Feeder stopped working early on with food and saying "abnormal" on the device. Missed many meals for my dog. Camera is not clear. Would not recommend.

Neptune loves his new feeding machine !!

We love the device, however when we changed internet wifi we cannot connect the WoPet lens never regonized the QR Code. Wish they offered another way to connect the wifi to the pet feeder
Melvin W.
Wopet has been very nice to deal with. There feeder is great but it has stopped working correctly.
Adam F.
Just purchased my 2nd Wopet after the first one broke and wouldn't reconnect. Set it up but had issues with the last part scanning so I cannot use any features advertised. Reached out to supports 2-3 times and have yet to hear back over the past 3 months since my purchase.

Double feeds. Renders it unusable unfortunately.

Love this ! But I need 2 more one for each dog. Then I need a place to attach because my dog knocked it over 15 minutes after we left. The only feature I didn’t like is when I feed Manuel and after a couple of times it said over feeding and wouldn’t let me do it more. And I wish the camera also showed the bowl. But it is great with all the other features!!!

We love this automatic feeding system. We could do without the voice recording and live stream video, but we have cats who could care less. . If you have an animal who misses you while you’re at work this would be a great function. The app is very easy to use and to change settings. We have a cat who eats so much and so fast that he vomits the food up. So the 6 feeding times are great. It allows us to feed less at a time throughout the day. We also have a second cat, so we purchased two of these feeders and they both chose which feeder to eat out of. Our cat who used to vomit no longer vomits up his food. They’ve become so used to the feeding times that they go to their feeder 5 minutes before the food comes out. Another benefit to this feeder is that the feeding dish is flat and wide, which keeps cats from getting whisker fatigue (this can cause a cat to eat fast) I’d highly recommend this product. It’s definitely worth the price!

Love my WOPET so much I bought a second one! Even with a power outage, the WOPET comes thru because of the battery backup. I had questions in the beginning and the WOPET customer service is prompt and helpful. When I'm gone, I love the ability to check in on my cats with the camera feature. Couldn't recommend this product enough!

