Automatic Pet Feeder?
Question by Amy B: Automatic Pet Feeder?
Looking for an automatic pet feeder that keeps the rest of the food secure. We have two dogs that live in the back yard (with a heated and air conditioned dog house). We used to be able to leave them plenty of food and it would last a few days. we both travel and have crazy schedules so we want to make sure that they have food when they want it. But, they are aparenty “sharing” their food with birds and squirrels.
What automatic pet food dispenser will only dispense a certain amount of food per day so that the other animals don’t eat a weeks worth of dog food the first day while the dogs are distracted.
The dogs don’t allow the other animals near the food when they are eating. But, the birds sneak in while they are sleeping in the yard or they team up and distract the dogs on the other side on the yard while the other birds steal their food.

Maybe there is a way you could secure the dog’s house? And then put the food inside the dog house? Because even if you use the automatic feeder, there is no promise the dogs will actually get the food, not the other animals. It would be horrible for your dogs to starve because they couldn’t get the food.
Good luck.

I’m not being rude but if you leave your dogs a couple of days supply of food that implies that you dont even have the time to feed them in person or be there much at all. In my oppinion you shouldn’t have dogs.
Jocelynn!!!! they shouldnt be left in the first place!!

Dogs should be inside with your family. They’re stuck out in the back yard and now you won’t even bother to feed them. It’s called abuse and neglect. Hopefully someone will turn you in.
