Age in Place Happily With Your Pets

Living with a pet offers companionship, just ask any cat or dog lover. Evidence suggests that you can in fact age in place happily with your pets, and that your relationship with your pet can:

• Contribute to maintaining physical function;
• Provide companionship and purpose; and
• Facilitate social interactions and lead to a heightened sense of community

If a loved one is enjoying the companionship of a pet and you worry about whether the pet is getting fed on a regular basis, worry no more. The Wi-Fi-connected Petnet SmartFeeder not only doles out exact portions of food and lets you trigger feedings from your phone it also monitors your loved one’s dog or cat’s caloric intake and provides nutritional information too.

Automatic pet feeders provide an easy way for your loved one to age in place happily with their pets and have the ability to feed their cat and/or dog when you can’t be there to make sure they’re being fed or to feed them yourself. It not only serves up timed, controlled portions, it provides analytical information about the food you’re serving and even goes so far as to suggest portion sizes and types of food based on your pet’s age, weight, and activity level.

Pets Are The Perfect Companion 

The SmartFeeder consists of a feeder base, a hopper for food, a bowl, and a stainless steel bowl insert, a USB cable and power adapter – the feeder is matte black and the hopper is translucent black, allowing you to easily view the food level within.

Age in place happily with your pets thanks to the innovation of PetNet SmartFeeder that contains Wi-Fi to connect to your home network, a rechargeable battery that will power the feeder for up to three days if you lose power, and a built-in scale that measures the amount of food being served. The feeder’s seven-pound capacity holds enough kibble to feed your or your loved one’s pet for up to two weeks based on two one-cup servings per day.

The SmartFeeder app works with Android and iOS mobile devices. The cleverly designed app opens to a home page that has a photo and the name of your cat or dog. Below the photo is a panel that shows a daily count of the number of feeds (both automatic and manual), the amount of food (in cups), and the amount of calories for each day. You can also see the same information from the previous day.

The SmartFeeder Pet page displays profile information that you enter during setup. Here you can view and edit your pet’s age, weight, activity level (Inactive, Average, Active), and photo. The Food page allows you to view and edit the brand and recipe of food that you use. It also displays a nutritional profile including calories per cup, protein, fat, and carb percentages, and a report card that grades the food based on things like real meat content, filler ingredients, by-products, and artificial coloring.

The Petnet SmartFeeder is an excellent choice for older adult pet owners who want to age in place happily with their pets and regulate their pet’s feeding schedule. The app does a great job of tracking your loved one’s cat or dog’s meals, and will warn you if a feeding is skipped or when the hopper is running low on food, and it will make recommendations as to the type and amount of food you’re loved one is giving his or her pet based on its age, weight, and activity level.
