The person, Jestoni, who helped me through my problems with the Petlibro subscription was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and empathetic. They were able to help me with everything I needed and were so nice during the whole process.

I had a shipping issue and customer service reached out to talk me through it AND followed up to make sure our fountain was received. The fountain itself (Dockstream 2 Smart Fountain) is awesome, solving some pain points that are common with pet fountains, like the wiring getting in the way of frequent cleaning. I ended up buying a second one directly from Petlibro again, since both the service and product were good quality.

POOR APP UPDATES But Great concept
Great concept, but seriously let down by the app and firmware updates
The concept of the PETLIBRO Polar is very good, and when it works, it’s a really useful product. Unfortunately, the software and app experience has been extremely disappointing.
There are basic features missing, such as being able to tell the feeder to return to Meal 1. More importantly, every time a major app/firmware update is rolled out, it seems to introduce new problems with the actual machine. A feeder that was working perfectly can suddenly stop opening at scheduled meal times after an update.
Is there no proper testing done before these updates are released?
What is even more frustrating is the lack of acknowledgement from PETLIBRO when an update causes problems. If a software update breaks the functionality of a physical device, surely the company should acknowledge the issue, communicate what has happened, and provide a clear solution rather than leaving customers to repeatedly reset, reconnect and troubleshoot their machines.
I would genuinely love to recommend the Polar, because the concept is excellent. However, I simply cannot recommend it while major app/firmware updates continue to cause problems with the feeder itself.
The hardware has great potential — the software and update process seriously need improvement.
Response from PetlibroOct 8, 2026
Dear Zunaid,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recognizing the value and potential of the Polar feeder. We also truly appreciate your detailed feedback regarding the app and firmware update process.
We’re very sorry for the frustration this issue has caused, especially after the feeder had been working well before the recent update.
Due to a significant increase in customer inquiries, our response times have unfortunately been slower than usual. We are actively expanding and training our support team and improving our internal follow-up processes so that cases can be handled more efficiently.
Regarding firmware updates, we normally carry out extensive testing before a new version is released. However, because devices can operate under different environments and usage conditions, a small number of customers may still experience unexpected issues after an update.
We also agree that when an update is associated with unexpected device behavior, customers need clear communication and a clear path toward resolution. We should not leave customers repeatedly resetting, reconnecting, or repeating the same troubleshooting without meaningful progress. The troubleshooting steps you have already completed are documented in your case, and we will not ask you to repeat the same steps unnecessarily.
When firmware-related issues are reported, we collect affected-device information and real-world feedback, provide appropriate support to the customers involved, and share those findings with our technical team. This helps us identify the cause, improve the firmware, and develop more stable future versions.
We sincerely appreciate your suggestions regarding update quality, communication, and reliability. Feedback like yours is important in helping us improve both the product and the overall user experience.
Your case has now been prioritized, and a member of our customer service team will follow up with you within 24 hours to review the current device status and provide the appropriate next step.
We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and continued support of Petlibro.
Sincerely,
Petlibro Customer Support

Nonexistent Hotline Service
Don't even bother trying to call their customer service support number (855) 920-4555, no one picks up even if you leave a voicemail to return your call. Is this company running a scam?
I have the Granary Smart Camera Feeder that randomly stopped connecting to my own WiFi and attempted to self troubleshoot for first few days. I reached out to chat with the AI chat support where they emailed me and suggested 7 ways to troubleshoot, all to which failed. Then the bot said it would be escalated (assuming to a human finally) and that's when it went silent.
I followed up twice, called the hotline only to be told to leave a voicemail, and it's been over a week since the device has disconnected and almost a week since I've reached out to Petlibro. After reading other people's reviews on here with Petlibro products and failed customer service communication, it seems like we're all experiencing the same thing, and at this point I don't know if I'll ever be able to fix my Granary Smart Camera Feeder. They're leaving the same responses to everyone's review, but very few have been resolved.
My devices are under 2years old, are they trying to delay response to drag out the 2year warranty? Disappointingly I was enjoying their products, I have 3 different devices, but the literal nonexistent human communication from Petlibro has forced me to look elsewhere, because who wants to support a company that you pay $$$ and they leave you in the dark? Sounds and feels like a complete SCAM masked by a shiny object.

