TechPetly Research Note: TechPetly has not independently hands-on tested the PETLIBRO Granary 2 Series. This guide is based on PETLIBRO’s official specifications, documentation, product pages, and currently available retailer information. Features that depend on AI recognition, weighing accuracy, or software services should be evaluated with this limitation in mind.
Automatic pet feeders used to answer one basic question: Did the machine dispense the meal on time?
PETLIBRO’s new Granary 2 lineup is trying to answer a more useful question: How much did your pet actually eat?
Launched in June 2026, the Granary 2 Series consists of four models ranging from a relatively straightforward smart feeder with a built-in scale to an AI-powered selective feeder designed to recognize an individual cat without a collar or microchip.
The biggest upgrade is not simply another camera or another app feature. Across the lineup, PETLIBRO is putting greater emphasis on measured food intake, eating patterns, Smart Refill Mode, and—in the more expensive models—AI pet recognition.
But the four versions solve quite different problems, and buying the most expensive one does not necessarily make sense.

*Prices can change because PETLIBRO is currently running launch promotions.
What Is Actually New in Granary 2?
The most meaningful upgrade is bowl-level weighing.
PETLIBRO says the feeder tracks both food dispensed and food remaining, allowing the system to estimate how much was actually eaten rather than simply recording that a feeding event occurred. The company describes the weighing system as offering gram-level food tracking.
That distinction matters.
A conventional automatic feeder might report that it dispensed 50 grams at 7:00 a.m. It cannot necessarily tell you whether your cat ate all 50 grams, ate 15 grams, or walked away entirely.
Granary 2 is designed to make that difference visible.
PETLIBRO has also introduced Smart Refill Mode. Instead of relying only on fixed feeding times, the feeder can monitor how much food remains in the bowl and add more when it falls below a chosen threshold, while respecting a configured daily limit. Scheduled Feeding remains available for owners who prefer fixed meals.
That could make Granary 2 particularly interesting for cats that naturally graze throughout the day.
PETLIBRO Granary 2: Best for Precise Feeding Without Paying for a Camera
The standard Granary 2 is probably the most sensible model for many households.
It skips the camera and AI recognition but retains what may be the most practically useful Granary 2 upgrade: the built-in scale.
The feeder supports scheduled feeding and Smart Refill Mode, can be controlled remotely through the PETLIBRO app, provides low-food and blockage alerts, and uses a built-in rechargeable backup battery. PETLIBRO lists up to 24 hours of backup power for the standard Granary 2.
The base model also uses a 5-liter hopper, supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, and is designed for cats and small dogs. PETLIBRO specifies dry kibble between approximately 2 and 18 mm.
For someone who wants to know how much food is actually disappearing from the bowl but does not need video footage, this is arguably the sweet spot of the series.

The Amazon page was checked on August 11, 2026 and matches the Granary 2 smart-scale model rather than an older Granary feeder.
PETLIBRO Granary 2 Vision: Best if You Want to See Who Is Eating
Granary 2 Vision adds a 1080p camera with night vision and AI-based pet recognition to the weighing system.
PETLIBRO says the camera can recognize individual cats and associate feeding activity with the appropriate pet profile. The company’s launch announcement states that Vision can recognize up to 10 cats.
That creates an important difference from simply putting a security camera beside a feeder.
The goal is not only to see a cat eating, but to combine the visual identity of that cat with the meal record and measured intake.
For a two- or three-cat household where you frequently wonder, “Which one actually ate that food?”, Vision is potentially much more useful than the standard model.
The limitation is that AI recognition is one of the features we would want to see tested over a longer period. TechPetly has not independently verified recognition accuracy, especially with cats that have similar appearances, changing lighting conditions, or pets eating close together.

PETLIBRO Granary 2 Vision Duo: The Most Interesting Choice for Multi-Cat Homes
Vision Duo takes the Vision concept and adds two feeding bowls.
More importantly, PETLIBRO says it uses dual built-in scales and a dual-channel dispensing system. The company states that food distribution between the two sides is designed to stay within a variance of less than 5%.
The Vision Duo combines this dual-bowl system with AI pet recognition and individualized eating records. PETLIBRO specifically positions it for multi-pet households.
That makes it considerably more interesting than a traditional dual-bowl feeder, where two bowls may simply receive food without the system understanding which cat consumed it.
There is an important distinction, however:
Vision Duo tracks and identifies pets; it does not physically stop one cat from walking over and eating the other cat’s food.
If food stealing is the problem you actually need to solve, Granary 2 X is the more relevant model.

