Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pet bowl, and more specifically, to a pet bowl that allows a pet to be fed food during meal times, and at the same time allows a pet to eat a snack by pulling out a small amount of liquid snack formed in the form of a stick pouch, which is provided as a single serving during snack time. Background Technology

[0003] Recently, the number of households raising pets is increasing day by day, and a variety of related items are being sold, including clothing, potty training devices, grooming supplies, bathing products, food dispensers, and toys.

[0004] While pets are typically raised on specialized dry food, healthy growth can be expected by manufacturing a liquid form by combining meat, fish, insects, grains, etc., to supply the nutrients needed by the pet, thereby supplementing the nutritional deficiencies of dry food.

[0005] Products containing liquid treat contents packaged in stick-type pouches as nutritional snacks for dogs and cats (Chur) are currently widely available on the market.

[0006] The Churu products mentioned above are nutritional snacks packaged in stick-type pouches, which are fed to pets by cutting along the perforation line and squeezing out the contents little by little by hand.

[0007] However, the above-mentioned product presents the following problems when dispensing a small amount of the contents out of the pouch by manually squeezing it out to control the supply and providing the contents to pets.

[0008] First, the method of squeezing out the contents by pressing with your hand after tearing open the pouch has the disadvantage that some of the contents fall out and contaminate the floor as the pet directly licks the spilled contents with its tongue.

[0009] Secondly, there was a problem where, due to improper behavioral correction, pets with strong appetites or impatient personalities would try to grab the pouch when eating food or treats, or stray cats with whom no bond had been established would try to grab the pouch out of a competitive instinct when giving nutritional treats, resulting in scratches or bites that injured hands.

[0010] In order to solve these problems, a device such as Korean Published Patent Application No. 10-2023-0155916 (Title: Churu extruder for pet snacks) is disclosed.

[0011] However, conventional technology has the problem of being difficult to use due to its complex configuration, and is inconvenient and uneconomical for the user because a separate bowl for feeding pet food must be provided along with the pet snack device. Prior art literature

[0015] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a pet bowl that can help improve the health of pets by allowing them to eat small amounts of liquid snacks.

[0016] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a pet bowl in which a groove is formed on the bottom surface of the pet bowl so that one end of a liquid snack can be inserted and connected, thereby allowing the snack to be stably positioned, and thus the snack can be supported on the bottom surface when the pet starts to eat the snack, allowing the pet to eat comfortably.

[0017] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a convenient pet bowl by forming a capacity indicator and a capacity guide on the inner surface, thereby allowing the user to conveniently measure and provide a precise amount when pouring a large amount of snack into the bowl to feed their pet. means of solving the problem
