xSmart, Scheduled Feeding for Cats with the iPettie Zharko Feeder
The iPettie Zharko Four Meals Automatic Wet Food Feeder turns daily feeding into a reliable routine. Its true four-meal design uses a locking lid that opens only at designated times, helping you establish predictable meal windows while keeping food secure from playful paws. This solution is ideal for busy households where a consistent feeding schedule can matter for a cat’s comfort and daily rhythm.
Beyond scheduling, the Zharko feeder is built with a whisker-friendly tray. The wide, shallow surface supports a comfortable eating experience for cats with sensitive whiskers, while still accommodating up to 8 ounces of meal per session. This thoughtful geometry helps minimize whisker fatigue and makes mealtime a calmer moment for felines and their humans.
Freshness is a key focus. The unit includes two ice packs designed to maintain cooler temperatures for different textures: fresh meat stays cold for about 3–4 hours, while canned foods stay fresher longer—up to around 12 hours. The result is more appetizing, properly chilled meals that can be served at scheduled times without constant refrigeration. A sturdy locking mechanism reinforces mess-free meals by preventing curious pets from opening the lid and sneaking seconds between designated times.
Maintenance and portability are also addressed. The feeder comes apart easily for cleaning and reassembly, making post-meal tidying quick and uncomplicated. It runs on 4 AA batteries, delivering a long service life of up to 180 days under typical use, and it includes a low-battery indicator for easy monitoring. This combination of simple upkeep and travel-friendly design makes the Zharko a versatile option for home or on the go.
