The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder only opens for a registered pet’s veterinary implanted microchip or RFID collar tag to prevent pets stealing each others’ food. One collar tag is supplied with the product. This feeder is ideal for multi-pet households to prevent greedy pets becoming overweight and to ensure prescription or life-stage food is consumed by the right pet. The lid of the feeder closes onto a sealed bowl, which keeps food fresher. One single grey bowl, one split grey bowl and one grey mat is included – additional bowls and mats in grey, green, pink and blue can be purchased separately. Stainless steel bowls are also available. The training mode closes the lid in stages to help timid pets get used to the movement. The product includes a three-year warranty.

Do you have a houseful of pets? Does one cat steal the other’s cat food? Does your dog steal the cat’s food? Stressful Feeding times? The Microchip Pet Feeder makes feeding times so much easier! It uses the pet’s Microchip ID or by wearing a lightweight RFID collar tag to communicate with the feeder to open for that specific pet. All feeders come standard with one tag (unit stores 32 ID’s); additional collar tags can be purchased separately if necessary. Ideally one feeder per pet.

Amazon Customer –
I love these. Genius idea for multi-cat owners. Solved all of my feeding problems.
My full review after a month! :So I have two cats that need two different diets. One cat that is a food stealer and one very timid girl. Timid cat was eating food stealer’s prescription food but it made her turn into a chonk. So we needed a solution that would give timid cat her own private bowl that food stealer couldn’t get to, and her own food for weight management. I couldn’t just give timid cat her own kind of food because food stealer would steal it all and food stealer wouldn’t eat her prescription food, which she needs.So I asked the vet how to help a cat lose weight, he suggested scheduled feeding. I researched online how other people have handled scheduled feeding, and soooooo many people suggested SureFeed feeders as the holy grail of solutions. I was a bit intimidated by the price initially (worth every penny). But I saw it as how I see humans, if I can avoid a problem from getting worse, it’ll save me money in the long run. I had spent over $1,000 on food stealer’s GI diagnosis already and timid cat was probably on her way to pre-diabetic if I didn’t do something. So after a few trial and error with feeding them in separate rooms, the absolute hassle and refusal from the cats to make that work.. I said okay, these feeders are beyond worth paying for to try out.And I am so glad that I did. For me, so far, they are the holy grail. Every problem I was having with food stealer and timid, have been fully resolved with the feeders. They each eat their own meal plan, in their own bowl, and they can’t mix. Timid has lost weight already with her weight management food, and stealer is happily eating her GI food. Timid, who is also a grazer, can graze on her own time (Later I will include how timid got used to the feeder itself, because she is..well..timid; I used the collar tag for training!) without stealer eating the wrong food. And timid has gotten much more comfortable knowing that stealer can’t bother her feeder.Setup:Setup was easy. Unbox, place where you want it, the large button opens the feeder, add food, click the +pet button to have the feeder detect your pet’s microchip. It detects it really easily within a few seconds. You can reprogram that anytime, I did for timid’s collar tag. You just hold down the +pet button for 10 seconds, then add the new one. I accidentally put the feeder in training mode not knowing what that button (or training mode) was and had to turn the feeder off and back on and read the directions. If you hit the training mode button and think you broke something….you didn’t! Lol. It’s probably training mode and you need to read the directions. My cats didn’t need the back protector, stealer is thankfully happy using her own feeder. But you could easily use a box (like other people) or put it up against a wall/corner with something to block a side.Adapting to the feeder/how they handled it:I put food in each feeder, and sat them near their old bowls. I used timid cat’s original food to start, so she had some familiarity at first. BEFORE letting timid cat in the room, I had stealer in the room alone to show her the feeder and how it opens. She is a glutton so as long as she knows food is in there and she just has to walk up to it for it to give her that food she is good to go. Next was introducing timid. I took stealer out of the room. I opened the feeder for timid and let her sniff. She knew the food was there but didn’t want to walk up to it, so I took the food out and sat it in front of the feeder. She ate from it like that for a few days but we needed her to eat from the feeder. Now we have a third cat with food downstairs, and I didn’t want timid to get desperate and go eat from that bowl. She needed to learn her own. So we kept timid in HER room for a week to ensure she would get used to her own bowl (letting her out only when supervised). During that week I gradually put the bowl in the feeder more, but left the flap open. Then mid way through the week I closed it. Per the vet, if she is hungry enough, she will use it. And she did. After a day and a half of only drinking water, her instincts kicked in and she opened it herself for the first time (she knew how it worked the whole time, she just didn’t like the “opening sound”) and over the rest of the week she opened it herself more, and more, and more times. It’s been a month now, and she uses it completely normally. Another tip that worked SO well for getting a timid cat used to the feeder was using the included microchip collar tag. At first timid cat didn’t like getting too close, but her microchip in her back made it to where she needed to get pretty under there for the flap to open. So I thought “the tag is closer to her face and would open it sooner”. So during training I used the collar tag so it wouldn’t open right in her face startling her, it opened sooner before she was really close to it and opened gradually as she walked up to it.Shipping:-Ordered 2 of the first gen (the one without the app) because I didn’t want the app. Just wanted to keep things simple so I got the regular feeders. They arrived together, on time, and were the correct items.-Included with the feeder: a microchip tag, 2 bowls, a mat, offer for 3 year warranty, and instructions.-Size of feeder: per the box diagram 200mm height x 320mm length. Bowl is 400ml.

