The WOpet Sprite Automatic Feeder is an intelligent pet feeding device designed to provide scheduled meals for small, medium, and large pets. It offers programmable feeding options, voice recording capabilities, and dual power supply for reliable operation.
Function Description
The primary function of the WOpet Sprite Automatic Feeder is to automatically dispense dry pet food at programmed times and in specified portions. Users can set up to four meals per day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a fourth meal) and customize the portion size for each. The feeder includes two exchangeable food dispensers: a Small Wheel Unit for small and medium pets, and a Large Wheel Unit for medium and large pets, allowing for precise portion control based on the pet's size and dietary needs.
A key feature is the voice recording function, which allows pet owners to record a short message that plays at programmed mealtimes, helping to call pets to eat and provide a familiar sound. The device operates on either a power adapter or three D-cell alkaline batteries (not included), offering flexibility in placement and ensuring continued operation during power outages.
Manual feeding is also possible, allowing users to dispense a single portion on demand for testing or additional feeding. The feeder's display provides clear information on current time, meal settings, and battery status.
