Petmate Pet Cafe Gravity Pet Feeder, 6 lbs., Pearlescent

As your pet empties the bowl, this automatic pet feeder lets dry food drop down from the hopper above it. The Petmate Pet Cafe holds 6 lbs. of dry food and comes in a pearlescent finish. Its food container locks into the base, and the wide opening lets you wash the inside by hand.

How the Pet Cafe feeder works day to day

The hopper feeds the bowl by gravity: dry food moves down as the bowl is emptied, so there is no timer or power source involved. Food stays in the storage reservoir between meals rather than sitting open in the bowl.

• The food container locks into the base, which keeps the hopper upright on the floor.
• Easy-grab cutouts let you lift the whole feeder to move it or refill it.
• The wide opening gives your hand room to wash the inside of the container.
• The Pet Cafe is made for car and airline travel as well as use at home.
• The feeder is listed as suitable for pets of all ages.

Several reviewers mention that the food does not dispense easily, while a couple of others describe the feeder as easy to assemble and fill and as holding a good amount of food. Two reviewers note that it stays stable and does not tip over.

The Pet Cafe range comes in three sizes, from 3 to 12 gallons, and this one is the 6 lbs. version in pearlescent. The same range is offered in several pearlescent colours, so the 6 lbs. feeder can be matched to other Petmate items you own.

What customers say

Customers find the pet feeder works well for cats and appreciate that it makes feeding easier, with a capacity that fits about two weeks' worth of food. However, they report significant issues with food getting stuck in the tower and not flowing properly. Moreover, the feeder requires manual shaking to release food, and customers note that food doesn't always drop into the dish as intended.
