Sure Petcare SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder with Sealed Lid, RFID Collar Tags Compatible, Works for Wet and Dry Food, White, 4 x C Cell Batteries Required, Not Included

This is a wonderful device that works perfectly and is very hard to find fault with. I bought it because my elderly cat was having his food stolen by a neighbour's cat and this exceeded all my expectations. It appears to have been improved too, as earlier reviews mention a noisy motor, which can scare cats, but mine is virtually silent. Some reviews also mention how cats can steal food from the side when it is open. But mine has clear plastic screens which help prevent this. Not only does this ensure my cat has the food he wants and the medication he needs, but, because he used to wake me up when there was no food available in the middle of the night, it means I get to sleep better too! It also provides mental stimulation as the cat learns to use it. It did take my cat a little while to get used to it but a cat's natural curiosity helps and it is well worth persevering. It has a training mode which also helps, but my top tip is to put some treats on the front tray. When the cat eats the treats, the main compartment opens and the cat gets a nice surprise that food becomes available! I also recommend setting the switch on the bottom to the slowest closing setting at first. This ensures it stays open for at least 20-30 seconds after the cat moves away so it stays open if the cat picks up some food to eat on the floor, as mine often does, or it just backs away temporarily to gain confidence. But after a while, the natural caution subsides and the cat is happy to use it. I'm summary, I can't recommend it enough. It is fairly compact, feels well constructed and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I only have one cat but I can imagine it is great for multi cat households where one cat needs special food or medicine. Perfect!!

We purchased two of these cat feeders to solve a specific problem, which it solved and unexpectedly, it also solved two other problems. We took on a rescue cat, with her kitten from the Cats Protection League in 2012. We knew we might have a few issues with a neglected & ill-treated cat, but we were not expecting the cat to eat all of her food and then eating all her kitten’s food. We had to intervene and very quickly got to the stage where the kitten would be fed in the kitchen, then when she had enough to eat, the mother would be fed. The mother will then eat her own food and what was left of the kitten’s food. As the kitten matured, we would warn off the mother from her daughter's food (a hard stare worked) and we managed to arrive at a point where the kitten got enough food, but the mother was getting too fat. The vet did not view this as a problem, but health problems would be coming if we did not act soon. The mother was too fat to clean her own back and we had to brush her, so action was required before health conditions from over-eating arrived. We moved house, where we had fields at the back of our house and this led to many flies landing on the cat food, which was clearly not good. The wet food would also dry out and would become inedible. We got these cat feeders from Amazon and used the two sided bowls, one for dry food, the other side for wet. We spent about 3 weeks training the cats with the training modes within the cat feeder, which made progress easy, but steady. This was all worth it, the food is covered and the flies cannot get to it, but more importantly, the mother cat only gets her share, she is losing weight and her daughter no longer has to eat all her food at once, or face the reality of losing most of it. The cats are now relaxed as the feeder lids open and they eat their food happily. The wet food is fresher and you can see that it retains moisture throughout the day, as condensation forms on the inside of the lid, which the food fresher most of the day. This has been a very effective device to keep our cats healthy & happy. It is battery operated, so it can be sited anywhere in the home. Setting up was easy, the instructions were easy to follow and helped a great deal. We knew that taking on an ill-treated cat would come with issues (photographs after her rescue show a very skinny & scared cat), her over-eating is clearly the result of cruelty and not a reflection of her true self. Things have progressed well, she can now clean her own back. Incidentally, it took two years with us before she would purr, so the neglect and ill-treatment cast a long shadow for her and this feeder is putting to rest the last vestiges of that long shadow.

I have two cats, with different dietary requirements, and whilst these are quite expensive, it does mean that the medications and food that each cat needs doesn’t get eaten by the other. I’ve had it for months now and haven’t had to change the battery once. Being able to swap the trays around makes it so much easier to get them completely clean in the dishwasher each time. Took a little bit of time to get one of my cats used to it, but now they both are very comfortable. This will be a godsend in the summer when there could be a problem with flies as the food is completely covered (my cats have both wet and dry). I know that their food is not being contaminated.

Absolutely fab, cat linked to it straight away. no issues from her Only thing is it zaps through the batteries in about 3 weeks, and the batteries you have to buy aren't the cheapest, something to keep in mind! Aside from this, fabulous, easy to set up. Sturdy. Easy to clean. Really glad I took the chance and bought this despite being anxious at cats reaction. :) she got used to it on the first day. Positive reinforcement with treats helped.

Was working fine until now. It’s been 3 months I bought it and now the feeder opens when my other cat presents its face only without any tag around her net. I am back with the same problem with the one cat eating all the food and the other is a slow eater. Very disappointing for that price.

Très bon produit. Fonctionne avec la puce des chats. Nous avons 2 chats avec des régimes différents, cela permet de bien Individualiser le régime de chacun. Très simple a mettre en œuvre, à nettoyer. Vraiment un super produit!

猫2頭飼いです。メタボ雄猫のダイエット用に購入しました。雌猫のご飯を奪ってしまいドンドン太っていき困っていましたが、 シェアーフィーダーを雌猫に使用したところ、メタボ猫が雌猫の餌を奪えなくなったので、食事調整ができてこの一ヶ月で体重が8.76kg→8.435kg に減量できました。目標は1年後6kg 台なので、期待できます。 お値段は高いと思いましたが、メタボ猫の成人病ならぬ成猫病のオンパレードになってしまい（現在内蔵脂肪、気道狭窄で喘息、関節炎、膀胱結石）こちらの症状改善が期待できるので、改善できるのでしたらありがたい品です。

“Aggiornamento dopo 2 mesi di utilizzo: il distributore funziona benissimo, l’unica pecca è che la ciotola interna, essendo di plastica si impregna dell’odore del cibo e a distanza di due mesi inizia a puzzare. Meglio in acciaio.” Ottimo distributore di cibo, perfetto per chi deve tener sotto controllo l’alimentazione o semplicemente evitare che più gatti si rubino il cibo a vicenda. Dispone anche di una modalità “addestramento” per i gatti più paurosi. La mia gatta ha imparato subito ad usarlo, già dalla memorizzazione del microchip. È semplice da usare e facile da pulire. L’unico problemino, come già specificato da altri acquirenti, è la chiusura del coperchio che anche se dispone di tre velocità non è immediato nella chiusura. Se un gatto è molto furbo può infilarsi subito dietro e mangiare. Al momento questo problema non mi riguarda, in quanto gli altri hanno paura dello sportello che si apre e chiude, e la gatta registrata non si allontana mai come finisce di mangiare, dando cosiddetto il tempo al coperchio di chiudersi prima che gli altri provino ad avvicinarsi. Come valutazione complessiva do comunque 5 stelle perché le merita, e quando tornerà in offerta provvederò ad acquistarlo anche per gli altri due gatti.

Si, son caros. Pero si estás mirando uno de estos, es porque tienes un problema que solucionar. En mi caso tengo dos, uno para cada gato y funcionan de maravilla. La gata tiene sobrepeso y le racionamos la comida (porque ella no lo hace), y gracias a estos comederos ya no puede comerse la comida del otro y hemos conseguido que baje de peso. Las pilas son un poco raras en el sentido que no las encuentras en supermercados, pero en ferreterias o aquí mismo en Amazon sin problemas, y duran muchísimo (6 meses o así) Los tenemos ya un par de años y muy contentos.
