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

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this product has genuinely made such a difference that I felt like I should. I have two cats with very different dietary needs. One has GI issues and has to eat expensive prescription food, while my other cat is a total glutton who desperately needed to lose weight. I originally looked at the microchip feeders, but I just couldn’t justify spending twice as much. I found these instead, but after reading some of the negative reviews, I was a little hesitant. I’m so glad I took the chance. We’ve been using these feeders for about five months now, and they’ve worked flawlessly. My overweight cat has actually lost weight because he can’t steal his sister’s prescription food anymore, and my cat with GI issues is finally able to eat the food she needs without interference. The app is fantastic. I can see how many times each cat eats throughout the day, how much they’ve eaten, and it even notifies me when food is running low. I’ve also seen people mention clogging issues, but in my experience, the only time I get a clog notification is when one of my cats leaves food sitting in the bowl too long. Once they finish eating, everything goes right back to normal. For anyone who has multiple cats on different diets, these feeders are worth every penny. They’ve saved me money on prescription food, helped one cat lose weight, and given me peace of mind knowing both cats are eating exactly what they should. I would absolutely buy them again and highly recommend them!

These are 4.5 stars. There are a few glitches that can be worked around. Overall good feeder. First, the stupid tag and collar. I hate them. I don't like the collar because it is far too difficult to get undone. I can't imagine putting it on a cat and trying to take it off without strangling the cat. I bought 2 sets of feeders they came with slightly different collars, but both sets of collars were equally difficult to get undone. I bought 2 RFID tags from somewhere else (you have to get the right kind or they will never connect, but say they did), the ones I bought work well, and they hang down lower, which brings me to the second issue. Second, 2 feeders do well with the tags (the ones the feeders came with or the ones I bought separate) just dangling higher in front of the feeder. However, 2 of the feeders did not work like that. The feeders would not open unless the tag was touching or almost touching the pad. That isn't the way that's supposed to go because when the cat goes to eat, the tag is not touching anymore. I had to add a 1" loose leaf binder ring to the tags so they would hang down low enough. I feel like this is not a permanent solution, but it works for now and doesn't seem to have interfered with their bathing. The little dry bags are not necessary to buy if you don't put a ton of food in at a time (but who wouldn't fill it all the way up?) I have had a non-RFID feeder that I never put a dry packet in for and the food never went bad or moldy, so I will see what happens. Maybe the tank is different than the other one? Setup was really easy and quick. Zero issues. I thiught there were issues when the door wouldn't stay open for the cat, but that is not a setup issue. I wish the app would let you permanently decline the service they try to sell you, or even snooze it for 30 days. It gets irritating if you tap on something and then it suggests a subscription. I have had the foo(Solid Gold Everyday Nutrition) jam in the shoot. If that happens, clear the jam, then do a manual feed, too. I have seen other cats go to other feeders, get confused, and tey to open the other feeder by different means. They could not get in. We had old RFID feeders without a hopper, and those worked well until the dogs realized if they just shoved the cat out of the way and shoved their own head in and did noy remove their head until they were done, they could eat all the cat food. That is not the case with these feeders. They could get a little food, but the door gently pushes under the snout. The only option for the dog is to try to flip the door before it fully closes, to keep the door from latching. I don't knkw how well that would work out for them. They have not attempted that. The hopper holds a decent amount of food. The old non-RFID feeder was diuble the size and feeding 2 cats, so this is about right, you would want to check the food every so often anyway. And, the dish has little side walls, so the prevents unwanted sniffers from getting into the food while the cat is still sitting there. The display is kind of cool because you can change it to a picture or change it to the cat's name. I have it on the name because there are 4 feeders and I need to remember which one gets the prescription food. The display IS nice to have, but it isn't anything fancy. Just basic dot clusters for the display. I like the stainless steel dish, and that it's removable. Now I get to see if the weird chin stuff on one of the cats has to do with the dish he had previously been eating out of. The app is really nice. The non-RFID feeder worked with an app, but would not tell me if the food ran out. It let me schedule feedings and notified me of jams. The Petlibro lets me set up feeding schedules, manually feed, manually open the lid change the name on the LED, and tells me if the food is out. Only issue is with clearing a jam. I cleared a jam on one feeder and the app said it was clear, but the feeder, itself, said it was still jammed. I did a manual feed and that cleared the error message on the feeder. Portions. The portions of food are odd. They almost seem like too much food. My chunky cat (13 lbs British Shrot Hair/Scottish Fold) cannot keep up on the volume of food a 1/2 cup per day. That would be 2 feedings at 3/12. I have to turn her feeding schedule off until she catches up. I haven't tried to change the meal call, and actually never hear it, so I don't know how it sounds or if it does anything. I do know the cats can hear the food dispensing because I can check their eating history and see that they went right after food was dispensed. The eating history on the app is nice. I've had to tell a vet if a cat has stopped eating or decreased, and you can tell by the history if they are eating less or about the same. This is helpful. If my litter robots break, I may try the Petlibro litter box, and just be full circle with their product line. For sure having a litter box that weighs the cats has been useful for telling a vet when the started losing weight and having it all in one spot would be fantastic. So far, good product, with minor mods for the RFID tags, and I would not use the collar the tags come with. All 4 were difficult to undo.

