Surely you have heard of Xiaomi and you probably don't hesitate to associate it with technological products, such as the so-called smartphones. But today we are going to talk about a novelty from the brand that dog and/or cat keepers may be interested in, especially if we spend the day away from home or must be absent for some reason. And it is that Xiaomi has entered a new product category: pets. Specifically, it has launched a smart feeder and drinker, which we can easily control from our mobile, just using an application.
In the following article on our site, we explain how these new Xiaomi accessories work, how much they cost and why you should get one or both.
Xiaomi Smart Feeder Features
Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder is the smart feeder launched by Xiaomi to facilitate the feeding of cats and small or medium-sized dogs. As we move forward, we can call it “smart” because it works from an application, specifically, we can control it from the Xiaomi Home. These are the features that make this feeder unique:
- Unique six-grid dispensing structure.
- Food stirrer made of delicate and flexible silicone.
- Dispenser Blades.
- Stainless steel container to contain the food, removable for easy washing.
- Designed for prolonged use, hence its large capacity, since it can contain approximately 1.8 kg of dry food (you have to remember that it is indicated for cats and small/medium dogs).
- Moisture-proof design, which means food stays fresh and safe (mold can be harmful to our animals and even us).
- It is plugged into the mains, however, it can continue to work even if there is a power outage, thanks to the fact that it has another battery supply system.
The result is that the feed is offered to the animal smoothly and through a wide channel, which helps to avoid jams.
As we have said, its operation is controlled from the application. From it you have the possibility to program a time and amount of food so that your dog or cat receives its food automatically, that is, it will only be at your reach at that time, which prevents it from being exposed to the air for hours or the risk that the animal can throw it. From the application you can also offer additional food whenever you want. Of course, using the application allows you to control the feeder from outside the home and at any time of the day. In addition, it is important to note that so that the animal does not run out of food at any time, the feeder sends reminders to fill it up when food reserves are low.
Xiaomi Smart Fountain Features
Xiaomi Smart Pet Fountain is a water fountain designed for small to medium sized cats and dogs. In particular, cats will like it, as it allows the water to be stirred, which is an attraction for many of them. That is why it is a good way to encourage them to drink more It is recommended, since you have to know that they are animals that, in general, usually drink little water, a circumstance which can cause problems in the urinary tract, especially if they only eat dry food.
Xiaomi Smart Font stands out for:
- A four-stage filtration system, which ensures that the water remains fresh and clean 24 hours a day. It manages to eliminate from fine particles to an excess of ions that can be harmful to the animal.
- It is very quiet, which is important, especially if we live with a cat, as they are animals that are very sensitive to noise and could become frightened.
- We will receive a warning when there is little water left in the fountain, but also when it needs to be cleaned or the filter needs to be changed. In the fountain itself, the red pilot is a sign that more water needs to be filled. In this way we ensure that the animal never runs out of it.
- It holds two liters.
Like the feeder, is easily controlled from our mobile, thanks to the Xiaomi Home application. With it we can choose when or how often to renew the water with all comfort from the place where we are at that moment.

- Allows you to offer dogs and cats water and/or food for 24 hours automatically, controlling the operation from wherever you are.
