"Once upon a time, there was a tiny skinny old lady cat, who needed to eat 100x a day and have expensive vet food.

"So it doesn’t come with the PetHub thing and that’s needed to use the app. Sure, maybe I didn’t read and looked at just the pictures, but it’s still deceptive. You’re better off purchasing the cheaper one as it’s the same thing."

Bottom Line

If you need a feeder for pets on special diets, this is a solid choice. However, be prepared for frequent battery replacements and potential design inconveniences.
