PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder – 3L Programmable Pet Food Dispenser with Airtight Storage, Timed Portion Control, Voice Meal Call & Dual Power Supply, Clog-Free Healthy Feeding for Cats & Small Dogs

This automatic feeder was originally purchased because we had a trip out of town for the weekend and we just got our cats from a rescue. I would highly recommend this for people with one to two cats most times cats don’t like to eat the same bowl, but my cats are pretty chill and will share or just come down at different times. Prose Assembly was pretty straightforward and easy the food I buy really works with the distribution during the lot at times they have a total of seven times a day that they can be fed and you can portion out those feedings differently for each time. I try to give my cats wet food in the morning, but allow them to eat throughout the day with four other feedings until midnight. I like the amount of food it can hold as well as the sounds you can program in. I also like that has a working digital clock and it has a freshness packet at the top so the food doesn’t get stale. I replaced my large manual feeder with this one just so I could keep the food fresh whenever they eat, I like the color I like the design. I think it’s very sleek and modern. I’m really happy with this purchase. The user manual is very informative and well written. Because of the material it’s made out of it stays pretty clean. My cats are a little messy and like to pull the food out of the bowl so there’s lots of little bits around, but that’s just my cats. Cons The only con I would have to say is there should be a sensor that sounds some sort of alarm when it’s run out of food. The portion controls are not expounded upon in the user manual. I wasn’t sure what zero one was versus 10 was the bowl is not large enough to have a lot of portions, overflowing it And it seems the food comes out in seconds so if you put it on one second it will drop food for one second if you put it on, it will be the equivalent of counting to 10 and allowing the food to fall into the bowl. I suggest this for one to two cats only because if your cats are like mine, they will share, but I’m not sure what you would do. If you had more than two cats would they be intelligent enough to one eat at 12 and another one eat at 1 o’clock, I don’t know Especially if you have different dietary needs for each of your cats. I would be sure to make sure this is a fit or maybe they have a different version of this automatic feeder where the bowl is maybe oblong and will allow two cats to eat at a trough. I don’t know. Lastly, I do wish the Cord was a little bit longer. It does have a slot for batteries, but I don’t want to forget to change them so I keep mine plugged in and luckily there is a plug in my pantry. Overall, would purchase again 10 out of 10 and might make a really good gift for the cat person in your life.

This is all plastic parts , so be sure to clean every day or every other day… after 48 hours, according to vital sips.com plastic generates considerable bacteria, if you wait beyond that 48 hours. I boil my water to make sure all bacteria is sterilized. FYI (Vital sips sell all metal water fountains). Note that the last little shoot where it drops into the bowl cannot be removed for cleaning so I wipe it with alcohol to remove bacteria —best I can do on that part. I also put any residual dry food in the oven to make sure it’s sterile when it goes back inside the system because it tends to spill out when you’re cleaning it. Reassembly after cleaning is a bit tricky— the compartment base and the food tank all need to lineup at the side notches shown for the food tank. You might have to fiddle some with the base so that it rotates clockwise into place. I always check the dispense afterwards to make sure I got it together right. “In the box” says it comes with a charger, which mine did not, though I had an old iPhone plug & adaptor on hand. I don’t wish to return it for a replacement because it’s likely to come the same way. Since I have one on hand already I have not deducted for that. Programming it was a little frustrating because the first item you put in is the time of day. If you toggle through any of that, then it was not obvious it came back for reprogramming it. I finally resolved that issue by unplugging it for a while for it to reset everything. (No battery in) The plus/minus key pressed together is supposed to reset everything, but it did not seem to do the time of day. Later I realized it’s possibly a blank input, so it’s easy to inadvertently toggle through that. To get to the change am to pm, you have to change the first number :ie 5 AM to 5 PM by toggling all the way around those first numbers. So it’s easy to make a mistake on the a.m. or p.m. setting. Except for that it’s relatively easy to program and the feeding numbers 1-6 can be reset using the simultaneous plus minus keys together. You can select one of the feeding settings to correct later, but you end up toggling through a lot of extra numbers. The instructions are fairly good, though it did not tell you how to change the a.m. p.m. and the time of day instruction was not very clearly stated. Also, it did not tell you where the unlock button is, it is not the one that lights up. It’s all the way over on the left side. I got this so that my cats would not cry for food at three in the morning! (Multicat household). It does WONDERS for that! Free feeding cats at night results in fat cats which shortens their life according to my Vet. And other health issues from overweight cats. So restrictive feeding is necessary to keep them at the right weight. But they get hungry at night when I want to sleep! Can’t say how long this will last I just got it, the hope is a year minimum because it’s rather expensive to replace very often. The company did throw in overnight shipping included in the price. This was the best feeder according to the reviews, which is more expensive than the lowest priced items. I did not want Wi-Fi connection because that often is the first thing to break on these type of devices. Simpler is better! I chose the black one because it was five dollars cheaper, and the time is very legible because of the contrast! Love that. This is just a fancy alarm clock with a shoot, and storage container; it’s surprisingly rather expensive for what it is… most electronics seem to be overpriced imo.

