Petkit brand automatic pet feeders and drinking fountains have been mentioned in a couple of forums lately. I have the network connected feeder and water devices and they are working well. They are inexpensive, but as always, they try to get you later with ongoing consumables - in this case filters and dessicant.

I just noticed that our friends at PBTech are much cheaper for dessicant ($10) vs Amazon (NZD26) and Petkit (USD15) and competitive for water filters ($33) vs Amazon (NZD35) and Petkit (USD20) and that's not even taking into account shipping.

Great reminder, thanks heaps!

Noticed the desiccant for my Petkit dry food auto feeder was on special there so bought a couple of packs to keep me going but even the normal price ($15 I think) isn't too bad for the bag of 5. Might get a couple more while the special is still on 🙂

Got to say, even in Auckland humidity a 3.5kg bag of dry food was still dispensing dry as a bone after the initial dessicant was 4 weeks past its due date. And the water fountain filters I just rinsed out to double their life.

I just replaced the 2 month old desiccant (supposed to be monthly) in the feeder. Before doing so I weighed the old and new desiccant and the old one was only 2g heavier.

Unscientific for many reasons it doesn't seem to have absorbed much moisture at all and I suspect it is because the much larger volume of dry food would absorb most of the moisture before the desiccant gets a chance.
