Best automatic pet feeders compared in 2026

Automatic pet feeders can help when you want meals to arrive at set times, whether you are out for the day or simply like a bit of routine. This roundup compares seven Petlibro models, from an £89.99 app-scheduled dry food feeder to a £249.99 camera feeder with AI pet recognition. Most hold 5 L of dry food. One suits a single pet with an RFID collar tag, and one is made for wet food instead. Features such as cameras, bowl scales and dual bowls change the price quite a bit, so it helps to decide what you actually need first. This is desk research based on the product details supplied, not hands-on testing.

Our standout pick

Granary Smart Camera Feeder

The Granary Smart Camera Feeder is our pick on the facts supplied. For £149.99 you get a 5 L dry food hopper, app scheduling and a 1080p camera, so meals can be planned from your phone and you can see the feeder area too. It costs less than any of the three Granary 2 models, and it avoids the subscription notes attached to some features on those. The compact 34 x 19 x 19 cm body and 1.7 kg weight also make it easy to place. It has a single bowl and no bowl scale, so households that want those extras should look higher up the range. This choice comes from comparing the listed facts, not from testing.

The details

Seven Petlibro automatic feeders compared

01 · Best Budget Pick

Granary Smart Feeder

The most affordable dry food feeder here, with app scheduling and a choice of single or dual bowl.

At £89.99, the Granary Smart Feeder is the lowest-priced model in this roundup. It holds 5 L of dry food and is run through an app, so feeding times can be set from your phone. Power comes from a USB adapter, and a battery backup is available as an optional extra, which gives some thought to what happens if the mains drops out. It also comes in single or dual bowl versions, so you can match it to one pet or two. If you only want scheduled dry meals and no camera, it is the simplest way into the range.

02 · Best Overall

Granary Smart Camera Feeder

A 5 L dry food feeder with app scheduling and a 1080p camera at a mid-range £149.99.

The Granary Smart Camera Feeder pairs a large 5 L hopper with app scheduling and a 1080p camera. That mix suits anyone who wants to set meals remotely and keep an eye on things while they are away. It measures 34 x 19 x 19 cm and weighs 1.7 kg, so it should fit into most kitchens or utility rooms without taking over the floor. It is priced well below the Granary 2 Vision models, which makes it the more affordable way to get a camera in this line-up. It is a single bowl design, so it is better suited to one pet than a busy multi-pet home.

Key specifications

Food type: Dry food
Capacity: 5 L
Control: App + scheduled feeding

03 · Best for Controlled Access

One RFID Smart Feeder

An RFID-based feeder that opens only for one paired pet, at £169.99.

The One RFID Smart Feeder takes a different approach from the other dry food models. It works through an app and a paired RFID collar tag, and access is limited to one pet. That can be useful in a home where only one animal should be eating from this feeder. Its hopper holds 3 L, which is smaller than the 5 L found on most of the others here. It is also the largest and heaviest dry food model on the list, at 44.2 x 19.6 x 32 cm and 2.8 kg, so it is worth checking where it will sit.

Price snapshot: £169.99 at PETLIBRO UK, recorded 2026-11-04. Retailer prices can change.

Key specifications

Food type: Dry food
Capacity: 3 L
Control: App + RFID collar tag
Pet access: One paired collar tag
Dimensions: 44.2 × 19.6 × 32 cm
Weight: 2.8 kg

What stands out

Paired RFID collar tag limits access to one pet
App control for managing feeds

Things to consider

3 L capacity is smaller than the 5 L hoppers on most other feeders here
Largest dry food model at 44.2 x 19.6 x 32 cm and 2.8 kg

04 · Best for Smart Refill

Granary 2

A 5 L feeder with a 1 g bowl scale and smart-refill mode for £139.99.

The Granary 2 is for owners who want more control over portions than simple scheduling allows. As well as app-scheduled feeding, it offers a smart-refill mode, and its bowl scale measures in 1 g increments. That level of detail may suit people who like to keep a close watch on how much food goes in the bowl. There is no camera, which sets it apart from the Vision models. Some eating-pattern alerts need a separate subscription, so it is worth checking what you would be paying for before you buy.

Price snapshot: £139.99 at PETLIBRO UK, recorded 2026-11-04. Retailer prices can change.

Key specifications

Food type: Dry food
Capacity: 5 L
Control: App + scheduled or smart-refill
Portion measurement: Built-in bowl scale, 1 g increments
Camera: No

What stands out

Bowl scale measures in 1 g increments
Offers both scheduled and smart-refill modes

Things to consider

05 · Best for AI Pet Recognition

Granary 2 Vision

Adds a 1080p camera and AI pet recognition to the Granary 2 feature set for £229.99.

The Granary 2 Vision builds on the Granary 2 by adding a 1080p camera and AI pet recognition. It keeps the 5 L hopper, scheduled and smart-refill modes and the 1 g bowl scale, so it is one of the most feature-rich single-bowl options here. That makes it a fit for people who want to see and measure what is happening at mealtimes. It costs £229.99, which is £90 more than the standard Granary 2. Some of its insights may depend on a subscription, so factor that in when comparing running costs.

Price snapshot: £229.99 at PETLIBRO UK, recorded 2026-11-04. Retailer prices can change.

Key specifications

Food type: Dry food
Capacity: 5 L
Control: App + scheduled or smart-refill
Portion measurement: Built-in bowl scale, 1 g increments
Camera: 1080p; AI pet recognition

What stands out

1080p camera and AI pet recognition on top of a 1 g bowl scale
Choice of scheduled or smart-refill modes

Things to consider

Priced at £229.99, well above the Granary Smart Camera Feeder
Some insights may depend on a subscription

06 · Best for Multi-Pet Homes

Granary 2 Vision Duo

A dual-bowl, camera-equipped feeder with multi-pet recognition for £249.99.

The Granary 2 Vision Duo is aimed at households with more than one pet. It combines a 5 L hopper, a 1 g bowl scale and a 1080p camera with AI pet recognition and multi-pet recognition. The dual-bowl layout means two animals can be served from the same unit. It is the most expensive model in this roundup at £249.99, so it makes most sense if you will use the extra bowl and recognition features. For a single pet, a cheaper model in the range covers the basics.

Price snapshot: £249.99 at PETLIBRO UK, recorded 2026-11-04. Retailer prices can change.

Key specifications

Food type: Dry food

Dual bowl with multi-pet recognition for shared homes
Combines a 1080p camera, AI pet recognition and a 1 g bowl scale

Things to consider

Most expensive model in the roundup at £249.99
Extra features may be unnecessary for a single-pet home

07 · Best for Wet Food

Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder

A cooled wet food feeder that handles three meals across up to three days, at £179.99.

The Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder is the only wet food model here, and it is not a dry food feeder. It uses semiconductor cooling and app control to serve up to three meals across up to three days. That could help owners whose pets eat wet food and who are away for a short stretch. It measures 36.1 x 34 x 19.6 cm and weighs 3.4 kg, making it the heaviest unit in the group. The retailer advises not to store raw meat in it, so it is only suitable for the food types it is intended for.
