Description
This feeder is built for pet parents who want reliable meal timing without a phone app, camera, or large dry-food hopper. The rotating tray layout separates meals in advance, which is helpful for portion pacing, early mornings, and overnight routines.
SmartPaw selected this format because it fills a different need than hopper-based feeders. It gives cats and small dogs a simple scheduled feeder option for wet or dry portions that are prepared in advance and released at the right time.
