Portioned dry-food schedules — consistency without the 5 a.m. alarm guilt
About $50–$120
Automatic feeders shine for portion control and schedule consistency, not for wet food. Measure calories with your vet's guidance; the machine only dispenses what you program. Look for locking lids if you have a food-obsessed counter-surfer.
Who it's for: Busy households that need reliable dry-food meal times.
Skip if: You only feed wet food — this class of feeder usually fails that job.
Alternatives with different tradeoffs — not clones of the same pitch.
