Abstract

Animal welfare is one of society's top priorities nowadays; hence, pets have been considered part of every family's household. Pet safety and its condition are frequently monitored, and many innovative inventions are being created. A Peltier module, commonly known as a thermoelectric cooler, is widely used in cooling modules. A thermoelectric cooler is used to produce cold air to give comfort to their cages. Installing a cooling system with a control system creates cool air inside the cell with a fan. The temperature inside the cage can be manually controlled depending on the desired temperature, between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Using t-test analysis, the results show that the thermal reading of the developed device is accurate and the system is fully operational. However, outdoors may affect the task; the Peltier may produce less coldness and vary according to the kennel cage design and size.
