Thia automatic pet feeder has honestly been such a time saver for me. Between having 2 dogs and 2 cats it was a hard decision as to which animals I was going to use this for. With one of my boxers being able to only eat from only a slow feeder bowl it was a no brainer.  Since I work in the school system full-time I have all my animals on a pretty consistent schedule. I no longer have to feed my cats at 5am and 5pm. This amazing machine saves me so much time and I'm able to do other things now! The other thing I love about it is when I make out of town trips it stores an entire bag of food so no more trips to the garage to get their food! I wish I had had this years ago. I highly recommend it!!!  Genius invention for pet owners.
