PETLIBRO Pet Food Desiccant Bag, 6 Packs Desiccant Bags for Cat Dog Feeder, Keep Pet Food Dry and Fresh, Suitable PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder Model PLAF005, PLAF006, PLAF103, PLAF203, PLAF301

This automatic Feeder is awesome. First, very easy to set up and get it operational... Second, the cloud services are worth the price given what I needed at the time (I did have a difficult time getting the SD Card to work) as I required access to the camera and recordings remotely. Now the story of why this feeder will go down as the best thing we've ever purchased for our animals. Our cat, a 12 weeks old playful tabby named Mango, ran away 3 days after we received the PETLIBRO feeder and unfortunately we had to leave our house for 8 days for a family emergency. So, we were not able to stick around and put food out while we "hoped" that he would return. Enter the PETLIBRO. I placed the feeder outside on our deck and scheduled the feeder to dispense food twice a day. I started with 2/12 of a cup per feeding as I did not want to overflow the bowl within the first several days and with the live camera feed, I was able to monitor the amount in the bowl and stop feedings as needed - great feature BTW. Low and behold, he returned 14 days later on Christmas day evening (video included) as I was notified by an alert on my phone. From that point forward he would return every night at the scheduled feeding time. I believe he heard the feeder dispense the food and that trigger him to come out of hiding (we have several foxes running around). We were not able to return home for several more days so the entire family couldn't wait each night to get the alert that Mango was back for more food and we all gathered around my phone to watch him walk around and eat. We when returned home the entire family set Operation Recover Mango in motion and used the PETLIBRO to alert us when he arrived - we set it up to feed 1/12 cup every two minutes and monitoring the camera during the 15 minute timeframe he typically came to feed. Needless to say it was a success and Mango is back home in his comfy cat bed. I'm surprised at how much food is kept fresh in its reservoir as it did last our entire trip (8 days). Its also very sturdy as it endured severe weather for over 10 days; multiple below 17 degree days, rain, snow, and high winds! It is now back inside and Mango comes running when the feeder starts to dispense food. Will go down in family pet history as a magical. Thank you PETLIBRO!

I got this feeder for my daughter's little feline princess to make life easier for all involved parties. Feline Princess cannot free feed because she doesn't know when to stop, so we had to set her up on a meal schedule. The comings and goings of the humans is different day to day due to work schedules, school schedules, and just life in general. Feline Princess does not understand that the humans aren't always awake or home when she decides she's been starving long enough and starts demanding her food. My sister has used this feeder for her 3 cats and recommended it for our Feline Princess. It was easy to set up, works really well, and has a lot of customization options as far as number, timing, and size of meal offerings. It holds a decent amount of cat food and doesn't take up much space in my daughter's room. Feline Princess no longer has to starve past her meal time and the humans don't have to worry about coming home to a hangry cat. All humor aside, this is a really convenient addition to our cat-owning lives. Cat gets fed whether we're home, awake, or just busy getting other things done around the house. I would buy this automatic cat feeder over and over again if I needed to!

Update a few months after my original review One star, zero if I could. The machine completely stopped working a little over a month ago. I followed troubleshooting available online before emailing customer service. After a few emails exchanged with what was clearly an AI customer service rep, I got a human reponse. The human wasn’t anymore helpful than the AI and a lot slower to respond. A month later and there is no resolution whatsoever. Each reply from the human asked me to try yet one more trouble shooting suggestion, then asked for proof of purchase, then asked me to make drastic changes to my WiFi, then asked me for a video of the machine not working so that they could SEND ME PARTS to repair it myself. So, a product that completely breaks after a few months and laughably terrible customer service. It’s really frustrating too because this product made life a lot easier for us and our dog. Oh well… Five stars based on a few things: 1. It works. It feeds my dog on time, every time and set up was a breeze, including syncing with the app and creating a feeding schedule. The feeding schedule was a little tricky to figure out because it dispenses in units of 1/12 of a cup and I am terrible at math :) But once I figured that out, easy-peasy. I like that you can skip feedings or do one off feedings with just a few taps. 2. The feeder communicates well with the app, as far as I can tell. I get alerts when his food his low, when the desiccant bag needs replacing, if the machine gets kicked offline, and if there is something stuck in the dispenser (this has happened once, with a piece of odd shaped kibble). 3. It "fits" the kibble we feed our dog. I was worried the dispenser wouldn't be wide enough, but aside from one piece of kibble that was odd shaped, we've had no problems. For reference, he eats Purina one chicken and rice formula. I decided to try this when my husband found out he would be traveling for a bit and we needed a way to feed our dog lunch on the days I was working in the office. It's positively changed our routine in terms of other feedings, too. It used to be that our dog would whine for food outside our bedroom door starting around 5:30 am every morning. We tried everything to break him of this, but no luck. I set the schedule so that he gets one half of his breakfast at 4:45 am and the other half at 6:00 am. This has worked like a dream. Now, I usually have to wake him in the mornings when I get up, around 6:45 / 7:00 am. The food dispenser is relatively quiet and we keep it by our backdoor. So, I don't hear it when it goes off in the morning but my dog does. One nice, unexpected side effect is that it keeps him from inhaling his food because it dispenses slowly. If helpful to anyone: my dog is a med to large, about 60 lbs., lab/retriever mix. We haven't tried using the audio function so I can't comment on that (I noticed a few reviews said it doesn't work). I think the true test will be how long it lasts. I've had it almost 2 months and so far, so good, but I'm really hoping it lasts us a good long while. In the meantime, very pleased and recommend this to others.

