I certainly hope this will not encourage a pet owner to leave a pet alone for eight days ! Surely no one would. Hopefully, this is just to make the actual,"Pet Sitters" job a little easier. Frees them up, to give the pet lots of loving, I hope.

Pros: dog won't go hungry

Cons: dogs need human interaction

great if you are going to be to busy to feed your animal

Pros: great

Cons: nothing

I had a girl checking on my cats but used one of these to help make it easier. She never check their food (she thought it was automatic and why bother). Just so you know my cats didn't starve they also had a feeder full of dry food.

Pros: If it worked it would be great

Cons: It didn't work for me

the dog-sitter doesnt have to worry about forgetting to feed poor fido. you can dole out portions for each day and dont have to worry about over feeding or under feeding by the sitter.

Pros: dogs wont forget to be fed

Cons: gone more then 8 days

I use this for my cats and it works great when they are on meds.

Pros: easy to use

Cons: none
