Petoneer: New Skin and Tail Tools
The smart bulb lights up when you need the light. The smart speaker automatically selects the playlist according to your mood.
Dinner is brought by courier (also smart) from your favorite delivery service. And only the cat should be fed from the bag in the old fashioned way, when at five o’clock in the morning it starts to ask for breakfast.
So that sleep does not stop in the morning, and the animal is satisfied, there are tools: a whole “ecosystem” for Petoneer. They will feed, drink, help with cleaning – and you just have to enjoy the company of a tailed friend.
The attentive reader will remember that we have already written about Petoneer tools, and more than once.
They are produced by our partners, we help them to improve the line, for which we collect user reviews and test the devices ourselves.
There are many changes in the new models, from small cosmetic models to large structural models. And it’s enough to make the next generation of pet care devices.
The Petoneer “ecosystem” helps the busy owner of a cat or dog. If you don’t have time to feed the cat before going to work, press the button and the device will do it for you.
But the widespread transition to remote work has changed the way we live quite a bit. These tools now help not to go crazy in everyday life.
Don’t have time to feed the cat before a work call? Press a button and it won’t jump on your laptop, keeping your colleagues, clients and bosses happy.
(Yes, we know cats don’t work that exact way and would like a keyboard anyway. We think they do a lot with a feeder. Plus, Petoneer has a solution for that problem too. Stay tuned!).
Nutri Mini Feeder and Nutri Vision Mini Feeder
For whom: small and medium breed dogs and cats.
What they do: Feed pets dry pet food.
Features: Cat intrusion protection, ergonomic form factor, power backup and camera optimized for the Vision model.
The nutrients in Nutri dry cat food are brilliantly simple. The feed is poured into the bowl and the impeller separates its portions and dumps it into a bowl.
Feeding is done at the touch of a button or on an app schedule. The number of servings and the number of meals are also determined – the animal will always be full and will not eat much.
Of course, for the application to work, the device is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz.
However, the previous generation of feeders was prone to “cat hack”. Particularly astute cats will move the bowl around and stick their paw into the feeder to turn the impeller and pour out some crunchy ones. Dogs in our experience don’t do this due to their lack of flexibility.
The Nutri Mini and Nutri Vision Mini Feeder models do not have this weakness. The new design is protected from sly paws: the impeller is placed higher, in the removable part of the feed tank. The palm won’t get there at all, and it won’t do any good to take away the food.
True, the volume of the feeder has decreased to 2.6 liters. And it looks prettier from the outside. The removable bowl is now more comfortable and has angled edges to make it easier for your pet to use. And on the lid of the feeder there was a compartment for a dehumidifier – with it, the food did not get wet.
The feeder is powered from the mains, but has an “emergency” power supply – from four LR14 batteries. If there is a power outage, the feeder will switch to batteries and work off the grid, but according to a predetermined schedule.
The difference between the Nutri Mini and Nutri Vision Mini Feeder models is that the latter has a camera and microphone along with a speaker. This means that with the feeder app you can follow the pet – at least when he turns in front of the device – and communicate with him.
The camera has a good resolution – more than the previous generation’s power camera: 1080p x 720p. Also, the camera angle has increased: the previous version is 120 degrees and the new version is 130 degrees.
Also, the camera aims to capture more of the bowl and the pet next to the bowl. True, there is no infrared lighting – therefore, in the dead of night, the animal will dine without your supervision.
NutriSpin Feeder
For whom: small and medium breed dogs and cats.
What it does: Gives 6 servings of any food.
Benefits: Foot protection, backup power supply, adjustable power schedule.
The NutriSpin Feeder is an all-new Petoneer feeder that is compatible with any type of food whether wet, dry or natural.
Contains 6 compartments of 200ml each. Contains 120 grams of dry food. Top tray with compartments lid with window. You turn the tray over – and the animal can have a snack.
The feeder is controlled by buttons on the body and via the app, which connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The app is more convenient to use, the physical interface with buttons is not very intuitive and you will have to deal with the manual.
Both methods allow you to feed a portion immediately or schedule up to 5 meals. That is, you can set up the device once and fill it with food, with peace of mind stay at work late: the pet will not remain hungry.
The tray stays securely in place even with the engine off. We tried not to turn over – that is, the animal could not have lunch on its own.
Some pets may get their paws caught in the compartment when the tray starts to rotate. This moment is also provided: the reverse gear turns on automatically, and then the tray stops and turns in a minute.
The feeder is powered by the mains or by four LR14 batteries. In the latter case, the four-legged friend will be fed even if the power is off (or a wire is accidentally pulled).
Pitoner Frisco Pro mustache
For whom: small and medium breed dogs and cats.
What it does: Gives pets clean water to drink.
Advantages: 3-stage filtration system, large tank, water quality control.
Dogs and cats that eat dry food need lots of clean, fresh water. And the Pitonnière drinkers solve this problem. Thanks to the pump, the water circulates in the tank and hits the drinking fountain cover with the drinking fountain, after which it flows again. In the process, the filter removes debris and contaminants.
If something works fine, leave it as it is and don’t screw it up. Therefore, Petoneer Fresco Pro is a twin brother of Petoneer Fresco Ultra.
Both drinkers have a similar design: a two-liter water tank with electronic filling is placed in the case and is covered with a lid with a filter on top. The filter, pump and its gasket can be changed as they wear out. Ultra has an additional UV lamp for water disinfection. The Pro model works without it.
The device is controlled via an app on a smartphone that connects to it via Wi-Fi. This is not necessary: the backlight color of the box will indicate whether the filter needs to be replaced or water needs to be added.
But through the application it is much more convenient to adjust the settings. Displays the water quality, which is determined by the hardness sensor and the water level.
The app sends notifications about changing the filter, about needing to clean the pump or add water. In addition, it is always available and allows you to control the water cooler remotely: even from the next room, even from the office.
Professional deodorant
Why: to equip cat trays.
What it does: Eliminates odors.
Benefits: Purifies the air and eliminates bad odors.
Disinfection and disinfection is another important area in which Petoneer is developing. A home with pets always needs extra cleaning, especially when it comes to cat litter. Odor Eliminator Pro takes away some of the headaches for homeowners. With this box, the tray is more hygienic and does not emit a strong smell.
It is actually ozone that is installed inside or on top of the cat litter box – it is affixed to the tape. The device releases ozone on a timer. The odor eliminator is equipped with an infrared sensor: when the sensor detects movement, the device pauses for a minute so that the cat has time to finish its work.
By the way, the gadget is also connected to the application, but the available functions are minimal. You can see the operations schedule, the battery charge: that’s all.
Our team pets have been using Petoneer Tools for a long time. As far as we know, there were no complaints: on the contrary, tailed and furry users quickly got used to the devices. And it makes it easier for us to work and go, knowing that cats and dogs don’t stay home hungry.