This was our second try at an automatic feeder for our dogs. We got 2, one for each dog. The previous brand we got started clogging in the first week so we were concerned. I read a lot of reviews on multiple platforms before deciding on this one. We have only had one of these clog once and I think that may have been my fault. We have 2 50+ lb dogs and we were able to put enough food in the large feeders to last 8 days while we were on a trip. It should have lasted 10 days as it is said to hold 20 cups and the dogs were each getting just under a cup of food twice a day but it ran out of food after 16 meals. We had changed to small dog kibble because the previous feeders couldn't handle the regular kibble we used which is not nearly as big as the max size claimed to be able to handle. We are in the process of switching back to the regular kibble now since these are working so well. We will see if that continues. We normally feed our dogs the Kirkland Signature Nature's Own Salmon and Sweet Potato which I think is 12mm sized but switched to the small dog chicken and rice. I love the fact that it tells me when the food backs up in the opening and when the grainary low on food. Those are really helpful notifications. It is annoying that the desiccant only lasts 14 days. Not sure why that is. Our previous one had a camera which it turned out wasn't as helpful as we thought since you can't see their food bowls to determine if they have eaten or not just the tops of their heads while they are eating. So we got a lightbulb camera and hung it above their crates. We can see when they are eating or not with it. Yes, our dogs are crated for meals. They are actually pretty funny as they won't go into their crates to eat if we are home until we go with them. So this hasn't eliminated the need to get up at 6am to feed the dogs. It just means it is faster to deal with and takes less early morning brain power. It has become my morning alarm as their bowls and crates are just in the next room from my bedroom and I can clearly hear them when the food drops into the bowls. We removed the metal bowls and just use the plastic bowl because the metal bowl was too noisy for one dog and too small for the other. One thing different about this feeder is it gives you the amount in parts of a cup instead of weight. It does let you feed all at once or you can break it up into multiple smaller amounts. So far this has been great. Once we get the food switched over to the regular kibble if we have any problems I will come back and report on it.

UPDATE: 8/14/26. The machine works again. Pet Libro has servers that were down and we’re experiencing errors resulting in connectivity issues for every pet libro user. Really odd that it affected everybody’s machines even though none of us had issues with our own Wifi networks. Hope this never happens again. i bought this in july 2024. worked perfectly for two years and i never had any issues with this machine. until yesterday. 8/12/26. the machine disconnected from my wifi even though there was no issue with my wifi. i tried to reconnect and it failed. then successfully connected but the machine disconnects by itself every 3 minutes. gives me “ The device network is abnormal or the device is offline” error all the time. Now it doesn’t let me connect to wifi at all and gives me errors. There are zero issues with my wifi service or router so it is definitely the machine malfunctioning. I connected support to see if they could fix my issue but haven’t heard back from them.

I absolutely love this automatic feeder! My dogs use it every day, and it works perfectly. It dispenses the exact amount of food I program, which gives me peace of mind. It is also very easy to set up and clean. What I love most is that I can feed my fur babies even when I’m not at home. It makes my life so much easier and ensures they receive their meals on time. The only thing I like a little less is that it uses a filter to help keep the food dry. While this is a great feature for my pets’ health and food freshness, the filter needs to be replaced from time to time. Overall, I highly recommend this automatic feeder. It is convenient, reliable, and makes taking care of my pets much easier!

