A Brief Overview on Automatic Dog Feeders
A dog feeder is something that every dog owner
needs but while purchasing a dog feeding machine, there are certain questions
that one must ask to himself/herself. These questions include:
Is the scope of my job such that I travel a lot
with my pet, or otherwise? Is my dog's age medically appropriate for an
elevated automatic dog feeder ? Should I purchase a glass container or a plastic one? What
kind of feeding dish is better for my pet? Etc.
While this can simply not be denied that every
other person who works and is bound to leave his/her pet behind definitely
needs a dog feeder, it is important to look into the product's details and
various features that will suit you best. If your pet is trained enough to eat
within limits even though there is an unrestricted access to its diet, you
might not need an automatic dog feeder. But if otherwise, automatic dog feeders
are designed in such a way that they dispense a set portion of the meal at
different intervals throughout the day. This whole setup is done via a
programmable timer which can be set according to your pup's eating habit. This
allows your pet to eat a regulated amount of food after scheduled intervals. It
prevents over-eating while you are not around to check. There are two types of
dog feeding machines, one that feeds food and other that feeds water. Most dog
waterer machines incorporate a carbon filter that removes all kinds of
impurities and ensure that your dog is drinking bacteria free soft water.
There are two major compartments of an automatic
dog feeder. The top portion is made of an inverted glass or plastic bowl that
holds food, that is, the dog food dispenser. This dispenser comes in various
sizes, so you can purchase according to your dog's daily intake.The other
portion is the dog food holder, i.e. the dish into which the machine dispenses
food. These dishes come in a variety of materials, like plastic and ceramics.
However, stainless steel dishes are much safer on account of many reasons.
Stainless bowls lower the possibility of dermatitis, which is very likely if
your pet is exposed to plastic. The pore-free structure of stainless bowls also
prevents harmful bacteria to settle on the bowl. They are easy to wash and last
long as well.
Elevated
dog feeders are recommended by a lot of veterinarians because they provide a
comfortable position for dogs to eat. It is also recommended for if your pet is
old, because, at later ages, dogs develop back problem and arthritis.
