Even when they've just finished eating, our pets never forget to ask for food despite their hectic schedules of tail-chasing and well-earned cat naps.
You may consider using an automatic pet feeder to provide your dog or fish with their regular meals while you're away from home.
However, they do much more than just provide food. These are five essential facts concerning automated feeders that you may not be aware of!
- Schedule multiple meals in advance
Automatic pet feeders allow you to go away for a night or a weekend without worrying about your pet suffering a night at a kennel or cattery or even having to pay a friend or neighbour to take care of them during mealtimes. Instead, they provide consistent portions of food at regular intervals.
- Used for both wet and dry food
You may imagine a dry pellet dispenser when you think about automatic feeders, but did you know that they can handle both wet and dry food? Wet food is a good supply of water, even though dry food is a common kind of cat and dog food.
While dry pet food usually contains around 10-12% water, wet food has 75-78% water. To keep the food fresh in between servings, some feeders additionally come with ice packs.
- Improves relationship with your pet!
We can all relate to situations like having to remain late at work, being delayed in traffic, or having to cancel social arrangements. Still, sadly, we are unable to communicate them to our routine-loving pets. An automatic pet feeder can be the ideal answer for you if you have a busy schedule because any unexpected change might trigger worry (and hunger!).
- Supports great health
You must monitor your pet's weight, just like humans. An automatic feeder calculates the portions for you at regular intervals, minimizing overfeeding and promoting consistent growth and development.
Pet feeders can assist pets with diabetes or those adhering to a particular diet, as well as help you maintain a healthy weight for your dog or cat whether you're at home or on the go.
- Many are battery-operated
You don't need to worry if you're going out for a night in town and are afraid that an unplanned power outage will prevent your feeder from programming and rob your pet of meals. Unexpected power outages won't bother many automatic pet feeders since they run on batteries or have a backup battery, allowing your pet to continue enjoying their much-anticipated meals.
This also means that you don't have to arrange your feeder across your room, which is especially convenient if your closest outlet is positioned to be easily knocked over by your dog on his regular walks.
- Complete peace of mind!
Leaving your pet alone at home can be brainstorming. This is especially true if you are concerned about their food routine. An automatic pet feeder makes sure your pet eats at the right time when you are not around.