Dear Terry,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry that you have had such difficulty reaching our support team after already completing the troubleshooting steps and waiting for your case to be escalated.
Due to a significant increase in customer inquiries, our response times have unfortunately been slower than usual. We are actively expanding and training our support team and improving our internal follow-up processes so that escalated cases can be handled more efficiently and consistently.
We also want to sincerely thank you for your continued trust and support of Petlibro. We understand that you own three different Petlibro devices and had been enjoying our products before this experience. We truly value that long-term support, and we do not want to let that trust down.
Please also rest assured that your warranty coverage will not be shortened or affected simply because communication and case handling have taken longer than expected. Your case will continue to be reviewed based on the applicable warranty coverage for your product.
We understand how frustrating it has been to complete the troubleshooting, follow up multiple times, and still be waiting for a clear next step. Your case has now been prioritized again, and a member of our customer service team will follow up with you within 24 hours to continue the review and provide further assistance.
We sincerely apologize again for the delay and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this properly.
Sincerely,
Petlibro Customer Support

Unbewusstes Abonnement nach einmaliger Bestellung – Unfairer Bestellprozess
Ich habe vor etwa zwei Monaten einen Trinkbrunnen für meine Haustiere bestellt. Nun musste ich feststellen, dass mir ohne mein Wissen und ohne meine ausdrückliche Zustimmung rund 36 € von meiner Kreditkarte abgebucht wurden, da automatisch ein Abonnement für Ersatzfilter abgeschlossen wurde.
Ich halte diese Geschäftspraxis für sehr unprofessionell und unfaire Abofalle. Wenn ich Ersatzfilter benötige, sollte ich selbst entscheiden können, wann und wo ich diese bestelle. Kunden ohne eine transparente und klare Warnung im Bestellprozess in ein Abonnement zu drängen, hinterlässt einen sehr negativen Eindruck.
Ich fordere die umgehende Stornierung dieses Abonnements sowie eine Rückerstattung des abgebuchten Betrags. Bis zu einer kundenfreundlicheren Lösung kann ich einen Kauf bei diesem Anbieter nicht empfehlen.
Response from PetlibroOct 8, 2026
Lieber Tufan,
vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Erfahrung mit uns geteilt haben. Es tut uns leid, dass die unerwartete Abbuchung und das Abonnement bei Ihnen für Verärgerung und Unsicherheit gesorgt haben.
Könnten Sie bitte bestätigen, ob Sie unseren Kundenservice zu diesem Filter-Abonnement und der entsprechenden Abbuchung bereits kontaktiert haben?
Falls Sie uns bereits kontaktiert haben, aktualisieren Sie bitte diese Trustpilot-Bewertung und ergänzen Sie Ihre Support-Ticketnummer. So können wir Ihre bisherige Kommunikation eindeutig zuordnen und Ihren Fall gezielt weiterbearbeiten.
Falls Sie uns zu diesem Abonnement noch nicht kontaktiert haben, senden Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail an [email protected] und fügen Sie einen Screenshot sowie den Link zu dieser Trustpilot-Bewertung bei. Bitte aktualisieren Sie anschließend ebenfalls diese Bewertung und ergänzen Sie die neue Ticketnummer.
Sobald wir die richtige Ticketnummer haben, werden wir den Fall so schnell wie möglich prüfen und weiterverfolgen.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Mithilfe.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

