This automatic pet feeder has a removable tray with five sections that each hold one cup (237ml) of dry or semi-moist food. You can schedule 1-5 meals per day for your cat or dog using the digital clock. You are able to select the time your pet is fed down to the minute. Once the schedule is set, your pet's meals will automatically be served at the same time each day. When you fill the feeder, one meal will be available and ready for your pet to eat. When it's time for the next meal, the tray will rotate so your pet can access their food. If your dog tends to eat his food too quickly, or if you want to help manage your pet's weight, use this feeder to schedule smaller meal portions to keep your pet healthy. When the feeder needs cleaning, place the removable tray in the top rack of the dishwasher for easy clean-up.
