About the company

At INSTACHEW we had a realization that there was a lack of presence for innovative pet products in the North American market, like a smart pet feeder or a smart litter box. That is why in 2017 INSTACHEW launched with its flagship product, the Instachew Smart Pet Feeder. Since then INSTACHEW has partnered with leading players in the smart pet products category to introduce innovative products to all pet owners.

INSTACHEW's collaboration with PETKIT has introduced a series of pet products that pet owners love. For example, the Eversweet Smart Water Fountain, shown on your left, has been a huge success with our customers.
