The iKuddle Water Fountain and Auto [Feeder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-rfid-pet-feeder) are useful for keeping tabs on water and food levels, as alerts are delivered when shortages are detected. Cat owners will also appreciate being able to set customized feeding schedules for cats with modes for both manual and smart modes. The feeder also comes equipped with a camera and a two-way microphone, plus modes for viewing in the day and night. Naturally, the trio of smart pet products are designed to be able to communicate with one another, offering a solution for enhancing pet care in the home.
