Petlibro has introduced its Granary 2 series of automatic dry food feeders, designed to offer pet owners detailed insights into their cats' eating habits. The feeders incorporate AI-powered cameras and built-in scales to track individual pet consumption, eating duration, and feeding frequency. The Granary 2 series ranges in price from $129.99 for the entry-level model to $249.99 for the most advanced version.
The Granary 2 Vision, which was tested, costs $189.99 and features an AI camera capable of recognizing up to 10 cats, allowing it to associate meals with specific pets. This feature is particularly beneficial for multi-cat households where pets have different dietary needs or health requirements. The feeder can also send app alerts for low battery, low food levels, or food jams, and includes a rechargeable backup battery. The camera offers 1080p resolution with night vision and two-way audio, and users can record a voice message to call pets to their meals.
Advanced health tracking and monitoring features require a Petlibro Care subscription, starting at $59.99 per year, while cloud recording and playback for camera-equipped models necessitate a Video Cloud plan at $119.99 per year. The feeders offer Smart Refill Mode for continuous grazing and Scheduled Mode for traditional meal times. The built-in scale measures food in the tray to estimate actual consumption, providing a more accurate picture than traditional feeders that only track dispensed amounts.
