Petlibro has introduced its Granary 2 series, a next-generation lineup of dry-food feeders designed to bring precision, AI recognition, and deeper insights into what your cats are actually eating. With multiple models tailored to different needs and price points, this series aims to improve how multi-cat households manage feeding, habits, and diets.
Granary 2 Lineup: Models & Core Features
The Granary 2 family spans four models, with prices ranging from $129.99 to $249.99. The entry-level Granary 2 offers precise portion control, app-based scheduling, and tracking of how much food is dispensed. The mid-tier Granary 2 Vision—priced at $189.99—adds an AI camera that can identify up to ten different cats and monitor their individual eating behavior.
The Vision Duo ($199.99) caters specifically to homes with more than one pet, using separate feeding chutes and bowls so each animal receives its own portion. At the top end, the Granary 2 X ($249.99) adds advanced AI-based recognition to deliver custom portioning based on individual dietary requirements.
Smart Tracking, Feeding Modes & Extra Perks
A major upgrade across all Granary 2 models is the built-in scale underneath the food tray. It measures both what’s dispensed and what remains, meaning you can see what your cat actually ate—not just how much food was released by the feeder. Over time, the associated app builds a profile of your pet’s feeding behavior, with metrics like eating frequency, duration, speed, favorite meal times, and changes over days, weeks, or months.
Two feeding modes are available: Scheduled Mode, where you set fixed feeding times and portion sizes; and Smart Refill Mode, which maintains smaller, more frequent servings until a daily limit is reached—ideal for cats who graze rather than eat two big meals. A manual dispensing option is included for spontaneous feeding moments.
For models with the Vision AI camera, you get features tailored to multi-cat households: the camera identifies which cat is approaching the feeder and only opens for the correct pet’s profile—vital for cats with special dietary needs or weight management issues. The camera offers 1080p video, night vision, two-way audio, and the ability to record a personalized message that plays when it’s mealtime.
To keep pet owners informed, the Granary 2 sends notifications for low food, power issues, or when feeding mechanisms jam. A built-in backup battery ensures functionality continues during power outages.
Subscriptions & Market Context
Not all features are included out of the box. Health-tracking tools are tied to a Petlibro Care subscription ($59.99/year), while cloud video storage and playback require a separate Video Cloud plan ($119.99/year). For comparison, one competing feeder undercuts Petlibro on price: a $79.99 model that also uses a scale and portion controls, though it lacks Petlibro’s AI recognition and app ecosystem.
The feeder market has become crowded, with many pet tech companies adding cameras, health metrics, and app-based tracking. Granary 2 stands out by combining accuracy (via its scale), AI recognition, and flexible feeding modes under one product family.
Why this matters: for homes with multiple cats, especially when pets have distinct dietary needs or weight goals, smart feeding tech that accurately tracks intake—down to how much was eaten—can make a real difference. Granary 2 may add upfront cost and recurring fees, but its precision and insights represent a meaningful leap in pet care tools.
What to watch: whether customers find the subscription model worth it and how accurate the AI recognition is over time (especially with similar-looking cats). Also, whether Petlibro continues to build out its app’s predictive insights or adds integrations with vet services as health-tracking becomes more central to pet tech.
