Petmate® Le Bistro Portion Control 10-Pound Pet Feeder

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 3 cups at three selected times per day. The unit's hopper holds 10 pounds of food and accommodates a full range of dry food sizes, shapes, and types. Requires 3 D batteries (not included). One-year limited warranty.

Starved my Dog

This feeder was awful. I work 14 hr shifts and needed it to feed my dog about 3 hours before I got off work. It would only work when I set it to go off at night. I kept thinking my dog was being fed, but kept wondering why every time I came home from work, he acted like he was starving. Finally I happened to be awake and home when he was supposed to get his 6am dose of food, and it didn't work. That's when I realized that for days before, he wasn't getting fed. So my poor dog was going about 24 hrs without food because this thing wasn't working properly. My husband and I went over it thoroughly and it was set appropriately with brand new batteries. I was never so mad in my life!! My poor baby went hungry because of this thing after I trusted that it was working. I will never purchase anything from this company again!!

Great Automatic Dog Food Feeder

Love this automatic dog feeder. I no longer have to hear our dog whine at 5:30am and 4:30pm everyday for food. This dog feeder has significantly reduced our dog's begging and whining for food and table scraps. I noticed that he doesn't bother us during meal times as often now to beg for food either. I think it's because he's been conditioned to equate food to the sound of his feeder dispenser versus us.
I feed our dog Costco's Kirkland Signature dog food. I haven't experienced any of the issues that other folks have had with this product.

With 2 cats and a busy schedule the Petmate LeBistro Portion Control Feeder ensures they are fed at regular intervals and I can control how much they eat.

I LOVE this pet feeder! I had previously purchased and tried out many others and they all failed and were unreliable but this one hasn't failed me yet! *crossing fingers*
My dogs love it so much they sit by the bowls and wait for their food to come out 3 times a day!

Almost everything about the Petmate Portion Control Feeder is perfect. It's great knowing we don't have to be home at certain times to feed our dog and knowing that the feeder will ensure our dog gets fed. The only issue I've noticed is that it sometimes dispenses a certain amount of food even though it's not scheduled. I've only seen it do it twice but I'm not home all the time so I can't be sure. I'm monitoring the food level in case my dog is being fed too much. Other than that, you will not be disappointed.

Great for working owners or pets on a diet.

This product has saved my life more then once. I've had it for about 2 years now and I love it. I was skeptical when I read other reviews complaining that it was "too difficult to figure out" or "the directions weren't clear". I found everything to be quite clear, and the directions were so easy for me, I memorized them after two read-throughs. I assume anyone having trouble with it is not normally familiar with digital electronics. The batteries last a long time (about 6 months) and it great because I have it set for the wee hours in the morning that my cat bothers me for food (No more crying!). She also got used to it right away, it did not scare her at all. In fact the recognizes the sound it makes when it is dispensing food, and she runs to it. It's very convenient for owners who are working long hours and can't give their pet lunch. The top locks shut so even if they tip it over, the food won't come out (but make sure to line up the arrows). The only con I have is that my cat figured out how to stick her paw up in the chamber to get more kibble. But she's known for being sneaky and figuring these things out (especially when it comes to food).
I highly recommended this product to anyone looking to buy it!
