The 8 Best Automatic Pet Feeders for Dogs and Cats

Keep your kitty fed even when you're away with the PetLiRO Automatic Cat Feeder. This feeder dispenses preportioned meals at programmed times, ensuring your feline friend gets the right amount of food throughout the day. It features a 3-liter capacity food container and a user-friendly control panel for scheduling feedings. Plus, you can set a “meal call” for your pet with your own voice recording — almost like you’re there!

Similar to the feeder above, this one features a 10-second "meal call" that allows you to broadcast your voice to your pet. It generally offers the same features, such as preportioning meals and ensuring your pet gets the right amount of food throughout the day. However, the standout feature is its slow feeding function, which dispenses food at a slower rate over 10 minutes to help prevent overeating.

This medium-size feeder holds up to 5 pounds of kibble so that your furry friend has a steady supply of food throughout the day. The clear container allows you to easily monitor food levels, and the gravity-fed design automatically dispenses food as needed (without electronics!). Made with durable, BPA-free plastic, it’s easy to clean and dishwasher-safe.

The Oneisall Automatic Can Food Dispenser boasts a large 20-cup capacity that’s perfect for multi-cat households or extended feeding periods. The programmable timer allows for portion-controlled meals at specific times and the secure locking lid and desiccant bag work together to keep food fresh. Enjoy the dishwasher-safe stainless steel bowls, which makes for easy cleaning.

What makes this Cat Mate dog and cat feeder unique is that it holds both wet and dry food, keeping wet food cold with the help of two ice packs. With its five compartments, it can store up to five preportioned meals, ensuring your pet stays fed throughout the day.

The dispenser for two allows you to serve meals to either two different animals or provide two different types of food. Each of the two dishes acts as its own individual dispenser, so you can adjust the portion sizes for each pet. It’s dishwasher-safe, too, making cleanup easy.

Finally, a pet feeder with a live camera — we know you’ve been waiting for it! This WOpet feeder allows you to monitor your pet through a live video feed with two-way audio, so you can talk to them if they’re not eating. It holds enough dry food to keep your pet fed during long periods of absence, and it even operates on a battery pack in case of a power outage!

Program up to 12 meals with this PetSafe Healthy Pet Feeder. It holds up to 24 cups of food, so you don’t have to constantly refill it, and it can dispense food slowly to prevent your furry friend from eating too quickly. With a locking lid to keep everything secure, this feeder makes being away a little more comfortable.
