#TechJuice: New Gadget Lets You Feed Your Pet From A Smartphone

Interesting...

Did you know that over 50% of the nation's pets are obese?

This little doohickey is pretty darn handy. I have friends with pets who complain about not being able to feed their furry friends during the day while they work. Well, now they have an answer!

Once connected to the wireless network in your home, you can activate the feeder from anywhere using a mobile app. Feedings can also be automated. The Pintofeed is capable of programming itself, and creating a personalized feeding schedule for you and your furry friend.

If you have more than one furball at home, you can control several Pintofeeds from the same account. Multiple users can also be given access to the same Pintofeeds, ensuring that Fido gets fed even if Mom is out of town.

Once your pet has been fed, you can choose to be notified via SMS, Twitter or even Facebook. 

I smell a perfect holiday gift! These lil buggers are still in the prototype phase, but if its up your alley, you can donate to the cause at Indiegogo.
