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.

Gets the Job Done
Bought the small size for my two cats. Able to fit 3 lb. bag of dry food in the compartment. The lid is a little looser than Iâd liked (closes with a soft click instead of hard snap-on) but the cats havenât tried to pry it open or knock it over. As you can see in the photo, most of the food is concentrated near the container mouth and doesnât flow into the bowl area as much. But my cats can eat from it just fine as it is. It might not work as well for bigger dog kibbles but works just fine for medium sized cat kibbles. I imagine the smaller the kibble the easier it is to flow. It is pretty stable on the silicone food mat. The container itself is light, mainly relying on the food weight to keep it in place.

Lasted 8 years! Great product
Just got on to buy another cat feeder after years 8 years of use out in the sun it has finally broken. This has been a great feeder and I just bought the exact same one. We did buy an electric feeder last fall and it’s already broken, so this is the way to go!

Great price, but a little flimsy. Good for small pets only.
This small feeder works well for our little dog. It is a little flimsy. So, it is only for small pets.

Just what we needed
This auto feeder for our very picky cat will work perfectly for leaving dry food for him to snack on when he’s hungry

Good Price
Great deal, but food tends to stay towards the top of the bowl. Iâm trying to train my cat to paw it downward (you would think this would be pretty natural, but this cat is incredibly spoiled). I bought it so I could go out of town for a weekend and not worry about her food for a couple of days, but I still was. My brother came over and moved it downwards into the bowl, haha. It just gets clogged into the top part, but itâs still there and could be eaten. Maybe Iâm overfilling the top part, and itâs too heavy for such a light bowl. It was a great deal!

This is easy to use
The gravity feeder is the perfect size for my cats. It fir on a shelf of their cat tree and that keep the dogs out of their food. Easy to put together and easy to clean and fill. Thank you!

Simple and Basic
I have used many dry feeders in my life for a variety of pets. I purchased this as a vacation backup (we use a petsitter but I have an irrational fear they won’t show up, so, this is a backup in case the sitter doesn’t show!).This was a fantastic backup feeder! Easy to load, steep enough the food comes down, and the cats ate plenty (too much) food from it.We have a more expensive and more stable feeder as our main feeder. The one we own upstairs is stable enough a cat could stand on top of it and not knock it down. This listing is not that level of stability, nor did I expect it to be for the price.This is a great buy, however, if you’re looking for something long term it depends on what kind of pet you have. An animal could easily knock this down or lift the lid if they wanted to do so. Some animals are that obnox- determined, and some aren’t .

Good size but….
The automatic feeders and Waters you sell they’re a good size however they’re too pinched and then design of the bowl this causes your pets food not to flow properly out into the dish and if they try to use their paw or something to make it come out you end up with pet food all over either side of that pinched area also you need a real hinge on the lid for this it’s not a full hinge when you pop it open the whole top just comes off and being that it’s small where the way you designed your closure is you have to do trial and error on the back part before the front part snaps into place! If you don’t hear and feel that snap in the front it’s not closed. A regular hinge that would leave the top in place and widening that pinched area, would make this perfect. Because it’s easy to clean, doesn’t have that heavy plastic smell that some do and it’s otherwise sturdy.

Fill this feeder up and itâs good for several days. It drops cat food to the bottom dish at a perfect level. The price was inexpensive, especially when to other ones. I love the âflipâ lid vs the screw-on tops on other brands. Just a great feeder.

Feels a bit cheap, but it serves its purpose

Produto de boa qualidade, exatamente conforme aunciado e entregue antes do prazo – em perfeitas condições. Os gatos estranharam no inÃcio, o que já era esperado, mas já se acostumaram.No entanto, uma ressalva: a tampa do reservatório de ração é bem leve – recomendo fechar com uma fita adesiva para evitar que o animal derrube o conteúdo.

1. à fragil? Ã. 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.
