This does both in one: 5 litres of dry food on one side, 4 litres of water on the other. For a weekend away or a long working day that is the whole problem solved by a single device, and it takes up less floor than the two separates it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe food side is built around not jamming, which is the thing that actually goes wrong with feeders. The dispensing structure is designed for kibble up to 16mm across — which covers the chunky dental biscuits that choke narrower feeders — and the manufacturer publishes a laboratory figure of 99% blockage-free at that size. A 360-degree sealed fresh lock and an included desiccant keep the food at the bottom of the hopper worth eating by the time you reach it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe versions, and what each step actually buys you.\u003c\/strong\u003e All three have the same 5 litre hopper, 4 litre water tank, timed feeding, sealed fresh lock and a human body sensor light. The \u003cstrong\u003eApp Control\u003c\/strong\u003e version adds control from your phone. The \u003cstrong\u003eApp \u0026amp; Camera\u003c\/strong\u003e version adds a camera on top of that, with remote viewing, photos, video recording and two-way video calling. If you only want meals to happen on time, the standard version is the same feeder for twenty pounds less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne thing worth knowing before you choose.\u003c\/strong\u003e It runs from a USB-C adapter or from three alkaline batteries as a backup — but the manufacturer is explicit that \u003cem\u003ewhen running on batteries, the app and video functions are disabled\u003c\/em\u003e.

Fit the backup batteries before you plug it in, so a power cut cannot catch you out. On the app versions, pair it to your wi-fi standing where the feeder will actually live rather than next to the router. Then test it: run a manual feed and weigh what lands in the bowl against what you programmed, and do that for two or three days before you rely on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing it safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry food only — wet food will not dispense and will spoil in the hopper. Keep the lid latched and the unit against a wall where it cannot be tipped. Do not use a feeder as a reason to leave a pet alone longer: feeders jam, pets knock them over, and the app will not clear a blockage for you. For more than a couple of days, someone should still call in. If your pet is on a prescription or weight-management diet, agree portions with your vet. On the camera version, use a strong unique password on the app account — it streams to your phone over the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrip and wash the hopper, chute, water tank and bowls monthly, ideally when both are nearly empty, and dry everything completely before refilling — damp parts are the single biggest cause of jamming. The water side needs attention more often than the food side; a film forms in any tank within a week or two. Replace the desiccant when it stops feeling dry. Empty the hopper fully once a month rather than endlessly topping up, so old kibble does not sit at the bottom. Wipe the camera lens with a dry microfibre cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree tracked UK delivery on every Pawbrio order.
