The Best Automatic Dog Feeders (Review) in 2021

The first product on our list is an auto dog feeder that makes scheduled mealtimes a piece of cake. Pet owners who work five days a week need to make sure that their dog is served his meals on time, even if  they are still stuck at the office . The PetSafe 5-meal pet feeder is easy to program and can be used every day, especially if your goal is to help your pooch lose weight. This timed pet feeder is equipped with a digital clock that you can use to schedule morning or evening meals that are served every hour on the dot. Once the timer has been set, the feeder will automatically rotate in order to feed your dog his next fresh batch of kibble. Each section of the tray is large enough for a one cup portion. The tray itself can be placed in the dishwasher for easy, hassle free cleaning. Both manual and automatic programs are available to help owners choose their preferred mode. The PetSafe feeder is suitable for cats and small as well as medium sized dogs.

Next on our list is the Petmate café feeder that comes with an easy snap lid and a dish that will never run out of  kibble thanks to the power of  gravity. Pet owners who need to travel for work can use this dog food dispenser to keep their pets fed 24/7.  All they need to do is fill up the gallon with dry food or water by opening the top lid and snapping it shut once they are done replenishing the feeder. The café feeder is available in three different sizes and is made of environmentally sustainable plastic.

You can serve up to 10 portions per meal depending on your dog’s nutritional needs. Each portion is 24 ml . The magnetic lid keeps your curious pets from accessing the kibble while the push-to-open lock makes it easy to fill up the dispenser before heading off to work. In addition to the easy lock mechanism, the feeder is also equipped with a recorder that allows you to record a special message that doubles as an invitation for your pooch to come and eat his meal from his kibble-filled bowl. Each dispenser comes with a DC power cord and can also be powered using 3-D batteries. 

The SureFeed microchip feeder was designed to help owners serve individual meals to their dogs. For example, if you have a dog who is on a prescription diet, then you can serve his meal inside this feeder to prevent other dogs from eating it . All you need to do is program  his microchip number into the smart feeder in order  to provide him with VIP access to his own bowl. Each bowl is large enough for around two cups of dry kibble. This feeder is also compatible with the SureFlap collar tags that can be worn by non-microchipped dogs to help them gain access to their sealed bowl.

The Simply Feed is another great product from PetSafe and features three customizable settings. Slow feed is great for dogs who are at risk of bloat and vomiting. This setting allows you to schedule small portions of food over a fifteen minute period in order to help them digest their meals better. The Pause feed setting allows you to stop the flow of food any time you want. You can program the feeder to dispense kibble or semi-moist foods 12 times per day or once at 8am and later at 5pm if your pooch needs to cut back on calories. The stainless steel bowl that comes with the dispenser allows you to serve up to 4 cups of tasty kibble and can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher. In addition, the transparent container can store up to 24 cups of food and has a secure locking lid to prevent accidental spillage.