We purchased the WOPET SpriteⅡWiFi Smart Feeder 6-Meal, 7L (model FV01) with high hopes for the product, especially the phone app that is available caught our attention. Overall the machine has worked okay, but we have run into some issues that shouldn’t be present with such an expensive feeder.
Pros
* fairly intuitive to setup, easy to connect to WiFi
* lid locks tightly to keep your pet from “feeding themself”
* you can replace the plastic tray with a glass one from Pyrex if you don’t want bacteria build-up on the eating tray
Cons
* the app looks great in the advertisements, but is extremely clunky and outdated and has a number of flaws
-- inability to remove feeding plans/entries
-- when you change the password on the device, it does not force logout anyone else connected to the device (security flaw); since this device has camera and audio, anyone logged in can still watch/listen in
* switching out the large to small dispenser was a challenge, the instructions were short and needed more information (being plastic you have to note the torque on the screws and the fit was a bit off)
When we reached out to the support team regarding the app issues, we were told “this is the situation you want” in regards to the security vulnerability.
Overall looking back we would have bought a feeder from a different company given the issues and for the price, but we were past the 30 day return window as we discovered all of the issues, the feeder was bought in advance of us rescuing our kitten.
Negus H.
I can’t open the app, I deleted an Uninstall a few times, even Reregister! My WiFi is also accurate
George P.
I purchased this product for the wifi camera function. It is pretty much useless. You cannot see the food tray, it does not have any capability to capture photos based on motion detection. The unit sits in my basement and the odds of capturing anything useful about the feeding activity is zero. Huge missed opportunity by your company.
Taylor D.
I am returning this item. The app to operate the machine can’t be trusted or relied on and is glitchy. Please advise on how I can process return.
Rocio B.
I love this feeder, we travel and I had to inconvenience family members to feed out outside dog. Found this feeder on Amazon read the reviews and took a chance. It was perfect for my pet at first he didn’t understand, but he knows when his feedings are now.
One thing I wish you would modify is to make the lid seal proof. Mine has to be put outside for my outside dog and first day hundreds of ants got on it. Had to spray it with any spray and no more ants. I’m noticing a month later I’m not getting notifications anymore and I looked at the troubleshooting and everything seems normal. I don’t know why I’m not getting notifications. Other than that I love this feeder and my dog Loula too.
Ashley G.
I love it! This frees us up to feel better going on long day trips or even weekend trips, knowing that kitties are taken care of. I do wish the feeding trays were stainless steel instead of plastic, as plastic holds bacteria and needs to be cleaned daily. Dropping 1 star for this. Otherwise, we’ve been using it for weeks and love it.
James L.
I think its great. Works fantastic. Wish there was a screen so the puppy can see your face as well. I have a small pup so the portions are a little more then i like for the small size but its ok. Product is amazing. Picture quality is great. Works awesome! Thank you.
Jeffrey H.
Very satisfied with the unit. Well made and attractive. Easy to set up.
Cons:
Recording plays three times. Would like an option to set the number of times it plays at feeding time.
Can’t control the volume of the recording playback. Too loud.
Wish the camera could give a view of the feeding dish. Best option would be an additional camera that just points to the dish and the user can select which camera to view. Would be worth the extra $. Gives remote users a chance to ensure the amount of food in the dish. Have to place another camera pointing at the dish to monitor consumption.
Marcy G.
Works great, love it!!
Chris G.
Overall, I really like this feeder. I like the compact and sleek design. I like the fact that it is a "smart" feeder that I can integrate into my growing smart home design. I also like the fact that it has a camera. Many of the other smart feeders on the market do not have camera capabilities. So far the product has worked really well for me.
However, I do have some critiques. Be aware that the app for your smart phone needs quite a bit of updates. At least my IOS app does. As one example, the app has not even been updated to take advantage of my iPhone's full screen. This is particularly noticeable because that adjustment came with the iPhone X, which is how many years ago. Overall however, the app does exactly what you it to do. It just feels outdated when you are using it.
Also, it becomes clear that you are not doing business with a company that is as polished as you originally thought. Looking at the website, looking at the product description, looking at the packaging of the product...it all presents itself as polished. However, when you get into the weeds you realize this is not the case. For example, the instruction manual has many English grammar mistakes. The same goes for the app when it is walking you through set-up. It certainly appears that the makers of this product do not have a full-grasp on the English language. This, in and of itself, is not a problem. By no means is this a "everyone should speak English" rant. However, the company should hire someone to spot check their product materials so that it is polished and correct. These mistakes do not prevent you from using the product. But they make you doubt the quality of the product. If the company is unwilling or unable to hire someone who can properly make their materials polished in English, does that mean the company is unwilling or unable to make a quality product by not cutting corners elsewhere?
