Question: Is their an automatic pet feeder that is secure enough for a crazy smart dog?

My dog loves food, like most dogs. Except sometimes I think he is super dog when it comes to his love for food. We've resorted to making sure there's no food on the counters and everything is at least on the upper shelves or on top of the refrigerator. He's eaten a whole pizza in minutes. half a pineapple ( i guess he didn't like it), a whole bag of apples and whole loaves of bread. In our house if you can see food the dog can get it. Unfortunately, my dog also has idiopathic epilepsy and must be fed on a consistent schedule. I'm going back to school and I won't be able to feed him on time. He eats wet food and I was wondering if anyone knew of an automatic pet feeder that is both impermeable and capable of feeding my dog at least 5 times a day and wet food?

There is a 5 meal automatic pet feeder on the market(I thin it is made by Petmate). I believe it is carried at both Petsmart and Petco. Each pocket can hold up to a cup of dry food. The feeder is circular and rotates to the open position at the preset time. I don't know anyone who has used it, so I don't know if resourceful dogs can break it open. Also since wet food can not sit out all day at room temperature, this would only work for dry food. I have been looking for a similar solution for my kitten, but haven't found anything that will keep wet food cold. If you find anything I would love to hear about it.
