Just lovely. Thank you for the precise instructions. I wish all how-to videos were this clear.

[alexandermrkich]

Excellent instructions. If only all how-to videos were this well done!

[Alex-llxm]

This has to be the most relaxing tutorial I've ever followed. Thanks for the help!

My cat ate the instructions last night when I left them on the counter 😅 thank you for the video!

[jfffjl]

Gave up on my other feeder. Thank you for these instructions and a reasonably sensible programming procedure.

[siusaidhchaimbeul]

Thanks so much for this. Found the tiny tiny print written instructions a real pain.

[jeannietuttle-nielsen]

I am so glad I saw this video, the instructions arnt as clear, I was going to return it because I couldn't figure out how to set the meal times.

I watch this video every time i change the batteries 😂 thank u!

[JacintaSeabrook]

I haven't been able to reset for daylight savings time in a year. Thanks for the simple, easy to understand video

Is there a way to set it once for the same time every meal or do you need to do it for each day>

[Kristy]

Thank you!!! Im petsitting and I wasn't seeing the feeder work. I realized the clock was set 20 min ahead of time. The feeder is opening before I get there and I need it timed with the cats medications. I'll change it next visit!!

Hi PetSafe, I'm finding that when I'm away on holiday, the feeder isn't working the way it's supposed to. It's as if it rotates twice in one feeding or something. These are the settings I programmed:

Feed 1: 6pm
Feed 2: 7am
Feed 3: 6pm
Feed 4: 7am

Is it possible that when Feed 3 triggers, Feed 1 also triggers as it's the same time for both?

It's left my household a bit confused and hesitant to use again, for safety reasons.

Thanks!

Will the meals go off in order? For instance, it’s 9:30am on now. If I set the first one to 7am for tomorrow & then the second meal to 12pm, will it go off at 12pm today, or will it wait until the first meal hits 7am?

[sweets_Cat]

My husband and I bought this but we can’t seem to get it to rotate. I even pressed the quick dispense button but nothing

….
Never mind. Had one of tha batteries in wrong

[dirkturtle]

Is there any way to tell if it's set? Like a diode that comes on when you have times programmed?

[miatorelli]

So there’s 5 slots but only 4 are able to be set ahead of time because one is always open 🤦🏻‍♀️

[merveer]

Hi, is there a way to know if the batteries dying soon before the machine stops working? Any warning the feeder gives? Thanka a lot!

[shgw]

Help, I can set the clock and meal times but it won't manually advance or move at the scheduled time

[NAConen]

It stinks that it’s only battery operated. Would like a cord for when 🔋 go out.
