A liner for animal feeders designed to receive dry and moist food and liquid beverage to be consumed by the animal. Most animal feeders usually comprise a tray or dish in the nature of a bowl to receive the dry food or liquid. The liner is sized and shaped to fit over the bowl and has a base wall and an enclosing side wall with an open top. The side wall integrally merges into a rim and a downwardly struck peripheral flange with the latter to engage the exterior surface of the animal feeder sidewall. A plurality of liners are nestable in each other and are capable of being packaged in the nested condition.

[ Having thus described the invention, what I desire to claim and secure by letters patent is:] [1.] A combination of a removable and disposable Liner for use with and in combination with an animal feeder of the type having an exterior wall and an inwardly presented continuous interior wall defining an interior cavity for receipt of food or liquid and an upper rim which is integral between and connects the interior wall and the exterior wall of the feeder, said combination comprising:a) a liner enclosing side wall fitted within the interior cavity of the animal feeder and snugly engaging the inwardly presented continuous interior wall which defines the cavity of the animal feeder;b) a peripheral exterior flange on said wall of said liner engaging the exterior wall of said animal feeder sized and shaped to snugly, but nevertheless, removably retain said liner on the animal feeder;c) a rim on said liner which is integral between and connects the exterior flange of the liner to the enclosing side wall of the liner and which is engaged with the upper rim on the animal feeder, said rim of said liner and said peripheral exterior flange on said liner being in intimate contact with the rim of the feeder and the exterior wall of the feeder and the enclosing side wall of the liner being sized to be in intimate contact with the continuous interior wall of the feeder when the liner is disposed on the feeder;d) mechanical fastener means for cooperatively connecting the liner to the animal feeder at or adjacent to the region of the upper rim on the animal feeder and the rim on the liner to prevent unauthorized removal of the liner from the interior cavity, said mechanical fastener means comprising a clip which extends through alignable openings in the rim of the liner and the upper rim of the animal feeder to enable a releasible attachment of the liner to the animal feeder; ande) said liner being formed of a material which is of a thin plastic material, non-toxic to animals using the animal feeder and which is relatively thin so as to be crumbled and disposable.
