WOPET Automatic Cat Feeder,Pet Dry Food Dispenser for Cats and Dogs with Portion Control and Voice Recorder (3L, White)

Product Information

Large Capacity Hopper - Unit has a transparent hopper,making it easy to see remaining food and to replenish in time.The rotatable latch cover prevents the pet from having unauthorized access to the food.Attached stainless steel food bowl is easy to clean.The large capacity with auto dog feeder ensures your pets stay full and fed no matter where you are. This pet feeder also has a nifty voice recording feature: just press the mic button on the control panel to record a custom message (of up to 10 seconds) for your pet. This message will play as each feeding dispenses. We recorded our own greeting (“Kitties, it’s time to eat!”) but thought that the volume of the voice recording was a bit too soft; we weren’t sure if our cats noticed it. After a few days of testing, however, they knew when their food was coming and waited by the machine in the morning and evening. Schedule Mealtimes - WOPET automatic dog feeder could program up to 4 meals a day to feed your pet,1-8 portions per meal,24g per portion,which can help keep your dog or cat on a healthy and appropriate feeding schedule.Cat feeder customized daily meals to dispense food in right time,never miss a meal when you are working overtime or travelling,otherwise temporarily away. We tested the smaller size (two-liters) in our New York lab and found that a little over seven cups of kibble was the maximum amount it could hold. The manual feeding button works well, and you can press it up to five times in a row for a larger serving. It's easy to dial in precise meal times and serving increments with the Feeder-Robot's robust settings, through which you can dispense up to a full cup of food as frequently as eight times a day. A dispenser that uses 1/4-cup increments is already installed in the Feeder-Robot, but you can swap it for an included 1/8-cup dispenser that provides more precise portion control—though this reduces the maximum single serving to 1/2 cup.

With two rounds of lab testing, the Whisker Feeder-Robot continues its reign as our top choice for cat parents. The adaptable automatic cat feeder has a variety of intuitive feeding options and the most useful app of any feeder we have tested. It also scored especially high marks for its features, effectiveness, timer accuracy, and portion control.

Feed Two Pets At Once And Save Time

This roundup was revamped by Anna Mejorada, a writer for The Spruce Pets, who shares her home with a very cat-like pomeranian, Gidget, which she lovingly refers to as a meoweranian. Before researching and writing about pet products for a living, Mejorada embarked on a self-mandated, ongoing quest to find the optimal items for her dog. She is now delightfully devoted to helping humans discover and select the most favorable products for their pets. Before we experienced the Whisker Feeder-Robot, this highly convenient feeder was our choice for best overall, and the PETLIBRO Automatic Pet Feeder continues to be a reliable automatic feeder with several different configurations at a very reasonable price. Fortunately for people who aren't tech-savvy (ahem, me!), the device is pretty easy to use. Simply fill up the container with dry food and use the LED panel to program your pets' meals, which you can schedule up to four times per day. And not only can you control exactly how much food your kitties get — owners can dispense anywhere from two teaspoons to 4.5 cups at a time — but humans can even record a message for their fur babies when they're away. If you are looking for more moderately priced feeder, the PETLIBRO Air Automatic Pet Feeder is designed to keep out pests and offers the ability to program up to six scheduled feedings with an easy to use interface.

Using a soft cloth, wipe the inside of the base and the food outlet to remove any food particles or residue. This step eradicates any lingering food particles or residue that might have accumulated. While I wasn't exactly sure what the solution was, my darling mother-in-law did the heavy lifting for me when she gifted me a WOpet Patrol 15-Meal Automatic WiFi Pet Feeder for Christmas. Sleek in design and clearly created for calculating animals who have a history of breaking into their dry-food containers — the storage section comes with a break-in-proof latch! — the WOpet was an instant hit in my household. The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder has a very different function than most automatic cat feeders. Instead of regulating your cat's food schedule and ensuring they are fed whenever you are not at home, the SureFeed is more like a cat food gatekeeper. Properly maintaining and cleaning your WOpet automatic pet feeder is essential to ensure your pet's health and well-being. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of bacteria, mold, and food residue, creating a safe and hygienic feeding environment for your furry friend.

Feed Your Cats or Dogs Regularly and Quantitatively

Remove the food trays, stainless steel bowls, and meal splitters. Wash these fountain components with mild soap and warm water. Thoroughly rinse and dry before reassembling them. Our favorite automatic cat feeder is the Whisker Feeder-Robot, which holds lots of food, allows for precise programming, and has our favorite app of any tested feeder, allowing you to easily set meals and monitor your cat's eating habits while you're away. Within each lab session, we monitored and timed the complete setup process, from unboxing and assembly to programming and, if relevant, mobile app activation. For consistency in our results, each feeder was programmed to deliver multiple meals throughout the day, and we monitored to see if feeders were dispensing food on time.

The C500 can be programmed for up to 5 scheduled mealtimes, with each compartment holding 1.25 cups of food. Programming is straightforward, but one tester advised that users pay close attention that they're distinguishing a.m. and p.m. to avoid a missed meal. I bought a Wopet F01 7L feeder (doesn't have wifi feature) in February 2021. Was very happy with it. It did exactly as it was meant to do, absolutely no problems, until it stopped dispensing food in October 2023. Our testers felt that all of the issues they identified were minor. The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder is excellent at what it's designed to do. While this cat feeder only works for very specific scenarios, it handles that scenario with aplomb. Our testers were also split on the food reservoir, which requires both hands to open. It's meant to ensure that your pet can't gain access to the kibble in the reservoir, but testers found it aggravating to open and refill. Cleaning was also a bit of a chore, with multiple components that had to be washed by hand. We tested 24 automatic cat feeders in our New York Citylab with two rounds of thorough assessments spaced several months apart. And after each round of lab testing, each feeder was placed in a real home with a real cat (or small dog) for additional insight into the functionality and reliability of the each automatic pet feeder.Because you add food to the SureFeed using its separate plastic bowl, it can work with wet or dry food. A split bowl that allows you to serve two separate portions at the same time is also included. The feeder's covered design has the additional benefit of protecting food from flies, tamping down smells, and generally keeping wet food fresher. The Wopet Automatic Pet Feeder holds up to seven pounds, or slightly under 30 cups, of dry cat food while providing reliably timed feedings with consistently sized portions. Even with its ability to hold a significant amount of kibble, the feeder has a sleek design that keeps it from looking bulky or overwhelming a space. Before cleaning, unplug the feeder from the power source and remove any batteries to ensure safety. Remember that safety is paramount during cleaning. Fill the food tank with your pet's dry food. Ensure the food is within the recommended capacity to prevent overloading. Set up the feeding schedule and portion sizes according to your pet's needs. To prevent your cat from accidentally tampering with the schedule you put in place, the keypad is located behind a plastic cover that can only be lifted by pressing an exterior button that's flush against the feeder. Plus the structure of the feeder is sturdy and difficult to tip over, so the food contained inside cannot easily be accessed by curious pets.
