PETLIBRO RFID Automatic Cat Feeder, Collar Tag-Activated Personalized Meals, 5G&2.4G Wi-Fi Programmable Cat Food Dispenser with Cats Recognition & Diet Tracking for Multi-Pet Homes and Different Diets

My oldest kitty, Donut, was recently diagnosed with urinary crystals and requires to be on prescription food that other kitty, Mabel, cannot be on. He is also not allowed to eat her food to try and keep everything under control. Feeding them at certain times was difficult to do as Mabel is a big foodie, and if Donut didn’t eat all of his food, she would eat it all. So after much research on the many different covered automatic feeders, I decided on purchasing two of this one. It is a bit expensive but absolutely worth the price, and the kitties took up to it immediately! The setup isn’t too hard as long as you follow along with the booklet they provide, then the PETLIBRO app does the rest. Very simple and easy to set up. What I like about it is that it only opens for the specific cat whose tag you register to it. Mabel did try to bite her way into Donuts bowl, but was unsuccessful thankfully. That proves how durable it is!!! I also like that you can set up meal times to automatically dispense at a certain time at a certain amount. If you free feed, this is still possible to do per pet if you just keep track of how much food has been eaten and just refill when it gets low. You can set dispensing schedules by day and time and if you prefer for the kitties to get fed a certain amount 3 days a week and differently the other 4 days, you can absolutely easily set it up that way. The ability to also put batteries into the feeders to allow it to work in case of a power outage is a lifesaver!! If you have a kitty that is also food crazy, you can adjust the cover closing times and speed to try and help ensure that the other kitty does not steal food. I’ve also placed the feeders in different rooms to avoid this. While there are a lot of pros, there are a few cons but it isn’t necessarily a deal breaker for the overall feeder. If you schedule meal times, if the kitty hasn’t eaten the full amount, it will obviously pile onto the food in the bowl already. If your kitty isn’t much of an eater, the food will pile up and cause the dispenser to get blocked. It’s easy to fix, as I usually just open the cover in the app and use my finger to pull the blocked food down. For my kitty who doesn’t eat a ton, I have turned off scheduled feeding to avoid this from happening and just refill when it gets low. This isn’t a deal breaker whatsoever as he is still getting the food he needs! When setting up, the feeder also does talk, which may be startling for some skittish kitties. Luckily, my kitties were not fazed by it; although, I did completely turn down the voice as soon as I could to avoid them getting scared if it did talk for any reason. Lastly, the last con is the often changing and cost of the desiccant bags; although, there are alternatives that you can find online and use in place of the PETLIBRO branded bags that work just as good. Overall, this is a great product given my situation! It does its job perfectly and helps keep my mind at ease that my kitties are getting the food they need. 100% recommend!

The only problem I have with this feeder is that you can't connect to multiple cats and have multiple feeding times for those cats like you can with some of the other ones. The other ones don't dispense meals, however, and instead give the cat a time frame to eat. I'm not sure how they could incorporate multiple pets into one feeder but that would be so much better than having 3 separate feeders for my cats. It would also be nice for them to have a free feed mode that would automatically fill the bowl when it was getting low, but still keep the lid down when not in use by the cat so that the other cats can't get into the food. It is a little pricier than some of the other feeders I have used, but I think it is worth it. If they fixed the two above problems that would be great. I am still leaving 5/5 stars because I knew what the specifications were when I bought it, I would like them to make a feeder like I described. The noise isn't too bad when it is dropping food and doesn't wake me up but I am a heavy sleeper. The opening and closing of the door is silent, and it doesn't have a problem closing when the other cats are trying to steal the food. I am not using the desiccant bags because I can't afford to keep buying them so I am not sure how much those help. I haven't had to clean it yet but the bowl is easy to remove. The speed of the door opening and closing is a little slow, but now for the most part my cats have learned which feeder is theirs and don't try and steal the other cats food so it isn't as much of an issue. When the cats try to break into them they are sturdy and they haven't been able to get them open. Overall a good product that is marketed appropriately just wishing there were additional features

I got these after we added a new kitten to the family who wouldn’t stop eating our adults cat food and causing an upset stomach. I love this, it’s easy to set up. The app is easy to use. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the fact that the “automatic” feeder isn’t a when the food is low it’s a set times on the app for dispensing food. This in itself isn’t horrible but my cats are not consistent eaters so some days this causes too much food resulting in a blockage and others I check the bowls and they are nearly empty. Overall, I would purchase again given this and other options on the market. The sensing collars work great and cleaning is easy. Being able to keep the food separated is keeping our cats healthy and fed. I think it’s a good value for the money, but If you’re able to get it on sale I’d say hold out. Haven’t had any issues with it tipping or being wobbly, it’s very sturdy.

Works wonderfully. Consistent, up to 4 meal times a day. Easy to program. I wouldn’t bother setting up the voice, it’s very loud every time and cat responds to good noise. You can’t delete sound and taking batteries out doesn’t reset. For my cat, food storage lasts 3 weeks and cat can’t get in. Running off batteries also great if no powerpoint I’m using in Australia and works great. Power is a usb end so you just need to pickup a $5 usb power point, or just use your phone one.

Broke down in three months

ممتازه… مصنعيتها جيده لكن مسألة ان كل جهاز مايقبل الا طوق واحد قاهرتني و لهذا السبب نقصتها نجمه

Sirvió los primeros 5 días, ya después empezó a hacer polvo las croquetas.

The device works well for the most part and fulfills it's use as an auto feeder plus rfid tagger so only one of my cats can eat from it. However there seems to be a touch sensitivity and button placement issue, whereby once I unlock the touch buttons (they are by default locked) there are ghost inputs. The worst part is the lid open button is right next to the reset button, so when I tried to manually open the lid, the ghost input instead kept resetting the device causing me to redo the whole setup a few times. Also for a device that cost that much perhaps it would not be too much to ask that a camera come equipped so we can see which pet is using the feeder rather than rely on the rfid tracker which can be wildly inaccurate at times; I have seen a few instances where my cat was eating from it but the app says it has not used the feeder.
