Amazon.com Product Description
Great for cats and dogs, this fully automatic pet feeder features a tough plastic base that holds a food reservoir for food "on demand." The electronic pet feeder's simple, programmable electronics prompt the feeder to dispense portions from 1/4 to 2 cups at three selected times per day. The unit can be set to meet scheduled feeding times and amounts when caretakers are away, but it is not meant to replace human care--please be sure someone still visits the pet daily. The unit's hopper holds 4-1/5 pounds of food and accommodates a full range of dry food sizes, shapes, and types. Required batteries, which are not included, sustain a long battery life of six months. The feeder measures 14-1/2 by 8-7/8 by 15-1/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Love it!!
Great design, well made and easy to use. Our cats love it. They no longer have to worry if the kids will remember to feed them on time. I think the cats have a watch now, they hear it go off and away they go.

Does what it says...
I was thinking it's lowest food setting (1/4 cup) was going to work for us. Turns out it's much more than I feed my cat at one feeding and I wouldn't want her to be fed that amount 3 times per day. She's already gained a little weight and I'm only doing one feeding with the Bistro and manually feeding her smaller portions other times during the day. Otherwise, this product is nice. It's reliable, easy to program, and hassle free. It's much cheaper through Amazon than any other pet store in LA that I could find.

Le Fat Kitty
The cat figured out withing 1/2 hour ( I kid you not) that he could swat the unit and pellets would come out. Might as well just leave food out.
