It’s a gravity-based feeder: as your pet eats, dry kibble falls down from the container into the bowl, and water flows into the water area from the reservoir. There are no electronics or programming – it works purely mechanically.

Use only dry kibble for cats or small dogs. Wet food, semi-moist food or very large pieces can block the opening and stop the food from flowing properly.

With its 3L food capacity (and matching water reservoir), the feeder generally covers several days for one cat or a small dog, depending on how much your pet eats and drinks. In any case, you should still check food and water levels daily.

No. The MPETS feeder is fully mechanical and does not require electricity, Wi-Fi or batteries. As long as there is food in the container and water in the reservoir, it will keep dispensing.

Yes, as long as your cats share food calmly. The feeder provides free-access food: it works great if all pets can eat at their own pace. If one cat tends to overeat or block others, a smart feeder with controlled portions (like the Xiaomi) is usually a better choice.

Empty all remaining food and water, then wash the removable parts with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly before refilling. Avoid abrasive sponges to keep the plastic smooth and easy to clean.

Place it on a flat, stable surface where it can’t be easily kicked or knocked over. Keep it away from direct sun or strong heat sources (which can affect water freshness) and from very dusty or dirty areas. Make sure the container sits straight so gravity can do its job.
