Abstract: A low-profile disk-shaped base member which is designed for placement on a ground surface or floor, where the base member includes an elevated central hub portion with an opening extending therethrough. A lower cap element is releasably connectable in sealed relation to the hub from the bottom of the base member to form a cavity or chamber below the central opening in the base member. The chamber houses a rotatable ball or spherically shaped liquid delivery mechanism within its confines which extends upwardly through the central opening in the base member. The chamber is adapted to store a liquid consumable product, such as a liquid supplement or treat, for controlled delivery to the pet as the pet licks the ball.

Abstract: An automatic animal feeder has two bowls and a base unit which accepts the bowls. Two lids are provided, one for each bowl, which may be closed to cover the bowl and prevent access to it or opened about a hinge means to allow access to the bowl. A lid control mechanism is capable of keeping either lid closed independently or opening either lid independently. A removable joining member is provided that links the two lids so that one lid cannot open unless the other lid can also open.
