Meals delivered on time and in the right amount transform pet wellness. Smart nutrition schedules reduce stress, maintain weight, and prevent overeating—especially for indoor cats. If reliability, portion control, and remote flexibility matter, a connected dispenser is the simplest upgrade you can make.
For pet parents seeking stress-free scheduling and app-powered control, the WOPET automatic pet feeder aligns daily routines with a cat’s natural rhythm while keeping portions consistent—even when you’re away.
Why Predictable Feeding Matters
Consistent portions prevent under- and over-feeding.
Automated schedules reduce mealtime anxiety and early-morning wake-ups.
Timed meals support medication routines and special diets.
Remote control lets you adapt feeding during late nights or travel.
Core Features to Look For
Precision and Reliability
Look for a motor that resists jams, a hopper that seals against moisture, and a scale-like dispensing system for accurate portions.
Power Redundancy
Dual power (plug plus battery backup) ensures meals stay on schedule during outages.
Scheduling and Control
Multiple daily meals, portion granularity, and app control enable tailored feeding for kittens, adults, and seniors.
Hygiene and Food Safety
Food-contact components should be easy to detach and wash. Desiccant support helps keep kibble fresh.
Setup in 5 Quick Steps
Rinse removable parts and dry fully.
Place the unit on a flat surface away from high-traffic zones.
Load kibble within the recommended size range.
Connect to power and pair with the companion app.
Program meals (time, portion, frequency) and run a test dispense.
Hydration Completes the Routine
Cats thrive with fresh, moving water. Pair scheduled meals with a circulating fountain to encourage regular drinking and support urinary health—consider a companion like the WOPET water fountain for a full wellness setup.

FAQs
How many meals per day are ideal?
Most adult cats do well with 2–4 small meals. Kittens may need 3–5. Use scheduling to match your vet’s guidance.
Can it handle different kibble sizes?
Check the recommended pellet size. Oversized or irregular kibble may reduce accuracy or cause clogs.
What if the power goes out?
Battery backup maintains schedules. Confirm batteries are fresh and seated properly.
Will it help with weight loss?
Precise portions and consistent timing support weight plans. Pair with your vet’s calorie target and monitor weekly.
How do I keep cats from stealing each other’s food?
Feed in separate zones, stagger times, or use microchip-access bowls for strict individual control.
