Here’s a genius idea for those of you guys with dogs so you won’t ever have to fill their water dish again in your life, perhaps just clean it once in awhile. It’s an auto-filling dog dish machine that will recognize when your dog’s water dish is empty and fill it precisely to the top. The system uses pretty simple schematics and Arduino so anyone with decent circuit skills should build something similar easily as schematics is provided.
My friend by the way has 5 dogs, this could save a ton of
For those of you with a dog (or cat), you might be interested in making this tennis ball robot that randomly “rolls”, might keep your dog/cat entertained for hours non-stop for sheezy.

It is my understanding that his bots were made by placing a vibrating motor freely inside of a Styrofoam ball that was then coated to give it an irregular shape.

Here’s an interesting DIY electric fence for keeping dogs away from cats by using IR sensors that sense when dogs come to eat cats’ lunch. Might be a good idea for some of you who might be in the same situation.

Of course, make sure your pets don’t carry any credit cards to bed. haha.
If you’re not yet aware of it, even pets can benefit from the wonders of a magnetic mattress pad. Just like humans, these anima
Just when you think it wouldn’t be possible, someone comes up with an automatic dog washing system. Of course, this IS a great idea for saving time but time will tell if any dogs will die from computer mal-function, the manufacturer better have some good insurance against that.

Well, I’ve never been too close to live chickens too often in my life, simply due to the fact I enjoy cities more but if you want to learn how to clip chicken wings, here’s how to do it. It can in fact save your chicken from escaping, getting lost, getting into fights with dogs, and lots of good stuff.
