Have you noticed a change on the shelves of your favorite pet store? Devices like automatic cat feeders and fountains are gradually becoming more popular than basic bowls and litter boxes. That’s because today’s hottest cat care is a mix of science, technology, and design. If you’re ready for a high-tech upgrade but don’t know where to start, we’ve got you. We’ve ranked up our favorite smart devices from Petlibro, the pet tech company that’s leading the charge.

Here at Catster, we love anything that helps us give our cats the very best care. But what impresses us most about Petlibro’s smart devices is that they don’t just cover the daily chores, but can actually give us deeper insights into our cats’ behavior and wellness. It doesn’t hurt that they’re also beautifully designed to fit seamlessly into any cat home.

Petlibro offers a wide range of smart products to cover every cat and cat-parent need, with several exciting innovations released just this year. Keep reading for our all-time favorites, from a hydration-tracking Petlibro water fountain to a revolutionary new AI-powered automatic litter box.

How We Chose Our Top Pick

To give you the best recommendations, we focused on what matters most to cat parents: amazing functionality, special features, cat comfort and safety, and easy maintenance.

  • Functionality: The latest pet tech comes with a wide range of features powered by Wi-Fi connectivity, app control, and even AI. Just be sure to look beyond bells and whistles, and focus on functionality that will genuinely improve life for you and your cat.
  • Special features: Does your cat need to lose a little weight? Are you worried about their hydration? There’s so much specialization these days, you can find products that address your unique cat care needs and wellness goals.
  • Cat comfort and safety: This one’s non-negotiable for obvious reasons. All products for cats should be made from quality materials and designed to meet the highest standards for comfort and safety.
  • Easy maintenance: Fancy features are great, but not if they translate into complex maintenance procedures. Always make sure that any smart products are both easy to use and easy to clean.

These are the things you’ll want to think about before bringing a new device home. Or make it easy on yourself and check out our top 6 Petlibro picks below.

6 Must-Have Petlibro Smart Products

1. Luma Smart Litter Box

Petlibro - Luma Smart Litter Box

If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on in your cat’s litter box, you’re not alone. Cat parents know that a litter box holds more than their cat’s waste—it holds important health clues.1 That’s why we were thrilled when Petlibro launched the new Luma Smart Litter Box.

Powered by AI, this self-cleaning cat box is smart enough to know the difference between pee and poop, and solid from loose, so it can actually analyze your cat’s stool for important health clues. Luma summarizes what it sees and alerts you to changes, or you can check the dashboard anytime in the Petlibro app to see all the details logged by the cat. With Luma’s full-body recognition for up to 10 cats, you’ll always know who did what.

Designed to the highest standards, the Luma auto litter box is safe enough for kittens and spacious enough to accommodate larger cats. A generous waste drawer capacity means you can forget about emptying for up to seven days—longer if you only have one cat. When it’s time for a more thorough cleaning, just lift the litter basket out in two easy steps and give it a quick rinse.


2. Dockstream 2 Smart Cordless Fountain

Petlibro - Dockstream 2 Smart Cordless Fountain

Petlibro launched its award-winning Dockstream smart feline drinking fountain in 2023 to deliver fresh, filtered water along with hydration tracking, but they never stopped innovating. When the new Dockstream 2 launched in 2025, we were completely blown away.

Want to know how your cat’s hydration today compares to last month’s average? Or maybe you’re curious about their favorite time to drink. Dockstream 2 Smart Fountain knows it all. Just check the app to see how much your pet’s drinking and how often, and keep an eye on important changes with trend analysis and alerts. This next-generation Petlibro cat water fountain also delivers an anti-knockover design, a bigger detachable, pump-free tank for fewer refills and easier cleaning, plus the freedom to go cordless for up to 30 days on a single charge.


3. Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder

Petlibro - Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder

If you feed your cat wet food, you’re well versed in the benefits (as well as the downfalls). Since cats are genetically coded to get most of their hydration from food, wet food feeding is a must in many cat homes. But since wet food starts to spoil more quickly than many cats can eat it, it’s almost impossible to keep it fresh. So when Petlibro unveiled its Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder, this first-of-its-kind automatic, refrigerated feeder shot instantly to the top of cat care wishlists everywhere, including right here at Catster.

No more cumbersome ice packs or crusty bowls. The Polar automatic cat feeder uses innovative semiconductor cooling to keep three wet meals fresh for three days. Even better, cooling pauses before feeding to serve your cat’s meal at the right temperature. We also like that Petlibro offers a choice of plastic or stainless steel food bowl options and that both versions lift out for easy cleaning.


4. One RFID Smart Feeder

Petlibro - One RFID Smart Feeder

Food theft, sharing, special diets—anyone with more than one cat knows the challenges of multi-cat feedings. If this sounds like you, Petlibro’s One RFID Smart Feeder is going to be a game-changer. This innovative dry food feeder uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology to ensure that the right meal goes to the right cat, every time. You can schedule up to 10 personalized meals a day in the app, but the feeder will only unlock the lid over its food bowl when it senses its matching RFID collar tag nearby—no microchip required.

We appreciate that this smart RFID cat feeder doubles down on cat comfort and safety. The RFID tag is about the size of an earbud and weighs just 4.2 grams, comes on a snap-release collar, and features a QR code for added security. You can also choose the speed of the bowl lid, a great option for more timid cats. And if your power goes out, the One RFID Smart Feeder keeps working via battery backup, so your cat will always get fed.


5. Scout Smart Camera

Petlibro - Scout Smart Camera

As much as we don’t want to, we all have to leave our cats alone sometimes. But what if there was a way you could stay connected, see the moments that matter in their day, and check in whenever you want? And what if your cat could reach out and say hi right back? It’s all possible with Petlibro’s AI-powered Scout Smart Camera, a cat camera unlike any other we’ve used.

Scout has all the core features you want in a pet cam, like a 360° pan-and-tilt view, color night vision, and auto-tracking to keep the focus on your cat, but that’s just for starters. It’s Scout’s AI that really makes it a star. That’s because while most pet cameras just record what they see, Scout actually understands. It knows your pets by name, captures what they’re up to, and keeps you updated on the moments that matter to you most, like eating, playing, and taking selfies. Yes, you read that right. When your cat looks at the camera, Scout snaps a pic and sends it straight to your phone. Finally, alerts you’ll actually want to get.


6. Granary Smart Camera Feeder

Petlibro - Granary Smart Camera Feeder

Wirecutter named the Granary Smart Camera Feeder its top-tested automatic feeder in 2025, and we couldn’t agree with them more. Made for cat parents who hate to miss out on mealtimes, this Wi-Fi-connected Petlibro feeder lets you schedule up to 10 meals or snacks a day, and then watch your cat eat them, all right from your phone. You can even record your voice for a custom meal call.

Check in via the livestream at mealtimes or anytime. With a built-in 145° wide-angle lens and night vision, this feeder gives you a clear view, day and night. The feeder also comes equipped with motion and sound detection, so you’ll get an alert whenever your cat is nearby. If you’re worried about privacy, don’t be. The downward-facing camera only records your cat, not your home.

One Is Smart, More Are Even Smarter

As a final note, Petlibro’s connected product ecosystem deserves a special mention. It can give you a more holistic view of your cat’s care and wellness across multiple devices. This isn’t something you get from pet tech companies that only make one kind of product. Plus, it makes choosing from our top 6 Petlibro picks a lot easier, since you don’t have to narrow it down to just one.