5L fits a 5lb bag of food perfectly. I use this product to feed my cat in the mornings. After you set the schedule, it is comforting knowing the app lets you know when food has been dispensed so you know your cat/dog/other is being fed! I double check every few days out of habit but have never had a problem. It also gives you accurate low food warnings. Once in a while it has network connection issues which tend to resolve itself fairly quickly. My cat has small kibble so I have never had issues with the food dispensing. I actually just took it apart to clean it today which was a breeze. One of my requirements for a feeder was that it could be cleaned everywhere the food touches, and this one can. Very easy to put back together. Just remember to test dispense a few times, as it may not dispense any kibble on the first go around after cleaning. You can also save a buck by buying off brand moisture absorbing packs made for food, although I buy the recommended ones to support the brand. This is an excellent, not complicated product that integrates technology just enough but not too much. Exactly what I needed. Edit: I traveled out of country for a couple weeks, and the feeder had network connection issues for a few hours. After I had touched ground at my destination, though, the feeder continued on as normal based on the time zone I had set it up in. I continued to receive the normal notifications that my cat was being fed and I confirmed it was at the correct time based on those who I had looking after my cat while I was gone. I will add that this brand is top notch when it comes to making sure their customer base is happy. They send email notifications when there is a wide spread network connection issues, etc. Edit: Going on nearly 2 years and this feeder still works wonderfully! No rusting of screws or breakdown of any components from the numerous times I have taken it apart to clean it. I noticed the feeder, for a while anyhow, disconnected randomly at 3am multiple times in a row. The brand (or maybe my internet provider) seemed to catch this problem, though, and now I no longer have this issue. Always wonderful to have a product from a brand that consistently cares about their customer base. Note this feeder does not require a subscription for basic needs.

We’ve had this feeder for over 2 years now and it’s truly awesome. We bought the expansion bowl for 2 cats and it really works wonders. Easy to set up and the app interface is easy to use. We’re buying another one for our third cat.

Edit: Increase rating base on Petlibro wonderful consumer service. Brought up the issue to the original company and after reviewing the video to prove it was the base that was the issue, Petlibro sent me a replacement base. I just got it and it is working so far. Crossing fingers it last more than 2 years. Original: After 6 month of use (and it wasn’t set to go off everyday either), the motor is dead. I keep getting an error message on the app saying the motor is stuck and to clean out the feeder but that’s not the issue. I’ve tried cleaning the machine out and it’s not a food blockage. The motor just won’t turn anymore. I've tried gently turning the motor manually and it won’t budge. There’s no way to open the machine to look under the motor to see if there’s an issue too. Very disappointing. The feeder isn’t cheap either

I had initially thought that this was 6 packs of 4 each. But it's just 6 items in the pack for almost £20. I doubt that this costs more than 20p to manufacture. And they want you to replace them every 2 weeks!

Je l'utilise dans un appartement de 70m2 environ pour un seul chat, qui l'entend avant moi et se précipite en courant pour regarder les croquettes tomber dans la gamelle. L'application pour programmer la gamelle est simple à utiliser (j'ai la fibre), la gamelle se nettoie facilement et ça me fait un souci en moins à gérer lorsque je suis toute la journée au travail. Le seul petit inconvénient c'est que j'aimerais pouvoir réduire la portion car même au minimum cela fait beaucoup. Mon chat se régule et n'a pas pris de poids, je le trouve même moins glouton qu'avant, comme s'il savait que de toute façon sa gamelle se déclenche trois fois par jours.

Great product

El alimentador llegó en muy buenas condiciones y en tiempo. El producto es bueno. Es fácil de lavar, fácil de instalar y fácil de programar. Ya funcionando, trabaja sin problema alguno. Tiene opción de alimentación programada o manual a través de la app o desde el alimentador. Envía alertas programadas. En mi caso lo utilizo para mi gatita. Específicamente para control de alimentación y peso porque está esterilizada. Desde el punto de vista de mejora, al comprar nosotros croquetas pellet de 5mm, el peso del alimento que dispensa es de 15g por lo que (por indicaciones) solo podemos darle 65g al día. Esos 5g faltantes terminó dándoselos en algún momento del día, pero si me gustaría que para el aparato vendieran aparte un dosificador para comida y snacks, es decir que pudiera dispensar 5g y 10g y 15g para pellets de 5mm ya que con eso puedo darle alimento en el transcurso del día en pequeñas cantidades para controlar mejor su apetito. Fuera de eso, el aparato es un 10/10.
