Instructions

    • 1

      Remove all of labels from the recycled 2-liter bottle. Rinse the bottle thoroughly until all excess waste and debris are gone after removing the labels. Dry the bottle using a paper towel or small hand towel.

    • 2

      Let the bottle dry thoroughly. Cut a 1-inch slit diagonally in the top of the bottle with the scissors.

    • 3

      Pour dry dog food into the bottle. Fill only the bottom half of the bottle; make sure that no dog food is placed above the slit you created.

    • 4

      Turn the bottle with the food upside down, ensuring that no food falls out. The top of the bottle should now be the bottom of the feeder, and the bottom should now be the top. Take a plastic foodcontainer or flat bowl and place the bottle inside the tray. Balance the bottle and the tray against a wall, to ensure the proper portions of food are dispensed.
