Pets are creatures of habit, just like us. A cat who’s used to eating at 8 AM every day expects that — even when you’re not around. And a hungry dog? They make it very clear: whining, sniffing at the empty bowl, pacing the house, and tugging at your pants until you do something about it.

Your pet counts on you — even when you’re away

We’re seeing a social shift that’s hard to ignore. People today know their neighbors less and less. When someone watches your pet, it’s usually parents, grandparents, or other family members — but they can’t come every day.

That’s exactly why we started Prime AnimalZ. A smart solution so your cat or dog always eats on their usual schedule. Whether you have a long workday, a spontaneous night out, or you’re away for a long weekend (how long is actually okay?). Your pet eats on time, you stress less.

Who is an automatic pet feeder for?

An automatic feeder isn’t essential for everyone. But for some pet owners, it’s a genuine game-changer.

  • Busy working people who can’t be home at set mealtimes every day.
  • Overweight cats or dogs. Fixed portions at fixed times prevent overeating.
  • Multi-pet households where each animal needs its own schedule or portion size.
  • People who travel regularly for weekends away or work trips.
  • Early-rising pets that wake their owner at 5:30 AM demanding breakfast.

Regular bowl vs. automatic feeder: what’s the difference?

A regular bowl is passive. You fill it up, your cat or dog eats whenever. An automatic feeder is active. It dispenses food at set times in set amounts. The app notifies you when your pet has eaten.

Free feeding sounds generous, but it leads to obesity in many pets, and you have no way of knowing when or how much they actually ate.

From one model to 26 feeders

We started with a single model: the Standard feeder. Simple, reliable, and suitable for most cats and small dogs.

🏆

Europe’s largest automatic pet feeder specialist.

26 models. Built for the modern cat and dog owner. From quiet 4L feeders for kittens to 15L reservoirs for large dogs.

Why existing feeders fell short

Too loud

A motor that kicks on at 3 AM wakes up both the owner and the pet.

Unreliable portioning

Drum-style feeders jam with larger kibble sizes.

No feedback

You have no idea whether your cat or dog actually ate, when, or how much.

Our solution

  • Auger mechanism: kibble flows through smoothly, even with larger sizes.
  • Motor under 35 dB: whisper-quiet, even during nighttime dispensing
  • HD camera with night vision: instantly notifies you in the app when your pet eats

Automatic cat feeder: what’s different?

🐱

Did you know?

Cats are natural grazers who prefer multiple small meals over one large one. In the wild, they’d catch 10 to 20 small prey animals per day.

  • Set 3 to 4 meals per day. Cats prefer small, frequent meals.
  • Use the HD camera to check that your cat is actually eating.
  • Don’t place the feeder next to the litter box.
  • Got an overweight cat? Read how many grams a cat needs per day.

Automatic dog feeder: what’s different?

🐶

Did you know?

Dogs are creatures of routine. A consistent feeding spot at a consistent time significantly reduces excited behavior around meals.

  • Large dogs need a reservoir of at least 6L.
  • Set 2 meals per day (morning and evening).
  • Receive a notification via the app when your dog has eaten.

The two models to start with

Frequently asked questions

How do I order an automatic pet feeder from Prime AnimalZ?+

Ordering is easy through our feeders collection. We ship within 1–2 business days.

What should I look for when choosing an automatic feeder?+

(1) Reservoir size: how long will you be away? (2) Noise level: look for a motor under 35 dB. (3) Wi-Fi: go for 5 GHz for a stable connection.

Does the feeder work for dogs too?+

Yes, all our feeders work for both cats and dogs. Maximum kibble size is 15 mm. For medium and large dogs we recommend a reservoir of at least 6L.

Does it work with wet food?+

No, the automatic feeder is designed for dry food (kibble) only. Wet food spoils quickly and clogs the auger mechanism.

How many meals can I schedule per day?+

Up to 99 meals per day, each freely adjustable for time and quantity (in increments of 6–7 grams).

What happens during a power outage?+

The feeder has a built-in battery backup (3 AA batteries) that kicks in automatically during a power outage. The camera shuts off to conserve power.
