A smart home for the furrier members of the family

The Smart Home now caters for our furry, four-legged friends.

Petnet has introduced the automatic feeder for cats and dogs; a device which controls and regulates how much, and when, your furry friend eats their food. The Smartfeeder has a built-in rechargeable battery, and a, crucially, chew resistant USB cable and A/C adapter for those teething puppies.

However, the Smartfeeder is named ‘smart’ for a reason. The device does not only feed your pet at regular times, but relays information wirelessly to iOS devices; giving pet owners the control to remotely feed their pets when they’re away from home.

Petnet app features:

• Control your pet’s feeding from your smartphone
• Manage feeding times and perfect portion sizes
• Matches your pet with ideal food recipes
• Convenient delivery brings pet food to your doorstep

In one of their blog posts, Petnet gave their ‘Top 10 Reasons You Should Use The SmartFeeder’.

1. ‘It’s personalized care’: the app inputs your pet’s weight, age, activity level and their food type.
2. ‘It guides you to healthy portions’: no more guesswork or overflowing the bowl under the pressure of puppy eyes.
3. ‘It keeps you connected’: status notifications keep the owner in the loop.
4. ‘It gives you the freedom to feed from anywhere’: no more worrying if you miss your train, or have to stay late at work.
5. ‘It monitors your food supply’: Petnet alerts the user when the food supply is running low .
6. ‘It prevents overfeeding with precise portions’: the Petnet app explains how much the dog or cat should be eating, and then the SmartFeeder releases the correct weight of food.
7. ‘It’s high quality food recommendations’: Petnet analyses nutrition and ingredients from a database of over 3,000 pet foods to personalize a recommendation for the pet.
8. ‘It’s better than other automatic feeders’: The only automatic feeder to ensure customized food portions, and can dispense as little as a 1/16^th of a cup.
9. ‘It tracks your feeding history’: Helpful data to share with the vet and to keep an eye on your pet’s well-being and health.
10. ‘It’s peace of mind’: Portion control and status alerts allow owners to ensure pets have been fed.

This technology, in combination with the app, covers every step of feeding a pet; from scheduling convenient delivery of pet food straight to the owner’s doorstep to sending wireless status confirmation of food delivery.
