Product Description
The 8-day Auto pet feeder can be used to feed pet wet food, dry food and pet medication. It is designed with an eight compartment feeder bowl and has a unique digital timer with voice recording. The 8 day feeder digital timer features a manual override/test switch and up to 8 programs per day with daylight saving feature. The timer can be programmed at for the exact feed time unlike other feeders which have 6, 12 or 24 hour incremental feed settings. This enables feeding the pet 8 times per day for 1 day, 3 times a day for 2.5 days, or 2 times for 4 days or 1 time a day for 8 days etc. Hence pet meds can be given to the pet at the exact time. The timer records the voice and plays it back at every meal time. The 8-day Auto pet feeder works on AA batteries and is compact and portable. 8 Day feeder holds over 96 ozs of food - 12 ozs of canned food or dry food per compartment. It comes with a removable bowl for easy cleaning and ice packs to keep food fresh for up to 12 hours. The feeder works best for small dogs and cats that have to be fed small quantities of dry/wet canned food alone or mixed with medication. Veterinarian recommended.

Works great for cats,

This review is from: Ergo 8-Day Auto Pet Feeder (Misc.)
I've been using my ergo petfeeder for two years now and I'm not sure what I would do without it. Our cat would wake us up earlier and earlier each day for her food and meow any time we were in the kitchen. Since we bought this and started using it for her feedings twice a day, she no longer associates us with the source of food. That means we get to sleep in :) and no more meowing in the kitchen.To address a few issues: 1) I did have motor issues on my first feeder, but ergo replaced it and it has been working great since 2) My cat tried to get into the feeder the first night, but once she realized she couldn't , she hasn't tried since. I have a fairly normal sized 10 lb cat. 3)If the recorded voice is getting static-y or the compartment isn't turning fully - it's time to change the batteries 4) If the feeder didn't go off at the appointed time, it's most likely that it's not in "autofeed" mode

This review is from: Ergo 8-Day Auto Pet Feeder (Misc.)
This thing is poorly constructed and the electronics are lousy. It did not hold up to minimal use. We set 6 of the 8 programs so it would feed 6 times per day.After a few weeks, the electronics started to fry: the recorded voice sounded full of static and the tray would not turn fully to the next position, leaving our cat hungry. If you can't rely on this to feed your cat every time, it's not worth having! The plastic top has a round center that "snaps on" and is the "handle" for the top. This fell off and would not snap on again. As far as usability, the top rotates around 8 "bowls" instead of the bowls rotating underneath, which means the "feeding bowl" is constantly moving. If you want to put this in a corner, the "feeding bowl" will sometimes be facing out, and sometimes be nearly inaccessible. This means the unit takes up more space than necessary because it can't be tucked away, it has to be accessible from all sides. I am thorougly disappointed. I am trying one other product like this (from a different manufacturer, via mightypets) where the bowl rotates instead of the top. If that doesn't work out, I'm going back to a plain dish and manual feeding.

They didn't think that a cat might try to get at the food?,

This review is from: Ergo 8-Day Auto Pet Feeder (Misc.)
This product is a joke. While it might seem hard to believe, there is absolutely nothing to lock the turning lid on to the motor. Nothing screws in or locks in to place. The lid twists on to the middle part, and once you access the timer and/or bowls a couple of times the "twist grooves" loosen up. So when I presented it to my cat for the first time he smelled food to the left compartment (yes there are big gaps for the smell to come through) and promptly pushed the lid to the left exposing half of the compartment with food in it and started to paw it out. Realize that it is the lid that moves, giving the pet leverage to push it off as well as making it impossible to access in a corner. Even the motor has some give to it, you can push the lid to the right (which would tighten the lid in the grooves) but it still moves a good inch, which even if the pet can't get the food it should at least infuriate him! It's not even possible they tested this product with real animals.
