Why?

In multi-person families, it is often difficult to keep track of when the family dog was last fed. This can lead to overfeeding or underfeeding. The Group Scoop streamlines the feeding process by automatically updating the time of the last feeding, allowing family members to know where it’s the next mealtime or not.
