Opens and seals automatically O p e n s a n d s e a l s a u t o m a t i c a l l y

After they walk away

Your pet’s food shouldn’t sit exposed for hours.

Ordinary bowls leave wet food exposed after mealtime.

Pests find it Contamination gets in Odour spreads Freshness drops Money gets wasted
Pests and disease risk

Flies move from bins, drains and litter areas straight onto exposed food.

Contamination risk

Dust, fur, insects and household mess get a clear path into the bowl.

Money wasted

Wet food dries out, loses freshness and gets scraped into the bin.

That’s the gap HAVN Node was built for.

HAVN Node

The bowl that closes when they walk away.

Happier, healthier pets. Cleaner household. No stale smells.

HAVN Node opens when your pet approaches and seals when they leave, keeping wet food covered between visits instead of sitting exposed to flies, odour and waste.

Genuinely clever product. It was quite fun to watch my cats interact with it at first. Now they feel like they are receiving the royal treatment and love the lid opening for them. I tried both with dry and wet foods and the lid keeps their food nice and fresh which works perfectly for my fussy ragdoll who eats a tiny bit and then walks away. Will need to buy another one so they don’t fight over one Havn Node. Thoroughly recommend!

I only got my feeder yesterday, and so far I’m very impressed. If you live in a tropical climate and have a grazing cat who only eats a couple of mouthfuls at a time, it is perfect for leaving food out while keeping cockroaches away. It actually seals properly, so nothing can get into the food!
I expected that I might have to ease my cat into using it, but she took to it straight away. I’ve already ordered another one for her wet food.

​I am so relieved to find a feeder that doesn't require a confusing app or twenty useless features. It has one simple job: the sensor opens the lid when my cat approaches and closes it when he leaves.
​The seal keeps the food super fresh and completely pest-free. My cat can finally graze at his leisure throughout the day without me worrying about spoiled food. If you want a dependable, tech-headache-free feeder, this is it!

We've been using the HAVN Node with our 6 year old blue heeler, Spirit, and it's become part of her daily routine. She can take the whole day to eat, so it's great knowing her food stays covered and our house doesn't smell for the whole time.

The motion sensor works really well, it's quiet, durable, and she was happy to use it immediately. It's also really easy to clean, which makes a big difference with wet dog food. Definitely recommend it to anyone with a dog that doesn't always finish their meal in one go.

Thank you HAVN Labs 🙂

Been loving our new HAVN Node for our new Kitten.
Keeps the food fresh while he is nibbling throughout the day. Keeps the flies and ants away(and the smell).
Our Lilo loves it too💙

Best customer service. I actually bought this from their pop up at Robina Town Centre.. Silvy my cat took some time to get used to it but shes eating so much better now.. the bowl is so wide and she seems so much more comofrtable with her big maine coon whiskers :) Thanks HAVN Labs. Saving up to buy another one for my other maine coon kitty!

Angela

I was a bit unsure about this because I thought my cat might be spooked by it but it’s fantastic! It’s surprisingly smooth, quiet action is great because it doesn’t startle my cat at all. Size and depth of the bowl is perfect as it accommodates his whiskers which is excellent! (Something other bowls don’t accommodate and it’s a real issue) So far, I’m impressed and very happy and so is my cat🤩
Also keeps down the odour of cat food in between his snack attacks.

I love it 😻 i tried one first my cat go spooked when it opens but he got used to it so i got another one for my kitten. It kept the food from drying out thank you!

The HAVN Node is fantastic! I have been wasting so much wet food as my 3 furkids tend to graze all day so whatever they walk away from loses it freshness and appeal quite quickly and therefore gets binned. This is a game changer. All 3 started using it within 30 minutes of getting it today and have been back numerous times since. This would never happen if the food was left in their bowls. They were a bit wary of the opening and closing of the lid at first but have been very brave and persisted to feed from it. As they get fed indoors its also nice to be able to contain that cat food smell. It is also very easy to use and very easy to clean between feeds. I will definately be purchasing another one. This is a brilliant product and I would highly recommend it.

Carolanne

Bought one of these for my old 17 year old boy. He was a bit confronted by the opening at first, but soon got the hang of it with the smell of fresh food. As a cat that likes to graze throughout the day, I find the NODE great for keeping his wet food moist and fresh. Highly recommend

Jeka

Great for our elderly cat that eats small portions each time and doesn't like when wet food dried up, so the device helps wet food to stay wet.

Nice product , looks good but just as noisy opening and closing as a similar one I bought for a third of the price… The size is good but after the ad said it was super quiet I thought it would be great for my grazing cat who was always a little bit hesitant with the other one. The colour looks different in the pictures than what I received also but that’s no biggie…

This was the best thing I bought for my cats! No more food wastage or smells in the house. I love the sleek design and it makes the pet area look tidy and clean. Highly recommend!!

This is an Amazing product - I love it - however my cat Floofy 4 1/2 is terrified of it. I have tried everything I can but to no avail - I had really high hopes for her. The product is AMAZING - I have given it to my neighbour and his cat LOVES IT.

A
Ammie

Really really happy with this product! My extra fussy samoyed is a terror for leaving biscuits out to go stale. He grazes, and we were wasting so much of his food throwing it out. This has been an absolute lifesaver! The opening and closing is gentle and happens far enough away that it hasn't startled him at all. I haven't thrown any biscuits out since this arrived, instead, finding his bowl empty. Would absolutely recommend this, and the service I've recieved has been exceptional. Thanks so much Havn!

