An automatic cat feeder is an electric device that automatically dispenses the right amount of food at programmed times. You programme once when and how much the cat should eat — the feeder does the rest.

How does an automatic feeder work?

An automatic feeder consists of a dry food reservoir, a programmable timer and a dispensing mechanism. You set via the app or control panel how many grams should be dispensed at what time. When the set time arrives, the mechanism opens and dispenses exactly the programmed amount.

What are the benefits of an automatic feeder?

• Consistent meals at fixed times — even when you’re not home
• Precise portioning: no over- or under-feeding
• Less stress for the cat through fixed mealtimes
• HD camera enables remote monitoring
• Battery backup in case of power failure

Which models are available?

The Prime AnimalZ feeder comes in three variants: Standard 6L (single cat), Premium 7L (with removable mechanism) and Compact 4L (for kittens). All models have an HD camera and app control.

Is an automatic feeder worth it?

If you have irregular working hours, travel frequently or simply want to ensure your cat is always fed on time — yes, it’s worth it. Particularly for cats that are overweight or tend to eat too quickly, an automatic feeder is a valuable investment.
