Step On Dog Feeders

[j]

I've previously read about dog bowls that have a lid on them that opens when the dog steps on a pressure plate. I can't remember what they are called, so my google searches have been futile.

I leave dry food outside for my dog while I'm at work - but we have a resident currawong population who have found the free feed. I'd like to find someway to stop the currawongs eating his food.

Does anyone know what they are called? Or have a link to one?

Thanks in advance

At my house, that would be a pedal bin. :D

feed him when you are home?

use a treat ball like from Aussie Dog ?

pace bowl in a kennel ?

I usually give him his dry food when it's dark, in an attempt to prevent the issue, but he often doesn't eat it. The bowl is about arms length in underneath a caravan, which doesn't bother the birds at all. Every so often I hear a thunk when he manages to chase one while it is still under the van and they take off and try to fly straight up to avoid him :laugh:

I might try putting it in his kennel, there is a curtain across the door which I don't think the birds could get past. He doesn't go in there much either though, much prefers to curl up in a padded basket under the caravan.

Thanks for that Primedogs. Didn't find any in Australia - but some of the sites have quite detailed illustrations, so might see if OH can make one

They have them for chooks, from memory they are called Grandpa Feeders. Perhaps this might work?

if he's not finishing it he's not hungry. I would either put it in a treat ball or just dont feed him until you get home.
