A pet feeding apparatus includes a feed tank, a discharge tank, and an ejection assembly. The feed tank includes an accommodation chamber and a discharge outlet communicating with the accommodation chamber. The discharge tank includes an ejection outlet, an inlet, and an ejection chamber located between the ejection outlet and the inlet. The inlet communicates with the discharge outlet of the feed tank. The ejection assembly includes a rotation blade and a driving member. The rotation blade is received in the ejection chamber, and the rotation blade includes a rotation shaft and a blade extending from the rotation shaft. The driving member is connected to the rotation shaft and is capable of driving the rotation shaft to rotate with respect to the ejection chamber, so that the driving member drives the blade to swing from the inlet toward the ejection outlet.

A container of pet food and an apparatus for preparing the pet food are disclosed. The apparatus includes a scanner for reading a pet food identifier on the container. The scanner is adapted to read the pet food identifier and provide it to a controller. The controller is adapted to obtain food preparation parameters from an external database and to cause the apparatus to then prepare the pet food according thereto. The containers has an identically-shaped periphery and the apparatus is adapted to receive that periphery such that each container is properly positioned regardless of the container's volume.

A smart feeder includes a food storage chamber and a rotating push plate mechanism. The food storage chamber conveys food to the rotating push plate mechanism through a conveying device, and the rotating push plate mechanism is configured to rotate and hit the food. The rotating push plate mechanism includes a rotating push plate, a first driving mechanism and a food passage. The food passage is in communication with an outlet of the food storage chamber, and the rotating push plate is rotatably installed inside the food passage. The first driving mechanism is configured to drive the rotating push plate to rotate. The food passage includes an outlet segment and a hitting cavity, and the outlet segment is tangent to the hitting cavity. The hitting cavity is in communication with the outlet of the food storage chamber. The rotating push plate is rotatably installed in the hitting cavity.

A low-profile disk-shaped base member which is designed for placement on a ground surface or floor, where the base member includes an elevated central hub portion with an opening extending therethrough. A lower cap element is releasably connectable in sealed relation to the hub from the bottom of the base member to form a cavity or chamber below the central opening in the base member. The chamber houses a rotatable ball or spherically shaped liquid delivery mechanism within its confines which extends upwardly through the central opening in the base member. The chamber is adapted to store a liquid consumable product, such as a liquid supplement or treat, for controlled delivery to the pet as the pet licks the ball.

An animal puzzle bowl is disclosed having a plurality of sockets and a lid with a coupling joint configured to couple with those sockets in a plurality of orientations. The lid may include elements such as a lip or grip for an animal to interact with to allow for opening of the lid so the animal may reach the contents of the bowl. The lids may also include holes so the animal may be encouraged to interact with the bowl by the sight or smell of food or other items of interest. The bowl base can include more than one bowl to allow for a combination of lids to be used. By varying the combination and orientation of the lids an animal must problem solve to reach a desired item in the bowl each time, thus mentally stimulating the animal.

A base of an animal training apparatus 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 base for pet feeder and a pet feeder for eating or drinking of pets are provided. The base includes a main body portion and a plurality of adjusting mechanisms. The main body portion includes a first side and a second side, the second side is disposed opposite to the first side, and the first side is configured to contain food or water. The plurality of the adjusting mechanisms are disposed at the second side of the main body portion at intervals, each of the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms is capable of providing at least three heights. Each of the plurality of the adjusting mechanisms includes a first supporting plate and a second supporting plate. The first supporting plate includes a first part and a second part, the first part is rotatably connected to the second side.

Embodiments include a portable pet food container comprising a main body having a flexible top end, a flat bottom end, and an internal compartment extending between the top end and the bottom end for storing pet food. The top end comprises a spring-assisted fastener configured to snap open when moved to a first position and snap closed when moved to a second position. The spring-assisted fastener may include a pair of flexible bands and a pair of flex springs, each band having a first end coupled to a first one of the springs and a second end coupled to a second one of the springs, the fastener moving to the first position by pulling the two bands away from each other and moving to the second position by pressing the two bands towards each other. The container may be attached to a wearable device to facilitate portability.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a food delivery and feeding. An apparatus may comprise: a housing, the housing comprising a housing outlet; and a storage compartment contained within the housing the storage compartment configured to store a plurality of food items for feeding one or more pets. The storage compartment may comprise a storage compartment outlet and two rotatable wheels. The apparatus may also comprise an ejection device contained within the housing. The ejection device may be configured to eject one or more of the plurality of food items. Rotation of the two rotatable wheels causes the one or more of the plurality of food items to move from the storage compartment through the storage compartment outlet to the ejection device.
