Goods for pets

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Many have a cat or dog in their home, and sometimes both, but not all have enough time to take good care of them. But for many pets, adherence to the diet is simply vital for health reasons. Auto feeders will help owners to supply animals with food with a strictly metered number of servings during their absence. Depending on the filler tank, this can occur for one or several days, which is very convenient for irregular working hours, business trips, short-term vacation trips.

There are several types of auto feeders. The simplest ones are equipped with a minimum of functions, but also differ in budgetary cost. The filling devices are triggered when the tray is empty. Their disadvantage is the rapid emptying of the container with an increased appetite of the animal. There are models that, with the help of sensors, determine the location of a cat or dog at the feeder and pour a dosed portion into the tray. If the previous feed has not been completely eaten, then the new quantity will not be dispensed.

Some devices are controlled by a mobile device. Via Wi-Fi, you can change the current settings and control your diet. An interesting option is the signal of the device with the owner's voice, which was recorded in advance. Auto feeders for wet food are different from devices for dry food. Many of them are additionally equipped with a drinker. Regardless of the type, all devices are safe for pets. They are equipped with special mechanisms, so they will not be able to open the feeder on their own.

When choosing a useful item, it is worth considering the size of the animal and the duration of the absence from home. Various modifications allow you to purchase a feeder, based on the needs of the pet. Personalized settings can help you establish an optimal dietary regimen or prevent overeating in case of gastrointestinal disorders or sensitive digestion.

Our experts analyzed the market and selected 12 leading-selling auto feeders. They received the majority of votes from dog and cat breeders who, in practice, were convinced of the functionality, quality and practicality of these models.
