Our pet feeders picks at a glance
The successor to Petlibro's best-selling Granary, announced June 2026 and shipping since late July, adds a 1-gram scale that logs how much was dispensed and how much was left, plus a refill mode capped by a daily calorie limit, which is why Features leads at 92. It is dry food only, uses the same auger as gen 1 (cubed kibble over 9 mm can jam), and has little long-term reliability data yet. At $129.99 with no subscription, Warranty is the softest at 66 on 24-month coverage.
