[0002] With the improvement of people's spiritual pursuit, more and more families begin to raise feline or canine animals as pets, and in many families, pets have become an important member of the family. Pet feeding is naturally an important part of pet raising. However, in real life, pet owners will inevitably go to school, go to work or travel, etc., which requires going out for a long time. At this time, it is often impossible to normally meet the pet feeding requirements.

[0003] To solve the above problems, pet feeders are often used now, which will dispense a fixed amount of feed at a specific time for pets to eat. However, in actual use, it is found that since pets do not eat completely regularly, especially when there are multiple pets, the feeding times of each pet are more irregular. The above method only dispenses feed at a specific time. If the dispensing time is too early, it is easy to cause the feed to deteriorate after being exposed for a long time. If the dispensing time is too late, it does not match the feeding needs of the pets. Summary of the Utility Model
