Best Purchase Ever Made! 10/10
By Vikki on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2025
I would give this product a million stars if I could. Truly the best product I’ve ever gotten for our two kitties. This automatic feeder has been an absolute life changer for me. Before, I really was struggling to keep up with our cat’s feeding habits. One of our cats, Colby, is constantly grazing. Usually never eating more than a few bites at a time. So feeding him twice a day just wasn’t cutting it for his nutritional needs. However, our other cat, Kahlan, has some medical issues that have caused her to gain weight. She has to be on a special prescription diet and her food needs to be portioned. You can see my dilemma. Prior to this purchase I was feeding our cats 4 times a day!! And on top of the sheer quantity of times they had to be fed I also had to monitor each feeding to ensure Kahlan wasn’t getting into Colby’s food. Fast forward to March, 2025. My husband and I are going on vacation in 1 month and trying to figure out how in the world we are going to keep the cats on their now well established routines. Of course, we can’t expect someone else to come into our house four times a day AND supervise each meal multiple times over the course of a week. Then I remembered this recommendation from a friend. I had put off purchasing this in the beginning simply for the expense, knowing we would have to get two machines. Let me tell you, it was worth every penny. We have both machines set up so the cats get 1/12 cup of dry food 3 times a day (7am, 3pm, and 10pm) the food automatically dispenses at these times each day and you can use the app to easily change how much food you want dispensed and at what times. I watched the instructional video and had no issues with set-up. That being said, our cats have always been comfortable wearing collars. The collars are an important piece to this process working smoothly because the machine is set up to recognize the collar of the cat it is paired to. This function along with the plastic side guards ensure that the cats cannot get into each other’s food, not for lack of trying!! So if your cats are not used to wearing collars or will not wear them, this product won’t work as intended. The collars are also not made of the most durable material. However, you can easily take the “chip” off their collar and place it on a new collar and it will still work as intended. Another note, if you are getting these before going on vacation like we did, I highly recommend getting the product about a month or so in advance. Colby took to the machine instantly. However, Kahlan would not eat from hers for a while and it took a number of days with us feeding her next to the machine for her to get comfortable with it. If you find your cat having issues with it, I would recommend giving it a week or two to allow them to adjust before returning the product. Though she took longer with warming up, she now happily uses her machine and races to her feeder as soon as she hears the sound of her food dispensing. We had only one glitch when we were on vacation where the food in one of the feeders got stuck and wouldn’t dispense. However, the app notifies you instantly telling you exactly what the problem is. We called a relative to fix the problem and the app will also remove the error code once the problem is properly resolved. We also bought a pet cam to set up next to the feeders so we could monitor the cats as they were eating and check up on them each day. This product truly gave me my life back. I cannot speak more highly of these feeders. If you are doing what I was and hand feeding and supervising your cats multiple times a day, please try this. If it doesn’t work in 3-4 weeks you can always return the product. BUT if it does work, you will get your time back and significantly reduce your stress and frustration over your cats health and weight. These feeders completely eliminate the problem of overeating. Please also note that with the exception of the one technical difficulty, we have not had a single issue with the feeders prior or since. We have continued to use them daily even upon returning from our vacation as a replacement to hand feeding the cats.

DANGEROUS, BUGGY, DOOR & CLOSING PROBLEMS MAKE THIS COSTLY IN TIME AND MONEY
By EasierDoesIt on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2025
I curse this company screaming daily... 🤬🤬🤬 DANGEROUS, BUGGY, DOOR CLOSING PROBLEMS!!! I bought 2 of these (and one non-specofic petlibro vacuum sealed feeder for my fat guy to get regular mini portions) and BOTH (all three, actually) are Nightmare of Hazardous, Buggy & MORE time consuming than hand feeding my 4 cats EACH feeding! First, and most dangerous is the ridiculous and thoughtless requirement to have an RFID tag, rather than reading the tags already embedded in almost every single cat. Because of this I had to put this dumb dangerous non-breakaway collar (it is supposed to be breakaway) on my cat, to then find my cat gagging and stuck with its mouth open it's and 's. Bottom teeth caught in the Petlibro collar that wasnt brwaking off. Thank F*** I was home when it happened or else who knows what would jave happened to my poor cat who now is missing a tooth because of this and had to fight an infection after i took my cat to the emergency room because she was having problems with her mouth and jaw and tongue and bleeding.... 🤬🤬🤬 If this wasn't bad enough, after switching the device to my other cat, and leaving my old microchip feeder for her, the device womt shut DAILY. The sliding door constantly stays open now because it cannot stay closed. This does NOT happen with the other, but that one has other constant issues like rotor stuck for no reason. Lastly, the company took so long to upgrade the firmware to allow feeders to close faster, my fat cat has already figured out that if he gets in there fast enough, then the feeder womt close all the way and he can get as mich as he wants. THIS is thr ONLY cat I buy all my feeders for becasue hees the one that i meed to limit, otherwise all would free feed. ALSO, guess what? Have a cat that will dig at a feeder? The doors on these come RIGHT out and off if thry catch their claw on the rubber hinged lid area. THEN FREEW FEEDING ALL DAY ON OTHER CATS FOOD UNTIL YOU COME HOME. NOT EVEN AN ERROR LOGGED!?!? NO WAY TO LOCK IN THE DOORS!? NONE of these RIDICULOUS frustrating, time consuming, dangeous and costly FAILURE POINTS NEVER OCCURED with the other branded microchip feeder (with no food hopper) ive used for years. The problem is it didn't do anything but open so it isnt useful for more than one days feeding before needing refilled. I bought two of these and another petlibro feeder to build a comprehensive feeding system to save me time and frustration, but all it has fone is cost me hundreds of dollars of waste, wasted money on food my cat still overeats, a hurt car with vet bill and a cat with a missing tooth, and minimally functioning and terribly designed and implemented hardware and software. As a Data Scientist and AI engineer, this comapny coupd have done things 100x better than the competition, filling a gap and even adding AI capabilities that are fairly cheap and effective, but they clearly dont know what they are doing, dont have cats that have a freding problem, and obviously dont losten to feedback as I was worried at purchasing time of all the errors and issues Ive read about. Do NOT BUY THIS unless you want a lot of pain, causing pain to your kitties, having a collar and giant tag around their neck that has been PROVEN to be dangerous, and a noghtmare of mechanical, technical, setup nightmares, bad UI, no AI, all features that are useful are behind a SUBSCRIPTION paywall (!?!?!) and all you will habe to show for it is pending more time and money on food, vey bills, and time fixing/figuring out the broken fevices and resetting, and THEN you can finally feed your cats every day. Wasnt this device supposed to fix ALL of that?!?!?!? Sadly im only describing the most annoying issues 8be had, not even the smallwr ones with programming, wifi connectivity, and more. I'd never spend MORE money on for tracking and stats ability that should be included FREE for the cost, and ill never buy a PetLibro device ever again after buying 3 and having problems with ALL of them unless they were able to fix all these probelems and get me 3 working devices that take LESS time than manually feeding, not MORE time and money!!!
