Set up the Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder and Dockstream 2 Fountain, pair the app, and build a daily routine that keeps meals fresh and water flowing without guesswork.
Quick answer
Set up the Polar Smart Wet Food Feeder and Dockstream 2 Fountain by placing each unit near a power source, pairing both in the app, and then running a short trial day to confirm cooling, water flow, and schedule timing before relying on them fully.
Why a trial day matters before you rely on the schedule
A short trial day lets you catch setup issues—like a feeder that isn’t cooling properly or a fountain that needs priming—while you’re still home to fix them. It also gives your pet time to adjust to the new sounds and routines without missing a meal.
Use the trial to confirm that the app schedule matches your pet’s actual hunger cues and that the fountain’s battery level is sufficient for your planned placement. Adjust portion sizes or meal times based on what you observe, not just the default settings.
Placement trade-offs: cooling vs. water access
The wet food feeder needs a stable, indoor spot away from direct sun and heat sources to maintain its cooling performance. The fountain, being cordless, can go where your pet already drinks, but keep it away from walls or furniture that could block the motion sensor or make refilling awkward.
If your pet grazes throughout the day, placing the feeder in a low-traffic area may reduce anxiety, but you’ll need to check the app more often for freshness status. For multi-pet homes, separate the units so one pet can’t guard both food and water.
Daily setup steps
- Unbox and place both units: Set the wet food feeder on a level, indoor surface away from sunlight and heat. Place the fountain in a spot your pet already frequents, ensuring the cordless unit has clear space around it for the motion sensor. Plug in the feeder and charge the fountain fully before first use. Check that the feeder’s cooling vents aren’t blocked and the fountain’s water level is below the max line.
- Pair both devices in the app: Open the Petlibro app, create or log into your account, and follow the in-app prompts to add the feeder and fountain. Keep each device within Bluetooth range during pairing. Name them clearly (e.g., “Kitchen Feeder” and “Living Room Fountain”) so schedules are easy to manage. If pairing fails, restart the app and ensure only one device is in pairing mode at a time.
- Set the feeding schedule: In the app, create meal times that match your pet’s current routine. Start with small portions and adjust after a few days. Use the app to confirm the feeder’s cooling is active and set a reminder to check food freshness daily. Avoid scheduling meals within 30 minutes of each other to prevent overlapping feedings.
- Configure fountain monitoring: Set water intake alerts in the app if available, and choose a notification preference that suits you. Test the fountain by running it for a few minutes and checking that water flows smoothly. Note the battery level and set a recurring reminder to recharge. If your pet is shy, run the fountain for short periods initially to help them adjust to the sound.
- Run a trial day: Simulate a full day: let the feeder dispense meals on schedule and observe your pet’s reaction. Check that the food stays cool and the fountain remains accessible. Use the app to review any alerts or consumption data. Adjust portion sizes or meal times based on what you observe during the trial.
- Establish a daily check routine: Each morning, check the feeder’s food level and freshness, and confirm the fountain’s water level and battery status. Use the app to review intake trends weekly. Clean the fountain and feeder according to the manual—typically every few days for wet food residue. Set a recurring phone reminder for cleaning and battery checks to avoid surprises.
