DIY Homemade Dog Feeders

A homemade dog feeder is an efficient way to keep your furry friend happy.

Dog feeders are a great invention that can save you time and ensure that your pet always has enough to eat. These can especially come in handy when you are away for a few days. There are many dog feeders on the market that work great but are also expensive. Fortunately, you can make your own dog feeder by using only a few items and by following a few steps.

Things You'll Need

• 2 liter bottle
• Scissors
• Soap
• Water
• Rectangular dog bowl (no more than 2 inches deep)
• 3 U-shaped nails
• Hammer

Instructions

1. Remove all labeling from a two-liter plastic bottle and cut off the bottom of the bottle with a pair of scissors.

2. Wash the 2 liter bottle with soap and water to eliminate all residue from the inside.

3. Place your dog's rectangular food bowl against a wall lengthwise.

4. Invert the 2 liter bottle and place it over one end of the dog bowl and against the wall. Make sure the bottle is positioned so that the spout is approximately 1 inch above the bottom of the dog bowl.

5. Attach the 2 liter bottle to the wall by hammering 3 u-shaped nails into the the top, middle and bottom parts of the bottle into the wall. When food is poured into the 2 liter bottle, it will form a mound and automatically dispense more food as your dog continues to eat.

Tips & Warnings

• Having an assistant to help hold the bottle against the wall can make this process much easier.
