Petlibro’s Granary 2 smart feeder lineup adds built-in weighing, app-based intake tracking and AI camera features on higher-end models, with some health and video tools requiring subscriptions.


Petlibro’s Granary 2 series is built for dry food and focuses on helping cat owners understand what their pets are actually eating. The lineup uses app-controlled feeding, precise portioning and intake tracking, with higher-end models adding AI-powered camera features. The core pitch is simple: go beyond dispensing food on a schedule and track whether a cat ate, how much it ate and when habits change.
The series includes four models priced from $129.99 to $249.99. The Granary 2 is the entry-level option, while the $189.99 Granary 2 Vision adds an AI-powered camera that can recognize up to 10 cats and track individual eating habits. The $199.99 Vision Duo is aimed at multi-pet homes with two dispensing chutes and bowls, and the $249.99 Granary 2 X uses AI recognition for individualized portioning for pets with specific dietary needs.

The biggest upgrade across the Granary 2 series is a built-in scale that measures food in the tray. That lets the feeder estimate how much food remains and how much a pet actually consumed, rather than only confirming that food was dispensed. The companion app tracks intake, eating duration, feeding frequency, favorite eating times and eating speed, with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views.

Camera-equipped models can identify which pet is eating and associate meals with the correct profile, which is especially useful when cats have different diets or weight-management needs. The 1080p camera includes night vision, two-way audio and the option to play a recorded message from the feeder. The feeder can also send app alerts for low battery, low food and food jams, and it includes a rechargeable backup battery for power outages. Some advanced health tracking and monitoring features require a Petlibro Care subscription starting at $59.99 per year, while cloud recording and playback on camera models require a Video Cloud plan at $119.99 per year.
