Pets are, at the same time, an inexhaustible source of love and affection for their owners, but also a black hole through which a large part of their savings go. Between bills from the vet and walkers, travel supplements and the accessories they need for coexistence in urban life, they take a significant pinch of a person’s salary. Not to mention the hours that one gets to spend away from home to win it. However, at Lidl we can find everything our best friend needs in a low cost version.
On this occasion, however, we are going to focus on one accessory in particular that is going to help us our cats and dogs are more independent and they can do without our presence at times when they have to eat but we cannot be at home.
While there are some pets with self-control when it comes to eating, whose food can be safely left on their plate without risk of gobbling it up three seconds after putting it in the bowl, so too there are many without any self-control and that they could eat without stopping until they burst.
In these cases, food must be rationed and served when it is due, but what happens if we have to spend eight hours (or more) a day in the office or if one day we need to spend almost all of it outside and no one can lend us a hand? For it automatic food dispensers are very useful and, although they usually have a high price, at Lidl we have found one within the reach of all pockets.
It is an automatic opening dispenser with a timer up to 48 hours and light-protected storage for dry and wet food. It consists of two removable plates of approximately 860 ml., and incorporates a cold accumulator so that the food is kept in good condition.

The operation is simple, using a wheel we select the time interval that has to happen until the lid of the dispenser opens and, when the time comes, it will do so, revealing what is inside. The best thing is that it is priced at only 19.99 euros.
Other automatic food dispensers
Although it is difficult to find another automatic dispenser so cheap on the market, there are many electronic models. Of course, they go up a little more in price but, in exchange, they offer the possibility of programming them to dispense more shots per day. Like this one from Edipets, which can offer up to six meals a day.
