NFC Pet Feeder Market Validation Survey (For Dog & Cat Owners)

NFC Pet Feeder Market Insights

Welcome to our market validation survey for the NFC Pet Feeder by Petronics. We're developing a smart feeder that uses NFC technology to ensure only your cat accesses its food, solving common challenges in households with both cats and dogs. Your feedback on features, pricing, and overall usability will help us fine-tune our solution and bring a product that truly meets your needs. The survey takes about 5–7 minutes, and all responses are confidential. Thank you for helping us shape the future of smart pet care!
