Cat Automatic Feeders

Automatic feeders release measured portions on a schedule, which suits long working days, early feeds, and cats who need several small meals rather than one large one. They also take the cat off waking you at five in the morning. Pet Corner Dubai stocks automatic cat feeders from Drinkwell, Petsafe and Petmate.

What makes our cat automatic feeder range stand out

1. Programmable portions for weight control

Petsafe units dispense a set amount at set times, which removes the guesswork and the topping up that quietly makes an indoor cat overweight.

2. Multiple small meals a day

Cats naturally eat many small meals. Four or five scheduled portions suits their digestion far better than one or two large ones.

3. Sealed hoppers that keep dry food fresh

Airtight storage matters in UAE humidity, where kibble left open goes stale and can develop mould within weeks.

4. Battery backup

Units that hold their schedule through a power cut mean a cat is still fed if the supply drops while you are out.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave my cat with an automatic feeder while I travel?

For one night, possibly. For longer, no. Feeders jam, cats knock them over, and nothing monitors whether your cat is actually eating, using the tray or unwell. Cats need someone checking on them daily, and a feeder is a convenience rather than a substitute.

Will it work with wet food?

Only feeders specifically designed for wet food, and those hold a limited number of meals and often need an ice pack. In UAE temperatures wet food left out spoils within a couple of hours, so most owners use automatic feeders for dry food only.

Will it stop my cat waking me at dawn?

Usually yes, and it is one of the best reasons to buy one. Setting an early morning portion means the cat learns that food arrives from the machine rather than from waking you, and the association with you shifts within a couple of weeks.

How do I stop my cat breaking into it?

Choose a unit with a locking lid and a weighted or wide base, and place it away from surfaces the cat can push it off. Determined cats do defeat lightweight feeders, so build quality matters here more than features.
