How does the ChromeFeeder dispense food?
The ChromeFeeder stores dry food in a reservoir and dispenses an exact number of portions into the stainless steel feeding bowl per programmed meal. You decide how many meals per day and how many portions per meal. This way, your dog or cat always receives the same amount, without you having to be present.
How do you set up the ChromeFeeder via the app?
You connect the feeder via wifi to the app on your smartphone and set the feeding schedule there. In the app, you create meals with a time and portion size, and you can remotely give an extra portion at any time. Handy if you come home later than planned.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fill the reservoir with dry food and close the lid tightly. |
| 2 | Connect the feeder to your wifi network via the app. |
| 3 | Set meals: time + number of portions. |
| 4 | Optionally, record a voice message for each meal. |
| 5 | Test one portion and check if everything dispenses smoothly. |
💡 Tip: Use dry food with a uniform kibble size. Kibble that is too large or greasy can get stuck; round, dry kibble dispenses most smoothly through the dispenser.

View product →Does the food stay fresh in the ChromeFeeder?
Yes, the sealed reservoir keeps the kibble dry, and the stainless steel feeding bowl is hygienic and easy to clean. For extra freshness, you can place a moisture absorber in the reservoir. Clean the bowl regularly to prevent a greasy layer or odor from forming.
Which animals is the ChromeFeeder suitable for?
The ChromeFeeder works for both cats and dogs that eat dry food. It is especially useful for animals that need to eat at fixed times, who require portion control (e.g., for overweight animals), or when you have irregular hours. For wet food, an automatic feeder with cooling elements is needed — the ChromeFeeder is designed for dry food.

FAQ
Does the ChromeFeeder work without wifi?
The basic function (programmed meals) continues to work, but for remote setup and app functions, you need wifi.
Can I use wet food?
No, the ChromeFeeder is made for dry food. Wet food spoils quickly and is not suitable for a dry dispenser.
What if the power goes out?
Many models have battery backup so the schedule continues. Check the included manual for your version.
How many portions can I set per day?
You divide the daily amount over multiple meals, each with its own portion size, ideal for animals that benefit from eating small amounts spread throughout the day.