PETLIBRO Granary 2 X: Built to Stop the Wrong Cat From Eating
Granary 2 X is the most specialized—and most expensive—member of the family.
Instead of relying on an RFID collar tag or implanted microchip, PETLIBRO says the feeder performs AI pet recognition directly on the device.
When the designated cat approaches, a motorized lid provides access to the food. When another pet approaches, the feeder is designed to keep the feeding area closed. Side panels further restrict access.
That makes the X particularly interesting when one cat needs calorie control, one animal steals another animal’s meals, or pets eat different diets.
PETLIBRO also says recognition and automatic lid operation can continue locally when the feeder loses its internet connection.
This is clever technology, but it is also where we would be the most cautious.
If a feeder is being used simply to record eating habits, an occasional recognition error is inconvenient. If it is being used to control which animal receives a specific diet, recognition reliability matters considerably more.
Until TechPetly can evaluate the hardware directly or sufficient long-term independent data becomes available, we would treat the X as promising rather than proven.

The Subscription Catch: Read This Before Buying Vision or X
This is one of the most important details in the entire Granary 2 buying decision.
PETLIBRO separates its subscription services into Petlibro Care and Video Cloud AI.
Some longer-term feeding insights and wellness features require Petlibro Care. PETLIBRO’s current purchase page was showing Care Standard at $47.99/year and Care Plus at $103.99/year when checked, although subscription pricing and promotions may change.
Camera recording and playback are a separate matter. PETLIBRO states that Video Cloud AI is required for recording and playback on the camera-equipped Granary 2 models. Live video streaming is listed in the free tier, while paid tiers add seven- or 30-day cloud history, summaries and highlight reels.
At the time of our check, the page showed Video Cloud AI Standard at $95.99/year, Premium at $135.99/year, and Premium Family at $159.99/year.
In other words, do not compare these feeders only on hardware price.
A $189.99 Vision can become a substantially more expensive ownership proposition if you want both advanced wellness tracking and cloud video features over several years.
That does not mean the subscriptions are mandatory for every buyer. It means you should decide which software features you actually care about before paying extra for the camera-equipped models.
Granary 2 vs. the Previous Granary: Is This a Real Upgrade?
For the standard model, the biggest difference is straightforward: Granary 2 adds a built-in precision scale so the system can track what was dispensed and what remains in the bowl.
For Vision, the upgrade combines that scale with an AI camera, allowing visual monitoring and food-intake information to be connected in the same feeding record.
Vision Duo adds independent weighing for the two bowls plus multi-pet recognition, while Granary 2 X takes the concept in another direction entirely by replacing RFID-style access control with camera-based recognition and a motorized lid.
So this is more than a cosmetic refresh.
But owners who simply need reliable scheduled dispensing may still find the older, cheaper Granary models perfectly adequate. The value of Granary 2 depends heavily on whether knowing actual food intake solves a problem for you.
Important Limitations Before You Buy
All Granary 2 models are designed for dry food only. PETLIBRO recommends kibble no larger than 18 mm and warns that unusually shaped pieces can be unsuitable. The feeder is not intended to dispense medication.
The hopper is designed to resist moisture and pests, but PETLIBRO explicitly says it is not a completely airtight enclosure and recommends using its desiccant packs.
Because the system relies on weighing, placement also matters. A flat, stable surface is preferable, and PETLIBRO recommends recalibrating the scale after the feeder has been disassembled and reassembled.
The standard Granary 2 is rated for up to 24 hours of backup battery power, while PETLIBRO lists up to 48 hours for Vision, Vision Duo and X under its test conditions. Feeding schedules continue if the device goes offline, although remote app control becomes unavailable.
Which Granary 2 Should You Buy?
For one cat or a small dog, Granary 2 is the easiest model to recommend on paper. You get the core upgrade—measured food intake—without paying for a camera you may never use.
For one or more cats where you want visual confirmation of who ate, Vision makes more sense.
For a multi-cat household where both cats share a feeding area and you want better individual meal data, Vision Duo is the most interesting option.
For households where food stealing, different diets, or selective access are the main problems, Granary 2 X is the only model in this family designed to physically restrict access based on pet recognition. PETLIBRO notes that each X unit is intended to track one designated cat, so multiple controlled feeding stations may be required in a multi-cat household.
TechPetly Verdict
The Granary 2 Series looks like a more meaningful upgrade than the usual annual smart-device refresh.
Its most compelling idea is surprisingly simple: measure what remains in the bowl instead of assuming that dispensed food equals eaten food.
That makes the $129.99 Granary 2 particularly attractive.
Vision and Vision Duo add useful functionality for multi-cat households, but their value becomes more dependent on PETLIBRO’s AI recognition and subscription ecosystem.
Granary 2 X is the most ambitious model of the four. Collar-free selective feeding could solve a genuine problem for multi-cat homes, but it is also the model where independent testing matters most before we would give it an unconditional recommendation.
For now, our research-based pick for most buyers is Granary 2, while Vision Duo is the model we find most interesting for multi-cat households.
