This larger feeder is great for when you can't be there to feed your pet. I used it when I was working late & had a multi-cat household. I no longer need it. * Simple, programmable electronics prompt the feeder to dispense portion controlled meals to pets while the parent is away * Clear container that helps you monitor how much food is in the feeder. * Large LCD screen & built in meal counter * 3 simple buttons for easy programming that takes you through the process. * You set up 3 meals within 24 hours. * This 10 lbs feeder can be set from ¼ cup to 3 cups * Feeder unit is transparent & holds 30 cups of food which accommodates a full range of dry food sizes, shapes, & types * The bowl is removable for easy cleaning (Note: the instructions say it's dishwasher safe but I never tried it) * You'll need 3 'D' batteries Here's a helpful YouTube video on how this feeder works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyqoYPUF7dk.
