🔹 Features

The PETKIT YumShare is not your average automatic pet feeder. What sets it apart immediately is the dual-hopper design, allowing you to load two different types of kibble or treats. This is particularly useful for pets with dietary restrictions, pets that prefer variety, or households with multiple cats and dogs.

Beyond food storage, the YumShare includes a built-in HD camera so you can check in on your pets while they eat. The feeder syncs seamlessly with the PETKIT app, offering scheduling, portion control, and real-time notifications. For tech enthusiasts, it even integrates with Amazon Alexa, allowing you to feed your pet with a voice command.

Other notable features include a fresh-lock system that keeps kibble crisp, a 6L capacity (3L per hopper), and smart alerts when food levels are low. The feeder is powered by both an adapter and battery backup, giving you peace of mind in case of outages.

🔹 Setup

Setting up the YumShare is straightforward, though slightly more involved than cheaper feeders. Out of the box, assembly requires attaching the hoppers, bowl, and power supply. The PETKIT app guides you step-by-step through Wi-Fi pairing.

The dual-hopper feature requires a bit of planning—deciding which kibble goes in each hopper and how you want to schedule meals. Fortunately, the app makes this easy by allowing different distribution percentages from each hopper. For example, you can schedule meals that are 70% kibble A and 30% kibble B.

Connecting the camera requires granting app permissions, but once configured, the video stream is stable and clear. Setup takes about 15 minutes overall, and the feeder feels sturdy once in place.

🔹 Performance

When it comes to daily use, the YumShare shines. Dispensing is consistent, and the portion sizes are accurate within a few grams. The dual-hopper functionality works flawlessly, switching between kibbles without jamming.

The app control is intuitive, with options to create fixed feeding schedules or trigger manual feedings. Notifications let you know exactly when your pet has eaten, and the camera allows for real-time monitoring. Video quality is surprisingly sharp, even in low light, thanks to night vision.

In testing, pets adapted quickly to the feeder. Cats in particular seemed fascinated by the sound of kibble dropping, while dogs benefited from the consistency of scheduled meals. Battery backup worked smoothly during a brief power test, ensuring pets never missed a feeding.

🔹 Pros & Cons Analysis

The main advantage of the YumShare is its flexibility and advanced control. Pet parents who travel, work long hours, or manage multiple pets will appreciate the customization. The camera adds a layer of reassurance, letting you visually confirm that your pets are eating properly.

However, these features come at a price—both financially and in terms of space. At the higher end of the market, the YumShare costs significantly more than single-hopper feeders. It also requires steady Wi-Fi to make full use of app features.

🔹 Who It’s For

The PETKIT YumShare is ideal for:

• Multi-pet households needing food separation or variety

• Tech-savvy pet parents who value app + camera control

• Busy professionals or frequent travelers wanting peace of mind

• Owners with picky eaters who benefit from mixed food options

It’s less suitable for budget-conscious buyers or those with limited kitchen space.
