Automatic Pet Food Dispensers and Pet Feeders can be an invaluable resource for the pet owner on the go. In case of travel, work, or vacation, pet feeders can ensure that your pet gets fed right on the ball.

There are 2 categories of pet feeders. Mechanical feeders and automated feeders.

Mechanical feeders are simple feeders that are based on the laws of gravity. They are composed of a food storage bin or tower, and a dish. Once the level of food in the dish is below a certain level, more food will fill up the dish from the hopper (storage bin). As such, food is always available to the pet, which can consume as much as it wants to.

Automated feeders can be automatic dishes or automatic food dispensers.

Automatic dishes are composed of covered compartments that the pet owner puts food in. At a preset time, the dish will open one of the compartments, giving the pet access to food.

Automatic food dispensers are, like mechanical dishes, composed of the hopper and the dish. The “automated” section is composed of a timer, and often a measurer. As such measured portions of food are dispensed to the pet at preset times.

The ideal pet feeder should be suited to your pets needs. As such the pets size, age , temperament and feeding habits should bear consideration.

Further, the ideal pet feeder should pass some tests in utility.

Why an Automatic Cat Feeder?

automatic feeder

Automatic cat feeders tend to fall into two main categories. The word “automatic” usually refers to a gravity type of system, while “electronic” is used to mean the type of feeder that offers portion and frequency control.

There is an electronic automatic cat feeder is designed to feed your pet at its normal meal times when you are away, or even when you are not. Some automatic pet feeders will provide 5 meals, others will provide 6, and still others will provide up to 8 meals. One model of these 8-compartment electronic pet feeders is programmable and holds over 96 ounces of food separated in eight different compartments. You can schedule feedings at the same time daily or at multiple times each day. Since it has room for ice packs below the feeder dish, you can feel safe in leaving wet canned pet food in the automatic pet feeder, as well.

The electronic pet feeders are a great solution for dispensing moist or dry food, treats, or medications on a regular or timed basis. An automatic feeder is a perfect choice for dispensing only dry food but keep in mind, the food is always available, not regulated. If your pet tends to overeat, the electronic feeder may be what it best for your needs.

Whether you chose either an automatic feeder or an electronic feeder, all you need to do is periodically refill them (and of course clean them). Either choice makes life simpler for you and provides consistency to your pet’s life which helps to reduce stress.
