Petlibro's Granary 2 feeders add scale and AI camera for cats

Petlibro has launched the Granary 2 series of dry food automatic feeders, priced from $129.99 to $249.99, with a built-in scale and, on some models, an AI camera that can recognise up to 10 cats. Some advanced health tracking and cloud recording features require separate subscriptions.

  • The Granary 2 series includes four models priced from $129.99 to $249.99, with the $189.99 Granary 2 Vision adding an AI camera that can recognise up to 10 cats.
  • A built-in scale measures food in the tray, allowing the feeder to estimate how much a pet actually ate rather than only how much was dispensed.
  • Some health tracking features require a Petlibro Care subscription starting at $59.99 per year, and cloud recording requires a Video Cloud plan at $119.99 per year.

Petlibro has released the Granary 2 series of automatic dry food feeders for cats, with prices ranging from $129.99 to $249.99. The lineup is designed to give owners a clearer picture of how much their pets eat, how long they spend eating and whether their habits change over time.

The biggest upgrade across the series is a built-in scale that measures food in the tray. According to the source, this allows the feeder to track not only how much food was dispensed but also how much remains in the bowl, giving a better estimate of how much a pet actually ate. The Granary 2 tracks intake, eating duration, feeding frequency, favourite eating times and eating speed, with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views in the companion app.

The $189.99 Granary 2 Vision adds an AI-powered camera capable of recognising up to 10 cats and tracking each pet's individual eating habits. The camera will only open the feeder when the correct pet is recognised, which the source says is useful in multi-pet households where one cat may be on a special diet or needs to manage its weight. The 1080p camera includes night vision, two-way audio and the option to record a short message that plays from the feeder.

The $199.99 Vision Duo has two separate dispensing chutes and bowls so each pet can receive its own portion. Petlibro says its most expensive model, the Granary 2 X at $249.99, uses AI recognition to provide individualised portioning for pets with specific dietary needs.

The feeders offer Smart Refill Mode, which keeps the bowl supplied with smaller portions while stopping once a daily food limit is reached, and Scheduled Mode for set feeding times and portion sizes. There is also a manual feeding button. The feeder can send app alerts for low battery, low food levels and food jams, and has a built-in rechargeable backup battery for power outages.

Some of the more advanced features are tied to subscriptions. Certain health tracking and monitoring features require a Petlibro Care subscription starting at $59.99 per year, while cloud recording and playback on camera-equipped models require a Video Cloud plan at $119.99 per year.

Why this matters: The Granary 2 series reflects a move in pet tech towards tracking individual eating behaviour rather than simply dispensing food on a schedule, though some monitoring features carry ongoing subscription costs.

What this means for you: Owners considering the Granary 2 should budget for optional subscriptions if they want advanced health tracking or cloud recording, on top of the one-off purchase price.
