What happened
Petlibro launched the Granary 2 feeder series, four models priced from $129.99 to $249.99, led by the $189.99 Granary 2 Vision with an AI camera recognizing up to 10 cats and a built-in scale.
Why it matters
The scale plus AI camera means owners of multiple cats can finally attribute each meal to the right pet, useful when one cat is on a special diet or managing weight.
What to watch
The advanced health tracking and cloud recording aren't included, tied to a Petlibro Care subscription from $59.99 per year or a Video Cloud plan at $119.99 per year; Pawsync's $79.99 feeder is the budget alternative tested.
WHO IT HITSMulti-cat owners and pet parents monitoring a specific cat's diet or weight are the main audience, since individual feeding profiles depend on the AI camera and often a paid subscription.

Smart feeders have become one of the most crowded categories in pet tech, with companies racing to add AI cameras and health tracking to devices that used to just dispense food on a schedule. Petlibro's Granary 2 builds on the brand's existing Granary line, and the biggest upgrade across the series is a built-in scale that measures both the food dispensed and what remains in the bowl — a meaningful step beyond traditional feeders that can only confirm a meal was released, not whether it was eaten.
The tested Granary 2 Vision layers on a 1080p AI camera with night vision, two-way audio and recorded mealtime messages, and it only opens for a recognized pet, which is aimed squarely at multi-pet homes where one cat may be on a special diet. The feeder also offers Smart Refill and Scheduled modes, jam and low-food alerts, and a rechargeable backup battery for outages.
The catch is ongoing cost: certain health tracking features sit behind a Petlibro Care subscription, and camera cloud recording needs a separate plan, so the real value for a buyer likely hinges on whether those subscription features justify the extra spend. For budget-focused owners, the reviewer points to Pawsync's $79.99 feeder as the closest lower-cost option.
