Why it matters
The 24-cup hopper serves up to 12 meals a day in portions from 1/8 to 4 cups. A Slow Feed option spreads a meal over 15 minutes for fast eaters. Programming is on the unit; there is no app.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Fast eaters

Pros and cons
Pros
- Slow feed
- 24 cups
- Wide portions
Cons
- No app
- Price
- Larger footprint
Limitations to weigh
- Automatic feeders can jam or lose power; test for a few days before you travel, keep a backup plan, and never leave a dog alone for days with only a feeder.
- Check portions against your dog's feeding guide; 'cups' on feeders are rarely a true 8 oz measuring cup.
