CROCI Candy is a 2-in-1 dispenser from the Italian brand CROCI that works as a gravity feeder for dry food or as a waterer. It has just two parts, a clear container and a bowl tray, so it assembles in seconds. Food or water flows into the bowl mechanically, under its own weight, as your pet eats or drinks. There's no portion control. The product name says 1.5 L, but the manufacturer's description states the container fills to a maximum of 0.6 L. It measures 18×26×25.5 cm and comes in blue and beige. It's made of BPA-free plastic and suits cats and small to medium dogs.
How a gravity dispenser works
The container sits neck-down on the bowl tray. As your pet eats or drinks, the level in the bowl drops and more flows in from the container. So there's always food or water in the bowl until the container is empty. No electronics or batteries means nothing to break. The clear walls show how much is left at a glance.

How much it holds
The name says 1.5 L, but the manufacturer specifies a maximum fill of 0.6 L. When planning time away, count on 0.6 L. As a waterer, that's roughly 2–3 days for one average-sized cat drinking normally. On how much water a cat needs, see how much water a cat should drink.
The pebble bowl
The bowl tray has a pebble shape: smooth inner edges with no pronounced bottom, glossy inside and matte outside. Thanks to this, food doesn't pile up at the edges and your pet can finish every bit. It's easy to wash, and the matte finish stays looking neat for longer.
As a feeder: who it suits
Free access to dry food isn't right for every pet. A cat or dog prone to overeating may empty the container in one go, so a gravity feeder isn't the best choice. For such pets, measure out the daily amount and watch their weight — more in overweight cats and dogs. If your pet eats too fast, consider the CROCI Slow Bowl.
As a waterer: care
In waterer mode, the water in the bowl is open, so fur, dust and crumbs get in. Change the water daily even if some remains in the container. Every few days, wash the container and bowl in warm water — the plastic doesn't absorb odours, so it's easy to keep clean. Don't switch the same dispenser between food and water without thorough washing and drying.
Compared with similar models
The Ferplast Azimut 600 ml works on the same principle. If you just need water on hand and aren't going away, ordinary bowls are fine — see dog and cat bowls: how to choose.
Who it suits
Owners of cats and small to medium dogs who are away for long stretches and want their pet to always have water or dry food. More models are in the cat bowls and dog bowls and feeders sections.
Verdict
The CROCI Candy is a simple 2-in-1 gravity dispenser for food or water: two parts, a clear container, a handy pebble bowl and BPA-free plastic. It suits cats and small dogs that don't overeat. The downsides are that the container really holds 0.6 L, not the 1.5 L in the name, and there's no portion control.
