A dog treat dispensing system includes a glove having electrical contacts mounted on the glove for being selectively placeable in contact with one another, and a treat dispenser mounted on the glove and having a treat storage compartment for storing first treats to be dispensed, a computer controller in electronic communication with the electrical contacts and selectively controllable to control operation of a treat conveyor operable to convey the treats from the treat storage compartment toward a dispensing outlet. When the user places the electrical contacts on the glove in contact with one another the computer controller operates the treat conveyor to dispense one of the treats from the dispensing outlet.

Various implementations include a counter system. The system includes a countertop portion, a barrier section, and one or more trays. The countertop portion has a front side and a back side. The barrier section is coupled to a bottom side of the countertop portion along the front side of the countertop. The barrier section is configured to support the countertop portion in use. The barrier section defines one or more openings therethrough. Each tray is aligned with one of the one or more openings and slidable relative to the barrier section between a retracted position and an extended position. Each of the trays is closer to the back side of the countertop in the extended position than it is in the retracted position. Each of the trays passes at least partially through its respective opening when sliding between the retracted position and the extended position.

A pet treat launching device includes: a launcher assembly and cover assembly. The launcher assembly includes: a housing, trigger, first spring, treat launch member, and second spring. The trigger moves in a housing track between first and second positions, being biased towards the first trigger position by the first spring. The treat launch member is coupled to the housing to slide between a launch position and a release position, and is biased by the second spring towards an open end of the housing, i.e., towards the launch position. The cover assembly, which includes a treat storage member that slidably receives a stacked plurality of pet treats, is configured to slidably couple to the launcher assembly at each of a plurality of different housing coupling positions, to accommodate launch of a corresponding plurality of different treat thicknesses. The trigger selectively engages and disengages with the second spring to accomplish treat launching.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a food delivery and feeding. An apparatus may comprise: a base; an ejection device configured to eject, via a food outlet on the apparatus, one or more of a plurality of food items; and a rotation device operably mounted to the ejection device. The rotation device may be configured to rotate the ejection device relative the base to cause a change to a direction of ejection of the one or more of the plurality of food items relative to the base. The rotation device may comprise a motor and a ring gear. The motor may be connected to the ring gear. The ring gear may be connected to a bracket assembly. The rotation of the bracket assembly may cause the rotation of the ejection device.

A pet food dispenser comprising a cylindrical body with a cutter rotatably attached at one end. A pressure plate threadedly mounted to a rotatable rod extrudes the pet food through the cutter as the rod is turned. Once extruded, the pet food can be cut off by rotation of the cutter. Sealing caps at either end allow any unused food to be stored within the dispenser without emitting odours.

A pet feeding device includes an accommodating body, a cover, a pivoting assembly and a counterweight. The accommodating body has an accommodating space. The cover is pivotally connected to the accommodating body and to close or open the accommodating space. The pivoting assembly is connected to the accommodating body and the cover and for pivotally connecting the cover on the accommodating body. The counterweight is separately connected to the accommodating body and includes a swinging end and a positioning end. The swinging end has a curved surface and is disposed on one end of the counterweight. The positioning end is disposed on the other end of the counterweight. When the swinging end of the counterweight contacts a ground, the pet feeding device is in a rolling state, and when the positioning end of the counterweight contacts the ground, the pet feeding device is in a positioning state.

A pet puzzle feeder includes: a housing; a treat chamber, a portion of which is rotatably received in a cavity of the housing; and an access cover. The housing has a pattern of openings on a spherical surface that define recesses that extend to a first radial depth and do not reach the cavity. A portion of those housing openings, being in three different regions of the housing, define conduits that extend to interconnect with the cavity. Different numbers or sizes of the opening on the three regions permit dispensing of treats at different rates, when the dispensing opening of the treat chamber is rotated/aligned therewith. A detent mechanism releasably inhibit treat chamber rotation when aligned with the openings in each region. A first color is used for the conduits, and a second color for the recesses, as a visual cue for the pet.

A system enables monitoring and improving one or more of the habits, diet, exercise, and activities related to a pet's health and includes a network having one or both of a smartphone and a personal computer connected to the network, a food preparation device connected to the network, and a server controlled by a system manager and connected to the network.

An apparatus including a cap section; a central section; a container section; and a first inner object. The cap section is configured to removably attach to a first end of the central section. The container section is configured to removably attach to a second end of the central section. The second end of the central section opposes the first end of the central section. The first inner object fits through a first opening of the central section into an inner chamber of the central section. The first opening of the central section is located at the second end of the central section. The first inner object does not fit through a second opening of the central section; and the second opening of the central section is located at the first end of the central section. The container section may be measuring cup including pet treats.

A dispenser for animals, adapted to dispensing water, potable liquids, granulated solids and other flowable consumables for consumption thereof, allows stable transport when belt mounted on a person of a user. Optionally, the dispenser can include one or more supplemental storage/dispensing portions mountably receivable to, or integral with, a tray portion of the dispenser.
