Has anyone found a kibble that doesn't jam in this device?

Natural Balance does pretty well, just make sure that it is not from bottom of bag as there are crumbs and they will jam. I think that crumbs cause most jamming

I have had good results using Iams proactive health puppy kibble. I found the 3.3 pound yellow bag. It has only jammed 2-3 times in the last 2 months.�� My adult dog Parker really enjoys it!

We use any type of small bites dog food. These don't get hung up in the door.

I've used a lot if different kibble with the larger dial and haven't had a problem! I'm using Costco's grain free food right now and I've used Blue, Merricks, Halo and a ton of others. Maybe try getting sample bags at your local pet store. Are you pulling the dial off and cleaning under it? Filling with 2 cups of food?

It does not unscrew. It is one piece of molded rubber with a hole in either end. If you want to stuff kibble in it, put it in through the large hole in the bottom, pack a spoonful of peanut butter into the hole to plug it up,then freeze. This will keep them busy for awhile.

We don't use kibble, too easy for our dog to get out..... We use milk bones (about 6 medium)-just stuff them in! Keeps her busy for hours! She loves it!!

Small hard treats work best, they fall out much easier. The softer ones tend to get stuck. I use Grizzyly Nutreats - Wild Salmon Treats from the Healthy Pet Store. Enjoy!

Although I used just dry kibble, I would expect it to work as effectively for canned food. The benefit would still be to slow a quick eater down to reduce the opportunity of bloat for your fur baby. I highly recommend this specially designed bowl.

The size isn't the problem. I think it's too difficult for a puppy to use. If the pup gobbles food better to get the Indipets bowl with a bump in the middle. That worked better for my 10 month old. He was so frustrated with the Kyjen that he just flipped it over.

I'm in the - not sure camp. I have Chihuahua's with various snout/muzzle sizes. It is definitely harder for the shorter muzzle Chi's. Part also depends on food motivation & obliviously a longer tongue does help. BTW, I have the flower bowl. I've also bought the Nina Ottosson dog toys (tornado, the brick & dogmagic) & used them at meal time to slow eating. In some ways I like those better because it makes my dog work for their food.

Peanut butter. Plain yogurt and freeze them - good if crating and want to keep them busy. Kind of messy. Dry dog food could fall out but may cause them to work a bit. A good chew toy with no food in it. This size seems good for a lot of sizes of dogs. Do not want too small. I put in dishwasher.

Aloha..I have never came across this issue since only one cat, kibbles very small. I fill weekly. I purchase from Amazon the Merrick before grain, tuna favor. That's a great question. I have a habit of checking once in awhile, never shake use my finger once in awhile. I trust this container, since my kids never check on my cat, she ran out of food. The water dish she likes small, took the filter out use different type of mineral water. Hope it helps.

I use Iams and it works fine. Maybe since the kibbles and bits is a "damp" food it doesn't flow as well?

This treat pouch can easily hold 2 cups of kibble, though it would be a bit bulgy! I have one and my 7yo daughter has one and we love them!

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.

I think this happens when a piece of kibble jams the dispenser. The motor is pretty weak, so it can jam easily and cause the Err. The only solution I found was to remove the batteries to reset the unit. Sometimes you need to clear the jamming kibble too. I've had three of these units and they have all eventually started giving this error message. One of the units stayed doing it after only a few weeks. After fighting with these unreliable feeders for several years, I finally spent the money for a better unit.. The one with the external timer and large diamond hopper on top. These units just don't work very well or last. I think this happens when a piece of kibble jams the dispenser. The motor is pretty weak, so it can jam easily and cause the Err.

I found that my pets food would jam in the shoot, so check the food shoot to see if it's jammed! Check batteries!

Yes, the kibble size is small. I think it would be fine for a small breed dog. It's about 3/8 of an inch in size.

Sounds like you may be having an issue with the rolling dispenser. We've had ours for about two years now and it's always worked great. Maybe, if you're using a battery, it's running down. We got a power cord for ours so you may want to try that. Also maybe try smaller or more roundish kibble, if that's possible.

No, the kibble is very small. Looks a little smaller than Science Diet kibble.
