A vessel, e.g., a bowl, suited for holding water or foodstuff for use as a pet bowl or human kitchen houseware may be. The bowl may have a modular design to allow for different portions of the bowl to have different attributes. The vessel is scaled for use by pets or humans. Generally, this means that an inner surface of the vessel defines a volumetric space of 60 cubic centimeters to 30 liters for holding water or foodstuff. The bowl has a water level, and, at the water level, the surface area of the bowl may be 56 cm to 900 square cm. To facilitate lifting and gripping by one or two human hands of a user, the vessel's outer surface may include one or more graspable elements disposed between the top and bottom of the vessel. Each graspable element is configured to receive one or more fingers of a user so that the user can grasp or otherwise engage the graspable element and lift the bowl from a surface when the bowl is upright on the surface.

A pet feeding system includes a generally hollow main body having openings along the top surface for receiving a food dish and a water dish. A fan is positioned along another opening in the bottom surface of the main body that is located in line with the food dish. A heating plate having a removable tray is positioned between the fan and the food dish. The tray is constructed from a heat conducting material and imparts heat from the heating plate onto a material. Aroma produced by the scented material is moved by the fan toward air vents in the food bowl, and a pair of locking rings secure the bowls to the main body to prevent a pet from accessing the scented material.

An animal interaction device with a base, a housing, and a feeding mechanism having a rotatable platform mounted on the top surface of the base to rotate about an axis of rotation. There is a low profile drive cavity between the platform and the base and a food tray disposed on a top surface of the platform. A drive mechanism is located within the drive cavity and includes a drive mechanism with a curved rack gear engaged with the rotatable platform. There is a horizontally disposed worm drive mounted in communication with the curved rack gear to enable rotation of the rotatable platform about the axis of rotation. As the platform is rotated, the food tray moves from a first position where the tray is concealed under the housing to a second position outside of the housing, thereby allowing access to the food tray by an animal.

A base of an animal training includes a dispenser that comprises a storage compartment configured to store rewards and to dispense rewards, a base signaling module configured to generate a reward signal, and a base wireless module configured to receive a dispense signal. A first target is detached from the base at a first target location at a first fixed distance from the base. The first target comprises a first target signaling module, a first sensor, and a first target wireless module. A second target is disposed at a second location, wherein the second location is a fixed distance from the base and comprises a second target signaling module, a second sensor, and a second target wireless module. The base further comprises a system configuration module, the system configuration module configured to access and modify configuration information of the dispenser, the first target, and the second target.

A pet food container includes a hollow body including a top, a bottom, and an outer surface disposed between the top and the bottom.
