minute while the feeder menu loads in the background. This is to give you an

ways to monitor your pet:

The Knox Pet Feeder doesn’t just let you feed your pet, it also keeps track of how

much food your pet has eaten over time. By allowing you to monitor food intake,

you can instantly know whether your little one is eating properly or not.

You can see this data by going to the Pettion app’s main menu and selecting

“Health”. From here you can see the following information:

• When the next scheduled feeding is, and how much will be dispensed

• How much food your pet has eaten today

• How much food your pet ate yesterday

• How much food your pet has eaten over a given month
