Introduction
Automatic pet feeders can be a lifesaver for busy pet owners. We spent three months testing five top-rated models to find the best options for different needs and budgets.
Best Overall: PetSafe Smart Feed
The PetSafe Smart Feed combines reliability with app connectivity. It dispenses accurate portions, has a slow-feed option, and sends notifications when your pet eats. At $170, it's a worthwhile investment.
Best Budget: Cat Mate C500
At just $35, the Cat Mate C500 offers five-meal scheduling with ice packs to keep wet food fresh. It's simple, reliable, and doesn't require WiFi or an app.
Best for Multiple Pets: SureFeed Microchip Feeder
This clever feeder opens only for the registered pet's microchip, preventing food theft in multi-pet households. It's pricey at $180 but solves a real problem.
