Operating Instructions

The PetSafe Healthy Pet Gravity Food Station operates on a simple gravity-fed mechanism. As your pet consumes food from the stainless steel bowl, more food automatically dispenses from the hopper to refill the bowl, ensuring a continuous supply.

  • Continuous Feeding: The gravity design ensures that food is always available for your pet.
  • Monitoring Food Levels: The transparent hopper allows you to easily monitor the food level and refill as needed.
