Frienhund’s dual automatic feeder holds 29 cups of dry food, enough to cover a multi-pet household or a long weekend away. The real draw is the app control. Using the “Smart Life” app, you can schedule up to 30 meals per day, with 1 to 12 portions each. You can also trigger a remote reward portion and check the feeding log from anywhere. It’s genuinely useful for busy owners or anyone who travels and wants to keep an eye on meal times. The app allows sharing access with family members, so care doesn’t fall on one person.

The slow feeding mode is the standout feature for fast eaters. It dispenses one portion per minute, forcing your pet to pace themselves. This helps prevent choking, bloating, and weight gain from gulping down food. In daily use, the dispenser feels solid and the portions are consistent. The 18.5-inch height fits under most counters, and the 7-inch width means it won’t hog your kitchen floor.

One limitation: the feeder requires a 2.4GHz WiFi connection. It won’t work with 5GHz networks without a workaround. If your home runs on a mesh system, check compatibility before buying. For the price, it offers reliable remote control and a genuinely useful slow-feed function that addresses a common health risk.
