Why you should avoid overfeeding or underfeeding pets

Poor eating habits are one of the leading causes of health problems in pets.

• Overfeeding : Leads to obesity, diabetes, and joint problems, especially in neutered cats and small dogs.

• Undernutrition : Weakens the immune system, reduces energy, and can cause serious nutritional imbalances.

• Irregularity : Meals given at variable times create anxiety and poor eating habits.

A vending machine allows you to program quantities and times, ensuring a regular and balanced diet.

Smart technologies in vending machines

The most innovative models are not simple containers, but intelligent tools :

• Meal planning : You can set precise times and millimeter quantities.

• App control : Connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing you to change settings remotely.

• Real-time monitoring : Get smartphone notifications when your meal is served or your tank is almost empty.

• Built-in camera (in some models): to monitor your pet while it eats.
