This study “PET PAL FEEDER DESIGN OF A FEEDING SYSTEM FOR
H.O.T.S ANIMAL SHELTER AT NORTH CALOOCAN CITY” focuses on
developing a feeding device that aimed at improving the efficiency and hygiene of
feeding routines in animal shelters. The device integrates essential features such
as a refillable water container with basic filtration, and storage drawers for food.
By assisting in organizing feeding processes, the system supports shelter staff in
carrying out their responsibilities more efficiently while contributing to the overall
health and well-being of the animals. The project is limited to one shelter and
focuses on the design, fabrication, and initial orientation, leaving future
maintenance to shelter personnel. The study also seeks to find an affordable,
feasible solution that can be replicated or duplicated in other animal shelters with
the same operation problems.
The study was done by survey on May 6, 2025, with 100 respondents. The
project assessment is given to (35) students, (52) pet owners and (13) professors.
The result shown the positive response for the respondents towards the design
appearance and structure. The respondent gave the Functionality weighted mean
of 4.62(excellent), followed by Workability with a weighted mean of 4.56(excellent),
In terms of Durability the respondents gave a weighted mean of 4.50 (excellent),
and in Safety have a weighted mean of 4.62 (excellent), lasty the Appearance /
Design with the highest mean of 4.74 and it is defined as “excellent”.
It is considered creating and enhancing this modular design to scale to
accommodate different sizes of shelters and enhancing the current basic filtration

to multistage filtration that would make the system more versatile and applicable
in various shelter environments. This would allow the system to be easily adapted
to accommodate a very wide variety of shelter sizes, from small temporary shelters
to larger, permanent structures. Scalability in a flexible design is essential in
addressing the diverse needs of different shelter conditions, especially in
emergency or disaster-relief contexts.
