As someone who never thought much about tech for pets beyond the basics, I was blown away by the PetKit Dual Hopper Feeder. I’ve only had it for a short time, but it’s already changed the way I manage my dogs’ feeding — and I’m genuinely impressed.
What I Bought: The YummyShare Feeder with Camera
I have two schnauzers, and I’m very particular about their feeding. My dogs don’t eat treats or snacks, so when I decided to upgrade from a basic feeder, I went with the PetKit YummyShare model with dual hoppers and an integrated camera.
Why not Furbo?
I tried Furbo before and wasn’t a fan:
- It’s mainly for treats, not meals.
- The camera quality was honestly poor.
- The storage was too small for regular feeding.
The PetKit feeder, by contrast, has everything I needed — and more.
How It Works
The dual hopper design includes:
- Dispenser 1: Slightly smaller
- Dispenser 2: Slightly larger
You can configure it however you like — two types of kibble, or one for food and one for snacks. I use both for food only, since my dogs don’t get snacks.
The app is excellent. It allows:
- Scheduled feedings
- Manual (extra) feedings
- Real-time alerts when your pet starts eating
- A before-and-after photo comparison of the bowl
- Daily “vlog” recaps of your pet’s meals
Even with the free version of the app, you can track your dog’s eating behavior. If you upgrade to the paid plan, you can view past days’ activity in more detail — similar to the Ring camera concept.
What I Love Most
- The camera quality is seriously impressive. Clear image, solid night vision.
- The app shows when food levels change — super helpful if you’re away.
- It even tracks humidity and alerts you when the desiccant needs replacing.
- The feeder teaches you about your dog’s habits. Mine are grazers — they prefer to nibble throughout the day, not eat full meals at once.
- It’s a lifesaver when I travel — I have a neighbor check in, but feeding is fully automated for up to 10 days with my small dogs.
⚡ Of course, if there’s a power outage, the feeder won’t work, so I always have a backup plan just in case.
Design & Setup
- I bought the white version — it’s slim, modern, and minimal.
- I placed it on a small raised platform to keep it at a better height for my schnauzers’ long legs.
- The design blends beautifully into my home.
- Setup was quick, and Wi-Fi connectivity has been reliable — no frequent dropouts.
And honestly? Now my dogs refuse to eat from anything else. They love this feeder.
Is It Worth the Price?
Normally, the PetKit Dual Hopper Feeder retails for around $159, but I managed to get mine for $110 at Sam’s Club during a promo in March 2025.
So yes — it’s absolutely worth the price, especially if you catch a good deal. I highly recommend shopping around and keeping an eye on seasonal sales. For what it offers, the value is incredible.
