Why is wet food so important for cats?
Wet food is crucial in a cat's diet because it provides essential hydration, helping to promote kidney and urinary health. The high moisture content in wet food also aids digestion and supports a cat's natural carnivorous dietary needs. Additionally, the rich aroma and texture of wet food often encourage finicky eaters to consume sufficient nutrients, contributing to overall well-being.
Does the Sphinx S1 feeder work well with all types of cat food?
The Sphinx S1 Feeder only works with wet cat food, ensuring smooth dispensing and portion control. It's designed to handle various formats of wet food, but patés, smooth textures, chunks and gravy and most high-moisture blends portion out most accurately.
What wet food should I avoid using with the Sphinx S1 Feeder?
Super broth heavy wet foods are not ideal for the Sphinx S1 Feeder as they do not portion out consistently. Shreds (in particular dry shreds with low fat content) don't work well with our existing Sphinx Reusable Pods. We may create a shred-specific Sphinx Reusable Pod in the future.
How does the Sphinx S1 Feeder help optimize my cat’s health?
The Sphinx S1 Feeder and Sphinx App use innovative technology to track eating behaviors. Our data enables pet parents to be proactive with their cat’s health by highlighting flavor preferences, recognizing significant shifts in eating trends, and monitoring consumption. These critical insights empower users to have meaningful conversations with their vets so that they can give their cats the best life possible.
How do I schedule feedings?
Setting your cat’s meal schedule has never been easier. Simply login to the Sphinx App and click the “schedule” button. This is where you can customize your cat’s meal schedule and portion size.
Additionally, the Sphinx S1 Feeder can be manually triggered to feed your cat at any time, not just at scheduled intervals. You’ll be able to feed your cat whenever works best for you and your cat!
