People Editorial Guidelines Published on September 14, 2024 07:00AM EDT Photo: People / Cai Cramer Amazon has a gadget on sale right now that’s helped ease my mind about leaving my cat at home, whether just for the day or during a weekend vacation. I’ve tested countless pet products on my own cat, but nothing has changed my routine quite like the Petlibro Automatic Cat Feeder. The device is only slightly larger than a half-gallon carton of milk and holds a whole week’s worth of dry food, which it dispenses out at custom meal-time intervals. Petlibro Automatic Cat Feeder, $46 with coupon Amazon $90 $46 at Amazon This automatic pet feeder is easy to get started with — the box includes a booklet that gives step-by-step instructions — and I quickly set up the clock and programmed the device to dispense food at any times I desired. The device allows you to customize the size of the food portion it dispenses, so I can set it to deliver larger portions at the beginning and end of the day and a smaller portion as an afternoon snack. Meanwhile, the twist-locking lid, sealing strip, and included desiccant pack keep the kibble inside fresh. I’m a Cat Mom, and Yes, the Litter-Robot Is Worth the Hype — Plus, It's on Sale Today If your cat (like mine) tends to wake you up early and begs for breakfast, the Petlibro can give you back some precious sleep time. It also offers the option to record an audio greeting for your pet that plays before each feeding, which can help calm anxious pets. The backup battery is another thoughtful feature, letting you rest assured that the device will still feed your pet, even if the power goes out. While the Petlibro feeder is great for cats, it also works well for small- to medium-sized dogs, according to Amazon reviewers. “This feeder has been a lifesaver for us,” one reviewer wrote. “Our dog has digestive issues and needs consistent feeding.” The 7 Best Dog Food Storage Containers of 2024, Tested by Real Pet Parents Another pleased reviewer noted that “the programming is pretty straightforward, and the directions are well-written.” They added, “Even without a battery backup, it remembered my settings, which was great.” A third buyer shared that the device “calmed my cat’s food anxiety” and prevented them from overeating. I’ve been using this automatic cat feeder for six months, and, while I’m happy I didn’t wait to purchase it, I’m jealous of shoppers who can snag one at just $46 right now.
