Project Details

Dogs have various dietary requirements.

We engineered the CleverPet Hub for maximum canine compatibility. The motorised ‘hopper’ can facilitate all sizes and shapes of dry dog food on the market without jamming or over-dispensing.

Large tactile touch pads have been durability tested for thousands of use cycles, with LED backlight colours scientifically selected for a dog’s colour-limited vision.

Outerspace engineers gave the CleverPet Hub smooth surfaces, paw-proof door latches, tough materials, and no overhangs graspable by tooth or claw, to prevent a dog from accessing the food storage area inside.

The Hub is designed to be durable and easy to maintain. It can be pulled apart for cleaning.
