PETLIBRO's Product Lineup Explained: Which Line Is Which
This guide contains affiliate links — see our disclosure. Read our review methodology.
Quick answer: For most households, the base Granary Wi-Fi Feeder and base Dockstream fountain cover the core use case without paying for the premium "2"/Vision tier. Granary 2 Vision (~$204) is worth the jump specifically for multi-cat households, since its AI facial recognition logs meals by which pet is actually eating with no collar or microchip needed. Don't confuse Dockstream (~$99.99, RFID per-cat tracking) with Dockstream 2 (~$80-90, cordless but aggregate-only tracking, no RFID) — despite the similar name, only the base Dockstream delivers per-pet water intake data.
Verified 2026-08-31: added Scout Smart Camera’s price and full spec details, including which features are actually free vs. subscription-gated (the original version named neither). Also fixed a real error: this article previously claimed Dockstream 2 has “the same core RFID-tracking value proposition” as the base Dockstream — it doesn’t. Dockstream 2 is cordless with aggregate hydration tracking; only the base (non-”2”) Dockstream RFID Smart Fountain does per-cat RFID tracking. Updated Granary 2 Vision’s price (~$204, was listed at a stale ~$189.99) and added its real capability details, now that independent reviews of the line exist to verify against.
PETLIBRO shows up across several of our guides — feeders, water fountains, multi-pet feeders — because they’re one of the more prolific smart pet tech brands. That also means their lineup is easy to get confused by. This is a map of what’s actually different between the lines, not a buying guide for any one product.
Feeders: Granary vs. Granary 2
The original Granary Wi-Fi Feeder (covered in our main feeder guide) is the value pick: app scheduling, clog-resistant design, and — on the camera variant — a 1080p camera included, all around $79–99.
Granary 2 is a genuinely newer generation, not just a refresh — the Granary 2 Vision model (~$204, or ~$199.99 for the two-chute “Vision Duo” built for multi-pet homes) adds a 1080p AI camera with facial recognition that logs meals by which pet is actually eating (no collar tag or microchip needed), a 1-gram-accurate scale that tracks what’s actually consumed versus just what’s dispensed, and night vision for checking in remotely. This is a real capability jump, not a marketing rename, and it comes with a real price jump to match — budget accordingly if the multi-pet recognition is what you actually want, rather than assuming “2” just means minor improvements.
Water fountains: Dockstream vs. Dockstream 2
Despite the naming, these are not the same feature set with a different form factor — this is exactly the kind of qualifier mix-up this site has gotten wrong before (see the Furbo naming note above), so it’s worth being precise here. The Dockstream RFID Smart Fountain, covered in our water fountain guide, is the RFID-tracking model ($99.99, 3L, tracks up to 5 cats’ individual water intake via RFID collar tags). Dockstream 2 ($80–90) is a separate, cordless product — 30-day battery life, pump-free 3L tank, 4-layer filtration, ~23dB — with app-based hydration tracking, but it does not have RFID per-cat tracking. If per-pet water intake data is the reason you want a “smart” fountain, the RFID model (not Dockstream 2) is the one that actually delivers it; Dockstream 2’s “smart” tracking is aggregate, not per-cat.
Cameras: standalone vs. bundled
PETLIBRO also sells a standalone Scout Smart Camera (~$99.99, 1080p, two-way audio, auto black-and-white/color night vision), separate from the camera-equipped feeder variants — if you already have a non-camera feeder and want to add monitoring without replacing it, the standalone camera is the relevant product, not the Granary 2 Vision (which bundles feeding and camera together and isn’t a fit if you just want to add a camera to an existing feeder). Scout’s standout feature is multi-pet recognition: it identifies up to 5 individual pets and labels footage by name, with a pan-and-tilt base that auto-tracks whichever pet it’s watching — and unlike many “AI-powered” camera features on other brands, this one works on the free tier, no subscription needed for live view, two-way audio, or the pet-recognition/tracking itself. The optional plan (starting around $9.99/month) is specifically for cloud video storage, activity-history tracking, and highlight reels, not for basic functionality.
The pattern worth knowing
Across PETLIBRO’s catalog, a “2” or “Vision”/“Pro”-style suffix generally signals a real hardware/capability difference (AI recognition, larger tank, cordless design), not just a cosmetic refresh — unlike some brands where numbered sequels are mostly marketing. When comparing PETLIBRO models across our guides, check the specific line name rather than assuming “PETLIBRO” alone tells you what you’re getting.
Bottom line
For most households, the base Granary Wi-Fi Feeder and Dockstream fountain (covered in our main guides) cover the core use case without the premium of the “2”/Vision tier. The AI-recognition Granary 2 Vision is worth the jump specifically for multi-cat households where knowing which cat ate what matters — otherwise it’s paying for a capability you won’t use.

Frequently asked questions
What's the real difference between PETLIBRO's Granary and Granary 2?
A genuine capability jump, not just a refresh — the original Granary Wi-Fi Feeder (~$79-99) is a solid value pick with app scheduling and clog-resistant design. Granary 2 Vision (~$204) adds a 1080p AI camera with facial recognition that logs meals by which pet is actually eating, no collar tag or microchip needed, plus a 1-gram-accurate scale tracking actual consumption rather than just what's dispensed. Budget for the real price jump if multi-pet recognition is what you actually want.
Does Dockstream 2 have the same RFID per-cat tracking as the base Dockstream?
No, despite the similar name — this is worth being precise about. The base Dockstream RFID Smart Fountain (~$99.99) tracks up to 5 cats' individual water intake via RFID collar tags. Dockstream 2 (~$80-90) is a separate, cordless product with app-based hydration tracking, but its tracking is aggregate, not per-cat — if per-pet water intake data is the reason you want a "smart" fountain, the base Dockstream is the one that actually delivers it.
Do I need the Granary 2 Vision if I already have a feeder and just want a camera?
No — PETLIBRO's standalone Scout Smart Camera (~$99.99) is the relevant product if you already have a non-camera feeder and want to add monitoring without replacing it. It identifies up to 5 individual pets and labels footage by name on the free tier, with no subscription needed for live view, two-way audio, or the pet-recognition/tracking itself — the optional ~$9.99/month plan is specifically for cloud storage and highlight reels, not basic functionality.
Does a '2' or 'Vision' suffix on a PETLIBRO product always mean a real upgrade?
Generally yes, across PETLIBRO's catalog specifically — a "2" or "Vision"/"Pro"-style suffix tends to signal a real hardware or capability difference (AI recognition, larger tank, cordless design), not just a cosmetic refresh, unlike some brands where numbered sequels are mostly marketing. Still worth checking the specific line name rather than assuming "PETLIBRO" alone tells you what you're getting, since Dockstream 2 is the exception that actually loses a capability (RFID) rather than gaining one.
