Did you ever have this following experience:
1. Early morning, you were trying to get some more sleep in. Suddenly, a series of scratching sound came from your room door. It’s your dog (or cats). He was so anxious because it was his feeding time, but you were still in bed!
2. You needed to work every day, but you couldn’t find a friend or neighbor to feed your pet. So all you can do was leave a lot of food out for your pet to eat at its own. In the end, the result was an obese pet.
3. You needed to leave town for a couple of days. You asked all around but couldn’t find anyone to take is your pet. So you have no choice but sending your pet to pet boarding, and that cost you couple hundred dollars.
If you had faced this kind of experience before, you might want to consider an automated pet feeder.
We all live a busy life this day, feeding our pets on a proper schedule become a difficult task. We can’t guarantee that we can feed our pets at the same time every day, which is quite essential for their health. An automated pet feeder can give you the relief of knowing your pets are always fed, whether you’re at work or going away for a couple of days. Most automated pet feeder today have the feature to set the time, portion and food type of each meal So you can make sure your pets eat at the right time, right amount and right kind of food.
As your pets, you are the only food source they have. So most of the time they will associate you with food. Also, animal most of the time have different life habit than human. For example, cats are active during night time, and they eat multiple small meals throughout the day. So when your pets are hungry in the early morning time when you want to get some more sleep in, who do you think they are going to go to for food? An automated pet feeder can save you from those “unwanted morning call.” With a little bit of training, you can transfer your association with food to the feeder. When your pets are hungry, they will go to the feeder instead to bother you.
According to research from the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 58% of cats and 53% of dogs in the United States were overweight. Pet obesity has become a growing issue, and the outcome is serious. Many factors caused this problem, but one of the more critical factors was owners are spending less time and attention on their pet’s diet. As people are getting busier and busier with their daily task, it often is hard for them to feed their pets personally every meal. So people start to something called free feeding, which is just leaving bunch food for the pets to eat as many as they want. The animals don’t know diet control, so they will eat as many as they can every time.
A great way to solve this problem is by using an automated pet feeder. This way can allow you to monitor and control your pets daily intake, without the need for your present. It indeed has all the benefits of feeding your pets personally and free feeding but without all the trouble and problem of both.
