Petlibro has updated its Granary line with the Granary 2 series of dry-food feeders, adding a built-in scale and, on certain models, an AI-powered camera to track individual pets' eating habits. The lineup includes four models priced between $129.99 and $249.99; some advanced monitoring features require subscriptions.
Models and pricing
- Granary 2 — the entry-level model with app control, precise portioning, and intake tracking: $129.99.
- Granary 2 Vision — the reviewed model, which includes an AI camera capable of recognizing up to 10 cats and tracking individual eating data: $189.99.
- Vision Duo — intended for multi-pet households with two dispensing chutes and bowls: $199.99.
- Granary 2 X — the top-tier model that applies AI recognition for individualized portioning for pets with specific dietary needs: $249.99. The article notes that all models were discounted on Amazon as part of Prime Deal Days, with the sale ending October 7.
Built-in scale: why it matters
The most significant upgrade in the Granary 2 series is the integrated scale under the bowl. This allows the feeder not only to record how much food it dispensed but also how much remains, producing a more accurate estimate of the amount the pet actually ate. That addresses a common shortcoming of traditional automatic feeders, which can only report when a meal was released.
What the system tracks
Granary 2 records and displays in its companion app:
- intake amount
- eating duration
- feeding frequency
- preferred feeding times and eating speed The app builds daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views of a pet’s normal patterns, which can help owners notice subtle appetite or routine changes.
Feeding modes
The feeder offers two primary modes:
- Smart Refill Mode: keeps the bowl supplied with smaller, fresher portions throughout the day and stops automatically once a preset daily limit is reached — useful for cats that graze.
- Scheduled Mode: traditional scheduled feedings with defined portion sizes. A manual feed button is also available.
AI camera and additional features (Vision models)
The Vision model adds a 1080p AI camera that can identify which pet is eating and associate the meal with the correct profile — useful in households with multiple cats or when one animal is on a special diet. The camera supports night vision and two-way audio, and you can record a short message that plays from the feeder. The unit will only open for the correctly recognized pet.
Alerts and backup power
The app sends instant alerts for issues such as low battery, low food levels, and food jams. The feeder includes a built-in rechargeable backup battery to keep it running during power outages.
Subscriptions and extra costs
Some of the more advanced health-tracking features require a Petlibro Care subscription (starting at $59.99 per year). Cloud recording and playback for camera-equipped models require a Video Cloud plan, listed at $119.99 per year.
Verdict and comparison
The reviewer considers the Granary 2 among the best feeders tested, mainly due to the scale and AI identification that help track individual consumption. For buyers on a tighter budget, the Pawsync feeder — priced at $79.99 — is mentioned as a closer, cheaper alternative that also uses a built-in scale for accurate portions.