Overall, great product. I definitely recommend. For the price and when comparing to other products, it stands out for many reasons. Just be aware of these other aspects when considering doing business with the company.
Michael N.
Great automatic remote wi-fi feeder. Easy to use app allows monitoring and changing feeding schedules or providing individual feedings. Sets up and connects easily to your wi-fi. Only thing I would suggest is to change the camera angle so you can see the food bowl. The camera is set to look straight out, which will show your animal if it is in the frame but does not show the food bowl so you check to see if it has dispensed and/or eaten.
Andrea
The feeder has really helped me to feel less guilty when I work late or take long weekend trips. I love that I can see my cat via the camera and can manage her feedings on the app. I used crushed up Primal freeze dried nuggets instead of kibble and haven’t had any issues. The company was very responsive when I had to reach out because it wasn’t connecting online. Thanks WOPET!
Andres F C.
I wish that the food didn’t spill in the floor while my dog eats it. Other than that we love the product
Kate C.
Very happy with the product and customer service. I had an issue connecting the feeder to my wifi and after helping me try to connect the device they went ahead and send me a new feeder that works perfectly. I appreciated their quick action to send a new feeder.
The feeder does exactly what it says and gives me a lot of relief knowing my cats will be fed even when I’m not home. I highly recommend!
Leila A.
I had previously bought this item, then I moved and the device would not pair with the app. After several attempts and research to find out how to troubleshoot the problem, I decided To message wopet on Facebook.
They responded timely and told me that the one I bought was discontinued but they would gladly replace it free of charge.
I received this one (which is white and dark grey, my original being grey). It paired quickly and has no issues at all!
I love how I can see my pet when I am away and call him over through the app to see his face.
I highly recommend getting one of these for your home. It gives you one less thing to remember in your day, and peace of mind to check in on your fur baby whenever you want. :)
Samantha K.
I got a WOPET Automatic Pet Dispenser FV02 for my pet rabbit, Foo Foo. Since this model is no longer available, I purchased WOPET Smart Pet Feeder FV01 for my pet rabbit, Buddy, instead. Both products are well designed. Having said that, I would prefer the feeding tray for WOPET Smart Pet Feeder FV01 use the design of WOPET Automatic Pet Dispenser FV02. I have been having a hard time to remove the feeding tray for cleaning.
Stephany T.
I have been searching for a good feeder with a camera and voice setting. This one so far has been super great. I can see my dog whenever I leave her at home and make sure she is safe. It’s also nice to be able to talk to her and also listen back. I honestly loved this device.
Keith Nielsen
We tried this feeder while on vacation. It worked great and we never had to worry if the dog had food or not. The app is pretty cool as well. Would highly recommend this product to any pet owner.
Richard
It's so cool! In terms of internet of things, this is a nice luxury item. Posh must have! I dislike touching dog food or getting close to it. It smells so strong, and makes a mess. That smell is hard to get off your hands. Now, I just get the bucket insert and pour the food right inside. No need to touch it or anything. Being able to remove it also makes it convenient for cleaning.
Once you close the lid, you can't even tell the food is there. It keeps everything contained. It comes with two feeder portions. We switched out the tub inside to give smaller portions since our dog is a yorkie. It's programmable to how many times you want to feed, or you can feed on demand. It also has an HD camera and a speaker. It's quite funny to watch the dog's ears perk up thinking someone is there. She loves it. She's begun to recognize the sound of the food falling down, and it even wakes her up from her naps. It's her new best friend! I think the amount inside it will last at least 2-3 weeks. We can also feed the dog while we're away at work or even if we need to leave her for a day. So convenient!
Laura Ortega
This feeder has honestly saved my cats relationship with one another, I love being able to select the portion so I can only release enough food for one cat while calling it over to it and then do the other cat
Jess
I bought this for my dog for while I'm away at work, the camera is awesome being able to speak and hear my pets is awesome, but the feeder isn't the greatest for dog food it keeps getting jammed and would be luck if 4 peces of food come out before it gets stuck. And I use Rachelle ray so it's not huge peices of food.
Caleb S.
