ABSTRACT:
An automatic pet feeder comprises a vertically extending tubular food reservoir, a tubular food loading port adjacent an upper end of the tubular food reservoir and at least one tubular feeding port adjacent a lower end of the tubular food reservoir. The tubular food reservoir is closed at its upper and lower ends and is provided with a means at its upper end for either non-rotatably or rotatably suspending the automatic pet feeder above the ground. The food loading port has a removable cap for sealing the loading port when food is not being loaded into the pet feeder. Each feeding port is sealed by a pivotally mounted cover plate which can be pivoted out of the way by a pet to gain access to food in the feeding port. The pet feeder can also have a support stand which has a collar that slidably receives the lower end of the tubular food reservoir to support the pet feeder on the ground or floor.
