Technology and
automation is creeping up more and more in almost every aspect of our lives and
the animal industry is no different.
One of the most
useful recent advancements in technology aimed at our pets is the programmable,
automatic dog feeder.
These devices
are not meant to completely replace your care and attention with regards to
feeding your dog. They must give a helpful hand to ensure your dog's needs are
taken care of if you find yourself out of the house for a full day, or prefer a
longer 'hands off' approach to regular stiff feeding times.
Automatic pet
feeders are sleek, modern pieces of equipment that do not look like it's in the
house and are available in a wide variety of colours and styles, with many
practical features for portion control and timing looking.
What is a dog automatic feeder?
Automatic dog
feeders are exactly what they look like - pet food dispensers that
automatically pour food either through electronic pre-programming or by
gravity.
They usually
consist of two parts: a glass or air-tight plastic hopper that contains food
before it is released, and a plastic, ceramic bowl or stainless steel food that
is distributed in and that your dog eat on.
Why use a dog automatic feeder? When are they useful?
Wopet automatic dog feeders will be an
incredibly useful addition to anyone unable to commit to regular dog feeds -
who could be elderly or disabled, or even just people working away from home,
those on a change basis of speed or those who take a short break away from
their home without their dog.
They are also a
great tool for homeowners looking to control their dog's weight and how much
their dog is eating. Electronic dog feeders will allow portion size and
scheduled feedings to pre-program you so that your dog will reap the health
benefits of eating small, but regular meals.
