An automatic cat feeder is one of the few pet gadgets that changes daily life: it releases measured meals on a schedule, so a weekend away, a late shift or a cat that wakes you at 5 a.m. no longer decides when the bowl gets filled. Canadian cat owners also face a practical wrinkle that shoppers in warmer countries do not: long winter trips by car or plane, power outages during storms and small apartments where a bulky machine has nowhere to sit. We looked at the cat feeders on Amazon.ca on Nov. 5, kept only models that are sold by the brand itself or Amazon.ca, and set the picks side by side on price, capacity, power and features.

A note on the numbers: the PETLIBRO listings show the same review count of 10,395 for the 5L and camera models, which suggests Amazon groups reviews across variants. Treat those ratings as a brand-level signal, not a score for one machine.
Our picks for the best automatic cat feeder in Canada
No. 1, best for one cat and remote control: PETLIBRO 5L Wi-Fi Automatic Cat Feeder. This is the feeder for owners who want to set meals from a phone and forget about them. The listing says it joins 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, holds 5 L and runs on dual power, so a mains outage does not stop meals if batteries are installed. It also lists a patented rotor in the tank base and a twist-lock lid meant to stop clever cats from fishing out extra food, phone notifications and indicator lights, and a recorded meal call of up to 10 seconds. Amazon.ca lists it at $129.99, sold by PETLIBRO-CA, with 4.2 stars from 10,395 reviews shared across the brand’s variants. The trade-off is the price: it costs three times as much as the cheapest timed feeder, and the Wi-Fi features only matter if you will use them.

No. 2, best for two cats: oneisall Automatic Cat Feeder for 2 Cats. Two cats sharing one bowl is a recipe for squabbles, and this feeder answers it with two bowls placed opposite each other, 11 inches apart. The listing describes a dial that simplifies programming, a 5 L (20 cup) tank that it says can feed two adult cats for about 10 days, and a 10-second voice recorder that plays a call before each meal. It costs $69.99 on Amazon.ca, is sold by ONEISALL-Direct, and shows 4.4 stars from 4,446 reviews, the highest rating among our larger-volume picks. There is no app, so you cannot change meals while you are away. If you want schedule changes from your phone, look at the Wi-Fi models instead.

No. 3, best with a camera: PETLIBRO Wi-Fi Automatic Cat Feeder with HD Camera. If you want to see your cat eat, this is the pick. The listing describes a 1080P camera, two-way audio through a built-in microphone and speaker, motion detection that captures video of the pet eating, app control on 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and a 5 L tank. It is $152.97 on Amazon.ca, sold by PETLIBRO-CA, rated 4.2 stars. Remember that a camera inside your home carries a privacy cost, so read the app’s account and storage settings before you set it up. It also costs $23 more than the no-camera 5L model, which is the price of the video.

No. 4, best on a tight budget: IMIPAW 3L Timed Cat Feeder. At $42.99, this is the cheapest pick, and it keeps things simple. The listing describes a programmable 12-hour clock, a built-in LCD screen for setup, a 3 L (12 cup) food tank that includes a desiccant bag, and dual power from a 5V adapter or three D-cell batteries (not included). It is sold by IMIPAW and shows 4.2 stars from 4,967 reviews. There is no app and no camera, and 3 L is a modest tank, so plan to refill it more often than the 5 L models during a longer trip.

No. 5, best for fast eaters: PAPIFEED Wi-Fi Automatic Cat Feeder. Some cats gulp their food and bring it back up. This model lists a built-in slow-feeding mode that releases one portion a minute. It also lists app control on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, a 3 L (12 cup) tank, a stainless steel bowl, and dual power from a 5V adapter or four AA batteries (not included). Amazon.ca shows $49.99, sold by PapiFeed, 4.1 stars from 5,324 reviews. It works only on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so check your router if yours is 5 GHz only. If your cat vomits after meals, talk to your veterinarian rather than relying on a feeder setting.

No. 6, best for multi-pet homes: Sure Petcare SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder. This one is different, and it belongs here for a reason. It is not a timed dispenser. It is a bowl whose lid opens only for the pet whose microchip it recognizes, which stops one animal from stealing another’s food. The listing says it works with 9-digit, 10-digit and 15-digit microchip numbers, holds 13.5 fl. oz of wet or dry food, and closes with a sealing lid. It is listed at $267.80, sold by Sure Petcare Canada, with 4.0 stars from 13,030 reviews. That is a high price, but the problem it solves, a cat on a prescription diet living with a food thief, is one that timers cannot fix. You will still fill the bowl by hand.

