Abstract: An animal feeding system particularly suitable for dispensing prepared food servings to a domesticated animal such as a dog, includes an enclosure in which a number of food servings can be stored for later feeding to the animal. At pre-selected feeding times, the servings are retrieved by a dispensing mechanism that carries them to the vicinity of a feed opening in the enclosure. The feeding times can be selected or altered by either a local keypad or from a remote location by way of a telephone line interface.

Abstract: An animal feeding system particularly suitable for dispensing prepared food servings to a domesticated animal such as a dog, includes an enclosure in which a number of food servings can be stored for later feeding to the animal. At selected feeding times, each of the servings is aligned with a food transfer location within the enclosure and retrieved by a dispensing mechanism that carries the serving over to a feed opening in the enclosure. The feed opening is sized and located so that the animal can reach through the opening and consume the presented food serving at the selected feeding time.
