As pet parenting prevails in this technological era, pet parents’ wishes for greater well-being are achieved through smart pet solutions. Among those solutions, the smart camera feeder helps enhance pets’ meals by revolutionizing pets’ feeding with brilliant smart features. Now, we will lead you to witness how the camera feeder wisely addresses our feeding dilemmas and makes pet parenting more convenient and delightful than ever before.
Automatic feeding: reassured and consistent feeding time
Automatic feeding is the most basic but important feature of the pet camera feeder. The feeder can discharge food at your pet at a scheduled time with a set portion, freeing owners’ hands and giving pets guaranteed meals.
Why automatic timed feeding?
Pet feeding is not only a must for pets, it is also a daily task for pet owners to feed their pets. However, the feeding time is always affected by owners’ varied schedules. Especially for those who are busy, forgetful, or home-leaving for a period of time, it’s difficult to feed their pets in time, causing pets to be under-eating in one meal and overeating in the next, or feeling anxious for mealtime.
Some owners control pets’ daily food amount while some owners refill the bowl as long as it looks low. Such a method that we see as free feeding is convenient for the above busy pet parents. It is also acceptable for some pets who are not food-positive but may be unpractical for those pets who don’t try to restrict themselves and love to eat fast. Free deeding is easy to cause overeating and abdominal distension.
How does timed feeding enhance pets’ meals?
Luckily, the pet camera feeder can dispense food automatically at the set time, solving this feeding dilemma perfectly. Pet owners set feeding times and portions in advance through the app or the button on the feeder with small effort, then pets will have a reassured feeding schedule.
On the other hand, the feeding time is adjustable through the button or the app, making it accessible to meet multi-layer feeding needs and allowing to interfere pet’s diet in different stages. For instance, a little kitten needs to eat frequently about 3-5 meals a day to avoid overeating, and a senior cat with weak digestion can eat small quantities of food more than 10 times. Then, you can set a personalized feeding plan for your feline kids and change it at any time.
“I always overworked at the office and backed home late. I was guilty as my cat Luna had to wait for me and begged for the next meal. Finally, for both our welfare, I bought a cat camera feeder which solved our feeding dilemma. I set two feeding times at 9 a.m. and p.m., and I only need to refill food and clean the feeder regularly. I can feel Luna is pleased with her new feeder as she can eat food on time and regularly. The timed feeding is really a fantastic solver!”

Adjustable food portion: precise and meticulous meals
Another point that the timed feeder helps with is the feeding portion, which allows owners to control the amount of each meal for the pets.
Why need an appropriate food portion?
The appropriate feeding portion is considered for the potential downside of the scheduled feeding that owners may feed pets in incorrect amounts. Less amounts of food may cause under-eating and food-begging, while over-feeding may cause overeating and obesity. Among them, overeating is a normal issue. Especially for those small cats and dogs, overeating in any meal may cause health issues, such as stomach discomfort and obesity. Moreover, if owners feed less than the daily requirement, pets may guard food and beg for more all the time. Those feeding dilemmas are easily preventable and the smart camera feeder is a good helper to make a healthy feeding plan.
“I used to think it was a great idea to leave food out all day for my kitty, Mercy. It seemed convenient for both of us. But I soon found I was silly. Mercy would gobble up her food in no time and beg me for more, causing a tendency of obesity now. Then, I started to establish a feeding schedule and routine to manage her eating habits with the pet camera feeder. I divide his daily food allowance into 3 meals at 3 fixed hours. Besides, I also take treats from her total daily allowance, so he won’t be getting fed excess calories. I have also observed through the camera. When Mercy tends to be anxious about food emptiness, I would comfort him through the microphone and discharge some as a treat. Proof by facts, it makes effect!”

