We combed through hundreds of pet feeders, considering ease of use, kibble storage size, the number and amount of feedings per day, and more. In our selection, we reviewed customer reviews as well as the following:
Capacity: Each pet feeder holds a certain amount of food, so we consider different capacities to hold more or less food (ie, you have to refill food more often or less often).
Pet type: Different types of pets require different types of food bowls. For example, cats prefer a shallow bowl that allows them to eat the bottom without bending their whiskers. On the other hand, some dogs prefer a tall food bowl, especially if the dog is larger or has joint issues.
Features: We’ve considered special features in automatic pet feeders like Wi-Fi connectivity, included apps, cameras, touchscreens, and more.
Price: Automatic pet feeders have a large price range, depending on the above factors. We’ve selected options in the low price range ($50-$60), as well as in the higher price range ($130-$230) so there’s something for every budget.
