🐾 DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INDICATING FED STATUS OF A PET
Patent-Pending Innovation for Smarter Pet Care
The Problem
In multi-person households or busy lifestyles, it’s easy to forget whether the pet has already been fed. This leads to overfeeding, underfeeding, and pet obesity, now affecting over 50% of dogs and cats in North America. Overfeeding not only causes health risks but also unnecessary food costs and veterinary expenses.
The Solution
The Device and Method for Indicating Fed Status of a Pet provides a simple, mechanical, and visual reminder system that shows whether a pet has been fed — no batteries, no apps, no confusion.
It helps families, roommates, and caregivers easily communicate feeding status at a glance.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Mechanical Indicator System – Users can rotate, slide, or toggle a visible marker to show meal status.
✅ No Batteries or Electronics – 100% manual operation, reliable and eco-friendly.
✅ Customizable Display Options – Uses numbers, symbols, or shapes (e.g., bones, paws, cat faces) to represent meal count.
✅ Integrated or Standalone – Can be built into feeding bowls, bowl stands, or attached to existing dishes and surfaces.
✅ Multi-Pet Friendly – Track multiple feedings or pets with multi-indicator versions.
✅ Prevents Overfeeding – Encourages consistent meal tracking for pet health and weight control.
✅ Simple, Affordable Design – Easy for manufacturers to produce using low-cost materials.
How It Works
- Feed your pet.
- Rotate, press, slide, or toggle the indicator control.
- The device displays a visible icon or number showing the latest feeding status — such as “Fed”, “Full”, or meal count (1, 2, 3).
- Anyone in the household can instantly see whether the pet has been fed.
Market Opportunity
- Over 16 million household pets in Canada and over 90 million in the U.S.
- Growing demand for simple, health-focused pet products.
- Ideal for pet owners, seniors, families, and multi-pet households.
- Perfect product line extension for pet accessory brands, retailers, or pet-tech companies seeking a low-cost innovation to complement feeding solutions.
