How does the food come out so the dogs get fed?

The door at the front of the feeder will open with a slight touch. My dog uses her nose to push it back so she can eat or you can also wire it or adjust it so that it will stay open and as long as there is food in it the dog will be able to feed as it will shift downward.

they push their head against the dark colored door in order to get to the food inside.

You pour the feed in the top, the food funnels down to the bottom. The door at the front the dog uses to get to the food is like a flap-hindged at the top. As the dog eats the food at the bottom more gradually comes down.To get the dog started on the feeder,press the door open and push the feed forward so the door is held open by the feed. They get the hang of it real fast

Pour it in the top. It has a plastic guide inside that holds the food until some is eaten, then more falls down. It works well. The only thing I do that others may not is take off the door. My dogs don't want to push the door for some reason.

There's a little door thing you close over first hole when you start it that gets pushed back open when it turns to the first feeding. All six can be for later

No prep, just break up with hands & serve. My boyfriend adds a lil water when he feeds the dogs, but I don't. My picky yorkie, loves the chicken & beef.

On their website it says you should slowly introduce it to their diet. It suggests mixing in a small amount with their kibble for one or two days and then replacing one of their feedings with the honest kitchen food and eventually both feedings with honest kitchen. I'll be honest with you I did not even think about it when we did the switch and we went cold turkey from kibble to honest kitchen. I noticed two things when I did the switch first the dogs absolutely loved the new dog food but the second issue was that they were pooping more frequently because of the drastic shift in their diet. It's evened out now and everything is fine but I would recommend slowly introducing it. On their website it says you should slowly introduce it to their diet.

I think you have gotten it wet. Mine does the same thing when it gets wet. The food goes to the very back with one piece in the middle to lure the critter in

It sounds like your kibble is too big. There are 4 little rubbery prongs inside each half at the dispensing hole. You can trim them so that the larger kibble comes out more easily.

They can steal some food off the "ramp" leading to the bowl which didn't slide down, but they can't turn the paddle wheel to get more food. There is a protective flap. So they are just stealing a little food that would normally come out at the next feeding. I had to tape my bowl to the unit though so they wouldn't remove the bowl!

When you set it up, you can see there is a roller that delivers the food. They cannot get to the food, However if you do not get the lid on top secure, they CAN knock the lid off.........

There is an opening on the top with hooks, You can barely see the hooks in the picture of the feeder. Unhook the plate and it swings out of the way for filling. I have seen my cardinals use this feeder.

Depends. Maybe if dogs are small and if they can share food. Only 1-10 treats at a time are dispensed and the feeding dish area is small

There is a twist cap on the bottom. Its really easy to fill. I've seen that the main issue with this toy is that treats do not come out well and my dog looses interest.

There are little "bowls" on the base that are a bit deeper than where the tubes connect to the base. If you were trying to put a lot of food in there to avoid feeding the cats daily or you had a lot of cats I can see it being a problem if one of the tubes came off, but in my experience with my two even without the tubes it's the right amount of space for a days worth of food. At first I would remove the tubes to refill, and fill flush with the lip of these "bowls". Now though I refill with the tubes attached. They just slide into the base, but they seem to be pretty secure as far as the cats are concerned, though the dogs have gotten them loose. I can't speak to the other one on Amazon.

There is an opening at the top of the bowl. No problem at all to feed the fish.

It's a powder you can sprinkle onto the food. I leave food out for my dogs all the time so I mix it into yogurt that way I know they get the full amount.

Actually..... I just filled mine up. :) I was able to put a whole cup of dog food in mine. You could try to put more, but it has to fit in the little twist off part on the bottom. If you try to pour it in the other way it just runs out the treat holes.

We keep one outside with fish food. It's under and awning so it doesn't usually get direct rain but it certainly gets wet. The food stays perfectly dry. It has been out for years without issue. We used a small carabiner through the locking hole at the top to prevent small animals from getting inside.

Yes, there is an clear top that goes on top and a little hole that you can feed them through.
