A smart pet feeder is an automated device that dispenses food for your pet according to a set schedule or on demand via an app. Here’s how it works:

1. Food Storage & Dispensing
  • The feeder has a storage container (hopper) where you put dry pet food.
  • It dispenses pre-measured portions using a motorized mechanism (like a rotating auger or conveyor belt).
2. Scheduling & Automation
  • You can set feeding times and portion sizes through a mobile app or directly on the feeder’s control panel.
  • Some feeders allow manual dispensing via a button or remote command.
3. Smart Features
  • Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Connectivity: This lets you control the feeder through an app from anywhere.
  • Cameras & Microphones (in advanced models): Allow you to monitor and talk to your pet.
  • Food Sensors: Detects if the bowl is empty or full.
  • Battery Backup: Keeps the feeder working even during power outages.
4. Health & Diet Tracking
  • Some feeders track food consumption and send alerts if your pet is not eating.
  • Ideal for pets on strict diets or with specific feeding schedules.
