September 14th 2017 – Miami, Florida - PetMio today is launching an ecosystem of devices designed to provide the most personalized nutrition possible for cats and dogs. PetMio combines a SMART Tracker, SMART Bowl, Intelligent Nutrition Algorithm, and mobile app to analyze your pet’s nutritional needs and deliver personalized food directly to your door.

PetMio doesn’t just collect and relay data about your pet. After attaching the SMART Tracker to your pet’s existing collar and filling up their SMART Bowl, PetMio measures activity, sleep patterns and feeding behaviors, amongst other data. The Intelligent Nutrition Algorithm then turns that information into a personalized recipe, determining the correct balance needed to properly fuel your pet.

For example, for energetic puppies, PetMio will create food containing more calories and healthy proteins, as well as fats for energy. Whereas, for a lethargic adult cat, the food provided will contain enough vitamins and minerals to support its vital systems while ensuring the cat feels full and satisfied without gaining extra weight.

Dr. Arlianne Velez, Chief Veterinarian at PetMio explains, “We are all pet owners ourselves and know how important their well being is to us. Good health starts from the inside and it’s not a case of ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to food. What this ecosystem really provides is an actionable understanding of individual needs, allowing the exact ratio of proteins, carbs, fibers, fats, vitamins and minerals to be mixed properly for each animal. It will be wonderful to bring the Kickstarter community this level of control and insight over what their pets eat.”

Available on Android and iOS, the app also provides detailed nutritional information, the delivery schedule of the PetMio food, as well as step-by-step guidance on how to transition your pet from their existing diet to their personalized PetMio food.

Key features:

Pedro Moras, PetMio CEO, explains, “We know that there are smart pet collars already out there, but those trackers simply give you data about your pet’s activity. What can you actually do with that information? We’ve also seen a rise of premium and organic pet food and custom blends. These offer quality, but nothing to truly address the unique needs of an individual pet. PetMio bridges the gap between having information about your pet’s well-being and using it to positively impact its health in an easy and effective way.”

PetMio is available to back on Kickstarter, with limited early bird pledge levels starting at $94 (for a cat bundle). Pledges include a SMART Tracker, SMART Bowl, the mobile app on iOS or Android, as well as a 1 month trial of personalized pet food. Following this 1 month trial, food will be available on subscriptions based on your pet’s dietary needs. Early bird bundles will be delivered April 2018.
