The Neakasa Riko Fresh-Made Wet Meal Feeder is a connected cat owner appliance that's engineered to help pet parents provide the perfect meal for their cat anytime of day without the need for canned alternatives. The system works by grinding freeze-dried food and pairing it with water to achieve a thick or thin meal that will offer nutritional benefits for cats alongside additional hydration. The system is rated to operate for up to 10 days thanks to a three-liter food container and a 2.4-liter water tank.
The Neakasa Riko Fresh-Made Wet Meal Feeder can be customized via the accompanying smartphone app, which will also provide updates according to when it needs to be refilled and more.
