Cat Mate C500 Automatic Pet Feeder Cat or Small Dog Bowl with Digital Timer For Wet or Dry Pet Food, 5 Meal Carousel, up to 330g in each, with Twin Ice Packs for Food Freshness

Product Information

Our cat Mila just loves her food and if we were to leave for more than a few hours, she would eat everything in her food bowl in next to no time - and then get very hungry later. If you don’t need 5 servings per day Cat Mate also makes a similar 3 Meal Pet Feeder and 2 Bowl Pet Feeder. If you’re able to use this feeder to reduce the number of times a cat sitter comes it will probably pay for itself after one weekend. It allows you to portion off a number of meals' worth of food, then give up the goods when the time is right with no further interaction from you. It utilizes a sectioned-off food dish, with space for five individual portions, which sits on a rotating mechanism underneath.

Missed Feedings – If for some reason your pet doesn’t eat a meal before it advances to the next feeding, your cat will miss that feeding. The feeder is easy to program, with a simple LCD control panel that allows you to set feeding times and portion sizes to suit your pet's needs. It also has a built-in ice pack that helps to keep food fresh, as well as a battery backup that ensures it will continue to operate even in the event of a power failure. While we've pointed out some of the possible flaws here, it's definitely worth noting that the overall reaction to the Cat Mate C500 is overwhelmingly positive.

It uses a rotating bowl to expose 5 food compartments and a digital timer to dispense food at the scheduled feeding times. Easy-to-use digital timer allows you to programme up to four individual mealtimes with one bowl available immediately. Many users have noted that the batteries seem to run down particularly quickly, but it should be pointed out that a large number of those retracted their complaints quite quickly: the real issue, it seems, is that the 'low battery' indicator is shown far earlier than it needs to be, and the C500 will actually keep running for a long while after it shows up.

I will only use my cat feeder if I go off for the day and I have pre-set 4 feeding times (1) 8:30: (2) 12:30, (3) 18:00 and (4) 22:30. The Cat Mate C500 is a very practical and effective timed feeder, with a clever design that keeps wet food fresh. The feeder is designed to be easy to clean, with a dishwasher-proof bowl and lid and an easy-to-remove feeding mechanism.There's also a lot of praise out there for its convenience, particularly when it comes to satisfying those cats that are more active at night. Depending on your pet’s feeding schedule you may be able to reduce the need for sitters once per day or even every other day. It has a programmable digital timer and can dispense up to five meals a day, each with a portion size of up to 330g. It stood up to the cat trying to get to the food the first time we used it, she is a hunter and could smell the food inside! You also don’t have to worry about little paws getting stuck in this dispenser because the motor will stop if detects an obstruction when advancing to the next feeding.

By using the digital timer in the top right corner, you can program intervals for feeds, up to a day apart. Users have noted that the Cat Mate C500's use of ice packs (and its decent seal) really does help to keep food fresh, even in summer heat, and does enough to placate those cats that won't touch wet food after it's been sitting for longer than about half an hour.When activated, the mechanism turns, revealing the next portion through the wedge-shaped hole on top. There are rivals with a similar design, but as far as we can tell the C500 is the best of the bunch, particularly when it comes to offering up wet food.

Hello, we have set 4 feeding times, 07:00 (Meal1), 07:30 (Meal2), 13:00 (Meal3) and 18:00 hrs (Meal4). This is usually any easy fix by following the instructions in the manual to realign the compartments. The Cat Mate C500 is an automatic pet feeder that offers a convenient and efficient way to feed cats or small dogs.v lithium batteries can be used but the low battery indicator will only work correctly with standard alkaline batteries.
