A automatic dog food dispenser is perfect for people who need assistance feeding their pet on a daily basis while they are at work, away from home, or simply too busy.
This electronic feeder is not only convenient to you but also to your pet, assuring they are getting fed at the appropriate times throughout the day. Whether you have a pet that has to eat at 5 AM every morning or one that has to wait until you get home from your busy day before they can have dinner, automatic pet feeders make sense.
A automatic dog food dispenser can come in a variety of sizes to accommodate any sized dog. Each unit is devised of a food container, a food bowl and a programmable digital clock allowing you to set the appropriate feeding times and the quantity of food to be disbursed at each meal. Most units allow one, two, or multiple feeding times each day, and will follow that schedule every week, month or year until you change it.
Many automated dispensers can be set for smaller quantities dispensed throughout the day allowing you to control the serving size of your pet’s meals which can be quite helpful for dogs suffering from stomach eating disorders, diabetes or for older dogs whose metabolisms are slowing down.
Some top name brands of automated pet feeding dispensers, such as Le Bistro Automatic Pet Feeder, are battery operated, requiring you to change the batteries a couple times a year. Many other units have a power cord. When deciding which unit is right for you consider where it will be placed in the house and if there is electricity available close by. You should also take in consideration whether your pet likes to chew on everything. Some manufacturers do offer units that cover their power cords with the protective sheath making it near impossible for your pet to chew through it.
Generally there are three sizes of automatic dog food dispensers available. For dogs weighing less than 10 pounds a small electronic food dispenser is ideal. The bowl is at the ideal height for your small dog and the food bin can hold up to 5 pounds of dry dog food. If your dog weighs more than 10 pounds but less than 25, the medium-sized electronic food dispenser is ideal. It can hold up to 10 pounds of your dog’s favorite dry food. For large dogs weighing more than 25 pounds the large size automatic programmable dog food dispenser can hold enough dry food for them, up to 20 pounds. Most manufacturers do not recommend that you use a moist dog food in any of their units.
Whether you are considering purchasing an automatic dry dog food dispenser because your life is hectic or you merely forget to feed the dog throughout the day, it can be beneficial to your pet also. Eating on a more regular and consistent time schedule each day and enjoying the correct serving size at each meal, can help maintain your dogs health, and add quality years to their life.
