I want to use two of these for two dogs and need to know if the clock is accurate in keeping time so that they will dispense food at the same time?

So far I have not had any problems with the timing of the meals. They spit out almost exactly at the time that is set.

The clocks are as accurate as you set them to be, but read my review on this product. There has got to be a better product out there.

Hi Carter N..the clock is very accurate...the Bistro works perfect. I'm very happy i purchased it. as a,matter of fact this is my second one. the first one i broke it by washing it and allowing water to get in it and still worked but would dispense food at crazy hours. it's very reliable and lasts for years....Good luck with a good product...

It is adjustable as to how much it feeds daily each time. So the answer would be how much you feed your pet a day. My problem was it was not reliable, so if you are counting on this feeding your pets be sure you or someone is around to make sure they are being fed daily. Neither one of mine were reliable. I honestly would not feel comfortable relying on this to feed my pets. One I don't use at all anymore and the other one my husband took apart and turned it into a free feeder works with just gravity flow and maybe a shake now and then.

My clock has been very accurate since I bought it. I replaced one I had had for 10 years that also was accurate. I'm on the ICW at Morehead City so we see tidal changes as well.

We had it depensing just a few pieces of food until we had it set up correctly. You can adjust the amount of food using the timer and the food adjuster. I would highly recommend getting the digital timer if you are trying to dispense only 1/8 cup. It takes a little bit to get it where you want it to be but we love this feeder.

Don't know for sure, for doubtful. (Don't think these units are that sophisticated.) Suggestion - buy an inexpensive digital kitchen from Amazon or William-Sonoma, or better yet, use the Timer on a digital wrist watch, you'll never overcook anything. Good luck!

I have a beagle who is very smart and was a rescue. One day I set the timer wrong and when I got home I found that he tried, I could tell to get the food out, but it is very difficult to make these sections move. I can't say that it's impossible, but if my beagle could not get to his food and he loves food, I would say it's a pretty sure shot that a corgi wouldn't.

It will work . This is a very good time clock for a busy restaurant. The servers punch in and out several times a day. Only issue is if they forget a punch.

Yes, you set the times and how often per day they are fed. It attaches to the side of the top of tank.

The answer to this question is based on personal preference. I have two dehydrators and one has an on/off switch the other does not. I find it makes no difference because I unplug both anyway. Neither one of my dyhydrators has a timer. Again a timer is also personal preference. I am fine with no timer since my dog acts as the timer and seems to know when his treats are done.

Seeing the same behavior as well. Tried removing batteries and keeping it off and unplugged for a few days, but when I plug it back in, reset the clock and the schedule, it started dumping all the food at once again. Seems to be a design flaw.

yes. I have 2 dogs and they are both out together all the time with no issues.

My timer keeps accurate time. Most plug-in clocks run in sync with city power which is well regulated for frequency.

This is a 2-meal feeder only. I set if for morning and evening for my dog. And yes, you have to reset it after you refill it. It works great. But there are also 5 day feeders, which would probably work better for you.

If you have two with the same number ID, they work on the same frequency. I ended up w/ 2 like that by accident so that when one barked (or was doing whatever they shouldn't be doing) beeping or spraying beeped & sprayed them both. If you want separate (or the same in your case) frequency collars, go to the PetSafe website and send them an e-mail. Customer service will work with you to get what you want. In my case, they're sending a replacement collar with a different ID number so one doggie won't get beeped/sprayed for the other's transgressions. All they need is proof of purchase within the past year --- the length of time for the warranty. If you have two with the same number ID, they work on the same frequency.

Checked my timer. Probably 45 minutes is the shortest time. There is one tab that turns the timer on and another to turn it off. Looks like the two won't fit closer than 45 minutes apart.

I've had the clock for a few weeks and it works just fine. I set it with the time on my I-phone and they are still showing the same time.

You'd either need four of these or two of the double sided ones. Given the right number of dispensers, yes it would work for your needs. You could set them at 9 pm the previous night you'd set one for 9 hours (6 am), one for 13 hours (10 am), one for 17 hours (2 pm), and one for 21 hours (6 pm). Mine generally opens within a 15 minute window of the number of hours I set it for (15 before or 15 after). That's just a product of the way the timer is designed. It's no biggie in my household.