Very cool how you can schedule feedings and talk to your pets through the app! Works good and is a nice part of a smart home
Kia
I really wanted to love this automatic feeder and at first I did. However, lately the feeder has not been working properly. I've had this machine for almost 2 weeks and am having issues already.
Pros
Cathy C.
Got this great smart feeder for my two cats: Captain America and Black Panther. Very easy to connect to my Wifi following the attached instructions. Once finished, I was able to use the iOS app to remotely feed them either according to the programmed schedule or manually. Also the camera works unexpectedly well as a pet monitor and I find myself constantly checking on them and actually end up spending more time with them talking to them using the Wopet app and the best part is that they start recognizing my voice recorded calling them for each meal. Overall it's a solid product and I have not encountered any issue with it so far, it does what it's advertised to do and does it well. I'm satisfied.
LBurgess
Imagine not having to worry about your puppy running out of food. Imagine having a feeder that is super easy to clean. That is exactly what this feeder is and so much more! This is the perfect feeder and my puppy is a dog food feeder snob and refused to eat out of most feeders. She loves this one though!!!!!
AmericanConsumerX
I was very ready to dislike this. It's an off brand and the app looks kind of strange. I've bought a bunch of cheap chinese technology lately and half of it is kind of garbage.
I bought this after the Petnet I was using just wouldn't powerup. Petnet had alot of design issues and so I was ready to look elsewhere. What I was looking for in an automatic feeder:
Ian F.
Very easy to set up and the cat loves it! Camera works great!!
Jnasha
This thing is legit awesome! This automatic pet feeder works really well with Wi-Fi enabled speaker so I can speak to my cat. I can dispense the right amount of food the cat needs even when I'm away from home. It's easy to load keeps the food fresh and keeps my cat from messing up my house with the food he usually throws around. It's a good way to not overfeed your pet and this Rolls Royce of Pet Feeder has a HD camera too I mean I don't know what else I can possibly need! Oh and another thing that is important to me is that it looks nice and and this definitely does!
Gregory Armstrong
I've been using two of these for about 4 weeks now. I usually only use an automated feeder when we're out of town but these units work so well we've just left them running. They seem to be very well designed and constructed. They were extremely easy to get up and running. The app supports multiple feeders. Overall, this feeder is way better than what I was expecting.
Terry A. Hill
Worked great! Kept my cats happy and alive during my 2 day trip, the app was nice and reassuringly let you know that your pet was fed. The initial pairing and setup phase did not work too well on my android but did just fine on my wifes iphone. Once that was done I could log in with my android just fine.
Mary Saari
This feeder saves so much time. No more setting feeding time alarms, opening bags, and doling out portions. I was skeptical at first, but we love it. The schedule is easy to set up, and the backup batteries are reassuring. Both the feeder and the app are well-made.
sarah rogers
Very reliable product from wopet. The build quality is very good and the customer service even better! I don't have to worry about coming home to hangry cats anymore!
Mark Weiss
Better upgrade than the original version - easier to use and set up. I don't particularly like that the food bowl does not sit flush with the floor, it would work though if you have a mat underneath it. Best customer service from a company, they reached out to me when my original one was jamming - and not Bob Marley style. Couldn't be happier with a feeder or company.
Joseph Vokal
This pet feeder is one of my best Wopet purchases. It holds a lot of food, so I can wait to refill it quite a few days. It is very easy to set up the feeding times and amounts. I like that the app indicates if the feeding is coming up soon, or has already happened successfully.
The camera option is fantastic; great image quality on the videos and photos I take with it, as well as if I just want to look and see what's going on while I'm out.
sheila stiles
Very happy with this feeder. My goal in purchasing this was to ensure my cat would be fed when I work late or have to travel. It works as advertised. It gives me a lot of peace of mind in those situations. The feeder was easy to program and easy to clean. Would definitely recommend
Christina Younce
Great feeder! Has really helped us get my puppy on an eating schedule that works for her and us. I love the notifications I get on my phone after each feeding.
Kenneth M. Muse
As a chronic illness patient this makes my life so much easier. I know my baby is always taken care of.
mlr52John
Amazing product. I feel confident in leaving my dog overnight with this system ensuring his meals are available when programmed to. I wish I had this last year!!! Highly recommended
anna p.
