Our verdict

The PETKIT P571 is a solid pick for owners who want to see and talk to their pet at mealtime, thanks to its 1080P camera, night vision, and two way audio. It is a single hopper unit, so it works best for one cat or dog rather than a multi-pet household.

Best for

Cat and small dog owners who want live video, two way audio, and motion alerts on their phone at every meal.

Skip if

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The PETKIT P571 automatic feeder is built around a 1080P HD camera with night vision and a 140 degree wide viewing angle, so you can check in on your cat or small dog from your phone at any hour. It connects over 2.4G WiFi and includes two way audio plus a meal call feature, letting you talk to your pet or trigger a feeding alert remotely.

The 3 liter hopper holds enough dry kibble for a single cat or small dog across several days, and the stainless steel and ABS plastic build wipes down easily, though PETKIT lists hand washing only for cleaning. AI pet tracking follows movement near the bowl, and a voice recording feature lets you record your own call to bring your pet to mealtime.

At $99.99, it sits at the higher end of feeders in this roundup, but a 4.5 star rating across 851 reviews and roughly 1,000 units bought in the past month point to steady demand for its camera and audio feature set.

Performance notes

Capacity is 3 liters, with a stainless steel and ABS plastic body measuring 14.37 by 12.4 by 6.7 inches. It runs on battery power and ships with a power adapter, and Smart Home Compatibility is listed, meaning it pairs with a companion app over WiFi rather than working as a fully standalone unit.

What buyers say

A 4.5 star average across 851 ratings and about 1,000 units bought in the last month suggest owners are satisfied with the camera and audio features at this price point.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PETKIT P571 work for more than one cat?

It has a single hopper and bowl, so it is best suited to one cat or one small dog. Multi-cat homes may find the first pet to arrive eats the whole portion, since there is no way to physically separate feeding stations.

What kind of WiFi does it need?

The feeder connects over a 2.4G WiFi network for remote video, two way audio, and meal call alerts. It will not connect to a 5G-only network.

Can I clean it in the dishwasher?

No dishwasher-safe rating is listed for this model. The care instructions call for hand washing only, so plan to wipe down the bowl and hopper by hand.
