Petlibro's New AI-Powered Feeder Is a Game Changer for Multi-Cat Homes
Smart feeders have become one of the most crowded categories in pet tech. In 2026, companies are racing to add AI cameras and health tracking to devices that once simply dispensed food on a schedule. Having enjoyed testing Petlibro's wet food dispenser a couple of years ago, I wanted to try something from the company's newest automatic feeder lineup: the Granary 2 series, designed specifically for dry food.
I was not disappointed. Building on the brand's Granary line, the Granary 2 series is designed to give cat parents a clearer picture of what their pets are actually eating β from how much food they consume to how long they spend eating and whether their habits change over time.
Four Models, One Clear Focus
The series includes four models, priced from $129.99 to $249.99:
- Granary 2 ($129.99) β the entry-level option, offering app-controlled feeding, precise portioning, and intake tracking.
- Granary 2 Vision ($189.99) β the model I tested, which adds an AI-powered camera capable of recognizing up to 10 cats and tracking each pet's individual eating habits.
- Vision Duo ($199.99) β aimed at multi-pet households, with two separate dispensing chutes and bowls so each pet can receive its own portion.
- Granary 2 X ($249.99) β the company's most expensive model, which uses AI recognition to provide individualized portioning for pets with specific dietary needs.

The Built-In Scale Changes Everything
The biggest upgrade across the Granary 2 series is its built-in scale. The feeder can measure food in the tray, allowing it to track not only how much food was dispensed but also how much remains in the bowl. That gives it a better way to estimate how much your pet actually ate.
While a traditional automatic feeder can tell you that it released a meal at 7 p.m., it can't necessarily tell you whether your cat ate it, how much it ate, or how long it took to finish. The Granary 2 tracks intake, eating duration, feeding frequency, favorite eating times, and eating speed.
Over time, the companion app builds a picture of your pet's normal eating patterns, with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views. This could make it easier to notice subtle changes in appetite or routine that might otherwise go unnoticed. For pet parents who closely monitor weight, portion sizes, or eating behavior, this could be the feature that makes the difference.
