How To Make A Toy Dog Feeder With Plastic Bottles

If you want to surprise your furry best friend with an original and fun idea that also stimulates your intelligence, make a toy feeder for dogs. You will see how quickly and easily you can create this object that your pet will love. Get to work!

What is the toy feeder for dogs?

The toy feeder for dogs is nothing more than a wooden container or frame that holds plastic bottles that contain food or snacks. The idea is for the dog to move the jars to get his prize.

Although it sounds simple, it will certainly take your pet a while to understand how the invention works, but it won’t get bored easily when figuring out what to do and starting to receive its rewards.

As you can see, it can be made from economical materials, which can be recycled, and you certainly already have them in your home and won’t have to go out and buy them.

List of materials to build the toy pan

This is the bill of materials. Take note:

• 3 empty plastic bottles of 1 or 2 liters, depending on the size of your pet;
• 1 wooden trunk or a PVC pipe;
• 2 wooden slats to arm the sides;
• 1 rectangular wooden base to fix the structure;
• Hammer, nails, screws, drill, glue, etc.

Instructions to assemble the toy feeder for your dogs

Follow these steps and, in no time, you will see how your pet will enjoy the toy you made yourself.

• First, make sure the plastic bottles are clean and dry;
• Perforate the bottles about 5 centimeters from the mouth, so that you can pass the wooden trunk or PVC pipe without inconvenience;

• Put some feed or some treat inside them;
• Cut the wooden slats to build the sides, at a height 10 to 15 greater than the width of the bottles;
• Drill a hole in the top of the slats;
• Insert the bottles and the trunk or PVC pipe;
• Fit the trunk – or the PVC pipe – to the previously drilled wooden slats;
• Use the glue to ensure this fitting doesn’t fall off when your dog starts playing non-stop;
• Fix this structure to the wooden base with nails or screws, from the bottom of the base;
• Check that the frame stands firmly on the base.

Is your dog having fun with your toy feeder?

What’s up? What did your dog think of this toy feeder you gave him as a gift? As we anticipated, it certainly wasn’t that easy for him to make his food prize. It’s just that the bottles are held upside down by the weight of the feed or treats.

But don’t doubt that your dog will have a lot of fun with the artifact, as his neurons will be stimulated. Below are pictures of another dog for you to see what happens to the toy feeder.

Play is essential for a dog. You should spend time with him daily to stimulate his mind and body with play and exercise. Even if it’s just a matter of throwing a ball for him to bring it back, it’s worth doing.

Remember that food is not a game.

It is important to emphasize that the toy pan is just a game, a game. Feeding your dog is another topic. Then:

• You must provide him with adequate food according to his age, size and weight;
• Don’t forget that it is preferable to use stainless steel bowls for food and water for pets;
• Keep a routine of times to feed your dog;
• Consult a veterinarian whenever you have any questions regarding your pet’s nutrition.

Good nutrition and lots of pampering, games and walks are the perfect combination for your dog to be a healthy and happy animal.
