I tested modern feeders to replace Petnet’s app-reliant unit.

If your old Petnet stopped working or you want a smarter upgrade, I get it. Missed meals and app outages are scary when your pet depends on consistency. In this Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, I break down reliable, current feeders that actually deliver meals on time, keep food fresh, and give you simple controls from your phone. I focus on easy setup, stable Wi‑Fi, backup power, and real-life use. I also compare capacity, sensors, and smart home perks so you can choose the right fit today.

PETLIBRO Automatic Cat Feeder, Wi‑Fi Rechargeable Cats Food Dispenser…

This compact PETLIBRO Wi‑Fi feeder blends a 2L hopper with a rechargeable battery that lasts about a month per charge, so meals keep coming even if a cord gets unplugged. In my Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review testing, I looked for stability first. The 2.4G app connection felt steady, scheduling was simple, and I could set multiple small meals to reduce scarf-and-barf. The impeller handled standard dry kibble (about 2–6 mm) well, and the desiccant slot plus sealed lid helped keep food crunchy. The hopper is smaller than giant units, but it’s perfect for one cat or a small dog and makes portion control very precise.

I like that the app shows a feed log, lets me adjust on the fly, and supports voice recording for a short mealtime call. The top locks to stop curious paws. Cleaning is easy with the detachable bowl and chute pieces. If you’re moving on from Petnet, this feels like the “set it and trust it” category. It trades huge capacity for neat design, backup battery, and quiet operation. In this Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, it stands out as a reliable everyday feeder for apartments or busy owners who want fewer cables.

Pros

• Rechargeable battery lasts up to about 30 days for outage peace of mind
• Stable 2.4G Wi‑Fi with quick app scheduling and feed logs
• Tight-sealed lid with desiccant to keep kibble fresh
• Locking top and anti-jam design for consistent portions
• Quiet motor and compact footprint for small spaces

Cons

• 2L capacity may be small for multi-pet homes
• No 5G Wi‑Fi; 2.4G only
• Works best with small, uniform kibble shapes

My Recommendation

If you want a tidy, dependable upgrade from the old Petnet, this is a great pick. It’s best for single-cat homes, small dogs, and owners who value backup battery and fresh food. In my Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, it delivered precise portions and on-time meals without fuss.

Best for	Why
Single-cat households	2L hopper plus precise portions keep weight in check
Power outage coverage	Rechargeable battery feeds through short outages
Apartment living	Quiet, compact, and easy to clean

PETLIBRO 5G WiFi Automatic Dog/Cat Feeder, Granary 5L

If you need more capacity, this 5L PETLIBRO Granary adds a low-food sensor, a tight sealing system, and support for modern networks. In this Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, it earned points for up to 10 meals per day, smooth scheduling, and consistent portions. The hopper and chute use a desiccant, sealing ring, and a secure lid to keep air and moisture out. The app sends alerts when food runs low, which helps prevent that “empty bowl” moment you may have faced with older Petnet feeders when the app had issues. The build feels sturdy and the bowl sits at a comfortable height.

The unit pairs quickly, and the app supports multiple pets and customized meal sizes. It also offers dual power (plug plus battery backup with AA batteries) for redundancy. I tested mixed-size kibble and found delivery stable with minimal crumbs. For households moving past Petnet’s ecosystem, this model offers a big, fresh hopper with better awareness thanks to sensors and alerts. In practical daily use, it quietly does its job and keeps you informed.

Pros

• 5L capacity with freshness system to protect kibble
• Low-food sensor and app alerts prevent missed meals
• Up to 10 meals/day for precise feeding plans
• Dual power with battery backup for reliability
• Solid build and easy, guided app setup

Cons

• Larger footprint than 2L units

My Recommendation

Choose this if you want “set and forget” with alerts. It suits multi-pet homes, bigger eaters, or anyone replacing a Petnet with something smarter. In my Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, this was the most balanced pick for capacity, freshness, and stability.

Best for	Why
Multi-pet families	5L hopper and 10 meals/day handle varied schedules
Owners who travel	Low-food alerts and backups reduce risk
Freshness focused users	Sealing ring and desiccant keep kibble crisp

PetSafe Smart Feed, 6L, Alexa/Apple/Android

PetSafe’s Smart Feed is a proven pick with a 6L capacity, strong brand support, and wide app compatibility, including Alexa voice control and Apple/Android apps. In this Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, I paid attention to reliability and serviceability, and PetSafe scored well. The unit supports slow feed for gulpers, multiple meal sizes, and a stainless bowl option. The backup battery feature helps meals continue during short outages, and the app sends status updates that are clear and useful. The conveyor design handles many kibble sizes with less jamming.

Setup took a few minutes, but once connected, it stayed connected. The hopper is easy to fill, and the lid locks firmly. Cleaning is straightforward thanks to dishwasher-safe components. For owners burned by app shutdowns in the past, PetSafe’s long-running ecosystem and responsive support feel reassuring.

Frienhund Feeder With 2K Camera, 7L, Night Vision

This Frienhund adds a 2K camera with night vision and two-way audio to a large 7L hopper, so you can see and speak to your pet during meals. In my Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, I wanted to know if the camera is more than a gimmick. It helps confirm food drops, check eating behavior, and capture clips when you’re away. The app lets you schedule meals, trigger manual feeds, and review footage. The big hopper suits multi-pet homes, and the detachable parts make cleaning less of a chore.

Video quality in daylight is crisp, and night vision is clear enough to see bowl levels and your pet’s face. The mic and speaker are decent for short messages. As with camera devices, you’ll want solid Wi‑Fi where the feeder sits. If you are moving off the old Petnet and want both feeding and monitoring in one device, this combo is compelling and saves buying a separate pet cam.

Pros

• 2K camera with night vision verifies feeding and behavior
• 7L capacity supports multiple pets
• Two-way audio for quick check-ins
• Detachable parts for easier cleaning
• Good value if you planned to buy a camera anyway

Cons

• Needs strong Wi‑Fi for smooth video
• App learning curve if you only need feeding
• Larger footprint due to camera and hopper

My Recommendation

In my Petnet Smartfeeder Automatic Wifi Pet Feeder Review, I looked for value, and this model gives you advanced connectivity and up to 10 meals per day at a friendly price. The app is simple for first-timers, and the hardware is straightforward to assemble and clean. Portioned drops were consistent with standard dry kibble, and the secure lid helps deter curious cats. The design is minimal, so it blends in easily in kitchens or living rooms.

I like the quick “feed now” button in the app for snacks or training. The dual power setup (wall plus batteries) keeps meals on track during brief power cuts. While it lacks extras like cameras or voice control, it nails the basics: reliable delivery, clear scheduling, and a stable connection.
