What you should really know about an Automatic Dog Feeder.

Automatic Dog Feeder

Combining our busy modern life with taking care of pets is often very difficult these days. People are even working longer hours, which leaves less time to take care of their dogs.

Like us humans, dogs do get hungry! As pet owners, we all know this. However, you may not always be home at the right time to feed your dog. This is where automatic dog feeder units come into their own.

Automatic dog feeders ensure that your pet always has a supply of food water while you are away. Also known by the generic term automatic pet feeder, these units come in all shapes and sizes to suit many different breeds of dog.

The size of your dog will definitely influence the type of feeder you purchase. Larger dogs such as Golden Retrievers, Labradors or Huskies would be more suited to an Elevated dog feeder. You wouldn't want your Bull Mastiff bending their neck down all day to feed themselves, so think carefully about the type of automatic dog feeder that you purchase.

Likewise if you own a smaller dog such as a Pug, Spaniel, Terrier or Spoodle, you will need a pet feeder that can be adjusted low to the ground. If you have multiple breeds of dog in your home, you should probably consider purchasing a separate automatic dog feeder for each animal to suit their individual needs.

Assembly is a breeze, and the plastic feeding bowl can be easily removed when cleaning is needed. Most automatic dog feeder units also come with a 1 year warranty.

Market leading automatic dog feeders include Petmate, Ergo and Petsafe. We will look at a few of these below.

Petmate Le Bistro

Automatic pet feeders such as the Petmate Le Bistro can remove the hassle out of feeding your pet. You can program the pet feeder to dispense cups of dry dog food up to 3 times a day. This method of portion control is one of the major benefits of an automatic dog feeder. It is important to use only dry dog food - avoid using canned or moist meats.

Ergo Automatic Pet Feeder

Another popular brand is the Ergo Automatic Pet Feeder. The medium model holds up to 10 lbs of food. It also features an electronic digital timer for precision dog feeding.

PetSafe Auto Pet Feeder

For those who want a more basic version, there are other automatic dog feeders on the market which may be more suitable. The PetSafe Auto Pet Feeder can store up to 5 cup sized meals for your dog. A timer is also present so you can determine when your dog is fed.

Once you start using an automatic pet feeder, you will never look back. No longer will you have to think twice about spending a weekend away or organising a neighbour to feed your dog. The automatic dog feeder will take care of this for you!

You can even combine an automatic pet feeder with other products such as a Drinkwell pet fountain, elevated dog feeder or Top Paw Pet Bowl. You will take the effort out of feeding your animals by utilizing these products - essentially leaving you with more free time.
