Activity Analysis
Problem:
Busy families are in and out of the house during times when the dog is fed, and especially for dogs who have their food spread out or special dietary needs,
miscommunication can happen, and the dog gets over or under fed.
How might we inform busy families when the dog is fed,
through an automatic, clear communication system,
to prevent over or under feeding the dog?