If you have a cat that treats every meal like it's his last, this automatic feeder may save your sanity — and your carpets. One of our cats has always been a problem eater: inhaling his own food, raiding our other cat's bowl, and then promptly getting sick — always, somehow, on the carpet. Beyond the mess, our other cat wasn't getting her daily portion, and his weight was becoming a real concern. I tried everything. Separated feeding areas helped with the bowl-stealing, but not the overeating. A slow-feeder bowl seemed promising until he figured out how to flip it and gorge on the spilled contents. I cycled through multiple high-end brands, both dry and wet, thinking the food itself was the issue. It wasn't. This automatic feeder finally solved it. Programmed portion control, delivered on a consistent schedule, meant he couldn't eat more than he was supposed to — full stop. The results have been remarkable: no more vomiting, no more carpet cleanup, and his weight has stabilized. He's genuinely doing well. One practical note: he did attempt to knock the unit over and break into it, so I built a small platform to secure it. If you have a determined cat, plan for that. The feeder supports up to six programmable meals per day with adjustable portions — plenty of flexibility. And even if overeating isn't your issue, it's an excellent option when you travel. Highly recommend.

On the whole, I'm happy with this. What I like: - Good seal! Food odors don't leak out, unlike other brands of cat feeder. The cat isn't tempted to knock it over or try to break in. - It's cute, it works, and the whole setup fits on a standard "ant proof tray". - The bowl is decently shallow and wide; no obvious "whisker stress". What I might not like: - The ant proof tray, much to be desired, is sold separately. - Portion size is inconvenient. Here's what I mean. My cat needs exactly 5 and 1/2 of these portions total in a day. With 6, she leaves food behind and/or gains weight; but with 5, she begs too much. I see no way to program a 1/2 portion.

The programming is a little confusing and if you set dispensing about to high it causes a jam and error message.

I really enjoyed this pet feeder for about 3 years, but unfortunately it now has a continuous beep that won’t stop until I unplug it, so it’s unusable now :/ I used it to auto feed my cats. I like that it has the option to schedule multiple meals throughout the day, and it’s pretty airtight so the cats can’t open it.

This is the best kitty feeder. It’s so sturdy. So put together. I have two cats. I work alot. This has a timer and my cats are fed without me worring. It’s a bit techie to set up. But instructions come in it.

I've had this for a little over a year and it's performed as advertised. Easy to assemble, set portion sizes according to your animal needs or vet recommendation. I also find it humorous that I can record my own meal-time jingles. Cat loves food, yeah yeah.

Le distributeur de croquettes PetLibro est un excellent ajout à notre quotidien ! Il est très facile à programmer, et l’application mobile permet de contrôler les repas de mon animal à distance, ce qui est extrêmement pratique. La capacité du réservoir est suffisante pour plusieurs jours, et le mécanisme de distribution fonctionne parfaitement sans se bloquer. La qualité de fabrication est solide, et le design est élégant et discret. En plus, il a aidé à réguler les portions et les horaires de repas de mon animal, ce qui est un vrai plus pour sa santé. Je recommande vivement ce produit !

It is a great pet feeder. You can either plug it in or use batteries. The light disturbed me at night but if you use the batteries and unplug the pet feeder there is no more light! The design is really pretty and discrete. I have not tried to put it in the dishwasher yet but it's fairly easy to clean. Love it!

I got this for my cat so that he can get fed even when I am in the office. The sound of the kibbles hitting the metal bowl alone is sufficient to get them running to the bowl even for the first time. Didn’t need to use the voice recording at all. Did take a while to figure out the setup but once the timings are set, it’s pretty fuss free until you need to top up the food.

Petlibro products are awesome! They clearly think about the details in every aspect. I love this feeder, it’s the perfect size for my cat, easy to clean, actual dish bowl so easy to remove, clean and replace. I thought the settings might be hard to get the hang of but was easy. Sleek looking and super functional. Even their water fountain has the same qualities. I am really digging this brand.

Funcional, buenos materiales, buen diseño, confiable. El producto cumple perfectamente con las especificaciones, es fácil de programar (solo hay que tener en cuenta que las porciones son de 20gr c/u), extra silencioso y ocupa muy poco espacio. Puede manejar croquetas de hasta 15mm, tiene pantalla touch que puedes bloquear y entonces no batallas con que tus mascotas presionen algo por error, de fácil limpieza. Definitivamente la mejor de su gama, bueno, bonito y barato.
