What type of foods can I feed with the Ani Mate Automatic Feeders?
All of our pet feeders are suitable for use will all cat and small dog dry foods. The Cat Mate C10, C20 and C50 models are suitable for all type of food -  the C20 and C50 are supplied with ice packs to help keep the food fresh.
Will my pet be able to interfere with the feeder and get to the food before the programmed meal time?
All feeders are designed to be as secure and tamper-proof as possible and will dispense/serve food only when the timer allows. In addition, for overly vigorous cats and small dogs, all feeders can be easily fastened to a wooden board for extra stability.
Are the feeders just for when I am out for the day or weekend?
At Ani Mate we use the 'small and often' principal, our automatic feeders can be invaluable items for many different occasions. These could include pets that require regular meals for medical reasons, when a medication/food mix has to be served at a set time, or for very young kittens and puppies. Specifically, the Cat Mate C3000 & Dog Mate D3000 Dry Food Feeders have been developed with your pet's wellbeing in mind - accurately dispensing your pet's daily dry food allowance in order to minimize the health risks and costs of overfeeding. For pets with specific dietary requirements (e.g. diabetes) the C3000 & D3000 may be set to 'frequent feed' mode, which will dispense a programmed meal at regular intervals over a longer period of time, as detailed above
Do Ani Mate Automatic Feeders come with any guarantee?
As with all Ani Mate products, all automatic pet feeder models are manufactured to exacting standards, using the best quality materials and come with Ani Mate's renowned 3 year guarantee.
