FINAL PROJECT
I own two dogs in my yard. One of the factors I struggle with is feeding them on a consistent schedule to my busy workdays, travel and other commitments. And this usually results in issues like underfeeding, overfeeding, irregular meal times or even not being fed altogether, which can lead to poor health, obesity, digestive issues or anxiety in pets. I am proposing to come up with an automatic feederfor my dogs that can accurately dispense food at set times, ensure proper portion sizes and accomodate their feeding habits. This product should offer convenience, reliabity , and ease of use, allowing me to maintain a healthy feeding routine for my pets, even when I am not home.
RESEARCH
An automatic pet feeder is provided for feeding pets predetermined quantity of food or medication at predetermined times while the owner is absent or otherwise engaged. The pet feeder comprises a base, a feeding bowl with pie shaped divisions, a timer module, a bowl cover, handle to bowl cover and locking mechanism to hold the entire unit in place. A timer is provided with voice recording facility and also initiates programmed feeding schedules. The programming of the timer determines when the feeder cover is indexed so that the pet may have access to the food provided in it. This programming can be done through the timer interface RF or IR remotes and or through an USB port interface to a computer.
