Feeder Portion Guide
A device setting and a dietary target are different quantities. Establish both before programming the schedule.
Record the inputs
| Input | Record |
|---|---|
| Feeding plan | Amount and units given by your veterinarian or appropriate food guidance |
| Food | Exact product and relevant label information |
| Device | Model and manual definition of one setting |
| Observed output | Repeated measured amounts with this food |
| Schedule | The authorised daily plan and the device settings |
Avoid false precision
Repeated measurements can reveal variation; a single dispense is not a guarantee. Grams and calories cannot be interchanged without the specific food’s energy information. If the available settings do not match a prescribed amount, do not call the shortfall close enough—ask for an appropriate feeding setup.
Before relying on it
- Follow the manual’s setup and testing process.
- Record actual dispenses and any missed or inconsistent output.
- Confirm that the intended cat accesses and eats the food.
- Keep a human monitoring and backup plan.
Compare timed feeders by documented adjustments and compatibility, not a generic grams-per-portion claim.
