Animal caregivers often struggle to provide timely and appropriate nutrition to their cared-for animals when away from home. Leaving food in a bowl could lead to overeating or a shortage, and it might not always be possible to rely on friends or relatives to feed the animals. In order to allay these worries, there is a growing need for automatic pet feeders specially designed to address concerns of multi-pet household. Feeding pets can be challenging, and managing multiple pets escalates the difficulty. However, this feeder streamlines the process by employing Artificial Intelligence to provide the needs of multiple pets, while avoiding cross-feeding, making the task even more manageable. The system's goal is to handle pet with different food varieties and to distribute specific type and amount of food that are suited for each animal without the caregiver's intervention. An automated pet feeder incorporating Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things is a modern solution to develop a model for animal food dispenser. It is a creative solution for multi-pet household and ensures animals well-being as it allows for automated cleaning, feeder management, remote monitoring, and the ability to reorder food for increased convenience.
