SureFeed Microchip Small Dog & Cat Feeder, White

This was the best investment I have ever done for my dogs! I have three shitzus and one of them kept eating her food plus the food of her 2 other sisters. She was getting obese. It is not healthy for them to be fat. I purchased three of these feeders and each one has her own bowl now and it works like a champ. Now the other one cant eat her sisters food and vice versa. Super easy to set up the RFID tag that comes with it. They learned to eat out the feeder in less than 1 minute. I placed their favorite treat and that is all it took. Will be getting them microchip later on, but for now the RFID tag works super good! Love, Love these feeders! Highly recommend investing in these.

We have a cat, Romeo, who is on prescription food and won’t stay out of the regular cat food. I decided after much consideration to try this feeder out. We used the microchip tag & a collar on Toby, our healthy cat. We let Toby watch the feeder open and close just using the collar to trigger the feeder lid for a minute or two until he didn’t seem skittish about the sound of the cover opening and closing, then filled the feeder with his food and put the collar back on Toby. He walked right up to it and barely flinched when the lid opened. He got it on the first try and even went back for seconds a bit later. Romeo is stealthy and hasn’t attempted to ‘break in’ to the feeder to steal Toby We have a cat, Romeo, who is on prescription food and won’t stay out of the regular cat food.

Romeo is stealthy and hasn’t attempted to ‘break in’ to the feeder to steal Toby’s food yet, but I suspect since it’s not easily attainable, he’ll give up quickly. So far, this is working like a charm. … more

It did take a while for us to get used to the noise and the movement, but once we did, it was like nothing. I see my brother, that needs to get rid of some weight, try getting into the my feeder, but he can't:):):). It has been interesting going through the whole process, after we finally figured out what it was:(. Our parents discovered it does take time and patience but the reward is worth it and we cats love it. Sometimes we open it up just to prove to ourselves it is still working, even when we don't intend to eat anything.

I have two of these. This bowl is so great! My kidney boys can be free fed their food, while my girl get measured meals of a high protein diet. I don't have to worry about any cat eating what they shouldn't! Without these bowls, I imagine I would spend a lot of time feeding the cats in separate rooms or watching them closely while they ate. I have had these bowls about 16 months and they still work perfect. Only thing I wish was different is I wish they came with stainless steel bowls instead of plastic. One of my kitties is prone to acne.

We own two young cats, one of which is an excessive overeater and extremely crafty at stealing food from anywhere - the pantry, the shopping bags I just brought in, his kitty sister's bowl, etc. For 2 years, we had to lock his sister in the bathroom to eat. When she was done, we'd have to stash the bowl away. She got to the point where she wanted to eat everytime we went anywhere near the bathroom and then she started finding creative ways to wake us all night long to feed her. We were at our wit's end and finally decided to spend the money and try this bowl. It's brilliant! She learned how to use it within a couple of days.

Finally, she's getting used to helping herself to food whenever she wants and she hasn't woken us up in more than a week. I couldn't recommend this feeder more if you have a tricky feeding situation. It's pricey but well worth it! … more

I had 3 cats on all different diet food, and this was the only way to keep them out of each other's food. If the cat is chipped, it's really easy to have the feeder read it off the cat. If the cat isn't chipped, you can use the medallion, but you'll want to attach it to the back of collar, because otherwise it gets in the food. If you have a cat that is good at wriggling out of the collar that can be problematic. I wish they designed a feeder for tall cats- my Ragdoll doesn't like ducking under the arch. My kitten has gotten very good at sneaking in beside the other cats because he's little. So another refinement is too restrict the width to keep sneaky little kitties out.

I purchased this unit to control the food stealing of one of my cats. I have a grazer who has adjusted to this perfectly as it keeps the other cat from stealing his food and overeating. It took about 3 weeks for my "grazer" cat to adjust to the noise and movement but now it works well for him. Plan to purchase another shortly. Love it so far and has solved a difficult feeding problem in my multiple cat household

I have a 14 YO cat, a 4 YO cat and a new puppy. Surprise - the pup wants to eat all the cat food! I tried this out of desperation but wasn’t confident that the older cat, who can be skittish, would be able to adapt. I followed the training instructions for both cats and amazingly both cats now eat from the feeder no problem and the pup cannot. I am thrilled that this works so well and recommend highly! Note: one cat has an implanted chip and one uses the tag that comes with it. Both work equally well. Thanks for a great and needed product!

Bowl is great. Had problems with the 1st one not working so I had to get a replacement. Customer Service is the best! Replaced the bowl quickly no hassle and everyone was wonderful. I got it from Chewy because I knew if anything went wrong they would fix it and they did. This is a great feeder and solved the problem we had with our 2 cats eating different diets. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE PRODUCT AND CHEWY - 100% THUMBS UP!!!

I have a cat that will eat everything he can find. I thought this would be a good way to keep him from eating my other cat's portion, but it's so loud that he hurries and bumps the other cat out of the way when he hears it open. He doesn't get to eat the food, but neither does the other cat. It only halfway does its job in my situation. I'm pretty disappointed in the volume of its mechanism moving. I expected better tech for the price.
