The Best Automatic Pet Feeder

This programmable pet feeder ranked first in every test conducted by The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute, from portion control to capacity to ease of use. Unlike lesser pet feeders with trap door dispensers that deviate up to 15% from one feeding to the next, this model uses a patented flexible drive that delivers a precise amount of food every time (from two tablespoons to six cups). Providing greater capacity than turntable-style units and more flexibility than those with limited timers, this pet feeder's hopper holds up to 10 lbs. of moist or dry kibble and is easily programmed for up to five feedings a day using its LCD control panel. The only feeder powered via an included AC adapter or six D batteries (not included), it can be positioned anywhere indoors or outdoors. The sturdy ABS hopper rests on a raised base that can be filled with water to prevent infestation from ants. 16 3/4" H x 13 3/4" W x 18" D. (9 1/4 lbs.)
