I wrote previously about AI Tails — a pet tech brand with a name I think is a winner (though I question the product’s usefulness). Another pet tech introduction at CES 2026 involves several new products from Petkit.
Petkit itself is a solid name. Their new device names? I don’t adore them, but they’re… fine. (Side note, as a pet owner myself, I think the products themselves seem much more useful than AI Tails.)
The new names? Yumshare Daily Feast — an automatic wet cat food feeder (!) with built-in AI detection; Eversweet Ultra water fountain, which keeps track of which pet drank water and when; and Purobot Crystal Duo, an automated litter box that monitors activity and provides alerts for potential health concerns.
These aren’t terrible names by any means. Yumshare makes sense, though I find “yum” a bit childish and cute for smart tech, even if it is for pets. Petkit doesn’t really come across as a cute brand, so this feels off.
Eversweet is a lovely turn of phrase, but I’m not quite sold on the relevance of “sweet” here. Is water… sweet? Maybe in the sense that life is sweet? This poetic license definitely gives a different tone than cutesy-wootsy Yumshare.
And finally, Purobot is surely intended to be a blend of “pure” and “robot,” which totally makes sense for an automatic litter box — and feels aligned tonally with the Petkit name and brand.(Or perhaps it’s from “P.U. robot,” which would be hilariously on-point for a robot whose job is to do the dirtiest of dirty work.)
Looking at these names together as a family, they kind of hang together. Yumshare and Eversweet absolutely work together as simple composite names (two real words put together). Purobot is a simplex (coined) name created by blending two words together — not quite the same as a composite, but it works in a pinch. In my dream naming architecture, they would have made this a real composite name.
That’s all I have to say about that! Cool products, Petkit.
