    It honestly cracks me up that alot of people choose to own a pet, but are so lazy they even want to automate the feeding. Feeding an animal is one of the best ways to bond, you really should not offload that to a robot

      I had a cat which had to be portion controlled due to its weight, but the vet said to feed them small amounts multiple time a day - including while I was at work, so I didn’t really have a choice. I still fed her wet food in the morning and at night since the auto-feeder could only handle dry.

      I really agree. My dogs always wait until we are all home before they’ll eat, and if we’re not in the right room they’ll come find us and bring us out. It’s a ritual for them.

        I’ll top that! When I get the leash for our 20:00 walk, he starts eating and will frequently check if i’m still waiting