I was asked to test the node for 3 weeks in Jan 2026 and honestly we have been using it ever since, so much better than a normal bowl, way less smells. 1 bowl does perfect with my 2 cats.

I was sent this product to test and honestly , they nailed it, love how seamlessly it fits our small apartment and best part NO MORE FLIES.

It took us a few days to get her used to it, but now she's loving her node. and we love not having pet food smell in the apartment

Common questions

Questions before switching bowls?

Simple answers about how HAVN Node works, what it suits, and what to expect at home.

Not an auto-feeder

Is HAVN Node an automatic feeder?

No. It does not dispense food or run on schedules. HAVN Node opens when your pet approaches and closes when they leave.

Wet and dry food

Does it work with wet and dry food?

Yes. HAVN Node is designed for both wet and dry food. Your pet's food should always be covered. Especially where smell, drying out, flies and waste are involved.

Pet adjustment

Will my pet be scared of it?

Most pets adjust straight away. Others need a little time. The lid movement is smooth and simple, so most pets can learn it naturally. If you have a more fearful pet, place the Node near their usual food bowl, and encourage them using their favorite treats! Let them explore it fully for a few days.

Sensor movement

Does it close while they eat?

No. The HAVN Node is designed to stay open while your pet is nearby, then close automatically after they walk away, keeping their food protected.

Quiet everyday use

Is it noisy?

No loud dispensing, no grinding, no scheduled clunking. HAVN Node is designed to quietly open and close during everyday feeding.

Easy cleaning

Is it easy to clean?

Yes. Very. The bowl insert is removable, so you can clean it like a regular pet bowl. Lift out, spray, wipe, rinse, and pop back in. Just avoid soaking the electronic base. To clean the base you can simply wipe it with a damp cloth.

The practical details

Still have questions?

The details worth knowing before you bring HAVN Node home.

What problem does HAVN Node actually solve?

Normal pet bowls, and auto feeder bowls stay open all day. Food is exposed to air, flies, odours, dust and whatever else is floating around your home.

HAVN Node helps protect food between meals by keeping it covered when your pet is not eating.

This protection reduces your pet's exposure to serious things such as pathogens from parasite-carrying insects, to simple annoyances like hair in their food or dried out raw/wet food.

Does it really save me money?

Fussy pets and dried out wet food can cost owners hundreds of dollars per year in wastage.

Especially if your pet tends to graze, walk away, or come back to their food later.

With a normal bowl, wet food can dry out, smell stronger, attract flies, or become less appealing before your pet finishes it.

The Node won’t magically cut your food bill in half but keeping wet food fresher for longer, keeps more money in your pocket.

Is it easy to set up?

Plug in device or insert AA batteries, and long press the 'on' button. The device is now set up.

Is it good for multi-pet homes?

Yes. Multiple pets can use HAVN Node if they’re comfortable sharing a feeding area. For strict diets or food guarding, separate bowls are best.

Is this just for the owner, or does it help the pet too?

It helps both. For owners, it means less exposed food, less smell, and less waste. For pets, it means food is kept covered between meals meaning it isn't exposed to contamination such as hair, dust and parasite carrying insects such as flies.

Will it keep food fresh forever?

No, and no bowl should claim that.

HAVN Node ensures food is covered and unexposed between meals, which prolongs freshness and most importantly protects your pet throughout the day. It does not replace safe food handling, refrigeration, or common sense with wet food.

Does HAVN Node stop flies completely?

HAVN Node eliminates exposure by keeping food covered when your pet walks away. No more pesky flies leaving eggs and potential disease in your pet's food.

Will my pet be scared of it?

Most pets adjust straight away. Others need a little time. The lid movement is smooth and simple, so most pets can learn it naturally. If you have a more fearful pet, place the Node near their usual food bowl, and encourage them using their favourite treats and just let them explore it fully for a few days.

How do I clean it?

Remove the bowl insert and clean it regularly like you would a normal pet bowl. Spray, wipe, rinse, and dry.

Avoid soaking the electronic base. Wipe the outer unit with a damp cloth when needed.

Does it need to be plugged in?

HAVN Node can be powered by USB-C or batteries.

That gives you flexibility depending on where you want to place it in your home.

Does it close on my pet while they are eating?

HAVN Node is designed to open while your pet is nearby and close after they leave. It does not close on your pet.

What size pets is it suitable for?

HAVN Node is best suited for cats and small to medium dogs.

For very large breeds, the bowl may still work, but the feeding position and bowl size may not be ideal.

What if something goes wrong?

HAVN Node is covered by our warranty.

If your unit arrives faulty or something is not right, contact HAVN Labs and we will help sort it properly.

Slide to compare exposed food with the job HAVN Node is built for.

01

Timing is not the whole problem.

Scheduled feeding can be useful, but it does not stop food sitting open once it has been served.

02

Exposure is what happens after.

Smell, drying, flies, dust and wasted food all start once the bowl is left open between visits.

03

HAVN Node is built for grazers.

It opens for your pet, then seals when they leave — keeping food covered until they come back.

The category reset

Auto-feeders solve timing. HAVN Node solves exposure.

Most auto-feeders are built around schedules, portions and timers. HAVN Node is different. It is made for pets who graze, walk away, come back later, or leave food sitting open between visits.

Dispense food on a schedule.
Opens when your pet approaches.
Food can still sit exposed after dispensing.
Seals food between visits.
Focus on portion timing.
Focuses on freshness, smell and exposure.