I've had this feeder for a couple of months now and I have had very few problems. The setup was quick and easy. It did take a couple of trials to find the right serving. For reference 7 portions is about a cup of food (small kibble). The camera is a nice feature but I hardly use it. It does not have any night features so if the room is dim (not even dark) it will not work. It does have an 'out of food' notification but it is after the food is gone not when the food is low. I just make sure the food never gets too low now because I have ran out and my dog missed a meal before I was notified it was empty. It does hold a whole weeks worth of food for my dog so I do not have to check it often. Overall I am very happy with this feeder.
Wopet Customer
I currently have two of these incredible auto pet feeders, one for each of my two cats that eat different food. I also had one of the previous models I purchased serval years ago that had a night vision camera but all of the other functions are the same on the newer model. The wifi feature on this product allows you to see your home with the built-in camera and you can change the auto settings or manually feed your pets from any remote location in the world. Customer service is also great. The 7 liter capacity is one of the largest on the market. When I go away I have my pet sitter come about once every four days to check up on my cats. My older unit failed after a few years and was replaced by WoPet with the latest model free of charge, even though it was outside of the warranty period.
Ben pressley
Needs to tell you how much food is left or if it's empty. A camera to see the cat eat would be nice.
This is reliable with battery support and logging. It's a great way to monitor my cats food when I'm horrible at tracking his portions.
yvette garadozzi
Perfect operation so far! My cat was scared of it at first, but she quickly warmed up to it. Now I don't have to worry about her gorging herself silly and throwing up all over the carpet. Totally worth it!
Angelica
Needs to be semi-close to the WiFi router however now that it's set up it's been amazing! I don't have to worry now if I'm running late, it notifies me at every feeding and the camera is great feature!
Eric Jensen
Best cat food feeder. The camera doesnt rotate up or down or work in the dark. But it feeds my cats every time which is important. I tried Petnet that always dropped wifi and the app didnt work. This one is way better and always works!
Alisa
This product is very nice. it is very useful for my pet. the quality of this product is excellent. Its price is also reasonable. i recommend the people who want to buy pet feeder try is feeder. you will obviously like it
p lava
this is what I was looking for. it works. once you get the right amount of food adjusted it is just pour some food in every couple of weeks and that's it. I have 2 cats and only bad thing is they freak out and go crazy run for it when the food comes out. I love that you can record a message to your pet. it works even if the power goes off for a while. this is worth the price and I don't spend money on stuff like this but im soooo glad I did. You know your lazy so get this and be a bit lazier.
Vikki T.
I always want something like this for my cat. Before I have to feed my cat in a little bow. And have water bow next to it. The difficulty is to feed him everyday and keep the bow clean and keep the food controlled. My cat could get fat easily and is so hard to keep him not eating. With this product these product can be solved, first I can keep the bow clean because all the cat food is sealed in the machine itself. I also can keep him healthy to feed him the right amount he need and in the time he need to eat. Also the camera is pretty useful to track his activity. Great product to have for your pets.
Carole Fagan
I love the app that makes it so easy to set the feeding times. My old auto feeder was a pain to program with the buttons on the side of the machine and a display that was difficult to read, plus I had two of them and they would never stay in sinc. I use this one with the adapter another user mentioned for my three-cat household and it is the best thing ever.
john schell
I had a needy kitty who always woke me up super early on the weekends. It was driving me crazy, so I decided to try an APP pet feeder. I didn't want to drop much money on it, in case she or I hated it. Turns out we both love this thing. She no longer associates me waking up with her meals and we are both happier. I wish it had a few more slots, so I could get a couple days out of it before refilling, but it's worked like a charm so far. It was easy to setup and we've had no issues. She now comes running from wherever she is in the house when she hears the motor turning. It's not a loud noise, as many times I don't even hear it, but she does and she knows it's time for the yums. Go ahead and splurge. You'll both be happier for it!
denise pent
Once my dogs got used tot he sound of the food dropping, everything was okay. Nice to dispense only a certain amount of food for my kids (cats). Sure glad that to have this and when I take a trip, the sitter does not have to worry about the dry food. I really like this product.
Teri Glaser
This saves a lot of worry if I am not home when the dog needs to be fed.
Josephine Trentham
Exceptional feeder. It can be set to feed small portions and the remote app is great. Even confirms the daily feedings took place.
Barbara Bell
Absolutely love this thing. Holds a lot of food and I have 5 cats. I only have to fill it once a week. This thing is great for portion control. Before I'd just fill 5 bowls and let them eat whenever they wanted and my cats started to gain weight. This helps make sure they only get fed the proper amount and is customizable to any cats needs.
