As any dedicated pet owner would know, our pets need love, attention, and care. However, life can sometimes get in the way and prevent us from feeding our pets at a regular time, forcing us to feed them later than what they’re normally used to. Whether that’s because of leaving work later than normal or simply because you have too many house chores to take care of, forgetting to feed your pet can be quite nerve-wrecking. That’s where automated pet feeders come in, as these pet gadgets not only give pet owners some peace of mind by helping them with the task of feeding their pets automatically and at regular times, but they also allow owners to regulate the amount of food served to their pets. Lastly, since cats and dogs can quickly acclimate themselves to having a specific feeding schedule, after some time of setting modest portion feed times throughout the day, that can ultimately result in remarkable health changes for your pet(s). That said, if you’re on the market for an Automated Pet Feeder for your pet, consider going with the PETLIBRO 4L WIFI Automatic Pet Feeder.
The PETLIBRO 4L WIFI Automatic Pet Feeder features automated feeding schedules for your pet with customizable meal times and portions, which are all based on your pet’s age, weight, and activity.
These automated feeding schedules can be quickly set up via its or via its Smartphone Companion App. Alternatively, pet owners can also use the feeder’s built-in Control Panel to instantly have it dispense one food portion. Not only that, but thanks to its 4L capacity, this automated pet feeder can offer owners enough sustenance for their pet(s) for multiple days, and that goes for both cats as well as for small dogs.
Lastly, the unit can also be configured to feature a 10-second voice-alarm (based on your voice) to call your pet(s), thus letting them know it’s time for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Overall, this automated pet feeder can help you ensure that your pet is fed at regular times, allowing your little four-legged friend to feel safe as well as more connected with you during his/her feeding times, which for the latter, is all thanks to the system’s voice recording functionality, which will play your voice during feeding times, even when you’re away.
So, let’s have a more detailed look at this automated pet feeder and check out everything that it has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the feeder’s size, the PETLIBRO 4L WIFI Automatic Pet Feeder measures exactly 7.5 inches long by 7.5 inches wide by 12 inches tall, and it weighs exactly 4.73 lbs.
Overall, the unit features a somewhat bulky body, but I mean that in a good way, as that ultimately helps to ensure that your pet won’t be able to knock it over if your little furry mate ever happens to get overly excited during his/her feeding time.
As mentioned before, this automated pet feeder features a 4L (16.9 cup) capacity food tank, which is more than enough to ensure that your pet will have food for a couple of days, giving you the peace of mind of knowing that your pet can stay fed, healthy and happy at regular times, even if you happen to be away from home due to a business trip or even if you’ve gone out for a weekend or on a short vacation.
It’s also worth to mention that the feeder’s 4L pet-food tank / dispenser features a fully-enclosed design, which ultimately helps to ensure that your pet isn’t able to shake the unit’s 4L kibble dispenser around in order to get some extra food out of the feeder during his/her automated feeding times.
In other words, the PETLIBRO Automatic Pet Feeder can only be opened by using two hands simultaneously, and this smart design basically prevents pets from knocking the unit down, thus ensuring that excessive eating.
Keep in mind that the grain / kibble size supported by this automated pet feeder is exactly between 0.07 inches to 0.4 inches in diameter (meaning 2mm to 10mm), and you should also only fill it up with dry pet food.
Additionally, this automated pet feeder also comes equipped with a Detachable Food-Grade Stainless Steel Tray that helps to ensure that its automated feeding functions are always both healthy and hygienic, and that also helps to ensure that your pets don’t ever end up contracting chin acne. This Detachable Food-Grade Stainless Steel Tray measures exactly 2 inches deep, allowing your pets to easily it from it without any effort so that they can enjoy their meal-times in a relaxed way.
Thanks to this detachable design, cleaning the feeder’s Stainless Steel Tray is also a very easy task, as literally all you have to do is to just pull it out in order to give it a good clean.
Furthermore, integrated into the feeder’s top lid, we also have a small built-in Desiccant Box, which measures 3.5 inches long by 3.5 inches wide by just 0.4 inches thick,
This Desiccant Box comes with an included desiccant bag that ultimately helps to keep your pet’s dry kibbles fresh inside the feeder’s 4L food tank.
Last but not least, while this is an electric-powered automated pet feeder that’s primarily powered via its 5V DC Power Adapter, the unit also comes equipped with a Back-Up Batteries System that works as its secondary power source, which ultimately helps to ensure that your pet(s) is (are) always fed, even during unexpected power outages. The feeder’s Back-Up Batteries System works with 3 alkaline D-cell batteries, but keep in mind that these do not come included.
The feeder’s Back-Up Batteries System works together with a Memory Safety functionality, and that also helps to ensure that the feeder’s current automated pet-feeding settings are never lost.
INTERFACE
As mentioned before, this automated pet feeder can have its automated feeding schedules fully configured via its built-in Control Panel, which comes integrated at the center of the unit.
From top to bottom, we have a Microphone Button (used to record a 10-second voice-alarm that’s played automatically when its time for your pet’s automated meal schedules), followed by a Reset Button (to reset the feeder’s current settings), and a slightly larger Feed Button that allows pet owners to have the feeder instantly dispense one food portion.
CONNECTIVITY
Since the PETLIBRO 4L WIFI Automatic Pet Feeder is a WiFi-enabled automated pet feeder, it also features WiFi connectivity, meaning that it can be connected to your WiFi network via a 2.4GHz WiFi connection. Thanks to that, pet owners can use all of the feeder’s functionality to have a WiFi remote feeding solution that can be used from anywhere and at any time.
That said, if you have a 5G WiFi network, keep in mind that in order to get this Automated Pet Feeder working, you’ll have to add a 2.4GHz configuration to your WiFi network’s settings to be able to add the feeder to your network’s approved list of Smart Home devices.
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The Smart Life Smart Living App
As said earlier, this automated pet feeder can have both its meal times and food portions fully customized (these are based on your pet’s age, weight, and activity) and that can be done via the unit’s Smartphone Companion App, called the Smart Life Smart Living App, which is available to download for free for both iOS and Android devices.
Via the App, pet owners can remotely program up to 10 meals with personalized feeding times, allowing them to have the feeder automatically feeding their four-legged friend(s) at regular times.
Additionally, the App also offers you Precise Portion Control, where you can choose between 1 to 12 portions per meal, and each single serving / portion is about 12.5ML (0.84 tablespoon) of dry kibbles, this helping pet owners to ensure that they can maintain a healthy feeding for their pets, which ultimately helps them to better regulate their pet’s overall weight in a healthy manner.
Not only that, but the App also allows pet owners to track their pet’s feeding records for weight- and health-management control.
Last of all, via the App, pet owners can also configure the feeder to play a 10s voice-recording message (requires to be previously recorded via the unit’s Control Panel, by pressing the Microphone Button) whenever its time for their pet’s automated meal, and that can ultimately make your pet feel more connected to you in order to further enhance the bond that you and your pet have together.
