Abstract
Abstract A pet feeder in the form of a feeding dish combined with containers for flowable materials which may be either liquid or granulated solid materials. The feeding dish has a slanting surface or ramp. A container for solid particulate material is positioned over the ramp to feed onto it. A liquid container having a discharge spout is positionable over the ramp which is provided with a flat ledge portion on which the spout normally rests, partially obstructing it and allowing flow through the remainder into the dish up to the level of the spout orifice. The liquid container is removable from the enclosure for filing and for use of the feeder for feeding solid material.
