If the registered cat is pushed out of the way, the doors will immediately close.Īlthough it’s not “smart” in the way that you can gather tracking information from the feeder, it does allow and restrict access to specific pets. Both the feeding and sensor area is small and fits only one pet at a time. One of its greatest features is its one-pet feeding trough. While you can program the feeder for up to 8 tags, it’s also a great option to keep medicated food specifically for the prescribed cat that requires a special, expensive diet. You won’t have to refill the hopper for several days depending on how many pets are registered for the feeder. You can also schedule when their food can be accessible by the registered cat or cats.īecause of its design, you can load up the hopper to hold approximately 5 lbs of dry food. The lid will open and will stay open for a set time before it closes and locks the cat out. You can set specific collars with individual timings which means the collar reader will detect which pet is at the bowl. How it regulates food is based on preset timings. You can’t dispense individual food portions with this feeder because it does not have built-in scales. What’s great about its design is that it allows you to provide individual timings for multiple cats, so it’s a true multi-cat feeder. This automatic pet feeder comes with two wireless collar tags that can be programmed with the feeder. The Wireless Whiskers is a collar-sensor pet feeder for pets up to 18” tall – perfectly suited to small dogs and cats. They’re also removeable for hand washing but cannot be used in the microwave or dishwasher. This allows you to use both dry and wet food. The bowls have a neoprene lip that allows for airtight storage when the lid closes. It comes with a 400 ml bowl or two half bowls that provides enough food for a daily feed for a single cat. While you can add multiple RFID numbers to the feeder, it’s really designed for one pet.

If you don’t have a chipped kitty or a tag, the feeder comes with a collar in the package. The SureFeed pet feeder is compatible with both microchipped cats and RFID collars. It has the microchip and collar reader technology you need to provide food access to the designated cat and restrictions on pets that should stick to their own bowls. This SureFeed Automatic Pet Feeder is the basic alternative to the Connect version. You can adjust the time of how fast or slow the lid closes after the registered cat leaves the bowl to keep other furry intruders out. While a rear hood cover is available as a separate purchase to keep other pets out of the bowl while the registered cat is eating, the automatic lid only responds to the registered cat. You can use the app to set a specific portion control amount then fill the bowls where LED indicator lights alert you when you’ve reached the right amount up to an accuracy of 1 gram. Because each side of the feeder has integrated, independent scales, you can also keep track of what they ate even when you use the split bowls to separate food types. With the app, you can track how much your cat has consumed from the portion you set out, when they ate, and how long they spent eating. It’s exceptionally expensive, but at least it comes with the device you need to enable a WiFi connection to sync the feeder to the Sure Petcare app on your phone. This Sure Petcare SureFeed pet feeder is one of the only microchip and collar-activated pet feeders in the market. What information can you acquire and share with your vet? Let’s find out.
