About the product

THE ORIGINAL!
NEW and IMPROVED! Better 'slider' action and a more refined finish.
A simple device to help busy families and seniors keep track of when their dog has beenn fed.
Mounts almost anywhere. About the size of a double wall switch.

Product Description

If there is a dog and more than one person in your home, you are familiar with this question: "Did you feed the Dog?" You know you can't rely on the dog to answer this question honestly. If asked, dogs will lie. Behold, our solution! Move one of the sliders when you feed the dog, ...slide 'em all back at the beginning of the week. No batteries or extended training required. Mounts almost anywhere. It may help instill a sense of responsibility with some of the younger folk in your house. It's an analog device with appeal to those that may reminisce about a pre-app, tactile world. It assuredly complements your already stylish home. It may also bring a little peace & quiet to your home as no one needs to bellow 'did you feed the dog?' anymore. The unit is constructed of high impact ABS plastic with a stylish brushed-metal appearance (black back & sides). Product dimensions are 4-3/8" w x 6" h x 5/8" d. Two mounting options are included: 2 pieces of sticky foam tape and 2 pieces of sticky magnetic material.

To bring peace and quiet to your home.

Good, useful product, but poor quality

ByJessicaon September 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a clever idea and I like that it has the days listed. However, the one that I received has marks on it and is all dinged up. It's not meant to be an eye-catching decoration, but I was at least hoping for one that looked new. Also, the magnets that came with it aren't strong enough to hold it to my fridge, even though it's just a flimsy piece of plastic. Right now it has another magnet below to keep it from sliding down, and it's an easy fix with a quick trip to a craft store, but it's an annoying inconvenience.

Junk!

ByNamasteon April 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

Arrived late and excited to open. So disappointed at first glance inside the package. Unit buttons painted silver, has rubbed or scratched off showing green underneath, and scratching marks all over silver front. I opened the package and the buttons are so hard to push from fed to not fed, it feels like something has to be wrong on the inside. It is very light weight, buttons should slide freely. It feels like now I'm scratching the paint when sliding the buttons, or grinding the plastic on the inside. I'm not going to hang this for all to see, it looks extremely old/used. it's not at all what I expected, and will be returning.

ByMmmBeeron April 6, 2017

My mistake,I didn't look at the size and expected it to be about the side of a deck of cards. It's much larger -- maybe about the size of a Hallmark card. It's very cheaply made. The magnets are weak so my brilliant idea of having a small unobtrusive reminder magneted to the fridge won't work. If you try to slide a marker the entire thing slides around the fridge. Returned it.

Good idea; low quality execution

ByCustomer1138on February 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Love the idea behind this, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. As with some of the other reviews, mine arrived scuffed up on the surface, and the magnets aren't strong enough to hold it to the fridge on their own. The other main issue is that the sliders themselves aren't great quality. Some of them slide really easily (too easily -- meaning they could potentially get brushed and you'd lose track of that day's feeding), while others won't slide without significant force (i.e., taking it off whatever surface it's attached to and pushing with more force). Hopefully future versions will be higher quality. I'm not sure it's very useful as-is -- just as easy to keep a whiteboard on the fridge and mark an "x" for daily feedings. Still, it's a great idea. Hopefully it'll improve over time.

cool idea, poorly constructed

ByArt Vandelayon September 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

I had the same experience as a lot of other reviewers.

The "switches" on mine were all very very stiff, and I spent maybe 10 minutes just toggling them back and forth to get them to loosen up. It might have worked to unscrew the back cover and use a little oil or something, but I didn't get around to that. Given that the switches are the ENTIRE function of the product, it's pretty lame that they're so unpleasant to use.

Also, there was a whole rectangular area around the front where the silver finish was worn off by (I think) friction with the packaging it came in. For an item this cheap, it wasn't worth the trouble to return it and try my luck with a replacement.

Not much to say about it, it came as pictured, mine didn't have scratches on it. I am not using the magnets that came with it but since I read the reivews stating they are bad if i want to use the magnetic part I will just buy some other magnets for it. It works for what I wanted it for.

Sad but true...won't stick worth a flip.

ByTrytoBuySmarton March 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Good concept but magnets not strong enough to hold it up and adhesive not strong enough to stick either. I'll have to find something else to use to place it where I want, like stronger magnets. Disappointing but again the concept is good

Not Bad

ByDavid Zon December 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

It's a little cheaply made, as one might imagine, but it does the trick. Don't use the hangers it comes with though, they aren't the easy-release type and WILL $#@% up your walls if/when you remove them. Pickup a couple 3M sticky wall tabs.
