Employee of the month...

every month.

Hey, Max here!

I’m a BIG dog, and I needed a feeder that understood me.
Tiny bowls? Not for me. Weak motors? No thanks.
So, I asked my humans to build something better, and they delivered.

Now I get the perfect meal, every time. And the best part?

My humans can set it all up from their phone.

Easy for them, pawfect for me!

If you’ve got a big dog like me, you know how important nutrition, timing, and consistency are. We’re here to make all that simpler: with smart tech and thoughtful design that works.

Built for Big Dogs, Backed by Engineering

At Pawfect Smart, we're dog lovers, tech nerds, and proud large-breed companions. Our feeders were born from one simple truth: big dogs deserve better. Better portions. Better feeding schedules. Better design.

That’s why our Precision Automatic Feeder was developed by USA-based engineers, combining rugged durability with smart features you can rely on. It’s built tough, with a high-capacity 30L bin and a clog-free system—because when it comes to feeding big dogs, there’s no room for failure.

Our Mission

We’re passionate about helping bigger dogs live healthier, happier lives. From precise portion control to adjustable schedules, our feeder is built to support your dog's well-being, and make life easier for you.

We're committed to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and we’re just getting started.
