TIPS
The feeder seems to work better with small round or flat kibble as it allows the food to flow better down to the bowl. Very small round or flat kibble make the gravity system work better.
CONCLUSION
Aspen Le Bistro Gravity Pet Feeder is an option to free feed cats for a good price. Gravity feeders help you from having to pour food into the bowls every day which could be annoying to cat owners.
This particular size is special to feed small pets; the unit is smaller than what it looks in the picture. The bowl is narrow as well.
This gravity feeder, as commonly occurs with all of its types, needs to be shaken a little to keep the gravity system working. The food not dropping continuously happens more often with irregularly shaped kibble, such as stars, flowers, triangles, etc., and big kibbles (bigger than 1/4” dia).
For all these reasons and Pros and Cons;
√ I recommend Aspen Le Bistro Gravity Feeder:
- To be used for one cat that does not need control food intake
- Used with very small round or flat kibble
- If you are willing to shake the unit once in a while to keep the gravity system working
x I don’t recommend it:
- For more than one cat
- Used with irregularly shaped kibble (stars, flowers, etc.) or big kibble
- For cats that need to control their food intake
- If you don’t want to check on the feeder to keep the gravity system working
