About AutoFeederLab

We help pet owners choose automatic feeders and smart feeding gear with clear, no-nonsense reviews and guides. Our focus is what actually matters at home: reliable portions, clean bowls, quiet motors, and apps that don’t flake out.

What we publish

Best-of guides: updated roundups (e.g., Best Automatic Cat Feeders 2025, Best Camera Feeders, Wet-Food Feeders with Ice Packs, Microchip/RFID Feeders).
Head-to-head comparisons: real differences in noise, jam rate, app UX, and bowl hygiene (e.g., Petlibro Granary vs WOPET, PetSafe Simply Feed vs Cat Mate C500).
Step-by-step guides: setup, portion scheduling, cleaning & sanitizing, desiccant use, common error fixes.
Tools & checklists: a portion calculator, feeding schedules by age, travel setups (battery + backup power).

How we evaluate products

We look at practical criteria that affect daily use:

Portion accuracy & consistency (can it hit 10 g, 20 g, etc. repeatedly?)
Jam rate & kibble handling (works with larger or irregular kibble?)
Hopper & bowl hygiene (stainless options, dishwasher-safe parts, moisture control)
Power & backup (battery failover, memory retention after outages)
Noise & night use (sleep-friendly?)
App reliability (alerts, logs, offline behavior, multi-user support)
Build quality & support (warranties, replaceable parts, firmware updates)

When we can’t directly access a unit, we rely on verified owner feedback, manufacturer documentation, and teardown photos/videos. We clearly label any limitations and update pages as products change.

Editorial standards

Independence: We do not sell placements or accept payment for positive coverage.
Evidence-first: Recommendations are based on specs, documentation, and repeatable checks; anecdotes are secondary.
Corrections & updates: If you spot an error, email us—substantive fixes are timestamped in the page changelog.
Review units: If a product is provided by a brand, we disclose it. Loaners do not guarantee inclusion or favorable coverage.
