What really make this feeder stand out is the curved rectangular opening positioned in front of the bowl. This is the important bit, as it has four scanners embedded within. When it detects a registered pet’s microchip, the doors will slide open. If your name’s not down, you’re not coming in.

There’s no time-limit to this; you just graduate your pet to the next stage when it’s ready with a press of the button. The app also features a setting whereby you can set the speed at which the cover slides, speeding it up or slowing it down as you deem appropropriate, meaning your pets should eventually grow accustomed to how it all works. 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.There are a few problems with the SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect. The first and most important is that sensitive cats and dogs will struggle with the sudden movement of the lid. Although this feeder is excellent for most cats and small dogs around 10 to 15 pounds, it can't be used with larger pets. While there are a number of high-quality automatic pet feeders on the market, this is one of the few that allows you to program access for particular pets while keeping others away. And while I was initially intimidated by the hoops I had to jump through to set the thing up, in the end it took less than 15 minutes to get the hub, feeder, and app functioning. The cons

Used with the Sure Petcare app, you can also view reports of your cat’s drinking behaviours, noticing changes that might require further investigation. What’s more, you can use your existing Sure Petcare hub if you have a SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap Connect, Microchip Pet Door Connect or SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect. This will give you a complete picture of your cat’s wellbeing with valuable data that is unique to them, noticing changes far earlier than before. Only permits access to a registered pet’s microchip or RFID collar tag to prevent other pets from stealing food. They also ask for other information about you like how likely you are to recommend the company to other people and information about your pet. Those things are true, but if you're of a technological or have an investigative mindset they might not quite be enough. Sure's high-tech feeder is an upgrade in almost every way over whatever you're using today, and there's a lot about it which will be useful whether your pet is on a specific diet, fighting to eat under the paw of greedy housemates, or if you're just seeking more information on the frequency and amount of your pet's eating habits. The non-connected version of the Microchip Pet Feeder scored highly in our guide to the best pet feeders– let's find out how the networked version fares.If you notice an orange light, then that means you’re using the training mode. This mode is to help your cat learn how to use the microfeeder safely. Since cats are naturally skittish of things that move, they may require some help in warming up to the feeder. That’s where the training mode can help. 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: Access is controlled by the microchip so the lid only opens for the cat with the registered microchip. This can be particularly helpful when giving specialist food to one pet or when trying to help a pet lose weight. Data on the feeding behaviour of your cat can be found on the app on your smartphone. That way, you can always keep an eye on your pet’s food consumption and can spot changes early on. Those who have multiple pets also receive advice on how to train them.

Feeding behavior is a key indicator of health for pets with a loss of appetite or change in feeding habits often being one of the first signs of illness. The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect records the time and weight of food consumed by a pet each time they eat from the feeder, reporting it directly to the Sure Petcare app. Over time, this enables pet owners to build a comprehensive understanding of their pet’s unique feeding patterns, making it easier for them to spot changes in their pet’s health and well-being earlier than they may otherwise have been able to do so.
