Travelers have long been able to control when Fido eats by using food bowls with internal timers. Such devices only open up and let pets at food when you program them to do so.

Now, technology has taken it one step further, with a system that lets you dole out more food from anywhere in the world and watch your pet snarf it down. Here’s the pitch from SmartHome:

Worry about your pets while you’re away? Now you can keep an eye on them while away with the power of Ergo Pet Feeders and INSTEON home control technology. Our pet feeding & viewing kit allows you to both feed your pets & view them from a computer anywhere in the world. You can also automatically have images of your pets at feeding time emailed to you on at scheduled times. Set-up is a snap and kits come with everything you need.
