Automatic Pet Feeder Instructions

Automatic pet feeders feed pets on time, and you can avoid having to open the containers and measure out the food several times a day, making them convenient for busy pet owners.

  1. Instructions

    • Automatic pet feeders dispense a specific amount of food at a specific time of day, determined by you. Small feeders accommodate pets weighing 15 pounds or less, medium feeders are for pets up to 40 pounds, and for pets over 40 pounds, buy a large feeder. Automatic pet feeders are comprised of a storage container and a feeder assembly housing. A timer controls an electric motor, which dispenses the food. Most automatic feeders require that you use dry, pellet-style pet food. Many feature a digital timer that is easily programmed in a few minutes and can be over-ridden if your pet needs more food or will be gone.

    Advantages

    • Veterinarians recommend automatic pet feeders for diabetic pets, who do best when they eat at the same times each day. For owners with varying schedules, automatic pet feeders are reliable, whether or not you are late getting out of the office, and make for satisfied and happy pets.