Deborah Stearns
This was really simple to set up. I got two since my cats hat each other and have to eat in separate rooms. It took less than ten minutes to program both units and they work perfectly. It took about a week for my cats to not freak out when the food was dispensed. The very best part is I no longer have two cats shoving their little meowlers under my bedroom door at 5am begging for their 6am meal. Now they just wait by the dispensers for the food to fall. It's also nice not having to arrange for someone to come over twice a day to feed them when we're out of town.
Kevin N.
Amazing This is by far, my favorite pet product to date. Yes, it's a little price but well worth it! I love to just watch him anytime I'm not home. I have a small Frise Bichon/Maltese - who I can see with this camera. I like that it tells me via a notification that my dog is barking - then I can tell her to stop. I love watching him, talking to him and giving her treats from work. This Wopet smartfeeder you can set the time you want to feed and I can control how much to feed him. This is ideal feeder for me because sometime I am stuck at work all day and I feel bad having him go hungry.
Installation process wasn't too bad. Just have to download the app Pet'U apps. Instruction was a little bit confusing but after a few attempts I was able to get it to work with my android phone. I just need to remember to used 2.4GHz on my wifi network.
The picture quality is 1080P but its look clear to me and the sound quality is pretty good. Plus, the night vision works good too.
Overall I am happy and glad they make this invention it's perfect for any pets owner who works a lot and I highly recommend this Wopet Dog Feeder.
Jessie
This thing is so cool! "10 servings" is really 1 serving for my dog (portions dispensed are tiny), so I just have it set to do 10 morning and night. I still get lost of feedings out of what the machine can store. So cool and easy and works great for big dogs too since u can pick your serving size!
Amanda Casey
We love this. The features are great. We are a busy family and sometimes iys hard to make sure we feed our dog consistently at the same time, and shes a lab so she let's us know! I love being able to check on her too, I can see her and talk to her really anytime but especially at meal time. Container is a good size and it has multiple setting for amount of food so that's great because we change the amount during the summer when she is more active. Great product, we are very satisfied.
Welly07
LOVE THIS!! Bought for our golden retriever. Our kids could never remember if they fed him or not. You can adjust how much and times it will feed your animal. You can do an extra feeding or cancel one just by using your phone.
Stephanie
Since getting my mini schnauzer almost two years ago I've been totally obsessed. I was eyeing products like this one, but the options offered for the price was always an issue for me. Either they were way to expensive for not enough options, or it was within my price range but I had to get another product to compensate for what I was missing. I had an Wopet cloud cam, and loves the video, but I hated that I couldn't do any interaction other than my voice. It just left him confused. I've been using this for a week now, and it literally the best part of my day. It makes leaving him for 10-12 hours a day manageable for my heart. Lol stop judging me.
T&W
I've tried a few other brands and this is the best one! The set up is pretty much self explanatory, I didn't even need the instructions, super user friendly. Easy clean up if ever needed. It comes with a smaller dispenser wheel which is great because I have a cat that who eats too fast & with this feeder I can slow down his eating. I replaced to a small dispenser no problem. I don't go out of town much, but my cat is a late night snacker & would wake me up 2-3 times a night begging. Not anymore, thanks to Wopet! He runs towards the feeder once he hears the sound of food falling into the bowl, sometimes he waits around the feeder because he remembers when the food dispenses. The manual feed button is particularly handy in case you don't feel like reaching for your phone. The camera is an awesome feature as well, I can check on my little monster when I'm at work & I can even speak to my cat through the app or tell my husband to run an errand haha! Wonderful customer service & very responsive. Will post pictures soon.
Casino
I love this so much! I have an obese cat who grazes all day. This has helped him loose weight and maintain it. It has a camera so I can see him and allows me to talk also. It's easy to set the timer for his feeedings.
John R.
Wonderful product!! Was super easy to put together and set up. I have a large dog so I needed to set my portion sizes larger as well as how many portions. We ended up with 5 portions equaling a cup for feeding twice a day. App was also great to use and definitely confused the dog a little when calling her through it. Love that I could unplug it and replug in a new location and it saved all my settings. Super excited about this dog feeder and how great the quality is vs others I have used in the past.
Girlmom2
Very nice pet feeder. It makes it so much easier to keep my puppy on a feeding schedule. You just download the app on your phone select how much food you want and what times. I like that they give you a lot of options for the amount of food too.

