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!!

These feeders are first class. We have three cats and one is a wheelie bin covered in fur, so the moment the other two are out of sight, he hoovers up any remaining food. Suffice to say that short of sitting guard over the cat food bowls day and night (and I kid myself that I have a bit of a life), it meant that Bert's belly was getting bigger and bigger and the other two cats were a bit woebegone, even though they didn't seem to be losing weight. The decider came when we had to medicate one of the cats, while keeping the others away from the medicine. The feeders solved this problem perfectly. We now have three cats who occasionally stick their heads under the arches other their comrades, just in case they get lucky (which clearly never happens), who are getting the correct amount of food and the right cat is getting the medication it needs with no risk to the others. Whomever designed this feeder did a brilliant job. The clear plastic screens at the sides allow your cat to see what's going on, while stopping other cats stealing their food by diving in from the side. The cover folds up at the back of the feeder, providing a protective but transparent screen in that direction. The training mode works well for even the most nervous cat to gradually get used to using the feeder and become familiar with the noise it makes. While the feeders aren't cheap, the reduction in stress for the humans in this household has been worth every penny, and I suspect the cats would say that same if they could. They each know that their siblings can't steal their food, and as a bonus, flies can't get to the wet food either, so it stays fresh and tasty much longer than otherwise.

This feeder is the best of the best as far as I’m concerned n I can’t believe I haven’t already got one I could of done with one of these years ago, this is gonna stop my dogs pinching the cat food plus if your cat is on medication you just put it n his/her bowl and as long as you have set it up right then only the cat that is on meds can open it n if another cat comes along it just shuts down!! How cool is that!! I’ve just ordered a second one as it’s so great I need 6 n total but have too wait abit before I can order the 4th one!! It maybe abit pricey but believe me it’s worth every penny! 😎👍 Up-date: These feeders are great and simple too set up!! You simply press the button on the back with a cat picture on it then the flap will open!! Just put some food or treats to tempted the cat in n once he’s gone n and picked up the treat up is all done the flap will close and the cat will be programmed too that feeder!! It’s has a intruder function so if another cat comes along too eat while the other cat is eating it shuts down until the intruder has gone!! However this is not in the Instructions so I’ve Up-loaded a photo of how too set it on intruder mode!! It just stops all the hassle of cats pinching other cats food. I need another 3 as I’m getting my dogs one!! This is not realy recommend for dogs but I have the smallest dog n the word the Chihuahua and it also works great with them!! 😎👍 I’ve found over time if you have more then 1 cat even with the Intruder mode on the cats can avoid this by going around the back of the feeder, I’ve looked around too see if there’s a case that would clip on the back too stop this I’ve got 5 feeders and it’s stopped the hassle at there feeding time but now it’s created another problem for me I gotta keep an eye open so I can stop them from going around the back n pulling them out!! It’s just a minor problem I still think & still recommend these feeders!! 😎👍

I've used two of these for about 8 months and they work great. While I could feed the cats in a place where the dogs couldn't reach, I needed these to feed my two cats different diets and to keep out the greedy third cat who eats all available food immediately. My cats eat in small doses throughout the day. As a bonus, this feeder keeps the dogs out so I can put the feeders in a more convenient location. My old cats have old chips that don't work with these feeders so I simply used the included tag on a collar and that works well. I changed my feeders to close as quickly as possible by moving the switch on the bottom to position 1. Keeps the others from grabbing a quick snack after one of the cats leaves. This switch appears to change the delay between when the cat removes its head from the feeder hoop until the cover closes. That hoop appears to have sensors so it can tell when the cat has its head over the food dish. The cover only opens when a correct tag/chip is detected and a cat puts its head through that hoop to get to the food. I have now changed batteries once on both feeders. They lasted a bit more than 6 months despite frequent opening and closing. One of my cats is a fussy eater who is underweight so I open the feeder frequently to re-arrange his wet food and try to convince him to eat more. As expected the batteries for his feeder needed changing a few weeks before the other feeder. Four alkaline C cells per feeder. Although I would prefer to reduce my use of batteries, the feeder does not support an AC adapter. I had one problem but an easy solution. I found that cat sitters sometimes tapped the wrong button to open the feeders to add more food, or to try to correct the incorrect operation of the feeder after they tapped an incorrect button. If they tapped the training button then the feeder stayed partly open which sometimes allowed the wrong cat to get a snack. Last time I was away my cat sitter tapped the buttons to program a new tag, and the result was that both of my cats gained access to both feeders. Took me a day after I got home to figure this out but it was easily remedied. I have now made a cover from a plastic container lid and taped it so that it hangs over those two buttons to prevent accidental activation. I had not had that problem myself because the button to open the feeder is larger, but the three buttons are side by side so a bit of care is required to not tap the wrong one. The feeder wipes clean with a damp cloth. A soft brush (toothbrush) helps get into a few places. If you want to more closely manage which cat(s) eat what food, either to manage how much they eat, or what food they eat, or if you want to lock out other pets from eating the cat food, this is a great solution. One feeder can be be programmed to respond to numerous tags/chips if desired.

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.

minha gatinha adaptou muito bem e resolveu nosso problema de deixar ração disponível para gatos que tem alimentação diferente!