How we chose. We searched Amazon.ca for automatic cat feeders on Nov. 5, 2026, including camera and Wi-Fi models. We kept products with a rating of 4.0 stars or higher and at least 4,000 reviews on the listing, and we kept only listings sold by the brand itself or its own Amazon.ca store, not unknown resellers. We read each product’s listing page for price, capacity, power, features and seller. We did not read individual owner reviews for this guide and did not test the products ourselves. We left out a 4.6-star model with only 151 reviews and two listings sold by sellers we could not tie to the brand. Picks are ranked by fit for the question, not by price or commission.
Timed feeder or app feeder: which is right?
A timed feeder with an LCD or dial runs without a phone, a router or an account, and that is its biggest advantage. It will keep working through an internet outage, which is not rare in rural Canada, and it has less to go wrong. A Wi-Fi feeder adds the ability to change a meal from the airport, see notifications when food is dispensed or running low, and sometimes watch your cat. If your trips are short and your routine is fixed, the cheaper timed feeders are enough. If you travel often or have a cat with a changing diet, the app is worth paying for.
What happens in a power outage?
Every automatic feeder here except the microchip bowl lists dual power: a plug-in adapter plus batteries. That matters in a Canadian winter, when ice storms and wind can knock out power for hours or days. Put fresh batteries in even if the feeder is plugged in, and replace them on a calendar rather than waiting for a warning. The IMIPAW takes three D cells and the PAPIFEED takes four AA cells, and neither listing includes them. Check the PETLIBRO listings for the battery details of the model you choose.
Do automatic feeders work for wet food?
Most of the dispensers here are listed for dry food, and the IMIPAW and PAPIFEED listings say so. Wet food spoils at room temperature, so a timed machine is a poor fit for it. The Sure Petcare bowl is the exception, because its listing says it holds wet or dry food and seals shut, though you still fill it by hand. If your cat eats wet food, ask your veterinarian before you rely on any automatic setup.
When is the best time to buy in Canada?
Pet gadgets often see price changes around Black Friday (Nov. 27 this year), Boxing Day and Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, though discounts are never guaranteed and we do not know what any of these products will cost then. The prices in this guide are the ones we saw on Nov. 5. If a feeder you want is not discounted, a holiday gift timeline may matter more than waiting, especially for a first-time cat owner.
Who should skip an automatic feeder
An automatic feeder suits healthy adult cats on dry food who eat on a predictable schedule. Skip one, or ask your veterinarian first, if your cat has a medical condition that needs measured portions, eats mostly wet food, or has a history of eating too fast. A feeder also does not replace a person: if you are away for more than a couple of days, someone should still check on the cat, the water and the litter box. Our guide to the best automatic litter boxes in Canada covers the other half of the routine.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best automatic cat feeder in Canada?
For one cat, our top pick is the PETLIBRO 5L Wi-Fi feeder at $129.99 on Amazon.ca. For two cats, the oneisall two-bowl feeder at $69.99 is a better fit. Prices were checked on Nov. 5, 2026.
How much does an automatic cat feeder cost in Canada?
The feeders in this guide range from $42.99 for a basic timed model to $152.97 for a camera model. The microchip bowl from Sure Petcare is $267.80.
Can an automatic feeder feed two cats?
The oneisall model lists two bowls placed opposite each other and a tank it says feeds two adult cats for about 10 days. If one cat eats more than the other, a microchip feeder such as the Sure Petcare SureFeed may suit better, because it opens only for the registered pet.
Do automatic cat feeders work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. The IMIPAW and oneisall feeders are programmed on the machine itself with an LCD or a dial and do not need Wi-Fi. The PETLIBRO and PAPIFEED models use Wi-Fi for app control.
Are cat feeders with cameras worth the extra money?
It depends on how often you are away. The PETLIBRO camera model costs about $23 more than the same brand’s no-camera 5L feeder, and it lists two-way audio and motion detection. Weigh that against the privacy of putting a camera in your home.
