One of the down sides of having a pet is that it’s a whole lot harder to ditch town for a week without having a friendly neighbor that you know and trust. It’s a better option than just dumping extra food in a dish if you want to regulate how much they eat per day. The 6-day pet dish has an accurate timer and if there happens to be resistance on the feeder it will stop the lid rotation. That way if your pet happens to be finishing up it won’t catch their paw in the dish somehow. It can feed the animal in intervals of 6, 12 or 24 hours. Each compartment can hold about 2/3 cup of dry food, so it’s best for a smaller animal.

Instead of using light to produce the heat the sauna uses infrared rays to directly heat only the object (your dog or cat) lying directly in front of the device. There are apparently many health benefits to infrared heat too but the biggest advantage is that the harmful rays of the sun that can cause burns and other nasty side effects are avoided.
