1. Capacity issues
If it is bought for the purpose of going out, it is necessary to calculate the daily food intake of the cat and determine the capacity of the food storage tank.
The fully automatic feeders I have learned about have capacities ranging from 2L to 5L, and most of them come with a drying box that can replace the drying bag. Some also have sealing rings, dust seals, etc., which have good sealing properties to ensure that cat food is fresh, not spoiled, and not infested with insects.
2. Not getting stuck in food
Can fully automatic pet feeders really help cats eat on time? How to choose?
The output size of each feeder is different, with some having a maximum size of 14mm, as well as 15mm and 10mm. Therefore, after purchasing, take a look at the size of cat food at home, including dry food, freeze-dried food, and so on.
Moreover, all fully automatic feeders have their own food dispensing systems, such as a three point grid at the bottom of the grain storage tank, and an intelligent reverse anti jamming mechanism. If there is blockage in the forward rotation, it will rotate in the opposite direction, and the food outlet is also very smooth, allowing for direct food dispensing.
So, in fact, the problem of grain jamming can only be detected during use. However, the first thing is that the grain put in must meet the specified size, otherwise it is definitely easy to get stuck.
3. Power supply mode
It is best to choose dual power supply, which integrates plug-in and battery, so that even if the power is cut off, it will not affect the use.
Another point is that because the feeder that can be remotely controlled needs to be connected to the internet, data will also be restored and backed up after power outage, so there is no need to worry about duplicate feeding and other issues.
4. Detachable and easy to clean
After all, there will definitely be some residue after long-term use, which needs to be cleaned. The commonly used cat bowls at home also need to be cleaned every day.
Some feeders have a feeding bowl that is integrated, while others can be removed separately, making it super convenient to clean every day. But if it is integrated, it needs to be dismantled directly. It should be noted that some bodies cannot be cleaned, while others can. It is necessary to follow the instructions.
