For a lot of people who have pets, they aren’t home with their furry friend 24/7. In order to make sure your pet is getting the food they need each day, consider these automatic pet feeders. You don’t have to worry about having a neighbor or even the dog walker put out food for them. Depending on the size of your pet, these devices will ration out correct portions, so they won’t be left hungry or won’t leave extra food in the dish. So stop worrying about rushing home to feed the pet once you pick up any of these automatic pet feeders.

Best Smart Automatic Pet Feeder

You can control almost anything with your phone so why should your pet’s food bowl be any different? The PetSafe Smart Feed Automatic Dog and Cat Feeder is Wi-Fi enabled, so you can control it from an app on your iPhone or Android device. You can program up to 12 meals and set them to your pet’s feeding times. There’s also a Feed Now option that lets you dispense food at any moment. Plus, if you aren’t in a Wi-Fi area to choose the feeding times, it will just automatically dispense what you have programmed it to do. The portions can be set between 1/4 cup and 4 cups of food and there is a slow feed function that dispenses the food slowly over 15 minutes, so your dog won’t gobble it down.
