Abstract
A feeder for pets and other animals. The feeder is comprised of a top feed storage and hopper leading to a metering valve. The valve is of hollow cylindrical construction having an axial slot which acts as a fill opening and when rotated to selected positions acts as a weir where feed can overflow to an underlying weather protected animal feeding compartment. The hopper comprises plates which may be removed for ready filling of the entire feeder for self-feeding purposes. The compartment has a dish shaped bottom and may receive a congruent feed dish in nesting relation.
