Veken Automatic Cat Feeder Review
Cats are the queens you wouldn’t want to mess with. While feeding a dog is an easy task, the same cannot be said for your feline friend. Cats tend to be particularly fussy about what they eat and how it is served to them. Not every cat would want you around when they are eating. So, what is the best way to solve this issue? Well, you can try out an amazing option available in the market named Veken Automatic Cat Feeder.
Today, we will review this cat feeder to ensure that it fits your cat’s needs the best way.
Veken Automatic Cat Feeder: What’s Good?
The Veken Automatic Cat Feeder consists of two desiccant bags along with a secure lid that flaunts a twist-lock design. This ensures that the food doesn’t spill off in case your cat knocks it down accidentally or even intentionally as is common with most cats.
Not just that, the securely locking lid keeps your cat’s food fresh for a long and prevents the pet from accessing more than needed. If yours is a cat that is close to you and doesn’t eat unless you call them to do so, it could be a bit problematic in case you are out or at your office. You simply cannot leave your pet some food in case they feel hungry.
To ensure they eat the food right when it’s needed, the Veken Feeder comes with an option where you can record customized messages as long as 30 seconds. In this personalized audio, you can use your regular pet call and ensure that the cat eats it properly and in time.
This is especially important if your cat is on medications and needs to consume its food at the right time. Your voice would surely make the pet feel loved even when you aren’t around.
In terms of power supply, this automatic feeder for pet cats makes use of a dual supply methodology. You can either plug it into a power supply port or make use of batteries (uses a total of three batteries- 3X D). It is recommended that you make use of both in case there is a power outage and you aren’t around.
The best thing about this cat feeder is the fact that it comes with its very own memory function. This means you don’t have to reset your cat’s feeding schedule in case the power goes off. The feeder has a 4 liters capacity which is ideal for small or medium-sized cats and is even perfect for families with multiple pets.
Moreover, the pet feeders by Veken are created from high-quality food-grade materials that are easy to wash. Additionally, the set also includes a vet-approved bowl made up of stainless steel to dispense the food for the cat.
