If you've been away from home for a few days and do not know how to handle your cat's meals, you might have considered buying a cat food dispenser. Also called "pet feeders", they are automated bowls that can regulate the flow of food into the bowl, also setting schedules, quantities and more. These cat food vending machines are spreading more and more, thanks to advancing technology and increasingly lowering prices.
Obviously the advice is not to leave the cat alone for many days, and still rely on a trusted person who comes to check, as long as you're away, if everything is fine, because you never know that the dispenser of croquettes is blocks, and there are problems in feeding the cat.
Why use a cat automatic feeder
The cat food dispenser can be useful, as we said, if we go away from home for a few days, and we want the cat food to be kept intact and delivered in pre-established doses, without the risk that the cat will binge immediately and not leave more food for the following days.
Cats dispensers can be useful even if we have overweight cats , in order to provide the right ration of food every day without having to weigh, but also if we want to give the right daily dose of croquettes every day to our cats, without having to weigh them everyday.
Types of food dispenser for cats
There are distributors of cat kibbles , which are the most common since the kibble have fewer problems of deterioration, but there are also wet food dispensers for cats , they are automatic bowls that deliver food to the cat at pre-established times and quantities.
Another distinction we can make between types of cat food distributors is that between "drop" dispensers and "pop-up" dispensers.
In the former, those in the fall, the food is dropped into the bowl below at pre-set intervals, so they are more suitable dispensers to the croquettes, not to the wet food.
The second category is the pop-up, which are automatic bowls for cats that make food appear when we set the timer.
This article will focus on electronic dispensers, those for which you can automatically set the presentation of the meal, at intervals that we decide, and we will not deal with the classic dispensers of croquettes that just fill and leave them to the cat, and the croquettes they fall from above from above.
There are also cat food dosers that also have an integrated water bowl, but I've already told you about the automatic water dispenser for cats in this article .
Let's look at some models of cat food distributors in detail, and see the differences and prices.
