ABSTRACT:
An automatic dog and cat feeder includes an elongated vertical housing enclosing a hopper in the upper portion thereof. Its lower end is the funnel outlet hole. A spring-loaded cone valve below the outlet prevents the dry pellet particular feed from being released. The cone valve movement is solenoid-operated with timers. One timer selects the time of day for feeding, the other timer the amount of feed released. This is regulated by a predetermined setting the cone valve remains open for large or small pets' needs. The feed delivery system is housed in a container which in turn when in operation directs dry pellet particular feed to the exterior of the feeder into a feed dish.
