Sure Petcare -SureFlap – SureFeed – Microchip Pet Feeder – Selective-Automatic Pet Feeder Makes Meal Times Stress-Free, Suitable for Both Wet and Dry Food – MPF001

I love these. Genius idea for multi-cat owners. Solved all of my feeding problems.
My full review after a month! :So I have two cats that need two different diets. One cat that is a food stealer and one very timid girl. Timid cat was eating food stealer’s prescription food but it made her turn into a chonk. So we needed a solution that would give timid cat her own private bowl that food stealer couldn’t get to, and her own food for weight management. I couldn’t just give timid cat her own kind of food because food stealer would steal it all and food stealer wouldn’t eat her prescription food, which she needs.So I asked the vet how to help a cat lose weight, he suggested scheduled feeding. I researched online how other people have handled scheduled feeding, and soooooo many people suggested SureFeed feeders as the holy grail of solutions. I was a bit intimidated by the price initially (worth every penny). But I saw it as how I see humans, if I can avoid a problem from getting worse, it’ll save me money in the long run. I had spent over $1,000 on food stealer’s GI diagnosis already and timid cat was probably on her way to pre-diabetic if I didn’t do something. So after a few trial and error with feeding them in separate rooms, the absolute hassle and refusal from the cats to make that work.. I said okay, these feeders are beyond worth paying for to try out.And I am so glad that I did. For me, so far, they are the holy grail. Every problem I was having with food stealer and timid, have been fully resolved with the feeders. They each eat their own meal plan, in their own bowl, and they can’t mix. Timid has lost weight already with her weight management food, and stealer is happily eating her GI food. Timid, who is also a grazer, can graze on her own time (Later I will include how timid got used to the feeder itself, because she is..well..timid; I used the collar tag for training!) without stealer eating the wrong food. And timid has gotten much more comfortable knowing that stealer can’t bother her feeder.Setup:Setup was easy. Unbox, place where you want it, the large button opens the feeder, add food, click the +pet button to have the feeder detect your pet’s microchip. It detects it really easily within a few seconds. You can reprogram that anytime, I did for timid’s collar tag. You just hold down the +pet button for 10 seconds, then add the new one. I accidentally put the feeder in training mode not knowing what that button (or training mode) was and had to turn the feeder off and back on and read the directions. If you hit the training mode button and think you broke something….you didn’t! Lol. It’s probably training mode and you need to read the directions. My cats didn’t need the back protector, stealer is thankfully happy using her own feeder. But you could easily use a box (like other people) or put it up against a wall/corner with something to block a side.Adapting to the feeder/how they handled it:I put food in each feeder, and sat them near their old bowls. I used timid cat’s original food to start, so she had some familiarity at first. BEFORE letting timid cat in the room, I had stealer in the room alone to show her the feeder and how it opens. She is a glutton so as long as she knows food is in there and she just has to walk up to it for it to give her that food she is good to go. Next was introducing timid. I took stealer out of the room. I opened the feeder for timid and let her sniff. She knew the food was there but didn’t want to walk up to it, so I took the food out and sat it in front of the feeder. She ate from it like that for a few days but we needed her to eat from the feeder. Now we have a third cat with food downstairs, and I didn’t want timid to get desperate and go eat from that bowl. She needed to learn her own. So we kept timid in HER room for a week to ensure she would get used to her own bowl (letting her out only when supervised). During that week I gradually put the bowl in the feeder more, but left the flap open. Then mid way through the week I closed it. Per the vet, if she is hungry enough, she will use it. And she did. After a day and a half of only drinking water, her instincts kicked in and she opened it herself for the first time (she knew how it worked the whole time, she just didn’t like the “opening sound”) and over the rest of the week she opened it herself more, and more, and more times. It’s been a month now, and she uses it completely normally. Another tip that worked SO well for getting a timid cat used to the feeder was using the included microchip collar tag. At first timid cat didn’t like getting too close, but her microchip in her back made it to where she needed to get pretty under there for the flap to open. So I thought “the tag is closer to her face and would open it sooner”. So during training I used the collar tag so it wouldn’t open right in her face startling her, it opened sooner before she was really close to it and opened gradually as she walked up to it.Shipping:-Ordered 2 of the first gen (the one without the app) because I didn’t want the app. Just wanted to keep things simple so I got the regular feeders. They arrived together, on time, and were the correct items.-Included with the feeder: a microchip tag, 2 bowls, a mat, offer for 3 year warranty, and instructions.-Size of feeder: per the box diagram 200mm height x 320mm length. Bowl is 400ml.

Amazing product, works like a charm.
We have three cats at home and all three have a different prescription food. It used to be a daily battle keeping them from eating each others food.These feeders work like a charm, we bought three. I know the price is a little steep and I was reluctant to spend that much money, but we were out of options. I wish we bought them sooner.Set-up is super easy and it was simple to program each feeder to the appropriate cat. The feeders have a training mode that we used for a couple of days, and now all three cats have no problem using them.I am so grateful to have found this product. If you are thinking about buying this, I 100% recommend it.

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.

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。

Ho acquistato il prodotto un mese e mezzo fa. Avendo due gatti con esigenze alimentari diverse è stata una soluzione perfetta. Il mio gatto ha il microchip e l’installazione è stata semplicissima ma nella confezione c’è una medaglietta che può essere applicata ad un eventuale collare per gatti senza microchip. Ero titubante perché il mio gatto è estremamente fobico, non ama le novità quindi ci è voluta qualche settimana per abituarlo ma se sono riuscita con lui ci può riuscire chiunque. Il prodotto permette di utilizzare il programma di addestramento per abituare il gatto alla chiusura/apertura gradualmente (cinque stelle piene solo per questo). Non è dotato di filo o batteria ricaricabile, lo si può utilizzare solo con le apposite batterie, il che consente di posizionarlo ovunque senza fili in giro e senza il problema che col tempo la batteria perda di prestazioni. Bisogna giusto avere un po’ di delicatezza nel pulirlo perché la chiusura è in plastica leggera. Se in casa ci sono gatti invadenti sarà necessario acquistare separatamente la cupola che consente di mantenere coperti i lati quando il gatto sta mangiando e altri gatti gli girano intorno potendosi infilare lateralmente. La acquisterò separatamente sul sito del produttore. Per me prodotto super approvato!
