Description
Some homes need more meal flexibility without moving to a larger feeder body. This 3L model is positioned for cats and smaller pets that benefit from a steadier schedule, extra meal slots, and a feeder that is easier to fit in tighter kitchens or pet corners.
SmartPaw selected it because it targets searchers looking for a compact automatic feeder with more than the standard four-meal limit and a simpler anti-clog feeding path.
Product highlights
- 3L hopper suits smaller spaces while still supporting several days of dry-food storage.
- Up to 6 meals per day offers more flexibility for routine-based feeding plans.
- Anti-clog design and dual-power setup help support steadier dispensing.
- A good fit for cats and smaller pets that need more frequent, measured portions.

Pre-flight checklist

Care and setup notes
- Wipe the hopper neck weekly and rinse the bowl on the same cadence.
- Clear the seal or desiccant area if humidity rises to prevent sticking.

“Yes yes yes!!!! Omg yes!! We bought this for my boyfriend’s very round cat. We set specific times for him to eat. We originally got this so we could stay the night with each other (before moving in together) so his cat wouldn’t miss a meal”

“Works great! Good value. So wonderful to not have to worry about feeding. We have it spread out to do 1/8 cup four times a day for our cat and it’s so much better than him gobbling it all down at once”