This is very convenient for days I have to work late so my cats don't have to wait for me to get home to eat. It's also very easy to use.
Wopet Customer
This pet feeder is extraordinary! It makes my life so much easier and it is so easy to use and my dog loves it!
Sunny S.
Good quality, very easy to setup. I like the app that allows many many different settings for feeding, and the camera is pretty good too.
Bhav
I got this from my friend who has a dog it's really tough because we have really tough schedules and I thought this would be a really nice gift. This product works exactly the way I thought it would because he can be away and still have a presence of being home because he's got Wi-Fi connection to his pet feeder device. Not only that, through the app you're able to talk and see your pet right at home no matter where you are as long as you have Wi-Fi. The cool thing is that it is video-enabled and voice-enabled so you can interact as though you were at home. What's really nice is that there are also different portion sizes that you can select. Of note, it's really only for dry food but that's usually what you give anyways. The connection of this app with the product which is super easy to download make this the perfect combination. My friend absolutely loves this gift and you said it so often for his dog.

Can be:
.set for dogs or cats
.operated from a phone, once connected to wifi.
.plugged or on batteries
The camera has low resolution but enough for the purpose.

desired feeder , can controlled by time control. quality product for everyone, must try
Michael T
I have enjoyed this pet feeder. My previous pet feeder was not a "smart" feeder and just dispensed food on a preset schedule. What I have enjoyed about this feeder is not only the camera but the fact that the feeder sends a notificaiton to my phone if the food is empty and no food is dispensed. I think that is a great feature since I have forgotten once or twice to double check the pet food level in my last feeder. One thing I wish was different is that I wish the camera on the feeder was angled slightly down so that you can see the food that is dispensed. Thsi is not a deal breaker as I can still see my cat eating the food but would like to be able to see how much is left. Overall I have enjoyed the feeder.
BlueMoonMom&Dad
I bought this because I have 3 cats and apparently I've been over feeding. Took my cats to the vet and they are over weight, so he asked me to measure and focus on portion control. I used to use one of the 1/2 gallon like jugs that just hang upside down, and my cats were eating all the time whenever they wanted. I'm gone a lot, vets not happy, and I want my cats to be healthy. So I started searching and doing my homework.
This feeder is working great for me and my fur babies! It has many ways of controlling the portion. You can set the exact amount of grams to be fed, 6 times daily. So on the app you choose how much you want it to dispense, title of feeding (ex. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), and you can add a pre-recorded personalized voice message to play when it dispenses their meals.
You can choose different recordings for each individual feeding time, or use the same recording for all feedings. I'm only using the one recording I made (ex. Nola, Oreo, Casper, it's time to eat! HERE KITTY KITTY KITTY! It plays the recording 3 times in a row while dispensing the food. Which is nice because if they don't hear it the first time, they definitely do by the third making sure they don't miss a meal.
Within the first few days they became trained to the feeder. They can be in REM sleep, hear the recording, then immediately jump up to run and eat! It's actually really funny!
The app sends a notification to your phone for every feeding, which prompts me to go in app and check the camera, to make sure all 3 are getting to eat. I can also hear them to make sure they aren't growling at each other, which thank goodness they eat together fine. But if they didn't you can also talk to them in real time from the app.
I really like how the app is set up so you can see the camera on the top half of the screen, and the bottom of half you can choose to take a photo, record, listen, or talk. Or you can click the full screen to enlarge the full picture.
The only thing I really think could have used improvement is the camera angle seems a bit high, for when they have their heads up close and in the bowl. I can only see the top of their heads. However, I don't know though, because if it were lower it would be too close and if it were higher you wouldn't see them at all. Because when they aren't face down in the bowl I can see them just fine. As a matter of fact I think it has a wide lens because I can see my entire kitchen! Which is a pretty neat bonus feature. I have found the app to be very easy to understand, operate and navigate. It does freeze when in camera view sometimes when I forget to close out the app after using, and leave inactive for too long. But it's easy to close and re-open the app.
Overall I have found this to not only meet the needs of fine tuned portion control, but also many other neat features that have made feeding my cats so convenient and most of all FUN! Not only am I feeding them more responsibly to prevent over feeding, but I'm actually enjoying being able to interact with them when I'm not home, checking to make sure they are okay. And it holds alot of food so it's never a chore to feed. I really like this and now that I'm utilizing all of these fun and needed features, I could never go back to my jug feeder. This records every feeding, time, amount fed in grams etc. and stores it in the app. Now I can take this to the vet in a few more weeks to make sure that everything is right for my cats diet, and then he can give me accurate feedback. I hope this helps those who are needing a solution like I did. This would also be great for anyone like me who isn't home a lot or maybe has an unexpected hospital stay, or even use if you have a vacation to go on. This is also nice for those times you can't find a pet sitter on short notice. You can feed, see, talk to, and interact with your fur baby. Holds a lot of food for days when you can't be home which can reduce anxiety in emergency situations. Make sure to place batteries in the compartment in case of power outage. Because if the power goes out while your gone, the feeder will still work as long as you've put the batteries in it. I personally feel this is a great addition to any home with pets for a variety of reasons and therefore would highly recommend!

