Abstract
The animal feeding reminder includes a food handling apparatus which comprises a food scoop, a food bowl, or a food container for the transportation, selling, or purchasing of animal food. Date or time indicia are associated with the food handling apparatus. A marker is associated with the food handling apparatus and moveable relative to the indicia. The marker selectively identifies a distinct date or time from the date or time indicia. A marker positioning mechanism is associated with the marker, the apparatus, or both. The marker positioning mechanism securely holds the marker so as to identify the distinct date or time and prevent accidental or unintended movement of the marker to another date or time. Therefore, the marker can be selectively moved to identify the distinct date or time after each use of the food handling apparatus to remind a user of a last time an animal was fed.
