7.1 General Overview
Pets bring great joy to their owners but also require a lot of care. In certain situations, such as traveling, owners need solutions to ensure their pets are well taken care of. Modern technology offers excellent possibilities for addressing these challenges.
7.2 Automatic Pet Feeding
- There are automated feeding systems that store pet food for a set period.
- The system dispenses food in appropriate portions at intervals determined by the owner.
- Pets cannot access the food before the scheduled feeding time.
- This allows pet owners to focus on other tasks without needing to manually feed their pets frequently.
7.3 Remote Feeding, Monitoring, and Communication
Modern feeding systems allow remote feeding when pet owners are at work or traveling.
- Remote feeding means food is pre-loaded into a dispenser, which releases meals at scheduled times.
- Live video monitoring allows owners to check on their pets while they eat and observe their behavior.
- Two-way communication can be set up so that the pet can hear the owner’s voice and even see them on a screen.
7.4 Long-Term Automated Pet Care
For long-term pet care, additional considerations must be made, especially regarding waste management.
- Cats can be left alone for extended periods with an automatic litter box and food dispenser.
- Dogs need access to outdoor areas for bathroom breaks, requiring automated doors or pet-sitting arrangements.
7.5 GPS Tracking for Pets
- Pets can be monitored using GPS tracking systems.
- The owner’s phone or computer always displays the pet’s location, ensuring their safety.
