A smart pet care system includes: a pet care device adapted to feed and water a pet and to transmit status information related to the pet to an external device; a smartphone controlling the pet care device based on input information from a user; and a management server transmitting care information for caring for the pet to the smartphone based on the status information and preset setting information.

An animal feeding apparatus can include a container shaped to hold food or water and a support to which the container can be removably mounted and releasably locked. The support can be configured to prevent the container from tipping while enabling easy removal of the container from the support for cleaning or replacement.

A splash-guard system; the splash-guard system includes a guard-member, a base-member, and a mat. The splash-guard system is useful for confining splashes or spills from a pet bowl to the splash-guard system such that a pet owner does not need to regularly clean the surrounding area of the pet bowl when a pet makes a mess when feeding. The splash-guard system serves to prevent constant cleaning and damage to the surrounding floor and walls.

A pet food and water bowl apparatus includes a first bowl which is configured to contain water for a pet to drink, and the completely surround a support structure on which a second bowl for food in mounted. Surrounding the support structure with water prevent crawling insects from getting to the food in the second bowl. The second bowl is also configured to prevent food from falling into the water in the first bowl through changes in orientation of the second bowl.

Techniques for monitoring the individual feed and water intake and pharmaceutical use and unmetabolized residual alerting in the livestock industry. Livestock have sensors installed on or in their bodies to detect consumption of feed and water for each animal in an environment where multiple animals are present. Sensors communicate data regarding the duration and timing of individual animals feeding habits. Health and efficiency status data is recorded per animal and analyzed to determine whether to issue an alert indicating problems with individual animals. The system tracks the health and efficiency data for each animal, pen or farm and generates statistical information regarding the sensor data. The system communicates with user interface to display notifications and statistical data. In addition, the pharmaceutical monitoring system alerts when any unmetabolized residual pharmaceuticals are still in the animals when the animal is being readied for shipping to a packing plant.

A mat for bowls is described herein. A mat can include a planar portion, a shell structure, and an extension member shaped to form a cavity in the mat, where the cavity is to cause a partial vacuum in response to the mat being in contact with an underlying surface such that lateral displacement of the mat is restricted when in contact with the underlying surface.
