How the System Works

With its stylish and advanced design, the Healthy Pet Simply Feed^™ gives you peace of mind knowing your pet is fed the right portion at the right time whether you are home or away---all while complementing your home décor. Using an innovative conveyor, the Healthy Pet Simply Feed^™ consistently controls the food dispensed for your pet, per the portion and schedule you set. Setup is quick with the dog or cat feeding schedules, with preset meal portions dispensed twice a day. The user option allows you to customize your feeding schedule for up to 12 meals each day, giving you the best way to manage your pet's feeding routine. This is especially useful if specialized, smaller portions are required more frequently each day. Fewer refills are needed with the 24-cup capacity hopper, which is translucent for monitoring the food level. Additionally, the unique Slow Feed option is a perfect solution to help with a pet that gulps or eats too fast by slowly dispensing each meal. A scheduled meal can easily be dispensed at the touch of a button with the Immediate Feed option. The Pause Feed option temporarily stops the feeder from dispensing food until pause is removed. This is useful if you want to skip a meal or if going away with your pet for a few days. Programming is easy using the LCD screen and 5-Button Navigation. Ideally, through collaboration with your veterinarian on portions and feeding frequency, the Healthy Pet Simply Feed^™ aids you with your pet's proper weight management by providing a consistent, portion-controlled feeding routine for a healthier, happier pet!
