The main framework and body houses a controlled drive mechanism along with a plurality of like sized compartments having additionally a common pivotally connected lid and normally closed trap door panels located at the bottom of same. The trap door panels are released by gravitation after a supporting draw bar normally engaged therewith is withdrawn in an unobstructed tension-free straight line in its own guide channel deploying a gap allowing free-fall of the trap doors. The dry pet food is further directed and dispensed via a directional trough into a receiving bowl or container.
