The conceptual 'Bark' dog feeder is a pet accessory for outdoor use that will work to keep food protected and fresh to allow for consumption at leisure without having to worry about contamination.
Designed by Karl Martin, the pet feeder features a fully enclosed case that can be accessed via an injection-molded ABS flap that will prevent garden pests from gaining entry. This is intended to be particularly helpful with keeping snails and slugs at bay, which could cause parasitic infections if they or their trails are ingested by dogs.
The conceptual 'Bark' dog feeder is particularly helpful with keeping pets supported when spending time outdoors for extended periods and also maintains a stylish design that will look right at home on a deck.
