Hello everyone! My 2 new C20 Petsafe feeders just arrived today. I think they'll work great for Tucker and Sophie.
HOWEVER..... does anyone know where I can get the ICE PACKS that fit in the bottom? Everywhere I check, they're out of stock. I'd like to get a total of 4. Thanks...
 
Re: Ice Packs for PetSafe C20 feeder??

Do you mean the Catmate C20 feeder? PetSafe doesn't have a C20 feeder.

Try reusable ice packs that are meant for lunch boxes and the like. Some are gel-filled which can be smsuhed under the tray to keep the food cool. Rubbermaid has a gel sheet that can be cut to size. Rubbermaid has a few other types. You may be able to find a small hard plastic ice pack to use as well.
 
I never used an ice pack with my PetSafe 2 compartment feeder. There is room in the bottom of the feeder to put an ice pack if you want, you'd just have to find one that will fit. What some people do is freeze the canned food into small cubes, like with a silicone ice cube tray, and put the frozen cubes into the feeder. The food will slowly defrost at room temperature.

Personally, I didn't like the PetSafe 2 compartment feeder. The timer can only be set in approximate 2 hour increments, it makes an annoying loud ticking noise that doesn't stop until you take the impossible to remove batteries out, and my cat was able to pry the lids off to get to the food and even flip the entire feeder upside down :shock:
 
I use a different feeder that has an ice pack compartment, but I always found it way easier just to freeze the food and stick it in the feeder. Unless you want to feed the cat with the auto feeder within 2-3 hours or so, the frozen food works great. I portion it in tiny snack sized ziploc baggies and freeze a bunch ahead of time.

Even when I am setting the feeder to go off within 2 or 3 hours, I prefer to toss an ice cube in with the food rather than the cold packs because I'm lazy and hate taking the feeder apart to insert the ice packs. :smile:
 
I normally put ice cubes in with the canned food to keep it moist, plus I use frozen ice-cubed raw (with more ice-cubes).

I found my petsafe 2 would leak if I put ice cubes under the trays and I could NEVER find any ice packs to FIT it- all too big, tall, wide for it- no matter the size, something didn't fit.
