Abstract: An automated animal feeding station includes a housing having a closable lid that is hingeably attached to the housing. The housing includes a removable liner that forms an interior surface having one or more feeding compartments. The lid is hingeably attached to the housing such that when closed, the lid forms a sealable cover over the opening. The animal feeding station may include a sealing surface that forms a seal to the lid such that when the lid is closed, air and moisture transfer between the interior and the exterior of the housing is reduced. The animal feeding station also includes motor unit that is mechanically coupled between the housing and the lid, and may be open and close the lid upon actuation by motor control signals provided by a programmable control unit based upon a user defined feeding schedule and an identification sensor.