No self-service way to cancel a recurring subscription
Petlibro makes it easy to subscribe to its $5.99/month Video Cloud service, but surprisingly difficult to cancel it.
My Petlibro app clearly shows Video Cloud Standard Monthly — In Use, with the renewal period ending October 19. However, there is no cancel or disable-auto-renew option anywhere on that screen. The only available action is “Switch,” which just moves the subscription to another device.
I then logged into Petlibro’s website. Its Subscription page literally says “You don’t have any subscriptions,” despite Petlibro charging my card directly through Stripe for this active subscription.
So I have an active recurring subscription that:
- Petlibro’s app acknowledges exists,
- Petlibro’s website claims does not exist,
- and neither provides a button to cancel.
I had to contact Petlibro customer support and open a ticket simply to stop a recurring monthly charge.
That is an unacceptable subscription-management experience. Customers should be able to cancel recurring billing through the same account used to subscribe, without having to contact support.
Response from PetlibroOct 9, 2026
Dear Adam,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for highlighting the difficulties you encountered when trying to manage your Video Cloud subscription. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience this has caused.
We would like to clarify that subscriptions purchased through the Petlibro App may not appear in the subscription section of our official website, as the two platforms use different subscription management systems.
Since you purchased your subscription through the Petlibro App and paid via Stripe, you can manage it by following these steps:
1. Open the Petlibro App and go to Me > My Subscriptions.
2. Tap the question mark icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Visit petlibro.app and sign in using your Petlibro App account credentials.
4. From there, you can manage your subscription, including cancellation and refund requests.
If your subscription was purchased directly through our official website, our customer service team can assist you with cancellation and refund requests.
Regarding your specific case, we have also reviewed your subscription details and noticed an issue that requires further investigation. Although your subscription was canceled and no refund has been issued, the system currently shows its status as expired, with the service ending before the original billing period of October 19.
We understand that canceling automatic renewal should not normally prevent you from enjoying the remaining period you have already paid for. We sincerely apologize for this unexpected situation.
We have escalated this discrepancy to our technical team for investigation and correction. Our customer service team will continue following up on your subscription until the issue has been properly addressed.
Thank you again for your detailed and constructive feedback. Your suggestions are valuable in helping us improve subscription management, make cancellation options more accessible, and provide a clearer and more reliable customer experience.
Sincerely,
Petlibro Customer Support

Paid $119.99 for promised replacement unit—Petlibro took my money and ghosted me completely
I am writing this review to warn other pet owners about Petlibro's alarming customer support practices and failure to deliver on paid resolutions.
Timeline of Events:
August 27, 2026: My feeder failed to connect to the app/network, so I submitted an official support ticket.
September 1–2, 2026: Support offered a replacement solution: purchase a $119.99 cloud service subscription, and they would dispatch a brand-new replacement unit alongside the service.
September 2–15, 2026: The payment link provided by support was broken. It took two weeks of repeated back-and-forth emails just to receive a functional payment URL.
September 16, 2026: I successfully paid the $119.99 and immediately replied to confirm payment.
September 18–23, 2026: No shipping confirmation or tracking details were provided. I sent four follow-up emails (Sep 18, 19, 22, and 23) asking for an update—all of which were ignored.
September 23 & Recent Weekend: Because my original ticket was completely silent, I opened two brand-new support tickets to reach someone. Neither ticket has received any response.
Conclusion:
Conditioning product replacements on paid subscriptions—and then completely abandoning the customer the moment payment is rendered—is deceptive and unacceptable.
I am proceeding with an official credit card chargeback for non-delivery of services/goods and filing formal complaints with consumer protection bureaus (BBB and FTC). Proceed with extreme caution if you rely on Petlibro's post-purchase support.
Response from PetlibroOct 8, 2026
Dear Frances,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry for the prolonged delays and lack of timely follow-up, especially after you completed the subscription purchase and were waiting for the next steps.
Due to a significant increase in customer inquiries, our response times have unfortunately been slower than usual. Please know that this delay was not intentional. We are actively expanding and training our support team and improving our internal follow-up processes so that cases like yours can be handled more efficiently and consistently.
We also want to clarify that the Video Cloud Yearly Plus plan includes additional value beyond the promotional feeder. With Video Cloud, you’ll be able to:
• Save and review up to 30 days of footage
• Watch missed moments while you're away
• Download and share adorable clips with ease
We understand how frustrating it has been to repeatedly follow up without receiving a clear resolution. Your case has now been prioritized again, and a member of our customer service team will follow up with you within 48 hours to review the current status and provide you with a clear next step.
We sincerely apologize again for the delay and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this properly.
Sincerely,
Petlibro Customer Support
