Automatic Feeders for pets

My views exactly. Meal times are a time to bond with your pet, and they often develop little habits or rituals when you prepare their food. My friend's dog always runs in circles around the coffee table when her meal is being prepared. Dogs also seem to sense when feeding time is imminent, so automatic feeders could mess around with their internal body clock.