These feeders are working well and giving my cats what they need with some irritations surrounding the dispensed amounts. Pros: - Arrived quickly - Easy to put together - Easy to setup - Works well - Love the phone app! Cons: - The smallest dispensed amount shows as 1/12 cup which would be perfect if it was truly 1/12 of a cup. I originally set it up for 6 feedings per day which would have been a half cup of food per day for each cat. Perfect. Except the "1/12" cup is really closer to 1/4 to 1/3 cup by volume so I was way overfeeding my cats! Luckily I realized it pretty early on so I changed the feeding schedule to twice per day. One cat always has food in her dish but the one I have to watch for obesity is always looking for more food. I would prefer to give him smaller meals 4-6 times per day but the feeder will not dispense a smaller amount. This is the reason for the 4 star review. This is really disappointing. I think he'd be happier "grazing" several times per day if I could do this with this feeder. - The feeders are expensive - The collars that come with the device are terrible. I replaced them with breakaway collars I purchased. I just put the sensor on the new collars - the feed doors are slow to close so if you have a sneaky cat or dog hanging around nearby, they may be able to snatch a few bites before the door closes. - this feeder requires a collar sensor. I find myself wishing I could have found one that works by sensing the cat's microchip. All in all these feeders are doing what I needed which was to feed different food to each cat without my dog stealing it. In this they are working. I just wish they would dispense smaller amounts so I could feed more times per day. I attached a picture of a 1/3 measuring cup. It is hard to see but that cup is nearly full. It is dispensing way more than 1/12 of a cup.

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.

I bought two PETLIBRO RFID feeders with so much excitement. After researching different options, I truly believed I had finally found the perfect solution to stop my kitten, Teo, from constantly stealing food from Mía. When the feeders arrived and I set them up, I was genuinely happy. Watching each of them calmly eating from their own feeder made me feel like the problem had finally been solved. Unfortunately, that feeling didn’t last long. After one of my kittens finished eating, the feeder door remained open during the few extra seconds it is programmed to stay open before closing automatically. During that brief period, my other kitten walked over to the feeder and rested one of his front paws on the edge while trying to eat. When the door began to close automatically, his paw became completely trapped between the lid and the edge of the feeder. He immediately cried out in pain and desperately pulled with all his strength trying to free himself, but he couldn’t. I panicked and tried to help him immediately. First, I tried to bring my other kitten close so the feeder would reopen using her RFID collar, but she was so frightened by seeing her little brother crying out that she ran away and hid under the bed. I then tried to open the lid by hand, but Teo was moving and jumping around in panic so violently that I couldn’t safely get my hand close without risking hurting him even more. At the same time, I desperately grabbed my phone to open the feeder through the app. Just as I was finally about to open it, Teo managed to pull his paw free on his own. It all lasted only a few seconds, but to me, it felt like an eternity. As a result, three of his little toes became very red and sore. Fortunately, he did not suffer a more serious injury, but that moment alone was enough for me to completely lose confidence in this product. As evidence of what happened, I have attached a photograph taken that same day. You can still clearly see the redness on three of his toes, especially the middle one. The picture was taken after I had already waited for a while and applied ice to help reduce the swelling and redness. Even then, the redness was still clearly visible. Immediately after the incident, his paw was noticeably much redder. Seeing my kitten like that was truly heartbreaking. The entire reason I bought these feeders was to protect each of my kittens’ food. However, no benefit is worth the risk of a pet becoming trapped or injured by the closing mechanism. As a pet owner, I believe that any product designed to physically interact with animals should place safety above everything else. After this experience, I believe this design deserves a thorough review by the manufacturer to help ensure that an incident like this cannot happen again. For that reason, I will be returning both feeders. I simply can no longer use them with the peace of mind that my kittens will be completely safe. I am sharing my experience respectfully because I believe other pet owners deserve to know about it before making a purchasing decision. I sincerely hope my experience helps prevent another kitten—and another family—from having to go through such a frightening experience.

