how does it keep the dog from lifting it up and turning it over in a dump all over the floor? My lab has learned to do this with other feeders.

I do not know. I am selling mine at the garage sale for $5. It is to big for my tiny dogs.

My girl is also very smart like that, but the feeder is heavy enough, and "sticks" to the floor (i fed her on tile) very well. She pawed at it, but it stayed the right way around. Plus, I sat with her when she was fed and kept it stable the first few times and she got the hang of it, and rather enjoyed it :)

I have a yellow Lab and the opening is barely large enough for her. Feeder is also very low to the ground. We will be putting it up on concrete blocks to make it a better height. This company makes a larger feeder that holds 50 lbs. that might work better for your dogs.

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.

We just keep it rolling until the food is gone. We have not had a problem. My friend got one the same one, and that she had to set daily. It was not feeding automatically. She returned it and got one from a local store due to lack of time for an upcoming trip, and it works without having to reset. The one requiring resetting was a dud.

I bought this product over a year ago. I guess if you have a clever dog that really wants the food, they could probably get it taken apart. I bought this for my lazy overweight cat and it works great. He hasn't shown any signs of wanting to take it apart. The feeder is actually pretty sturdy and bottom heavy, so not easily knocked around.

Reportedly, you can rewire the WonderBowl so as "to reverse the operation so the bowl stays open all the time and closes when it senses the collar." See "Wonderbowl Selective Pet Feeder Home Modification" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP1LVXQDaqk

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.

My lab is the same way. This kong holds food treats and makes a squeak when Dudley tosses it. It is very sturdy and it takes about 8 months for Duds to split the rubber. Duds is 6 and I think this one may be his 4th. It is a bargain and it is my dog's favorite toy/food dispenser. Very few toys hold up this well!

Great question. Unfortunately, no solution. Personally I would be more concerned on your dogs stool being soft as opposed to solid. Then again I'm no expert. Hope that helps.

Depending how close to the edge they push Down on. If our dog steps on the edge it will dump. Unless it flips all the way over water stays in on edge

The snoozer stays up because it is supported by a hoop. The back part flops down like a pouch. If my pups sit on it I fluff it up for them and it pops right back into shape. If you see my video review you can see it. I think for small burrowing or digging breeds love this. Occasionally they lay on top of it but mostly love snuggling inside together. my opinion - If you have a large dog I.e. labrador you will definetly need a bigger snoozer.

Hello Kris, there is the sensor eye area in the front so if the sensor detects an object about 4 inches from it, the lid will open. Thus, if you dog is tall enough to get inside then your dog will get into the garbage. There is a power switch on the back of the lid cover that you can turn off so your dog doesn't activate the sensor.

The feeder has a simple triangle hook at the top. It slips over a j-hook easily. I have mine hooked on a d-ring like the use for mountain climbing on the end of a rope with a pully so I can get it high off the ground and away from the deer.

i found this is also pretty loud, but i solved the problem by covering it with an old knitted toy he had opened up. you could probably achieve the same solution with a large sock or heavy stocking and just cut the hole out for the food to escape. then all you can hear is the kibble shaking around, not bad at all. i found it also helps him to pick it up when it rolls under the bed or in a corner and carry it back to his preferred rolling spots.

It can be flipped up, for easy cleaning etc., but if you don't want it it would be cheaper to just buy a feeder without it.

Probably. I firmly believe in NOT putting the feeding dish on the floor but raising it to the dog's chest level. My dog us a large breed dog so all I can suggest to you is buy one, try it and if it is not right for your dog, return it.

It depends on the dog. I don't store food in the bottom of it so I put a brick in there to keep my dogs from moving it around. I use them when I travel as well. The top will not fall down if you turn the top around so it sits on the riser posts correctly.
