Abstract
A pet feeding device including a removable storage container for storing pet food and having a safety restriction device. The container has an opening to allow pet food to empty into a support containing a bowl. As food empties, it travels through the safety restriction device or ring, which is mounted on the container opening. The safety restriction device has a bar extending from its inner boundary to prevent a small pet from inserting its head into the main storage area.
