If your furry pet eats for three or, on the contrary, turns up her nose at food every day, think about purchasing a smart bowl.
These high-tech inventions do not deserve to be called ordinary feeders, because they are real assistants in controlling the nutrition of our pets.
What is a smart bowl
We are talking about automated feeding devices that contain various sensors and functions.
It helps control the amount and time of food intake, monitor portion sizes. And some models are even able to recognize a cat by a microchip or collar with an RFID tag.
Benefits of Smart Bowls
The first advantage of smart bowls is precise portion control. The device measures out the exact amount of food, so it is indispensable for pet owners who have weight problems.
In addition, you can count on regular feeding: the smart bowl gives out "treats" according to a set schedule, regardless of whether the owner of the animal is present at home. Again, the function is indispensable for cats that are prone to overeating, as well as for those who need to be fed often, but in small portions.
The third advantage is the individual approach: as mentioned earlier, if there are several meowing pets in the house, the smart bowl is able to recognize each of them and give out a personalized portion of food.
Smart bowls allow you to track your cat's food intake and feeding times via a smartphone app, helping you detect changes in appetite that may indicate health problems.
Some models are equipped with sealed storage systems, which help keep food fresh longer than in regular open bowls.
There are smart bowls that turn the feeding process into a game where the cat must "get" food for itself. With it, the purr will definitely not get bored and will not be left without physical exercise.
Finally, for cats who eat quickly, there are models with a slow feed function to prevent digestive problems.
