Aqara Pet Feeder C1

The smart feeder for cats and small dogs

Never keep your cat or dog in suspense again: let the Aqara Pet Feeder C1 control the feeding of your pet smartly and automatically.

Busy schedules or unexpected delays mean pets don't always get fed on time. Traditional automatic feeders offer limited features and are sometimes vulnerable to Wi-Fi interference, while manual feeding requires scheduling.

Pet Feeder C1

The Pet Feeder C1's feeding tank has a generous 4-liter capacity. This makes it suitable for both cats and dogs up to 15 kg (33 lbs). With a capacity of approximately 1.7 kg (3.7 lbs) of pet food, the tank offers enough space for approximately one month's worth of food for a 4 kg (9 lbs) cat.

• Food stays fresh and dry thanks to the airtight seal and the standard supplied desiccant.
• Anti-spill lid prevents food from falling out of the tank if the appliance is accidentally tilted.
• Safe and hygienic : All parts that come into contact with the food are made of safe materials. The stainless steel feeder, plastic tank, and rubber dispenser wheel are easy to remove and clean.

The Pet Feeder C1 features a built-in microphone that allows you to record a personalized message. This message plays when the food is dispensed. Please note: this feature only works through the device itself and cannot be controlled via the Aqara app.
