Gravity Feeder
Gravity Feeder
You leave at seven and you are not back until six. The bowl is empty by ten and you know it. So you overfill it in the morning, he eats the lot in one go, and by the afternoon you are the person texting a neighbour about a dog bowl.
What it does
- Holds a reserve of dry food above the bowl and lets gravity top it up as he eats — the bowl stays level all day
- No electricity, no batteries, no app, nothing to fail while you are out
- Lid keeps the reserve covered
- Works for dry food only
- Hopper lifts off the base for refilling and washing
Who it is for
Working owners, single-pet households, and anyone away for a long day rather than a long weekend.
Be honest about what this is
This is a reserve, not a portion controller. It keeps food available — it does not decide how much he eats or when. If your dog or cat eats until the food runs out, this will make that worse, not better. Free-feeding suits some animals and not others, and that is a call for you and your vet, not for a plastic hopper.
What we have not measured yet
We have not weighed the hopper capacity ourselves or tested how it handles larger kibble, which can bridge and stop the flow in any gravity feeder. When we have run it here, the numbers go in this section.

Sizing
Measure, do not guess. Where a product has sizes, the chart is in the description above, with the exact measurement each size is based on. If your animal falls between two sizes, message us before ordering rather than after.
Delivery
We ship anywhere in South Africa. Rates and timeframes are on the shipping page. Made-to-order items are produced after you order, so they take longer than the rest of the range.
Returns
Faulty or damaged is on us, including the return postage. Change of mind is covered on the returns page. Personalised items cannot be returned for change of mind, which is why we confirm the spelling and size with you in writing first.
What we do not claim
Nothing we sell treats, prevents or cures anything. These are aids, not veterinary care. Where we have not measured something ourselves, the description says so rather than repeating the supplier's word for it.
A bowl that is not empty by ten
You leave at seven and you are back at six. The hopper holds a reserve above the bowl and gravity tops it up as he eats.
Tops itself up
The reserve sits above the bowl, and as he eats, more food drops down. The bowl stays level through the day.
Nothing to fail
No electricity, no batteries and no app. Nothing to go flat or disconnect while you are out.
Comes apart to wash
The hopper lifts off the base for refilling and washing, and the lid keeps the reserve covered.

Can I use wet food?
No. It works for dry food only.
Will it stop my dog overeating?
No. It keeps food available and does not control how much he eats. If he eats until the food runs out, a gravity feeder is the wrong choice. Ask your vet whether free-feeding suits your animal.
How much food does it hold?
We have not weighed the capacity ourselves yet, so we are not giving the supplier's number as ours. When we have, it goes on this page.
How long does delivery take?
2 to 4 working days to most South African addresses, dispatched from Cape Town. You get a tracking number when the parcel is collected, not when the order is placed.
What if it is wrong when it arrives?
Tell us within 30 days and we will sort out a return on anything unused and in its packaging. No restocking fee. Personalised items are the exception, which is why we confirm the spelling with you first.
Are these vet recommended?
No. We will not put those words on a page without a named, consenting, registered vet who has actually reviewed the product, and we do not have one. Nothing here treats, prevents or cures anything. A distressed animal needs a vet, not a product page.
