Dinner served without you
Pets have an internal clock accurate to the minute, and it runs entirely on guilt. Dinner is at 5:30. It’s 5:29. They’re staring at you.
The iHome Smart 6-Meal Pet Feeder takes over the schedule. Use the LCD control panel right on the feeder to program up to six meals across a 24-hour day, then go about your life. (Or your commute that ran long again. We won’t ask.)
It works with wet and dry food, so you’re not locked into one kind of kibble. Capacity tops out at 6 cups, which keeps the bowl stocked for a routine that no longer depends on you remembering.
Power comes from AA batteries (not included, so check the junk drawer), and the cordless design means it can go wherever makes sense instead of wherever an outlet happens to be. It’s a flat, roughly 12-inch square that weighs just over two pounds.
Set the times once, and your pet’s most punctual demand gets handled without a reminder on your phone.
