Product Information

Cat owners who are likely to find the Cat Mate C500 useful include anyone who is sick of their cat waking them up and would rather the cats adjust to waiting by the feeder for their scheduled mealtime. Finally, I had my Maine coon mix Tanzie and my Chihuahua mix Sutton test which feeders were comfortable to eat out of and which ones were easy to break into.

By using any computer, tablet or smart phone (including iPhone and Android) connected to the internet, you can set up feeding schedules wherever you may be. It’s also great for pets who are on weight management diets, as it will prevent them from eating food meant for your other pets. While multiple cats may have no problem sharing a dish that is kept full at all times, sharing a bowl on an automatic feeder can be problematic.One downside to this feeder is that you can’t use it with a pet that weighs more than 60 pounds (per the manufacturer).

An animal-lover with many years of experience as both a pet owner and being involved in the pet industry. The smaller sized kibble was more compatible, so something to keep in mind if your cat has a preference for a bulkier food or you plan to use with a small dog. We axed traditional gravity-fed devices because they’re easy to tip over and break into, and don’t allow you to customize feeding times or amounts, instead just constantly releasing kibble until the bowl fills. You can control the timing of your pet’s next meal with a mobile app, by voice with Alexa or with a manual feed button.It can handle a wider variety of kibble shapes and sizes than the competition, and it keeps kibble and semi-moist food fresh for longer (though you shouldn't leave semi-moist or wet food out for more than a day). To pair the Aqara C1 to your coordinator, press and hold the button on the front for ~5sec until the LED indicator starts blinking.
