The 5 Meal Pet Feeder serves up to 5 meals or snacks per day at just the right time for your cat or dog. One meal is ready-to-eat as soon as you fill the tray with your pet's food, and you can schedule the other 4 meals to be served at a later time. Setting up mealtimes is quick and easy. Once you set the schedule, the feeder will feed your pet at the same time every day, so you dont have to set a new schedule daily. When it's time for your pet's next meal, the tray will automatically rotate to the next section. When it's cleaning time, simply remove the tray and place it in the dishwasher.
