| | Abstract | Every day, dog owners must make sure that their dogs get enough food |
| | and water that maintains the dietary needs. A yearly checkup is also |
| | required to make sure dogs stay at their healthiest. Sometimes more |
| | than a yearly checkup is needed to keep a dog active and athletic. |
| | Unfortunately, a dog owner has no way of easily knowing if their dog |
| | has become ill. Thus, this project creates an efficient system for |
| | monitoring your dog’s health. It achieves this by dispensing a specific |
| | amount of food and water at preset times throughout the day and puts |
| | them on a regimented schedule. Though this simplifies the process of |
| | managing a dog, it does not directly make sure a dog stays healthy. To |
| | identify if the dog is becoming sick, the system keeps track of all food |
| | and water the dog consumes and compares it to prior information of the |
| | dog’s eating habits by looking for either an increase or decrease in |
| | food or water consumption which is a common indicator of illness in |
| | dogs. If the program detects that the dog might be falling ill, it will send |
| | the owner an email with the changes it has detected in the dog’s eating |
| | habits along with a graph of the past 30 days of food and water |
| | consumption. This will allow the owner to know if the dog has had a |
| | change in diet and when exactly that change happened. Overall, this |
| | complex system will increase the ease in management of a dog and |
| | improve the health and comfort of a dog's life. |
