Patent attributes
An automatic wet pet food dispenser and method are provided. The dispenser includes a cutting surface onto which at least one sealed container of wet pet food is securable. A cutting blade is contactable with and movable with respect to the container placed on the cutting surface to thereby cut open the container. When the blade cuts open the container, the wet pet food inside the container falls out. A container shaking mechanism shakes the container to facilitate the wet pet food falling out of the cut open container without substantially moving the container from the cutting surface. A logic and timing module is provided to enable programming of the dispenser in advance, and a communication module is provided to enable the dispenser to receive commands remotely from a pet owner and send messages to the pet owner confirming successful food deployment and eating.
