Pros and cons
Pros
- Fine portions
- Battery backup
- Stainless bowl
Cons
- 8-cup hopper
- No app
- Small dogs only
Limitations to weigh
- Automatic feeders can jam or lose power; test for a few days before you travel, keep a backup plan, and never leave a dog alone for days with only a feeder.
- Check portions against your dog's feeding guide; 'cups' on feeders are rarely a true 8 oz measuring cup.
