As the bond between pet owners and their furry companions grows stronger, the demand for products that ensure their well-being and simplify daily care routines has never been higher. Recognizing this need, PRADCO Outdoor Brands has unveiled the Blazer Automatic Dog Feeder under its newly formed brand, SimplePets. This innovative product promises to be a game-changer in the pet industry, offering both convenience and health benefits for medium to large dogs.
Chris Blood, the General Manager of SimplePets, brings over 26 years of experience in the automatic feeder industry to this new venture. His background, particularly his long tenure with Texas Hunter Products, has been instrumental in the creation of the Blazer Dog Feeder. “We’ve been working on the concept of an automatic dog feeder for several years,” Blood explained. “Designing an automatic dog feeder was a natural first step into the pet category.”
Key Features of the Blazer Automatic Dog Feeder
The Blazer Dog Feeder is packed with features that set it apart from other feeders on the market. One of the most significant is its large capacity, designed with medium to large dogs in mind. Capable of storing up to 40 pounds of dog food, it doubles as a food storage container, ensuring that pet owners don’t have to worry about frequent refills. The feeder operates on a rechargeable battery, allowing it to be placed anywhere, indoors or outdoors, without the need for a power outlet.
One of the standout features is the patent-pending feeding system, which has been rigorously tested to accommodate all sizes of dog food kibble without clogging or requiring adjustments. This system ensures that pets receive their meals consistently and reliably. The feeder also offers the flexibility of dispensing customized meal portions up to nine times per day, with the option for ‘slow feeding’ to help prevent gulping and promote healthy digestion. The large, 8-cup stainless steel bowl, which is dishwasher safe, further adds to the feeder’s convenience.
Durability Meets Convenience
The Blazer Dog Feeder isn’t just about functionality; it’s built to last. Constructed from powder-coated galvanized steel, it is rugged enough for outdoor use. The feeder’s lock-tight lid with a metal latch ensures that food stays fresh and protected from curious pets, while a metal liner under the lid prevents access by squirrels and raccoons. The feeder also features a clear sight gauge on the front, allowing for easy monitoring of the food level without opening the lid.
Blood emphasized the ease of use and durability of the Blazer, noting that the timer, the heart of the feeder, has been field-tested for decades in Texas Hunter feeders and comes with a five-year warranty. “The timer is so easy to set, you can throw away the instructions,” Blood said. “It’s designed to keep dogs healthy and happy by feeding the right portions on a daily routine.”
The Bigger Picture
The Blazer Automatic Dog Feeder represents more than just a new product; it marks PRADCO Outdoor Brands’ commitment to the pet industry. Phil Chandler, General Manager of PRADCO PET, highlighted the company’s long heritage of designing and engineering reliable feeders. “While we’re new to the pet category, we come from a long heritage of designing, engineering, and patenting highly reliable automatic feeders,” Chandler explained. He also hinted at future innovations, including a line of ‘Smart Pet Feeders’ set to be introduced next year.
Available in Desert Tan and Gunmetal Gray, the Blazer Dog Feeder is not just a practical solution for pet owners but also a stylish addition to any home. Priced at $849, with a current promotion bringing it down to $749 through the end of the year, it offers exceptional value for those looking to enhance their pet care routine.
Conclusion
In an age where convenience and pet health go hand in hand, the Blazer Automatic Dog Feeder by PRADCO Outdoor Brands is poised to make a significant impact. With its innovative design, robust construction, and thoughtful features, it promises to be a trusted companion for pet owners looking to ensure their dogs are well-fed and cared for, whether they are home or away.
