Common questions
Is the PETLIBRO Air right for my dog?
It suits small dogs and small homes well, with tidy app feeding, a wide portion range and battery backup. For medium or large dogs, a bigger hopper such as the Granary or a large-breed feeder is a better fit.
Does it keep working in a power cut?
Yes, it has battery backup so scheduled meals continue if the mains power drops.
Can it use wet food?
No, it is dry food only. For wet food you would need a dedicated wet-food feeder with cooling.
