Your schedule sounds similar to mine. Although General Lee does get out in the morning for a walk as we do not have a yard for him to be in. We walk about 5 in the morning. He always eats right after he walks. When I get home in the evening he walks again and then eats. If the weather is not to cold, we will get one more walk in before bedtime, however, right now with evening temps down in the 20's plus wind, the evening walk is changed to chasing a laser around the house.
I have never used an auto feeder and my concern would be obesity. I think there is a feeder that you can do portion control with and it has a timer. Skymall.com has a portion control feeder that is on a timer. They also have one that keeps the food covered until the timer goes off. Then the lids slides away and the portion of food is there.
Hope this helps. |
