I was just wondering if this unit can be programed with multiple settings? My dog is not always home and I would like to have one setting for while my dog is away and one for when he is home. Otherwise the food despenses and my dog is served more than...

I have had this product since May 2013 and I can assure you that it can NOT do what you are asking. You can set it for 1, 2, or 3 meals per day that are set to specific times and for specific amounts of food for each. For doing that, it works great but not for what you are asking. Sorry.

Setting the timer on the feeder is very simple. It is much more like setting a cooking timer than programming a DVR. I'm sure that your petsitter can handle it.

No, this is a single dispensing feeder...however, there is another one with 2 compartments so you can program for 2 feedings. Otherwise, you would need to get the digital feeders that can be programmed for multiple feedings...drawback with those, however, is that portions are not accurate or kibble gets jammed so no food is dispensed �

No, this is not a programmable unit. This model has 3 settings - High, Low and Warm. The settings must be selected manually and the unit will remain on until you turn it off.

So confused about the answer - yes you can set a timer or no you can only use the remote - I have a dog with sep anx and we are trying to work on something that will distract him every 10-15 minutes

I do not know how many on offs you can program in one day. I no longer have that timer. I found it very difficult to program.

I have the Petmate feeder. It's great. You can program up to three meals per day and you can set the feed amounts to 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, full cup and the same intervals up to 2 cups.

I am able to program each zone independently. i have some zones running three days a week and others on 2 days a week. albeit, only one zone can be watered at a time, so stagger your time allotments accordingly.

Yes. You can program up to 4 different times per day & set how long to run. Very easy to use.

One button will let you select either individual dog (just have to be sure to sync the controller to the collar correctly) or you can correct both at the same time. It has indicator lights at the top to show which is activated. Just be sure that when you sync the collars and controller that you have the collars on different channels or they will both activate simultaneously no matter how you set it. The instruction are pretty clear on the syncing.

I think it can be programmed for at least 2 pets. I loved the collar, but my dog got it off somehow and it died before I could find it in the woods

Yes, you can set it on 1-10. We have it set on 7. It's very effective for our 8 month old black lab. He learned very quickly. You must be consistent. There is a 12 hour limit. We only use it when we put him in his outdoor kennel when we are at work. We are very pleased with this purchase. Good battery life. I would recommend.

Yes, you can program it to go on and off several times a day if you like. I use it in larger increments twice a day; but it does allow you to program it in 15 minute increments.

we just got one and noted it does have a timer setting you can use, but we are using the smart alert setting. Pleased with it so far and night get another. Bought ours through Sams club

Yes. That is one thing I like about the collars you can program them to work with both or individually. I have mine set on #1 for one dog and #2 for the other dog. That way I correct the one that is misbehaving .

yes, you can definitely program this to turn on at a specific time and turn off at another time on the same day. e.g. turn light on at 6PM and turn off at 5AM. I use this to turn on/off the lights outside my place and they work great. I am very happy with this product.

No, you don't have to re-program the machine every day. I hope we're talking about the PetSafe 5-tray machine. Because this 2-tray device isn't going to work for you. I have the 5-tray PetSafe product and it's worked very well. (1) Program the current time of day. (2) Program up to 9 different programs (no idea why you'd need that many) In your case, you'd program 4 different set times. Remember, that 1 of the trays is already open, hence no need for a timer. Your 4 programmed times will rotate the remaining 4 hidden trays at the chosen time. So, yes all you have to do is plop some food into the trays each day and you're set. My cat has not managed to open it either, so as far as I'm concerned it's cat proof enough. Good luck.
