From Business Trips to Vacations: Why Automatic Feeders Are a Game-Changer

Leaving your cat at home while you travel, whether for a weekend getaway or an extended work trip, can be stressful. Who will feed them? Will the food stay fresh? Will your cat refuse to eat because the routine has changed?

That is where automatic feeders come in. But not all feeders are the same. If your cat eats wet food, you need a solution built specifically for it. The Ovvi Automatic Wet Food Feeder is designed to meet the needs of wet food feeding, making life easier for both you and your cat while you are away.

The Challenges of Leaving a Cat at Home

Cats are creatures of habit. Disrupting their routine can lead to stress, changes in appetite, or overfeeding.

Common concerns when traveling include:

• Relying on a sitter or neighbor to feed your cat at the right time
  
  

• Struggling to portion wet food and keep it fresh
  
  

• Worrying about spoiled meals, skipped feedings, or messy bowls
  
  

• Losing control of your cat’s diet and daily routine

These concerns are valid, especially when your cat is used to eating at consistent times. That is why having a reliable automatic feeder can give you peace of mind.

Why Most Automatic Feeders Are Not Ideal for Wet Food

Most automatic feeders are made for dry kibble. Some claim to handle wet food, but typically that means placing it in an open tray with ice packs underneath and hoping it stays fresh. Without smart portion control or freshness features, these feeders fall short for wet food diets.  

Additionally, most “automatic” feeders for wet food are not actually automatic.  You still have to open cans by hand every morning, scoop food into trays, and then clean out the trays every night to prepare for the next day.

This is exactly what sets Ovvi apart.

Ovvi: Designed Specifically for Wet Food Feeding

The Ovvi Automatic Wet Food Feeder was created for cat parents who serve wet food and want control, structure, and reliability while away from home. Here is what makes it different.

Holds Up to 8 Cans of Wet Food

Ovvi stores up to eight 5.5 oz wet food cans in the feeder. This provides enough meals for several days depending on your cat’s schedule. Ovvi holds more wet food than any other wet food feeder available today.

Choose Precise Portions

You can serve partial can portions of: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 of a can.  You can serve full cans from 1 can all the way up to 8 cans all in a row, as long as enough new cans are loaded. At your chosen feeding time, the feeder opens and your cat eats until the portion is complete. It then closes until the next scheduled meal. This helps maintain portion control and consistent feeding routines even when you are not home.

Set Freshness Windows

In the app, you can set how long each opened can stays available by adjusting the “Open Can Life” setting. Ovvi tracks how long a can has been open and, based on your selected window (from 1 to 24 hours), it will automatically discard the can once that time is up—even if there’s still food inside. This gives you complete control over how fresh the food stays for your pet.

Schedule Up to 10 Meals Per Day

Ovvi lets you schedule multiple small meals throughout the day, helping to slow down fast eaters and reduce the risk of vomiting from eating too quickly. With food available at regular intervals, your cat stays calm, content, and well-nourished. Mealtime anxiety fades, and the steady intake of wet food helps support daily hydration.

Easy Can Disposal

When you return home, used cans can be removed at the touch of a button. No mess and no need to handle spoiled leftovers.

Why Ovvi Is Ideal for Travel

Whether you are leaving for a long weekend or flying out for work, Ovvi ensures that your cat stays on their usual feeding routine without interruption.

Cats are highly sensitive to changes in their environment and daily schedule. In fact, a study by Ohio State University found that even healthy cats can develop symptoms like vomiting, refusal to eat, or inappropriate elimination when their normal routine is disrupted. Maintaining consistent mealtimes is one of the most important ways to reduce that stress.

With Ovvi, you can:

• Stick to your cat’s exact feeding schedule
  
  

• Eliminate the need for a sitter to portion or serve wet food
  
  

• Keep wet food fresh, safe, and appealing
  
  

• Avoid overfeeding or missed meals
  
  

• Come home to a clean, stress-free feeding area

Ovvi supports your cat’s emotional and physical well-being by providing regular, timed meals that feel familiar—even when you are not there.

Great for Busy Days at Home Too

Ovvi isn’t just for vacations or travel—it’s designed to make everyday life easier. Whether you’re stuck in traffic, working late, juggling the kids' school drop-offs and sports, caring for a loved one, or simply enjoying time with friends, Ovvi ensures your cat is always fed on time. No matter how busy life gets, Ovvi keeps mealtime consistent, safe, and stress-free.

Consistent Meals, Even When You Are Not Home
