Overview

The facts

• In 2012, over half of dogs in US were overweight or obese
• Over 10 million pets are lost per year and only a tenth of them are found

The Problem

Raising pets brings happiness to families and teach youth responsibility in an engaging meaningful way. However, keeping pets fed and healthy is not always an easy task. When multiple people share the responsibility of feeding the same pets, a problem emerges: family members cannot track when a pet needs food unless they schedule feeding, or effectively communicate. Second, finding a lost pet always causes a lot of trouble to pet owners. Creating and distributing lost pet posters to find a lost pet is not only cumbersome, it is not effective. We believe that a mobile app along with a location sensing tag can help people with these issues. The tag which is attached to the pet’s collar, would have a built-in GPS sensor and a button to record feeding activity. This app, Kibble, would track pet’s location to find their pet, and allow pet owners to make sure their pet is getting the correct diet.
