What food is best for an automatic feeder?

An automatic feeder will dispense food when you tell it to every day until it runs out of food in the drum, or the batteries run out. But food would run out first. Most auto feeders will comfortably cover a 14 day holiday period, or much longer if only small amounts of food were fed, and only once per day.
