Is it hard to program the feeding times?
Not at all. The interface is designed for simplicity. You can set the clock and meal times in under 5 minutes using the LCD screen. Once set, it remembers your schedule every day until you decide to change it.
What if there is a power outage?
Safety first! The feeder is powered by a wall adapter, but it also accepts 3 "D" size batteries (not included) as a backup. In the event of a power cut, the feeder will switch to battery mode and continue to dispense food on schedule.
Will it work with large kibble?
To prevent jamming, we recommend using dry kibble with a diameter between 2mm and 12mm. This covers most standard cat and dog food brands.
Can I record a voice message?
Yes! You can record a 10-second message (like "Dinner time!") that plays just as the food is dispensed. This helps keep your pet's routine consistent even when you aren't there to call them.
How much food does the tank hold?
The large capacity tank holds approximately 3.5L to 4L of dry food. Depending on your pet's portion size, this can provide enough food for several days or even weeks before needing a refill.
