We have 3 dogs and a cat.  We bought one to try it and the feeder is very nice.  The set time works well a d we learned we were over feededing our little dog.   I know do fill ups once a week instead of everyone day and night.  We travel on the weekends and this made it easy to go and easy for person watching our animals.  Easy set up,  programing easy a d has good dorectoons. Keep the book close so while learning and adjusting.