This is my first time buying a pet feeder, I liked this one because of all the options it provides. The feeder was very easy to assemble. The feeder doesn't take up a lot of space, it is more stable when it is full. The programming is straight forward for the feeder.

We went out of town this past weekend and decided to try this automatic feeder, rather than beg my in-laws to feed our two cats again. This feeder it pretty cool. It's easy to set up, basically just plug it in and download the app. I would recommend that you test out the amount of food per serving -- we have two cats so we needed a bit more than the factory setting allowed. While we were away we could see the cats (when they were near the feeder) and we could talk to them (they obviously heard us because they would come running to the feeder when they heard our voices). It has a backup battery supply in case the power were to go out while we were away. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase.

Ever since moving and not having a trusted someone to come over and check on/feed my cats over weekend trips I was at a loss. I could leave out a ton of food, but then they would eat it too fast and be left with nothing come Sunday. Or it would all sit and go stale. I finally found this feeder and I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner. It was really easy to set up, the app lets you schedule meals & amount of food, and it even came with a thing for smaller or larger food that you can swap out if your kibble is really tiny or really big!
I think my favorite part is how the sound of the motor turning and food hitting the plastic plate has become Pavlovian for my cats and they SPRINT to the kitchen for food now. I can watch them on the little camera when I'm away and I know meal time is coming up, which is a nice little twist.

My dog actually loves eating out of this. Every time the food drops, she comes running. It was a pain in the butt to set up the app because it kept force closing (try an older phone or tablet to set it up, that worked for us), and this is useless without the app. The review rating is just for the feeder though, not the app... Once you get the app configured, the pet feeder is pretty easy to use. It's nice to have a timer function that you can adjust or you can just manually dispense the food via the app.

This works perfectly for my two little yorkies. At first they were scared of the mechanical sounds of the feeder when dispensing, but they quickly figured out that is where the food comes from. I really like being able to check on them during the day using the voice and video option and it's a life-saver for when I get delayed at work (no more worrying about my fur babies!). The included app works great with my iphone.

I compared this to other feeders. This has much higher video quality and audio. Also this is app controlled. I have my dry dog food in there for the week and I can keep any eye on him while I'm at work. You can put a price on keeping your pets safe. Audio quality is nice. He enjoys hearing mewhich puts me a ease as well as him. I don't think you can buy a better feeder so far.

Both of our dogs, a "senior" and a "puppy," like this feeder. They were a little hesitant at first when it made a light sound, but once the food came out, they were all about it. I really like the app. It's easy to download and set feeding timers as well as different portions. You can also manual feed. The video and camera features are really cool, you can see who is eating when. The lid seals tightly to keep food fresh and the bowl is removable for easy cleaning. Very cool!

This holds quite a lot of food and dispenses flawlessly. It is easy to setup and I had no issues connecting through the app in order to access all the features. Camera works well and captures good quality. The timer function has worked every day without any problem. Very pleased with my purchase!

This thing is awesome to say the least. My boyfriend and I both are in college and decided to get a cat together. Sometimes it's really hard to know when either of us will be home with school, work, and general obligations. This has been a life saver for us because we no longer have to worry about if she'll have food! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

This pet feeder is amazing! It comes with two options of large dog food or small so it can measure out how much to push out at one time. When I first set it up it took a little trial and error to figure out how much a 'serving' of my puppy's food was in the portions it gives you. But we have figured out that for a large dog we can do 10 portions 4 times a day (he likes to snack) and it's the perfect amount. The free app is my favorite part. Not only does it make it easy to set up but while I'm at work I can use the video and audio option to check in on my pup. You can even set it to record during meal times.

Simple but pretty outlook. The feeder is controlled the app with remote access and live camera. Feed time and quantities can all be set up by the app.
My pet loves to play with it. Overall, I like the product and strongly recommend.
