ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically supplying both food and water to an animal according to a predefined schedule input into a timer wherein food is introduced into a food ring mounted on a rotatable carousel from a feed hopper and the rotation of the carousel being controlled by the timer. Water is introduced also at timed intervals through spray nozzles for several purposes, namely, to premoisten pelletized food prior to it being eaten and to clean the food ring subsequent to food consumption or removal of any leftover food, which food removal takes place by gravity. Water is also introduced into a drinking bowl for the pet to consume. Periodically, according to the input schedule, the water is automatically drained and subsequently the bowl is refilled.
