Feeding your best furry friend shouldn’t be a chore. Scooping out kibble every time feeding time rolls around is so last century. Instead, rely on these automatic pet feeders.

Each of these modern gizmos will feed your cat or dog automatically. Many of these can be set to dispense chow a few times a day, depending on the size of your cat or dog. You know, in case you forget. Don’t forget to feed your pets, folks. Luckily, with one of these babies you don’t have to. No matter what budget you’re working with, one of these should fit your needs.

You can also specify how much food the feeder dispenses and even use the Slow Feed option if your animal has issues with eating too fast. It’s also compatible with Alexa-enabled devices, so you can control it with your voice too. Never be roused from the sofa by a frantic hungry pet again!
