4. Open the Hopper lid on the Treat Dispenser to size the

treats/kibble before ﬁlling. This Treat Dispenser requires dry treats or kibble that can ﬁt through the dispenser. Round or oval kibble of uniform size and shape work best, 1/2" size or smaller. The treat/kibble size indicator is located inside the Hopper lid (2C).

For dry treats/kibble up to 1/2" size or

smaller only.

5. Remove the Hopper by pressing the Hopper button. Locate

the ramp in the treat compartment. Move the ramp to correspond to the measured treat size. If

2D 2E

the kibble ﬁts into the cup labeled 1, the ramp needs to be in the lower position (2D). In this position you should be able to see the upper setting hole.

height have been determined, ﬁll the Hopper to the ﬁll line (2F) and close the hopper lid.
