Smart feeders have become one of the most crowded categories in pet tech, with companies racing to add AI cameras and health tracking to devices that used to just dispense food on a schedule.

Building on the brand’s Granary line, the Granary 2 series lineup is designed to give cat parents a clearer picture of what their pets are eating, from how much food they consume to how long they spend eating and whether their habits change over time.

The series includes four models, priced from $129.99 to $249.99. The Granary 2 is the entry-level option, offering app-controlled feeding, precise portioning, and intake tracking.

The $199.99 Vision Duo is aimed at multi-pet households, with two separate dispensing chutes and bowls so each pet can receive its own portion, and the company says that its most expensive model, the Granary 2 X, uses AI recognition to provide individualized portioning for pets with specific dietary needs.

The biggest upgrade across the Granary 2 series is its built-in scale. The feeder can measure food in the tray, allowing it to track not only how much food was dispensed but also how much remains in the bowl. While a traditional automatic feeder can tell you that it released a meal at 7 p.m. it can’t necessarily tell you whether your cat ate it, how much it ate, or how long it took to finish.

The Granary 2 offers two primary feeding modes: Smart Refill Mode and Scheduled Mode.

Certain health tracking and monitoring features need a Petlibro Care subscription, while cloud recording and playback on camera-equipped models need paying for a Video Cloud plan.
