Petlibro has expanded its pet tech lineup with the Granary 2 series, a new range of automatic dry food feeders designed to provide detailed insights into cats’ eating behaviors. The series includes four models priced between $129.99 and $249.99, featuring app-controlled feeding, portion tracking, and AI-powered cameras for multi-pet recognition.
The entry-level Granary 2 offers precise portioning and intake monitoring, while the Granary 2 Vision model adds a camera capable of identifying up to 10 cats and tracking each pet’s individual eating patterns. For households with multiple pets, the Vision Duo model features two separate dispensing chutes and bowls to deliver individualized portions. The top-tier Granary 2 X uses AI to tailor portion sizes to pets with specific dietary needs.
A key innovation across the series is the built-in scale that measures food in the bowl, allowing the feeder to track not only dispensed amounts but also how much food remains after feeding. This enables more accurate monitoring of actual consumption, unlike traditional feeders that only log dispensing times.
The companion app compiles data on intake, eating duration, feeding frequency, and preferred eating times, presenting these insights in daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views. This comprehensive tracking can help pet owners detect subtle changes in appetite or behavior that might indicate health issues.
The feeders support two main feeding modes: Smart Refill Mode, which dispenses smaller portions throughout the day up to a set daily limit, and Scheduled Mode, which allows users to set specific feeding times and portion sizes. A manual feeding option is also available.
The AI camera-equipped models enhance multi-pet management by recognizing individual cats and associating meals with their profiles, only dispensing food when the correct pet is detected. The 1080p camera includes night vision and two-way audio, enabling remote monitoring and communication with pets. Users can also record messages to call their cats to eat.
Additional features include app alerts for low battery, low food levels, and feeder jams, plus a rechargeable backup battery for power outages. However, some advanced health tracking and cloud video recording features require subscription plans starting at $59.99 and $119.99 per year, respectively.
Overall, Petlibro’s Granary 2 series offers a sophisticated solution for pet owners seeking detailed feeding management, especially in multi-cat homes. For those prioritizing affordability, alternatives like Pawsync’s $79.99 feeder provide built-in scales and portion control without AI-powered recognition.
