Purina has unveiled a new smart dog bowl that can monitor your dog’s eating habits and give diet recommendations
The dog bowl was unveiled at the Amazon Web Services Summit Online in Australia and New Zealand 2021 this week.
Speaking at the event, Nicole Battistessa, General Manager of Nestle Purina Australia, said: ‘As a pet owner, I understand just how difficult it can be to know what to feed your pet and how much to give them as they transition through different ages and stages of life.
‘That’s why we developed Nestlé Purina CHEKR – to help provide peace of mind to pet owners and further enrich the lives of their furry family members.’
To use the bowl, pet owners simply download an accompanying app and input their dog’s details and dietary information.
The app will then deliver a personalised food recommendation.
When it comes to meal times the smart bowl will also help owners dispense the right amount of food and monitor the dog’s consumption.
This data can then be combined with the pet’s activity levels to give even more personalised recommendations about the type and amount of food the dog should be fed.
Other features within the app include reminders for flea and worming treatments, vaccinations and grooming appointments.
‘Nestlé Purina CHEKR tracks consumption and pet activity and over time and will make further recommendations on which pet food is best suited to your pet’s needs and how much your pet should be fed,’ Ms Battistessa added.

‘Our data scientists will continue to use the insights and examine everything from how different breeds eat, what shape of kibble is more desirable, to how we can further improve our pet’s oral health – with the aim of helping pet owners to have healthier, happier pets.’
The CHEKR bowl is currently completing its testing and trial phase, before it becomes available for customers to buy.
The price and timeline for this is yet to be confirmed.
