In this video, Dr. Justine Lee, DVM, DACVECC, DABT, resident veterinarian for Litter Robot, reviews the Feeder Robot. If you're looking for an automatic pet feeder for your dog or cat, get a veterinary review on this pet feeder.
What I love about the Feeder-Robot is that it's easy to set up, that you can monitor it from your smart phone, and that your pet never misses a feeding. It's a pet feeder that you can rely on, as it will still feed even if online. It'll also help minimize that annoying 5AM begging from your cat, as you can program it to release food on your schedule. Most cats are 200 kcal (calories) per day, and the typical amount is approximately 1/4 cup of food twice a day. This will depend on the type of food you are feeding, but it's an easy way to make sure your cat isn't overeating or become obese!

The portion that was dispensed in your review looks like a lot more than 1/4 cup. Are the portions you set the feeder to actually accurate? My cat needs to lose weight and my vet wants me to feed an accurate amount per day. Also, the cat eats dental kibble which are quite large. Will they get stuck in this feeder? Thanks!

Actually the newer version goes down specifically to 1/8 of a cup. You have to get a special setting and cup on it to work, but I use this on my own cat and did measure to compare. It really depends on the size of the kibble, so you do have to make sure the kibble diameter is < than a certain size to be accurate as per the recommended directions.

Hello! What litter and litter box would you recommend?

@drjustinelee 3 жыл бұрын

I've tried several different types of litter, and still prefer the Litter Robot's litter. Otherwise, a dust-free, traditional clumping. I don't recommend a non-clay one, as the clumps aren't as strong and it accumulates a lot of moisture in the pan. If you are tech savvy, I recommend the Litter-Robot 3 Connect so you can check how often your cat is using it via the app. If you're not tech savvy and not going to use the app, you can use the regular LR3. :) Hope that helps!

Our biggest requirement is having the ability to do a manual feed when we are not home or rather not connected to the wifi. Based on the specs it seems like that's possible. Can anyone confirm this? So far I've been unable to get a hold of their customer support after a few emails.

Yes, I believe so, but I will confirm for you! Stay tuned!

Hi Kevin! Without a product being connected to WiFi, you can't remotely perform any functions on any household item. BUT, you can remotely feed your pets if connected to wifi. Or if they’re home, they can press the manual feed button or do it by app. Without wifi, all functions continue to work based on the last setting it received.

Could be feline heartworm, asthma, a nasopharyngeal polyp or even heart disease - definitely worth going to a vet to get diagnostic tests done!
