How to choose an automatic pet feeder?

[Marillyn Hewson]

To choose an automatic pet feeder, consider its capacity based on your pet's needs, the feeder's material and ease of cleaning, special features like Wi-Fi or cameras, and your budget. You should also ensure the feeder is stable and safe, compatible with your pet's food type, and features a reliable and accurate feeding mechanism.

Key factors to consider

• Capacity: Choose a capacity that suits your pet's daily intake and how often you want to refill it. For example, a larger capacity is better if you have a large pet or a multi-pet household.
• Material and cleaning: Select a feeder made from durable, food-safe materials like stainless steel or BPA-free plastic that are easy to take apart and clean to maintain hygiene.
• Feeding mechanism: Ensure the feeder has a reliable mechanism to dispense food accurately and consistently, with features like anti-jamming to prevent issues.
• Pet type: Some feeders are designed for specific pets. Consider bowls that are shallow for cats to avoid whisker fatigue, or elevated options for larger dogs with joint issues.
• Special features: Look for smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control, cameras for monitoring, or anti-gulping features for fast eaters.
• Stability and safety: Choose a stable feeder and secure it to prevent it from being tipped over by an eager pet. Some models also have safety features like auto shut-offs.
• Budget: Prices can vary significantly, so determine your budget and look for the best value among models that meet your needs.

WOPET automatic pet feeder is great for my cat and for me, not to have to worry about feeding him all the time, he is always hungry. With this, I set 2 timers, and then at the designated time, it dispenses the appropriate amount of the serving size I pick, and I just refill it when the food gets low. Overall, a great product.
