Is this a sturdy product? i'm worried that my dog will knock it over and that will be the end of it

It's pretty flimsy. Food tends to just randomly fall out as it is since the dispenser and food bowl aren't flush with each other. It's a disappointing product in my opinion.

It is a sturdy product. especially if you put dry food inside the product, it's pretty heavy. nice product but my dog scared to use it.

Extremely light weight plastic. I was very disturbed at the flimsiness of the product based on the price. I returned it because the fins that disperse the food are also so flimsy that our cat figured out in a week that he could stick his paw in the shoot and get as much food as he wanted, no point in timed feeding. Any animal could knock it over, but the cover is a screw on so it wouldn't all pour out. Cant tell you how the food shoot would react on its side.

I WOULD not recommend it for a dog. .. We use it with our cat and she has knocked it over once. We had to change the location to prevent her from doing it again.

My cats don't have problem with it. Our youngest cat found out to stick his paw up the shoot and now the other is doing it. I have ours placed on a shelf, In a corner location. They haven't knocked it off yet. If you have a dog who is mischievous or curious this might be a problem. Our cats hear the food being dispensed they stop whatever they're doing and run to eat. I have it set up for two times a day morning and afternoon. I would buy it again. The batteries last 6-9 months.

It's pretty sturdy as long as its not pulled out all the way. Although it is pretty light weight so a pet could probably just push it out of the way. It comes with screws to bolt on the wall so you might want to use those or put a chair in front of it.

No. I got mine just a week ago and with a shih tzu using it, it is already showing signs of use and becoming flat. Not sturdy at all.

It's very sturdy. If your dog/dogs can fit in it, it will hold them. I put my two 15lbs Cavalier King Charles Spaniels together in it, and it worked wonderfully.

This isn't attached to a wall or floor, so if you have a determined jumper, they will probably be able to get over it. Overall, it's very sturdy, though. I have a 60 lb basset hound that tried once or twice to push it over or go around but he gave up and hasn't tried since. We've had it almost a year with no issues. We use it on carpet. Might move or slide more on smooth floors.

No danger of a cat knocking it over, it has a slight a wobble to it, but it is very sturdy. My fat cat climbs all over it, and there has never been a time when it looked even slightly like it might tip over. The base is very heavy and big enough to support the weight of the tree and an active cat.

I would not as it is like unfinished wood. It is very light weight...also if dogs jump and push ,it will move. Only good for already trained dogs

It is very sturdy. It might be a little top heavy, but I don't think a cat can push it over. BTW my ratties love it.

I would think it is sturdy enough for the cats. Its a little top heavy so maybe add a couple of posts along the side so dogs wont tip it over. I like it overall.

I think it's pretty sturdy. My 50 lb dog sat in one for like it was her bed.. .but I wouldn't stand on it or anything. I just have sheets in mine right now.

It is quite sturdy. As stated in my review a couple of my cats will run and jump on it and jump off. I have several cats and have only seen it knocked over once. That was due to rough playing. Normal scratching should not be an issue. It is on the heavy side as well.

It is very sturdy - I would expect it to last for some time (until the user gets to 75 lbs). There is a maintenance procedure which should extend the life of this product.

I definitely think it will last you a few years. My jack russells managed to jump over it easily at 6 months old so if your dog is a jumper, you might want to reconsider

I'm sure held in a fat lab pup but it's not heavy on the base so she used to tip it over as she became heavier at 12-14 lbs. if u can secure the base to the ground it should be fine

Not very sturdy. It is stable, but I thought that if something heavy (like my son's backpack) dropped on it, then it would break. I bought a bamboo shoe rack and put this in my son's closet where it was less likely that he or the dog would crash into it and break it. It is a very good price.

It is very sturdy, but you may not be able to fit a 25 lbs dog in it. It should be able to hold a 15 lbs dog.
