DoggyDaptive Water Bowl
by PaceOccupationalTherapy
The DoggyDaptive water bowl is a hose connected water dispenser to a dog bowl. A sensor in the dog bowl allows for
the bowl to be lled and stop automatically when the water reaches a certain height. Within the water dispenser, a
sensor connected to an alarm allows for the dog's caretaker to be alerted when the water dispenser needs to be relled.
The design of this device allows for individuals with visual impairments to independently rell the water dispenser and
thus care for a guide dog while including automation aspects to support pet care and maintain safety.
