Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Petmate's Le Bistro is an Automatic Pet Feeder for Portion Control

— September 17, 2014 — Lifestyle
Petmate's Le Bistro is an automatic pet feeder that's designed to make it easy to control the portions your cat or dog is eating. The electronic pet feeder has a blender-like shape that is able to hold about 10 pounds of pet food at a time. Although there are some pets that would probably be happy to chow down on as much food as possible, the Le Bistro is designed so that pet owners can program the feeder to release anywhere from a quarter of a cup to a full 3 cups up to three times throughout the day.

The device runs on batteries and the feeding bowl can be easily detached from the rest of the unit for cleaning.