Petlibro RFID is a great feeder! The RF id tag & collar are ideal to allow only the cat you want to use the feeder, and dis-allowing other cats from feeding from it. You do need one for each cat in a multi-cat home (we have 2). We can now schedule feedings with prescription dry food in one and normal food in the other, with no worries. The warranty is a 2 year coverage. We had to make use of it. The protective lid stopped working and wouldn't open when the appropriate cat came to it. The 1st-level support people were very friendly and helpful. After doing the steps they requested, they moved it to the next level supervisor. Though this wasn't as fast the the 1st-level support, they did send a replacement. The replacement works perfectly, and we can properly separate the feeding for both cats. My personal experience with warranties and how they are handled decides whether I'll by another product from that company. I will buy again from Petlibro.

I got this feeder for my almost one year old tabby who needs multiple feeding times per day due to gaining far too much weight with open feeding. So far it is doing that alright. Even though you can’t accesses all the app abilities with out paying :( you can still set a basic feeding schedule for the machine with controlled portion size. I appreciate the small portions, starting at (allegedly, I did not measure) one twelfth of a cup. So far I have not set it to any larger than that. If there was a smaller portion, I would try it. The set up was super easy, though I first had it close by our other SURE feeders and even though they are paired to microchips, the Libro machine caused all of them to stop functioning. 🙀 I ended up moving the Libro machine to a completely different room to prevent RFID interference. I really wish that the Libro feeder was also microchip compatible. I don’t make my indoor only cats wear collars and the tag is large and clunky, hitting the feeder when he eats and interfering with his play & grooming. :/ Also, the collar is not breakaway. I tugged on it quite hard with no results, there’s no way he could get out of it if stuck. :( I also think the range or direction of the sensors could be adjusted. If he is just next to the feeder it will open, allowing any other cats to eat the food. 🤦‍♀️ This feeder was expensive, but I would pay more to have microchip compatibility. Would be nice if more of the app was included in the original price too. -_- It seems to be sealed well, and has the little spot for a desiccant pouch but I feel like it may be more hygienic if the food storing part was stainless steel? Side note- I completely turned off the led display/touch buttons, sound & meal call. I just have no interest in those functions. Looking forward to the microchip version!

The best feeder ever! I’m a huge Petlibro fan. The first product I bought was the automatic camera feeder, and later I purchased two stainless steel water fountains. Recently, my older cat developed some intestinal issues, so we had to switch him to a special prescription kibble. The problem was that my other two cats loved the new food and wouldn’t let him eat it. That’s when I decided to buy this feeder, and the experience has been amazing. My cats have never been comfortable wearing collars, but surprisingly, it wasn’t a problem at all. The feeder works perfectly, and I love that it notifies me whenever my older cat comes to eat. It has made managing his diet so much easier. The only downside is that the subscription is a bit too expensive for me, but the good thing is that the feeder works perfectly well even without it. I ordered it from Colombia during the Amazon Prime Days sale, and the delivery was surprisingly fast. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

Es increíble! Mis gatitas no se llevan muy bien asi que nos evita muchísimas peleas! Te notifica cuando hay que rellenar el alimentador y puedes cambiar los horarios de alimentación desde la app.

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.

Great product, even if you cant get one of your cats into their collars...
