Essential Info

Some studies have shown that feeding your pet smaller meals over the course of the day can prevent pet obesity and lead to better health. Unfortunately, most working people can't get home to feed their pet at lunch and many will forget to put out breakfast in a rush to get out the door in the morning. You can change that by ensuring your pet is receiving regular amounts of food on a steady feeding schedule with the Lebistro Portion Control Automatic Pet Feeder. It is a programmable, automatic pet feeder that holds up to five pounds of dry pet food and dispenses portions from 1/4 cup to two cups at a time depending on the size of your pet. Additionally, you can schedule pet feedings up to three different times per day to maximize nourishment throughout the day. The Lebistro Portion Control Automatic Pet Feeder is powered by three D batteries, sold separately.

    works great but needs to be on a hard surface, carpet will push the bowl upward to bind up with the internal feeder door.
    KATE -- neepawa, MB   4/21/2011
    easy to use, instructions were simple to follow. the only thing i dont like about this is that the cat food i use is small pieces and there is some that is left in the dispenser part and falls out. the cat has learned to put his paw up there and get those last kernels. otherwise, this product is awesome. When I first used it, I had to watch the first feeding time to make sure the food came out to see how accurate it was, and it is. I like how it dispenses till the battery dies unlike others that dispense for only a few days then has to be reset. The food portions are accurate as well, my cat is on a diet so this is perfect for not overfeeding. Very impressed! easy to clean and refill.

    Extremely fast shipping and the pet feeder works exactly as described. Very happy customer !
    RUSSEL -- seattle, WA   2/25/2011
    VERY HIGH QUALITY. RELIABLE AND FAIRLY EASY TO PROGRAM AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE ATTEMPTS. HOLDS ALOT OF DRY FOOD SO REASSURING KNOWING THERE IS AMPLE SUPPLY AND LOW MAINTENANCE.
    CORY -- wasilla, AK   1/28/2011
    The feeder is easy to assemble and program, and it distributes the food at the proper time and quantity (up to 3 times a day, 1/4 cup to 2 cups). The clear plastic food bin is thin and a little on the cheap side, but the rest of the unit seems well made and I haven't experienced any problems. One thing of note: within 24 hours my cat figured out how to stick a paw up the chute and release a few kibbles of the next-scheduled portion. He apparently does that throughout the day until the entire portion has been distributed, then at the scheduled feeding little if nothing comes out. However the chute is reset with another portion, which my cat then spends the next several hours fishing out, a couple kibbles at a time. Keeps him occupied, perhaps stimulates the brain, and requires him to wait and work for his food, much like in the wild. Probably not a bad side effect.

    Excellent. Works well and efficiently. Reliable!
    CATLYN -- longmton, CO   11/29/2010
    These contraptions are a great idea but my uber smart, super hyper cat figured out how to break in and get more food within 3 minutes of unpacking and filling the feeder. All she had to do was reach up and spin the release mechanism to get the next portion of food. Then, when it was time for the next feeding, only a little would trickle out because she had emptied the reservoir. I returned mine and purchased the 5 portion feeder which is working great.
    KRISTINE -- st petersburg, FL   9/10/2010
    Easy to use; exceptionally accurate; great value for the money. We had tried non-digital feeders in the past and this product is the only way to go.
    HENRY -- honolulu, HI   9/7/2010
    price is right, less than 10 mins to assemble, has worked perfectly from the git-go. most important, our two cats love it!
    FERNANDO -- franca, XX   8/29/2010
    The product is very good. My dog loved it. I Live in Brazil and product arrived without problems. I'm very satisfied.
    ANN -- centerbrook, CT   6/6/2010
    My cats were too smart for these feeders. Also, I would suggest having them remade because food would just come out at unprogrammed times and the opening is too easy for cats to get their paws up into them. Need to make the opening where the food comes out a litter better made and also so extra food doesn't come out at unnecessary times. One other thing, I do not like the fact that when you return your items for a refund that you do not get any cost of shipping back. I didn't get what any shipping refund back for when I purchased the products, nor when I had to return them. This will probably deter me from ordering again.
    SANDRA -- metairie, LA   3/10/2010
    The LeBistro Automatic Pet Feeder is just great. It was easy to set up the feed times and the portions. I have 4 feeders - one for each cat. Since the timing is not perfect, it's amusing to see the cats scurry to feeders releasing food first. I fill the feeders about every three weeks. When the food in the feeder gets too low it does not dispense properly.
    JOHN -- berlin, MA   2/14/2010
    The feeder dispenses 3 meals. You must program in the minimum 1/4 cup. Food seems to dribble out at any good vibration.
    GLORIA -- froid, MT   1/21/2010
    Installation took little time and was easy. Ease of use - yes, it's easy although the timer isn't accurate. Pets are not always fed on time. I feel for the value, these feeders are over priced.
    AJ -- buffalo, NY   1/21/2010
    The feeder works great, everything that I had hoped for and now my cats sit and wait when they know it's time to be fed!
    PAULA -- columbus, MS   1/19/2010
    Love it, Love it! It was easy to set up, cleans easily and works great. Once I figured out how the puppies ate, it has made feeding so easy. Plan to order feeders for my cats, too. Thanks!!
    ROBERT G -- apopka, FL   1/18/2010
    The product was on back order for a very long time. It performs well but is difficult to adjust the feeder settings.
    MARK -- plymouth, MN   1/16/2010
    It seems to work pretty good, but two things that I do not like. First, it UGLY, and second, when you turn it off, the time of day clears and you have to reset it. Luckily the feeding schedule remains, but how stupid is that?
    DARRYL -- new york, NY   1/16/2010
    When the order finally got here, it was excellent. However, it did take over a month. Yet and still, Smarthome was at least explicit about when it expected to have the item in stock again and alerted me the moment it was sent. I also have great access to tracking information. The product it self...is a life saver! It works like a dream!
    DORIS -- pittstown, NJ   1/11/2010
    Wish this would work with an electric cord; this feeder with batteries can't work outside with these freezing temperatures. Purchased for a feral cat we're feeding, especially when we leave for 2 months and house sitter only comes once a week. But it works indoors fine, if only it would do it on our porch!
