Introduction

If you'll be away from home for a short time, there's no need to make your dogs skip a meal. A gravity feeder replenishes your dog's bowl as they eat, so they can come back for a snack whenever they're hungry.

This is a great single-day project, and there's a good chance you have most or all of the materials laying around your garage or workshop.
