2.2 Conventional method of manually monitoring pets diet and
feeding
The original method to monitor pets diet at first is by manually
checking on their food and water content consistently since there is
no specific device that is capable of doing such an activity of
monitoring and feeding. Owner need to approach their pets eating
station and check on the content if is has reduced signifying if their
pet has eaten or not. Since the monitoring is visually applied,
precise data is not obtained, making it hard to properly monitor their
pet behavior and diet. This approach is inconvenient especially
because owners mostly have deeds to fulfill at workplace, thus there
is nobody at home to consistently monitor the food and drink
contents in the bowl. And since there is no specific database to store
information collected, the data obtained is more prone to lost and
scatter all around places in their home.
While leaving home for longer than owner usually do, the
conventional method of feeding usually filling the bowl of food and
drink to the maximum level possible or filling many bowls all at once
since there is no guarantee that a bowl could fulfill the needs to
feed pet for longer period of time, especially if there is more than a
pet. This method leads to a stale and contaminated food since they
