5.1 Personalized Feeding Plan (App Control)

The PAKEWAY app allows you to create a customized feeding schedule for your pet:

• Open the PAKEWAY Smart app and select your feeder device.
• Navigate to the 'Meal Plan' or 'Schedule' section.
• You can set up to 10 feeding programs per day.
• For each program, specify the feeding time and the number of servings. Each serving is approximately 8 grams. The feeder supports a maximum of 16 servings per meal.
• The app also provides a line chart of feeding data for the last 7 days, helping you monitor your pet's intake.

5.2 Manual Remote Feeding

To dispense food instantly, use the manual feeding function in the app. This is useful for giving extra treats or meals outside of the scheduled times.

5.3 Monitoring and Alerts

The app allows you to monitor the feeder's status:

5.4 Freshness Preservation

The feeder incorporates a triple freshness technique to keep food fresh:

• Twist Lid: The snap-on cover isolates air, preventing food from oxidizing.
• Moisture-Proof Box: A built-in compartment allows you to add a desiccant bag to absorb moisture, keeping food crispy.
• Concealed Outlet: The hidden food outlet reduces moisture penetration and prevents pets from accessing the food directly.
