet is fed down to the minute. Once the schedule is set, your pet's meals will automatically be served at the same time each day. When you fill the feeder, 1 meal will be available and ready for your pet to eat. When it's time for the next meal, the tray will rotate so your pet can access their food. If your dog tends to eat his food too quickly, or if you want to help manage your pet's weight, use the 5 Meal Pet Feeder to schedule smaller meal portions to keep your pet healthy. When it's time to clean the feeder, place the removable tray in the top rack of the dishwasher for easy clean-up. Trust PetSafe to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

Great Feeder
This feeder was perfect for helping me keep my cat's diet on track without over or under feeding her. Cleaning the unit is easy and I love that I can keep the same reliable serving schedule every day.

Great Feeder for Years
I've had my feeder for over 15 years and never a problem . Several cats have used it and all have loved it. I generally don't go away for more than three days , I program slightly different times to make it interesting and confirm battery strength before setting it up . It seems to use very little power.

Convenient product, difficult packaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this automatic pet feeder for my cats from Influencer! The product itself is very nice, once it’s set up. Programming the timing took a bit, but was able to set it up as we needed. The kitties have taken to it quite easily, and we’re excited to try it out on a weekend away. Packaging was a nightmare to get though, as evidenced by the picture taken—please make it easier! Finally, the product does take up quite a bit of space, but I’ll gladly accept that for the convenience of feeding the kitties!!

Pickle approved
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product for free for my honest review. My cat pickle has decided that this cat feeder is a chair to sit on when he eats and drinks water. He was a little scared of it at first but it took him maybe a day or two to get used to it and now he doesn’t mind it! I like how it can keep portions for a few feedings if I’m having to go out of town for a day or two.

Very handy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pet feeder has made things so much easier when feeding our cat. Sometimes we are not home when it is feeding time, and you can set this to feed exactly when you want. It’s very easy to clean, and I like that there are 5 different slots for food.

Perfect for my cats diet needs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This automatic pet feeder is exactly what I needed in my household. My cat needed to go on a diet, and I wanted to give my cat a set schedule. Setting the time schedules was easy, and I was able to set it for every 12 hours. I like knowing I can give my cat a healthy amount of food at any given time. It also helps when i go out of town for the weekend, l I know my cat will be able to follow its feeding schedule.

Questions
1 - 10 of 17 Questions
Is there a place for an ice pack in this feeder to keep wet food cool?
- Thank you for this question! No, there is no spot on this feeder for an ice pack; it is intended for use with dry and semi moist food only.
Helpful?
Has anyone used it with canned food? My cat doesn't like it after it has sat around, so to load it and leave it, will the food dry out?
- I use it with wet food; I give two small meals of wet and two small meals of dry to my overly enthusiastic eater, Ebony. At 5 AM, she also gets a few kibbles or a treat in the feeder so she doesn't wake me up. With the wet, I add some water to it and it does well. However in the summer I was disgusted when I discovered that fruit flies had found her early evening meal of wet food, so I do need to feed her again twice a day in the "fruit fly" months to avoid their evil delight with Ebony's food.

Can I use this outside on a deck to feed feral cats? I’m wondering about the batteries. It will be protected from the rain, but we’re still getting some freezings temps at night
- I am sorry, I cannot help you as I don't use the pet feeder outside. This is more of a battery question than the pet feeder Although I have other items that use batteries and I leave them over the winter in Northeast cold without a problem.
Helpful?
Odd question: does anyone know if this device works while upside down? Will it still rotate? I’m considering rigging it to the topside of a crate, so the food falls down when the meal dispenses.
- I haven't tested that functionality, but I don't see why it wouldn't work upside down. The timer is digital, but the rest of it is mechanical, so not much to go wrong. Food might fall into the mechanism and mess it up, though.
Helpful?
How do I order the gray color feeder? That is what is featured in the pics but the taupe color appears too. I ordered another PetSafe product from another vendor and taupe color came (when I thought it was going to be gray). Is it luck of the draw?
- I have the gray. I just ordered from petco.com. Do not remember if there were any color choices or not.
Helpful?
Is there a low battery warning? I have another feeder and I’m worried the battery will die when I’m away, so I’m looking for a feeder with a low battery indicator.
- Yes, there is a low battery indicator. Turns red when batteries are low. I keep mine plugged into an outlet with batteries as a backup. Great feeder. I have two feeders for two cats.
Helpful?
I just got this Petsafe 5 compartment automatic petfeeder as a gift and cannot get the D batteries in correctly! Cannot get the 2nd, 3rd & 4th batteries past the big springs that stick out to secure each set of two? Won’t compress down enough.
- We're sorry to hear you are having some trouble inserting the batteries in your feeder. This is not a common issue so we would like to gather some more details to better assist you. Please reach out to our Customer Care Team at 1-800-732-2677. We look forward to working with you soon!

I need to put my cat on a diet. So I'm looking for a timed feeding bowl that can feed my cat small portion though out the day. Will this feeder work for this job?
- Yes absolutely - this is a great product and I have been using it for about 3 years now - I have 3 of these feeders and have them set for 2 feedings per day, 1 feeder for each of my cats, and have not had any issues
Helpful?
I see a lot of reviews on this bowl for cat owners but curious if anyone has used it for a dog?
- I use it for my yorkie when we travel, It works perfectly. We have a 2 meal cat feeder we use for daily feedings as well. I would not suggest it for a large dog (15-20lbs plus) I think they could easily knock it over and get the food out.
Helpful?
Can two cats take turns eating from here? Can you determine how much food comes out each time? Can I program it for the 5 days? I’m going out of town and wanna make sure they’re taken care of
- technically yes but depends on your cats. yes you can measure the amount in each tray. the 5 days has to include the open tray day ("today" + 4 days). Once it's programmed, you just keep refilling it for continuous feeding. get them used to it before you travel. We have 2 of these because our cats eat twice a day. for longer than 4 day trips, we use a different programmable feeder (the big bin that drops food into a bowl).
