If you have several pets you will know that one pet stealing another’s food happens often. The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect ensures that each of your four-legged friends only has access to the food intended for them. The SureFeed Microchip Feeder Connect has integrated scales enable you to accurately portion your pet’s food, ideal for pets on specialist diets, prescription or weight management programmes. The Sure Petcare app allows you to set the food portions, with LED lights indicating when you have achieved the ideal portion weight. The cover over the feeding tray is designed to keep the food inside fresh and helps to retain the moisture in it. It keeps insects away from the food. To program the feeder to open the lid, you will have to use one button, which is very simple. You can even program it to open for the vet implanted microchip number of your cat, or by using a collar tag included with this model. Once you have done so, the lid will open when the cat approaches the feeder. The feeder can memorize 32 collar tag and microchip numbers. Do you have problems with intruder cats coming into your house? Do your pets steal each other’s food, or is one of them on a special diet? Or do you find that you waste wet food because it dries out and your pet won't eat it? This electronic chip cat feeder is ideal for homes with multiple cats because it is a selective feeder that will only allow the pet that is bearing a tag to open the bowl and eat. This tag is included with the feeder and can easily be attached to the collar of your cat. If you have a cat or a dog that loves to eat the food that is not meant for them, this selective feeder won’t allow them to get to the food and eat it. You can set the batter-powered timer to open the lid automatically up to 24 hours later. The single AA battery should last for around 1 year.

There is a huge difference between a microchip feeder and a regular automatic pet feeder. Namely, they solve different problems. While automatic pet feeders can only keep flies away and moisture in the meal, microchip units stop food stealing, regulate your pet’s feeding and can even create new eating habits for your pet. Ultimately, though, you get what you pay for, and the SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect is superbly designed. While it isn’t exactly a must-have, you may well end up wondering how you got by without it.

What There Is To Know About Chip Cat Feeders?

This microchip cat feeding station is designed for cats and features a clear hopper and a base with a feeding tray and a cover that goes over the tray. There is also a screen and buttons for programming that is situated between the hopper and the feeding tray. It can work with up to 8 pets and features an AC adapter and 2 wireless collar tags. In common with the other pet feeders in this range, the 90 Day Feeder allows you to record a voice message of up to 6 seconds which plays when the food is dispensed to let your pet know when their food is served. Sure Petcare offers a range of award-winning products which solve problems like these experienced by many cat owners, including the SureFlap® Microchip Cat Flap, the SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder, the Microchip Cat Flap, the Pet Door Connect and the Felaqua® Connect. The timer can also be programmed to serve a specified amount over a period of time (e.g., a total of 12 units daily, at regular intervals between 9am and 10pm). This is designed for pets with specific dietary requirements (for example diabetic cats), or if you want to regulate how much food your pet eats. In addition, you can manually serve an extra portion (or portions) at any time.

The food tray is easy to remove and dishwasher-safe too, which makes cleaning easy.The timer requires 4 x D type batteries, and these should last for between 6-12 months.

Automatic Pet Feeder Comparison

There maybe those of you who regard the SureFeed feeder as overkill, but it’s good if you have your pet on a calorie-controlled diet, or want to show your vet how your pets have been eating recently, given that meal-time enthusiasm is a good proxy for general health. You can see the times of day that they tend to graze: The hopper has a capacity of 5 pounds of dry food and greets your cat when it approaches the feeder and the lid over the feeding tray opens, allowing your cat to eat the food. The cat is welcomed by their name and the feeder ensures each one of your cats eats only the amount of food you program for them. That means that when a cat reaches the limit of food for that meal or that day, the cover will close over the feeding tray. It is a great way of limiting food intake and keeping feeding times and portions regular. The feeder also comes with 2 “volume reducers” which allow you to serve smaller portions (200ml), and an adaptor tray for square foil food containers. The bowl and trays are easy to take apart which makes cleaning very easy. Automated pet feeders aren't a replacement for you or a pet sitter. You should only really use one when being away from your pet at their routine mealtime is completely unavoidable. How long can I feed my pet with an automatic feeder? If so, you’ll know how much your pets love taking food from one another, and that’s where MiBowl ® is the perfect pet food companion!
