This is SUCH a great product and surprisingly nothing like it on the market. It keeps my cats food fresh and stops odours around the house from it. The customer service has also been astounding.

My pet peeve has always been the smell of wet cat food so the HAVN Node is a game changer. My cat purrs while eating from it as it doesn't dry out anymore, and I don't have to smell it.
★★★★★
I have been wasting so much wet food as my 3 furkids graze all day, so whatever they walk away from gets binned. This is a game changer. All 3 started using it within 30 minutes.
★★★★★
I was unsure because I thought my cat might be spooked by it, but it's fantastic. The quiet action doesn't startle him at all, and the bowl depth accommodates his whiskers, which other bowls don't.
★★★★★
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 when my cat approaches and closes when he leaves.
★★★★★
We've been using it with our 6 year old blue heeler, Spirit. She can take all day to eat, so it's great knowing her food stays covered. Quiet, durable, and she used it immediately.
Seven owners mention buying or wanting a second one. "I would love to be able to buy extra bowls so I can have one being washed and another with food." Multi-pet homes and grazers tend to end up with a second Node.
See pack pricingAFTER THEY WALK AWAY
Your pet's food should not sit exposed for hours.
Ordinary bowls leave wet food open to the room long after mealtime is over.
That is the gap HAVN Node was built for.

What an open bowl costs you
Stop throwing pet food money in the bin.
Left in an open bowl, wet food dries out, turns and gets refused. Covered between visits it stays worth eating, so the food you paid for actually gets eaten.
- It sits out The moment it is served, wet food starts drying and the smell starts spreading.
- It turns It dries out, crusts over and stops being something your pet wants to eat.
- It gets binned They walk away from it. You scrape a full bowl of food you paid for into the rubbish.
The cost of an open bowl
$6
of food goes in the bin when it is left sitting out. That is $300 a year you are scraping into the rubbish.
Our customers put it better than we can.
"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. I haven’t thrown any biscuits out since this arrived — instead, finding his bowl empty."
Ammie, 4 Jul

Different job. Different bowl.
Not an auto-feeder.
Auto-feeders control when food comes out. HAVN Node protects food after your pet walks away.
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.

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?
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.
