ABSTRACT:
A dog feeder for protecting and preserving food or fresh water to be made available upon self-initiated action of the dog includes a food or water vessel, an insect-isolating tray, and a closure for the vessel. The tray surrounds the vessel in the form of a moat. The vessel is thereby isolated from insects by water or other liquid contained within the tray. The closure is hinged to the vessel for being liftable by the dog's nose for permitting its access to the vessel's contents. A stop arrangement interengaging the closure and vessel limits lifting of the closure to a predetermined extent, thereby assuring of continued protection of the contents of the vessel even when the dog has obtained access to the vessel interior and assuring of subsequent closing of the closure under force of gravity.
