Now, thanks to incredible new technology, automatic pet feeders make it possible for your pet to eat on his or her normal schedule, without you having to rush home to make it back on time.Īutomatic pet feeders are able to dispense both dry and wet dog or cat food at timed intervals. My Kitsune is just exceptionally obsessed with food, and not every pet product is going to be ideal for every pet family.It can be tough to ensure you’ll be home at your pet’s exact meal times each and every day. It’s well designed with some really cool features, and functionally we didn’t have any issues with it. The issues we had were 100% Kitsune being Kitsune! The WOpet Boost Automatic Cat & Dog feeder is a really sleek product. I wanted to be honest about our experience, without making it sound like we had an issue with this pet feeder itself. I hope no one takes this as a negative review. They also sell other interesting products, like a treat dispensing pet camera and a really nice looking pet water fountain. WOpet has a handful of other automatic feeders too if you’re interested in one but not completely sold on the Boost.Ī few of their models even work with an app over Wifi which I thought was really cool. For example, if someone had a cat and a dog, I think this product would be awesome for a cat if you could keep it up on a table maybe where the cat could get to it but the dog couldn’t. I didn’t think of this when I agreed to review this product, but perhaps automatic pet feeders would be more ideal for single pet families? Or for people who can more easily separate their pets. If anyone has any ideas please let me know! I’ve been trying to think of a way to keep the feeder so that Fenrir can get to it but Kitsune can’t, but so far I haven’t come up with much. I do wonder, though, if maybe it would work better with dogs that are a bit smaller than mine are, less food motivated than my Kitsune is, or cats. None of this is the feeder’s fault, of course! ![]() However, when I had the automatic feeder out on the floor Kit figured out almost instantly that there was food in the hopper, and then spent all his time trying to knock it over so he could eat all the food inside. Once Kit discovered there was food involved Fen never had even the hope of a chance of beating Kit to the food! That issue, on it’s own, wouldn’t be the end of the world – I could just use the feeder to feed Kit instead of Fen. He figured out, long before Fen, that the Boost dispenses food. And by that I mean…he just wants to eat everything all the time. Kitsune! Kit is, to put it nicely, a foodie. I thought this feeder would be great for him! Instead of trying to convince him to eat two larger meals a day like I’ve been doing, I could schedule the automatic feeder to dispense 4 smaller meals broken up throughout the day. He’s a SUPER picky eater and doesn’t like to eat a lot at once. He’s always been difficult when it comes to meal times. When WOpet asked us to check it out I immediately thought of my Fenrir. So down to the nitty-gritty, do we actually like the feeder? ![]() The instructions say not to immerse the parts in water, however the lower food bowl and upper hopper both separate from the main section of the feeder so they can be cleaned independently. The Boost feeder is, thankfully, easy to clean. I feel like this might help bring comfort to a pet who’s missing his/her owner, and help them feel more comfortable eating. One feature this feeder has that I thought was really cool is the ability to record a personalized message! The unit plays your message when it dispenses a meal. This is what 1 portion of my Fenrir’s food looks like.
