临近春节，有出行计划的"铲屎官"们规划起自家"毛孩子"的去处。有的选择寄养，也有选择宠物托运带在身边，有条件的则让宠物呆在家里。
As the Spring Festival approaches, pet owners with travel plans are making arrangements for their "fur babies". Some choose pet boarding, others opt for pet transportation services, while those with means prefer leaving their pets at home.
"托运太折腾了，放在别的地方又怕不适应。"养布偶猫的火火告诉《21CBR》记者，"家里的智能猫砂盆，能自动铲屎、远程控制；喂食器能定点定时智能投喂，在断电情况下也能工作。"
"Transportation is too troublesome, and I'm worried they won't adapt to new environments," Huohuo, a Ragdoll cat owner, told 21CBR. "Our smart litter box can automatically clean and be controlled remotely; the smart feeder provides scheduled meals and works even during power outages."
2022年，我国宠物智能用品整体成交额同比增长达152%，其中智能猫砂盆成交额同比增长231%。新兴赛道中，宠物智能用品ODM企业小壹，2022年12月中旬完成数千万元A轮融资。

宠物智能用品想做到Top级别，需要大量客户订单的规模效应支撑。大多数单体工厂对没有大单量的项目合作不感冒。"这是小壹的机会。"高虎介绍。
Reaching top-tier in smart pet products requires economies of scale from large orders. Most single factories avoid small-quantity projects. "This is XiaoYi's opportunity," Gao explains.
