Head-to-head: the feeders compared
Four automatic feeders worth your money, ranked. The quick list first, then the specs side by side, then the full breakdown of the three smart models.
Short answer
The Petlibro Granary Smart Camera Feeder ($129.99) is the best all-rounder here: scheduled portions, a camera to confirm your dog actually ate, and battery backup. The budget pick is the Petlibro Granary Basic at $69.99 — the same feeder minus camera and app. The deciding factor is whether you need to see mealtimes; capacity (3–6L) and portion size settle the rest.

Frequently asked questions
Can these automatic feeders handle wet food?
No — the feeders compared here are built for dry kibble. The Petlibro Granary Smart Camera Feeder, for example, is listed as kibble only, with no wet food.
Will an automatic feeder keep working during a power outage?
Yes. All four feeders on this page have battery backup: the Petlibro Granary Camera runs on 3 × D batteries, the WOPET 6L uses D cells, and the PETKIT YumShare Dual-Hopper and the Granary Basic also list battery backup, so scheduled meals continue through outages.
Which automatic feeder is best for two pets or two different foods?
The PETKIT YumShare Dual-Hopper ($149.99). Its two hoppers can hold two different foods, and its 1080p camera has AI pet recognition, so it can tell which pet actually ate and keep per-pet feeding plans and logs.
Which feeder holds the most food?
The WOPET WiFi Feeder with Camera (6L) at $149.99 — its 6L hopper is the largest here, ahead of the 5L Petlibro Granary Camera and the 5L PETKIT YumShare, and well ahead of the 3L Granary Basic. Note that its portions top out at 20 per meal, which can be limiting for giant breeds.
Do I really need a feeder with a camera?
Not necessarily. The Petlibro Granary Basic (3L) costs $69.99 — about half the price of the camera models — and gives you a timer, portion control and the same freshness sealing, but no camera and no app. It is the right call if your dog eats in the same room you live in; pick a camera model if you want to see and hear mealtimes, talk to your dog, or adjust portions from your phone.
