The apparatus operates to provide a constant supply of food and drink respectively in a food dish and a drinking vessel. The food is automatically supplied to the food dish by means of a hopper and the liquid passes from the liquid container through a special cap into a reservoir which is in communication with the drinking vessel. The liquid container is removably mounted in clips formed integrally with the hopper and the cap includes a pivotally mounted flap arranged so that the flap can be opened when the liquid container is inserted into the clips and the cap is pressed downwardly into the reservoir. | |
