304 stainless steel hopper & bowls · 1–4 meals/day · 10s voice recorder · Dual power · Dry kibble only
Pets eat on a schedule. Your day doesn’t always co-operate. The PawServe™ keeps feeding time on time — whether you’re stuck at work, asleep, or away for the weekend.
The PawServe™ automatic pet feeder dispenses dry kibble on a programmed schedule: up to 4 meals per day, with 1 to 40 portions per meal. The hopper is 304 food-grade stainless steel — the same grade used in professional kitchen equipment — and the removable bowl (or bowls, on double-bowl variants) is the same material. Both the hopper and the bowls lift out for washing. The control unit does not.
Before each meal, the feeder plays back a 10-second voice message you record yourself — your voice, not a generic beep, calling your pet to their bowl. Power comes from a USB mains adapter, with 3× D-type alkaline batteries as a backup that keeps the schedule running during power cuts. An anti-clog rotor inside the hopper uses a large-torque motor to reduce the risk of kibble jamming the dispenser.
App models: 2.4GHz WiFi only
The WiFi app variants pair with 2.4GHz networks only. Most home routers support 2.4GHz, but some newer mesh systems and BT/Virgin hubs default to 5GHz or broadcast both bands as one. Check your router settings before ordering the App variant, or choose the Key Control version — identical feeder, no app required, programmed directly from the buttons on the unit.
Which variant is right for you?

| 4.5L · Double Bowl · App | 2 pets, larger capacity, app control. Best for multi-pet households wanting remote scheduling. |
| 4.5L · Double Bowl · Key | 2 pets, larger capacity, button control. Most reliable option — no WiFi dependency. |
Worth knowing before you order
Dry kibble only. This feeder is not compatible with wet food, raw food, or semi-moist food. Wet food will clog the dispenser mechanism and void the function of the unit.
Double bowl = same portion, two bowls. The double-bowl variants split one dispensed portion equally between both bowls via a 2-way splitter. It is not possible to programme different amounts for each bowl independently.
Battery backup requires D-type alkaline batteries (3×), not included. Keep a set nearby — they kick in automatically during a power cut so your pet’s schedule is not interrupted.
Maximum kibble size: approximately 1.5cm. Very large breed kibble pieces may not dispense smoothly.

Questions
My router is 5GHz — will the app version work?
The app variants pair with 2.4GHz WiFi only. If your router is 5GHz-only, the feeder will not connect to the app. If you have a dual-band router (2.4GHz and 5GHz available), you can usually connect the feeder to the 2.4GHz band. If you have a modern mesh system that broadcasts both bands under a single name, you may need to temporarily separate the bands during setup. If this sounds like faff, the Key Control variant is the same feeder with on-unit button programming — no router required at all.
What happens to the schedule during a power cut?
With 3× D-type alkaline batteries installed, the feeder continues its programmed schedule during a power outage. The batteries do not power the unit during normal operation — they kick in only when mains power is lost. Keep a set installed so your pet’s meals are not interrupted. D-type batteries are not included and need to be sourced separately before the feeder is set up.
Does it work with wet food?
No. This feeder is designed for dry kibble only. Wet food, raw food, and semi-moist food will clog the dispenser rotor and chute. If left in the hopper, wet food will also deteriorate quickly at room temperature and create a hygiene problem. For a water solution alongside a dry feeder, see PawSip™.
Can I set different amounts for each bowl on the double-bowl version?
No. The double-bowl variants use a single 2-way splitter that divides one dispensed portion equally between both bowls. Both pets eat from the same scheduled portion at the same time. It is not possible to programme different amounts or different times for each bowl independently. If your two pets need different portion sizes, the single-bowl variant with two separate feeders is the better solution.
How do I clean it?
The stainless steel hopper, lid, dispenser chute assembly, tray, and bowls all lift or pull apart for washing and are safe to hand wash or put in the dishwasher. The control unit (the white electronics housing with the display and buttons) is wipe-clean only — do not submerge it or put it under running water. Empty and wipe out the hopper every 2–3 refills to prevent kibble oil building up on the stainless steel interior.
Will large-breed kibble fit?
The dispenser handles standard kibble up to approximately 1.5 cm in size. Most cat and small-to-medium dog kibble falls well within this range. Very large breed kibble (the oversized chunks designed for large dogs) may not dispense smoothly. If in doubt, check the size of your current kibble before ordering.
Complete the mealtime setup
