Technology has reached the world of dogs. We already have collars with gps and mobile applications that allow us to enjoy our pets more. But the truth is that there are inventions that we resist, such as automatic dog feeders. It is true that the price of these feeders is much higher than that of a normal plastic or metal feeder, but they also have their advantages.
There are many of us who consider the convenience of having an automatic feeder to feed the pet at the right time and with the right amount. But this comfort is good. We have to ask ourselves if it is just a necessity, because we spend a lot of time away from home during the day, or is it a way to avoid work. If it is the first, welcome is the feeder, in the second case, it is better to continue with the traditional way, since mealtime can be a good time for learning.
An automatic dog feeder can be a great idea, since these feeders are autonomous. They give the dog food at a certain time and we can schedule them. It is a great idea if we spend a long time away from home and we want our pet to be fed in small doses during the day.
However, we all know that during mealtime we can teach the dog things, and it is yet another way to create a link with them. Those routines are part of his life, and we must be part of them at the same time. In addition, common sense tells us that any machine can break down and therefore the dog can be left without eating. In case we spend long periods away, it is always better to entrust the food to a relative or acquaintance.