How do portion-adjustable feeders help pets with mealtime?
The dispensing portion of each meal can be accurate to g. For example, Beardpet’s 5L camera cat feeder discharges 10g for each portion and owners can choose 1-10 portions for each meal. The precise adjustable feeding portions make pet feeding more meticulous.
Each cat is an individual with unique feeding needs and habits. The number of meals and the amount vary based on their age, breed, neutered or intact, and daily activity. How much a kitten should be fed is always changing along with the cat’s growth. You can clear out your cat’s possible daily amounts by basic factors and then average the portion in meals. With it, you can previously prevent possible obesity and other health issues. The next figure that presents average serving calories mainly based on the cat’s weight and other three factors may give you some hints.
| Cat weight(pounds) | Neutered adult(cal) | Intact adult(cal) | Obese (cal) |
| 4 | 132 | 154 | 110 |
| 8 | 221 | 258 | 184 |
| 10 | 262 | 305 | 218 |
| 12 | 300 | 350 | 250 |
| 15 | 354 | 413 | 295 |
| Dog weight(pounds) | Neutered adult(cal) | Intact adult(cal) | Obese (cal) |
| 5 | 208 | 234 | 182 |
| 10 | 349 | 392 | 305 |
| 15 | 472 | 531 | 413 |
| 20 | 586 | 659 | 512 |
| 30 | 795 | 895 | 696 |
| 50 | 1166 | 1312 | 1021 |
| 70 | 1501 | 1688 | 1313 |
Here, we provide you with the calculated calorie needs of cats and dogs in different statuses. Owners can convert calories into portion sizes according to pet food calories per cup or can. For example, if you have a 12kg intact cat and your cat food is 350 calories per cup(100g). Then, you need to feed the cat a cup of food every day, and you can divide it into three times of 1/3 cup(33g) or two times of 1/2 cup(50g). If needed, the feeding portion and time can be divided to be more precise.
App control and live camera: feeding and monitoring whenever and wherever
If the feeder is equipped with a camera, you can achieve online operation, including the above-mentioned feeding time and portion. As long as connecting the automatic cat feeder to Wi-Fi, you can make a feeding plan through the mobile phone APP and remotely control and feed your pet. The operation is simple, and the feeding plan can be manually set on the feeder without the network.
Why app-controlled live cameras?
The benefits of the app-controlled feeder lie in its remote control. It makes it possible to feed pets wherever and wherever so that owners can set feed times and portions according to actual needs at any time. The feeder will also send real-time notifications from the feeder about your pet’s feeding status.
with the live camera, the eye of pet owners, owners can get pets’ feeding situations on their smartphones. How much pets are eating or not eating, the camera will give an answer, so as to ensure pets are well cared for and reset the feeding schedule in line with the actual needs of your pet.
How do real-time cameras benefit pets’ meals?
The charm of a real-timed camera lies in owners can get pet’s feeding status at once. For example, pets can get comfort through the two-way audio which achieves direct interaction between pets and owners. Especially for pets who have to stay alone for a long period, the camera is a blessing to ensure they are well cared for.
“I remember once I traveled for a short holiday, my cat Lucy was sitting in front of the feeder and watching for the next meal(maybe) when I checked the camera. Intent face and hungry eyes, I couldn’t help calling her name and discharged some food as a treat. She was so excited to “mew, mew, mew”….”

More importantly, you can discover pets’ abnormalities in time through the camera when the pet is used to regular meals. If they behave uninterested in their set meals as before, it may denote illnesses like foreign body ingestion, or dental issues. When the feeding amounts are restricted, the pet’s feeding behaviors may also change, desiring to hunt or steal food. The camera can help you catch your cats in the bad act and you can also dispense some food as a treat to comfort their anxiety.
The double bowl feeder: avoiding food competition
For multi-pet families, food competition may be a problem. Every pet has unique feeding habits, and it is tricky to manage different pet’s meals when leaving home. The cat with a good appetite may eat other cats’ food, causing overfeeding and underfeeding. The cat can’t eat food in time as the bowl is too small, causing competition between pets.
“I changed our previous bowl to Beardpet’s double bowl feeder because I adopted a new cat Rawn. The previous bowl is not big enough to conclude two cats. The double bowl divides food into two and allows Rawn to eat on its own bowl, avoiding Peggy eating food first and leaving less for him. Moreover, the camera is helpful for me to make sure two cats are well fed.”
——Mia
The double bowl feeder is a good solution for pets’ harmony by dividing food by average and placing enough space for two cats. Of course, there are also technological innovations that help resolve those difficulties. For example, the smart feeder with RFID. Now, many pet enterprises like Beardpet are striving to make new developments in this technology. Only the cat with the sensor can eat food in the feeder so that owners can customize feeding plans for every pet, fulfilling various dietary needs. Those designs ensure every cat gets the best and appropriate care and avoid food competition between cats.
