How is it powered?

How do I prevent overeating?

The piano comes with a mobile app that allows you to control the number of portions that can be dispensed every day. Once the limit has been reached, the piano will no longer dispense food or play notes.

What if I have multiple pets?

Although pets generally pick up new skills more quickly in quieter environments, our experience shows that in homes with multiple cats, learning can be a collective effort. Once the initial leaner masters the piano, the others frequently follow suit by observation. This approach has proven effective in both cat and dog shelters, where numerous animals have shared access to the piano, demonstrating its success across a variety of settings.

Is there a warranty?

We very much expect the devices to have a warranty, however the details of this warranty have not yet been worked out.

At this point, if there was a defect or technical problem, we would request that you send the product to us. We would fix it and send it back, or alternatively send you a replacement.

Can the piano be washed?
