MEALIO Station 2-in-1 Pet Feeder & Water Bowl
MEALIO Station 2-in-1 Pet Feeder & Water Bowl
A tidy eat‑and‑drink corner, instead of two bowls wandering around the kitchen.
MEALIO Station is a gravity food and water set for cats and small‑to‑medium dogs. Fill the clear tank with water and the white hopper with dry kibble. As the bowls empty, more food and water drop in on their own. Nothing plugs in.
Kibble sits in the hopper above a wide outlet. As your pet eats, the level in the bowl drops and more slides down to replace it.
The water side runs on a siphon. As your pet drinks and the level falls, air rises into the tank and water drizzles back down into the bowl while they are still standing there. It settles at the same level every time, so the bowl never looks half empty.
There is no pump, no timer and no battery. It keeps working during load‑shedding because there is nothing to switch off.
Why people buy it
It is not a timed feeder. It does not portion meals or feed on a schedule. Food stays available until the hopper runs out.
There is no app, Wi‑Fi, camera or voice. Nothing connects to your phone. That is the point of it, but it is worth knowing before you order.
It is free‑feeding. If your vet has you on a strict portion plan, or you have a pet that will eat until it is ill, this is the wrong tool.
Good to know
Dry kibble only on the food side. Wet food will block the chute.
Wash the tanks and bowls often. Standing water grows a film faster than people expect.
Stand it on a mat. Gravity water can drip a little if you overfill the tank.
Best suited to cats and small dogs. A large dog will empty it quickly.

One eat-and-drink corner for cat and small-dog homes
Fill the hopper and tank once. Gravity and siphon keep bowls topped with no plug, app, or battery — food stays dry, water stays level, and two pets can approach without crowding.
Gravity hopper, siphon tank
Kibble slides as the bowl empties. Water drizzles back to the same line while they drink. Nothing to pair, charge, or time.
See levels, fill for a weekend
Clear 2.6 L tank and a hopper window. Filled to the top, bowls stay topped for up to 72 hours, depending on appetite and how many pets share it.
360° swivel bowls
Turn the stainless food bowl and water side so two pets eat from whichever angle suits — kibble never sits in a puddle.
Set it down once. Gravity does the rest.
No pairing, no charging, no schedule. Dry kibble in the hopper, water in the tank, bowls on a mat — then leave them to it.
-
Step 1
Pour dry kibble into the hopper
The 2.4 L white hopper feeds a wide gravity chute. Wet food will block it — keep this side dry only.
-
Step 2
Fill the 2.6 L siphon tank
As they drink, air rises and water returns to the same bowl line. Do not overfill; stand the station on a mat in case of a drip.
-
Step 3
Swivel the bowls and walk away
Turn the 360° base so two pets can approach. Check the window and tank when you next pass — refill when levels look low.
See the levels. Fill once for up to 72 hours.
Honest capacity for free-feeding dry kibble — not a timed meal. How long a fill lasts depends on pet size, appetite, and how many share the station.
Hours between refills
Filled to the top, both bowls stay topped for up to 72 hours — enough for a weekend away for many cats and small dogs.
Litres of siphon water
The 2.6 L clear tank returns water to the same bowl line as they drink. Wash often; standing water grows a film.
Litres of dry kibble
The 2.4 L hopper gravity-feeds the stainless bowl. Best for cats and small dogs; a large dog will empty it quickly.
This is free-feeding, not portion control. If your vet set a strict meal plan, or a pet will eat until ill, choose a timed feeder instead.

Food and water stay topped in one footprint
Gravity hopper plus siphon tank — nothing to pair, charge, or time. Two wandering bowls cannot do that.

Pets & size
Care
Does it portion meals or run on a timer?
No. It is not a timed feeder. Food stays available until the hopper runs out. Gravity refills the bowl as they eat; the siphon keeps water at the same line.
Do I need a plug, app, or batteries?
Nothing plugs in, pairs, or charges. There is no pump, Wi-Fi, camera, or voice. It keeps working during a power cut because there is nothing to switch off.
Will the kibble get soggy?
Water and food sit on separate sides. The stainless food bowl is not the siphon bowl, so dry kibble stays dry if you do not overfill the tank.
Is this for a large dog?
It is best for cats and small-to-medium dogs. A large dog will empty the 2.4 L hopper and 2.6 L tank quickly. Two small pets can share if you swivel the bowls.
My vet wants measured meals. Should I buy this?
If you are on a strict portion plan, or a pet will eat until it is ill, this is the wrong tool. It is free-feeding dry kibble only.
How long does a fill actually last?
Up to 72 hours when both sides are filled to the top. Real time depends on pet size, appetite, and how many animals use the station.
Can I put wet food in the hopper?
No. Dry kibble only. Wet food will block the chute.
How often do I wash it?
Wash tanks and bowls often. Standing water grows a film faster than people expect. Stand the station on a mat; gravity water can drip a little if you overfill.
What is in the box and how big is it?
Base with two bowls, water tank, food hopper, and stainless steel food bowl. About 29 × 24 × 25 cm. Grey base, white hopper, clear tank. Colour and parts match the listing — no extra gadgets.
