$121-$135
Pros
  • Wider stainless steel bowl than most competitors — better for medium-large breeds
  • Slow Feed mode disperses food over 15 minutes to prevent gulping
  • 24-cup capacity — largest of the feeders tested
  • Alexa-compatible for voice-controlled feeding
  • Plug-in with battery backup for power outages
  • Up to 12 scheduled feedings per day
Cons
  • Only connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi — not compatible with 5GHz networks
  • Requires app to schedule feedings — no manual programming option
  • No built-in camera
Why we recommend it

If you have a medium-to-large dog who inhales food, the Slow Feed setting alone is worth the price. No other feeder in this range offers that combination of large bowl, app control, and Alexa integration.

What the experts said

The stainless steel bowl is wider than most and online reviewers say the food hopper fits kibble that's larger than cat food.
