Portion Control Made Easy

The PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed automatic pet feeder makes it easy to feed your pet as little or as much food per meal as is needed. It measures quantities between 1/8 cup and 4 cups, satisfying small pets as well as larger ones, plus easily dispensing large meals to multiple cat households.

 

Accommodates Small to Medium-Sized Pets

This automatic pet feeder is designed to accommodate very small pets – even kittens – and larger ones. It is recommended for small to medium dogs, however if you have a larger dog and don’t mind refilling the hopper more frequently, it will do the trick.

 

Feeds Pets on Schedule

You want to treat your pet to regular meals, even when you’re not at home or your schedule is very hectic. The PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed lets you program up to 12 feedings per 24-hour cycle.

 

Multiple Feeding Modes Including Slow Feed Option

Thanks to multiple feeding modes, this automatic pet feeder accommodates a variety of needs. If your pet has a tendency to gulp food and become ill, you can opt for slow feeding, which dispenses food over a 15-minute time frame. Pause feed will temporarily stop feeding, and immediate feed lets you provide your pet with a quick meal at the push of a button.

 

Sturdy, Large Capacity Design

The PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed automatic feeder holds up to 24 cups of food at a time. A clear hopper lets you see how much food remains inside, so your pet never misses a meal. When full, this feeder weighs approximately 10 pounds, making it difficult if not impossible for pets to knock over. A ring holds the bowl in place, so your hungry cat or dog doesn’t accidentally push it out of position.

 

Dispenses Dry or Semi-Moist Foods

Many automatic pet feeders work with dry food only. The PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed is different; you can rely on it to treat your cat or dog to the dry or semi-moist food they like best. This feeder works with kibbles of different shapes and sizes, maximizing your ability to satisfy your pet’s taste and nutritional needs.

 

Hygienic, Dishwasher Safe Components

For busy pet owners, easy cleanup is among the most important factors when choosing an automatic pet feeder. Many offer lots of exciting features but must be hand-washed; this one features a stainless steel bowl that lifts out for easy sanitizing in the dishwasher.

 

FAQs

  “Is the PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed BPA free?”

Yes. According to the manufacturer, this automatic pet feeder is made with BPA-free plastic. The bowl is stainless steel, reducing your pet’s risk of ingesting toxins.

  “How long do the batteries last?”

The feeder uses four D batteries, which last about one year on average. An optional power adapter can be purchased separately.

  “Can cats reach up the dispensing chute to release extra food?”

A very motivated, small-statured cat might be able to reach up into the dispensing chute from underneath, but there is very little room between the chute and the food dish. The conveyer belt that moves the food has hard plastic dividers on it; one of them is always blocking the chute so it seems almost impossible for a cat to snag extra food between meals.

  “How true to portion size is this feeder? For example I’ve seen some brands that say they’re dispensing ¼ cup but the actual amount is more.”

The portions that I measured were accurate, however other users say that their units dispense a little over the stated portion.

  “Is this automatic feeder for indoor or outdoor use?”

Since the PetSafe Healthy Pet Simply Feed is not waterproof, it is suitable for use in sheltered areas only.

  “Can you use your own bowl, or do you have to use the bowl that comes with the feeder?”

It is possible to use a different bowl, however it may not fit the ring that holds the bowl in place.

  “Will small kibble like Hill Science Diet work with this feeder, or will it cause the inner mechanism to jam?”

Small kibble works well with this feeder.
