Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
How do I program my PetSafe cat feeder?
You use button controls on the unit to set meal times and portions. Reviewers say the button interface takes ten to twenty minutes to learn and remains unintuitive for many users. There is no dedicated reset function—removing the batteries is the only way to clear settings.
Can I leave my cat alone for 2 days with an automatic feeder?
The Simply Feed holds up to five pounds of dry food and has battery backup that preserves feeding schedules during power outages, so it can support scheduled meals over multiple days. Reviewers note it is best for pet owners who need feeding while away.
What portions can this feeder dispense?
It dispenses accurate portions ranging from one-eighth cup to four cups per meal. A slow-feed mode spreads each meal over fifteen minutes to reduce vomiting in fast eaters.
Why might this feeder frustrate me during setup?
Reviewers are split on setup difficulty, but the most common complaint is that button programming is unintuitive and requires a long manual to understand. The power adapter is sold separately, and the unit requires expensive D-cell batteries for backup operation.
