Question 1

I’ve seen complaints about WiFi dropping out—will I still be able to feed my cat if the internet goes down?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, the feeder has a manual feed button on the unit itself, so you can dispense food even when offline. Many users have noted that the 2.4G WiFi connection can be finicky, but the basic timer schedule (set via the app initially) continues to run as programmed if the connection drops temporarily. For consistent remote access, make sure your home WiFi signal is strong near the feeder.

Question 2

Is the stainless steel bowl large enough for a medium-sized dog, and can it go in the dishwasher?**

Accepted Answer

The bowl holds about 2 cups of food, which works well for cats and small dogs. For larger breeds, several TikTok reviewers found it too small and prone to tipping. The stainless steel bowl itself is dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended), but the plastic base should be hand-washed. We suggest measuring your pet’s portion size before buying.

Question 3

What type of kibble works best without jamming in the dispenser?**

Accepted Answer

The feeder handles standard dry kibble up to about 12mm in diameter. Users with larger or oddly shaped pieces (e.g., dental kibble or freeze-dried chunks) have reported occasional jams. If you feed a non-standard kibble, we recommend testing a few cycles first, or choosing a model with a wider auger.

Question 4

How is the after-sales support if something breaks?**

Accepted Answer

Customer support responses have been mixed in reviews. The feeder includes a standard 1-year warranty, but some users reported slow email replies. For faster help, we suggest reaching out via the brand’s social media channels. A few buyers found that posting on the company’s Facebook page got a quicker response than email.

Question 5

I don’t want to use the app. Can I just set it up as a simple timer feeder?**

Accepted Answer

Yes—after an initial app setup to schedule your meals, you can put the phone away. The feeder will follow the saved schedule without needing the app running. However, note that future schedule changes do require the app. For a completely app-free experience, you might prefer a fully mechanical timer feeder instead.
