I would like to get a mat to place under because my dog splashes. How long is this feeder, and is there one you would recommend?

Kelly, It is a little over 29 inches long. I don't have a mat under the feeder because we don't have the splashing problem, so unfortunately I don't have a good recommendation.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

I'm near Seattle--also rainy. Feeder has a "screen" bottom, so there is no water accumulation. Very nice feeder and it's very tough.

Had mine hanging from a shepherds hook and it did leak, even when it wasn't windy. I have another Perky Pet Feeder that I've never had a problem with. This one had such great reviews that I thought maybe I just received a defective one.

I've had it for over a year. I live in Arlington, TX. I bought a 24"x24" concrete pad from Lowe's and leveled it on the ground with a sand bed. The feeder sits level and has never fallen over. It's a great feeder and the squirels cannot climb it.

That's a tough one, I put a slightly smaller bath mat under mine. That seems to help. You can also try a little Vicks pups don't like the smell of it. Hope it helps.

Mine is just sitting on the porch. My dogs have never turned it over. The only thing I have done for mine is my oldest dog was having problems bending down to eat. I went to a metal fabrication shop and had them build me a stand to put the feeder in to raise the height up. I would worry about putting holes in it that rain might get the food damp. If you cover it though it should be fine.

It is about 12 inches, but I think it would be a little high for a dog feeder. I have a large collie and I know she would not eat out of it. If you have a really tall dog, it would be elevated.

I have not filled mine up. i have three greyhounds and they don't knock it over. They fill at the top of the leg and you can punch a hole in it where it fits into the tray part. I keep mine on a rug so the water doesn't get all over my floor. One dog eats out of one of the bowls and the water bowl is the second bowl. Mine is not the one that is pictured on my email. This one doesn't look like the legs are removable. Mine has removable legs and its the big one. I think the bowls hold nearly a couple quarts of water. i love it and its really sturdy. I hope i have helped you.

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

Try looking up the Kyjen website for a video or direct help. I'd suggest the spiral bowl to make it easier for you to add the food (or clean up!) and still challenge your pup.

Not much help for you. I bought the one that's two plastic trays hung by wire to each other. The birds didn't like dodging wire when landing and I didn't like wearing meal worms if it tilted. I'm going to try open bowls next.

I wish I had a clear answer for you but I just believe that as convenient the feeder should/could be it's just not that well designed. I would suggest asking the manufacturer or sending it back and getting a new one or a refund.

Place door of enclosure between 2 legs of trampoline so that there isn't any tubing along ground below the door. See Page 18 of directions. Our mat is rather sluggish and doesn't give a big bounce. Hope it doesn't get worse over time....

I suggest you hang at least a 16" diameter baffle above this feeder. There are some baffles sold which are plexiglass and somewhat dome-shaped, and those work the best, I think. This won't solve the problem of rain coming in sideways, but these feeders definitely need some shelter from the rain. Whenever it rains, I have to go out later on and shift the wet seed out, before it begins to get moldy. A good plexiglass baffle costs about $22 + S&H;, a metal one costs more---around $32 and up, on Amazon.

Yes, it would be way too small. Check out the Neater Feeder. They come in medium and large sizes - more suitable for your dog, I believe.