Couldn’t live without it now – allows my cats to have their own special diets prevents food stealing
Perfect to separate cats’ food. It prevents fat cats from taking others’ food. It allows me to know how much and exactly what each cat has eaten. The cats learned to use these fairly easily. One cat took awhile longer to learn. My only suggestion is to please make a glass dish – the plastic collects odors from food no matter how much you clean it and I have to use plastic forks so I don’t scratch the plastic. Plastic isn’t healthy to eat out of and can also give cats “kitty acne” (told this by a vet)I had suggested on another review to have an AC electrical cord with battery backup, but that would be unsafe for cats to use when some of them may be clawing at the thing.Given how useful these are for the typical common issues requiring separate feeding, I am amazed no one seems to have heard of them! Please advertise to vets and shelters and pet stores so people will know about it and buy it so you don’t go out of business. When these wear out, I want to be able to buy new ones! I wouldn’t want to have to go back to feeding out of regular dishes.Update – 3 months into using three of these for three cats and they work beautifully. If anyone has a problem with an aggressive cat jumping in to eat after shoving another cat aside, they have a way around that. Just call them and ask how.Update – 10 months – These are a life saver, literally. One of my cats had grown obese by overeating the other cat’s food. A vet had told me he’d wind up dying young from health problems if he stayed fat. Using these dishes has kept him from eating more than his share of food and his weight is now much more healthy. My elderly cat who was having all her food stolen is now able to nibble her own food at intervals throughout the day and I can put the foods that are better for her in there and keep him out of it. The batteries still worked 6 months in but I changed them anyway, just to be sure.TIP – The food stealer had figured out how to stick a paw in through the side when the programmed cat was in there eating. To solve that I simply shove the feeder into the plastic liner of an old 24-can lunch bag you can get at walmart, It’s white, looks fine, easily cleaned and easy to shove the feeder into. It’s in there just tight enough to be tough for the other cat to pull it out. I need something to put under the front of the dish so it isn’t tipping when she stands on the mat. Simple easy solution. I also set the speed switch on the back to I, which makes it close faster after she steps away.

Great for pets with different food needs
We have two cats, and one is allergic to poultry and needs to be on very expensive hydrolyzed food. These feeders are a great solution to keeping our cat allergy-free while allowing us to feed our other cat her usual (and much less expensive!) food. It has also prevented them from stealing each other’s food, which had previously been happening at every meal and required constant supervision.The feeders work wonderfully. The machine is quiet enough that even our timid cat adjusted remarkably well to opening the flap.Definitely recommend for peace of mind at feeding times!

This great feeder has made life rather easier. I’m super happy we bought it.We bought it so Cat A (big urgent appetite) could not raid the food of Cat B (slow grazer). This was especially important as Cat B is diabetic so we need to know what he is actually eating. The feeder has turned out to be an excellent choice. Cat B learned very quickly how to open it and Cat A has given up trying to get to the food. It also prevents our new puppy from nibbling cat food.It was expensive but, spread over the years, it is effective enough to be well worth the price. Various vet friends have been impressed that this feeder works so well for both wet and dried food. It comes with two food dishes so you can clean one while the cat eats from the other. It is very easy to wipe clean. And the batteries (no cord) last many months.One note: The feeder arrives with a microchip tag for the cat’s collar but no need to use that if your cat is microchipped; the feeder reads the one implanted in the cat very well.Update (Oct 2024): I still love this cat feeder but am very disappointed that it malfunctioned in August 2023, just over one year after we bought it. The plastic door that opens and closes to cover the food no longer closed, which defeated the whole purpose of the feeder. I took it to an electronics repair cafe yesterday and they/we took it apart very carefully, to find that the problem lies in the circuit board, not in anything mechanical that can be fixed. A device costing nearly $300 should not fail after one year.

La détection de puce marche parfaitement. Le maintient de la nourriture à l’abri de l’air est un plus pour la conservation. L’appareil est très bien désigné, se transporte partout facilement. Très bon produit.
