If you’re headed out of town for a couple of days, or if you’re heading out for a night on the town with someone special and don’t plan on coming back until the wee hours or tomorrow afternoon, and you don’t want poor spot or mittens to go without, you might consider the Automatic Pet Feeder. The device is pretty cool: covered compartments keep pet food fresh and out of the open until the timer on the pet feeder goes off. You set the timer before you leave at intervals of 8, 12, or 24 hours, and right on cue, one of the compartments in the feeder will open up and reveal a fresh serving of food for your pet, without you having to lift a finger, or rush home to feed your loved one.
You can also record a 20 second voice message in the feeder, so when the timer goes off and the food is revealed, your pet has your reassuring voice to call them to the meal. The device can hold up to 3 servings at a time and runs off of 4 C batteries. You can pick it up now and use it when you know you won’t be home to feed your pet, or you can prep it in the morning and not have to lift a finger to feed your pet all day long.
