Smart Cups got its start printing precise portions of medicines in cups, and initiated a partnership with Compana Pet Brands to bring its innovative technology to the pet care and nutrition space with Smart Bowls. These revolutionary bowls for pets hold vitamins and nutrients for animals in 3D-printed, dissolvable capsules at the bottom of the bowl. When pet owners add water, the nutrients are released to support happy, healthy, well-hydrated pets.
Vet’s Best Hydro bowls are available in several functional varieties for dogs and cats, including formulas that specifically deliver vitamins and minerals for immunity, digestion, and hip and joint support.
"This partnership demonstrates the bigger picture of what we’re trying to accomplish," said Chris Hasan Kanik, CEO of Smart Cups, "Notice that this product is not about beverages or plastic cups."
