When you have a dog at home, it quickly becomes an important member of the family. Your pooch provides a distinct kind of companionship and unquestionable loyalty. As such, it sometimes feels bad when we have to leave them at home. Make mealtimes the least of your worries with a handy automatic feeder like the Dokoo FR112.

We’ve featured a few of these before, but those were mostly for small to medium breeds. With a 15-liter capacity, this high-tech appliance should be more than enough for larger pets or for those with a huge appetite. Of course, overfeeding is not advisable either, which is why the FR112 is a great help when nobody is around to look after your furry pals.

A common issue that can lead to unnecessary wastage is improper storage. A lot of automatic feeders ship with hoppers that do not form a reliable seal. We all know extended exposure to air eventually affects the quality of the kibble. Given how sensitive some dogs are to the smell, taste, and texture of their food, this is something that needs to be carefully considered.

Dokoo says this model supports smart vacuum sealing. Therefore, the contents stay fresh longer. It is compatible with most types of dry pellets, from as small as 2 mm to those as big as 22 mm. The design of the dispenser prevents jams and accurately measures just how much volume each serving drops into the bowl.

Another cool feature is the adjustable height of the stainless steel bowl receptacle. Depending on the size of the dog, the food stays comfortably within reach. The FR112 can draw power directly from the outlet or through the built-in rechargeable batteries.
