PETKIT YumShare Dual-Hopper with Camera

Two hoppers, two foods, one camera: the dual-diet connected feeder.

Our verdict

The YumShare Dual-Hopper solves a problem single feeders cannot: two foods, two schedules, one footprint, watched by a camera. For a prescription diet plus a topper, or two cats on different kibbles, it replaces a second feeder and a pet camera at once. Its limits are size and bands: small kibble, small portions, and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only.

What we like

  • Split 5 L storage (2 L plus 3 L) dispenses two foods on independent schedules
  • 1080p camera with a 140 degree view, infrared night vision, and AI activity capture
  • Remaining-food detection in the bowl helps prevent pile-ups
  • Two-way audio plus recorded meal calls of up to 20 seconds

What to watch out for

  • 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only, so band-split router setups need care
  • The camera disables while running on battery backup during outages
  • Kibble must be 12 mm or smaller, and portions suit cats and small dogs, not large breeds

What owners report: PETKIT YumShare Dual-Hopper with Camera

Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.

Most praised

  • Two foods from one footprint ends the second feeder for the cat on a different diet
  • The camera catches which pet actually ate, settling multi-cat questions with evidence
  • Remaining-food detection stops the bowl overflowing when a pet skips a meal

Common complaints

  • Setup on 2.4 GHz only is the usual first evening frustration
  • The camera going dark on battery backup limits outage monitoring
  • The small kibble limit makes it a cat and small dog device, not a big dog feeder

Who it is for

Multi-cat homes and owners blending two dry foods who want camera confirmation at every meal.

Two hoppers, genuinely independent

The 5 L of storage splits into a 2 L and a 3 L hopper, each dispensing 1 to 10 portions per meal on its own app schedule. That allows a measured prescription food in one tank and a regular kibble or topper in the other, blended at the bowl instead of pre-mixed in a bin where ratios drift.

A camera that watches the bowl

The 1080p camera covers a 140 degree view with infrared night vision, records activity around meals, and pairs with remaining-food detection that reports how much is sitting uneaten. Two-way audio and recorded meal calls of up to 20 seconds let owners summon a pet and then confirm it arrived.

Freshness and the fine print

A triple fresh-lock system with a desiccant keeps both hoppers sealed between meals, and the bowl is 304 stainless steel. The fine print: Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz only, kibble must be 12 mm or smaller, portions suit cats and small dogs, and the camera switches off while the feeder runs on its D-cell backup during an outage.

Questions, answered

Can the two hoppers run different schedules?

Yes. Each hopper dispenses on its own app-set schedule and portion count, so the two foods can arrive together or at different times of day.

Does the camera work during a power outage?

No. On D-cell backup the feeder keeps dispensing on schedule, but the camera is disabled to save power until mains electricity returns.

What size kibble fits the YumShare?

Dry food up to 12 mm. Larger kibble, including most large-breed dog food, is outside its design, which targets cats and small dogs.
