Too slow with the item shipping & taking almost 2 weeks to get item. Just not good service.

I purchased an automatic Cat feeder in 2020. Two years later it stopped working and they kindly sent a replacement as I'd registered it to get the three year warranty. Since then, two years later, the new one has stopped working. I messaged the company to explain the situation but as the warranty has expired they will not help. It's disappointing the item only lasts two years. I have tried changing the batteries, this didn't work and I have tried using the 'adj and up arrow' to realign it and this has not worked. I was upset as my Cat has Hyperthyroidism and has lost a substantial amount of weight. He needs to be fed often and whilst we are out we rely on the automatic feeder. We came home from being out all day and found the machine had turned and stopped part way and therefore my Cat wasn't fed the entire day. It is very upsetting to have found this especially with my Cats health condition. The fact this happened shows you cannot rely on this machine whilst you're away from home. The company despite knowing this have refused to help in anyway. Regardless of not being under warranty it is disappointing they've shown no care regarding our Cat not being fed at all whilst we were out. A company centered around Pets should understand how upsetting this is for us.

Good Afternoon Many thanks for your review and we are sorry that you feel this way. We have a very small percentage of issues with this product so we are confident in giving a 3 year guarantee from initial point of purchase and unfortunately the feeder was over 1 year outside the warranty period. We can offer discount off a new product if you wish to purchase one. Kind Regards Closer Pets

The filter element is poorly made. When you try to rinse it under a water faucet as required prior to use, it completely falls apart.

Good afternoon Steven, I'm sorry to hear that you have experienced issues with your filter cartridge. This is very unusual and so we believe it may be that the filter is damaged. If you could please email our customer service team on [email protected] with your name and address details, we will arrange a replacement to be sent out to you. Best wishes, Aimee

I received a prompt response to an emailed question about a problem I have with their product, but it didn’t address the question. Also, tracking information indicates that the item I ordered has not yet been shipped…five days after I received an email saying that it had been and two days after I would have received it if it had been. Overall I would say their communication style is like a quick puff of hot air.

It has been nine days since my order was confirmed, and it is apparently still sitting in Avenel, New Jersey -- which is a long way from San Marcos, Texas. I'm sure the product is fine, but the shipping time is too slow. The cat door I ordered is actually a replacement for an existing door, and I needed it right away.

Hi Dan, We apologise for the delay in shipping, once your order has been confirmed and has left our facility, unfortunately we don't have control over it. I understand the team has been in touch, and are sending a replacement product out to you. If you have any further issues please don't hesitate to get in touch at [email protected]. Best wishes, Tasia-Lea.
