How the Automatic Pet Feeders Work: The gravity automatic pet feeders are not electronic feeders so that they have no electronic mechanism. The gravity feeder works by the use of the earth's gravity to fall the food into the bowl or drip water into the bowl. When the food is eaten by the pet from the bowl more food will be dropped in the bowl due to gravity. The capacity you decide on will also have to feed into the size of the automatic feeder itself. You will need to ensure the device is suitable for your pet as well as your home/living area in general. Depending on the size of your pet, you will need to take into account the size of the bowl, height and portion hold. For larger breeds of dogs, you will look for a taller height and deeper bowl. And for a smaller dog or cat, the more compact models will work just fine. Food type
