Catspad
As with all revolutions
we start with the death of
something. In the case of
the pet care revolution
we start with the death of
analogue pet care (maybe a few mice along the way too).
Front and center of the pet-care revolution is the Catspad
- the cat food and water dispenser that allows you to
schedule your cats' meals and monitor their nutrition from
anywhere in the world using our purrfect mobile application! Our mission is to help cat owners take care of their
companions in a practical, healthy and natural way.
Catspad is equipped with a waterproof dry food storage
unit to prevent oxidation, and can hold up to a month's
worth of food. Its system also allows the cat to feed in
small quantities throughout the day and to provide her
with fresh, filtered, running water. The mobile app makes
remote pet nutiritional care possible, monitoring exactly
how much food and water is left in the Catspad and feed
delivery amounts.
Viva la pet-care revolution, viva la Catspad!
