Cats and dogs thrive on routine, but long workdays and hectic schedules can make it nearly impossible to keep mealtimes consistent. Automatic pet feeders dispense the perfect amount of food at scheduled times so you never have to worry about rushing home to feed your beasts.
Even better, if your pet is among the more than 50 percent of cats and dogs in the United States that are overweight or obese, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, then an automatic pet feeder may help them get back in shape. You can program the feeder to dispense perfectly measured portions. Unlike humans, pet feeders never get swooned into extra helpings by those “puppy dog eyes,” nor can they be tricked into giving a second dinner, as often happens when family members fail to communicate that the pet’s already been fed.
You can choose from several types of feeders to meet your pet’s mealtime needs. Smart feeders allow you to modify your pet’s meal schedule remotely and even dispense snacks from your phone, and some even have a built-in camera so you can drop in on your pet anytime. Other feeders don’t use an app but have handy capabilities like keeping wet food chilled, or allowing access for a specific pet using microchip identification.
