In short, the SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect does exactly what it promises. It’s an easy way to keep an eye on your pets’ diets, ensure they don’t steal each others’ food, and provides a means by which you can control portion sizes.

The SureFeed Connect isn't perfect, but it's an innovative device that makes feeding cats and small dogs who require special diets or who struggle to get their share of food stress-free.It is ideal for keeping one or more pets from stealing the food of another. While the folding lid alarmed my cat at first, once he got used to it he was able to eat whenever he wanted without losing a bite to my other cat. The theory of the Microchip Pet Feeder Connect is sound, but in practice there are a few awkward niggles to work through. The positioning of that halo means pouring dry food directly into the bowl is almost impossible; you'll either need to scoop it or pull out the bowl to fill it, the latter option of which doesn't make an awful lot of sense if you're trying to use the built in scales.

What is included: SureFlap Hub, ethernet cable, USB cable, 4 plug adapters (UK, EU, US and AUS), instructions manual If the feeder has flashing red lights, then it means the batteries are low. You can change the batteries by removing the bowl from the feeder and turning the feeder upside down. The flaps that cover the batteries are easily removed.

The Sure Petcare web app is available at surepetcare.io. Desktop requirements: latest version of Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer on Mac OS X v10.9 or later and Windows 7 or above. As for the lights, the flashing green light indicates that it’s in learning mode. A constant green light means that the device is running correctly. A flashing orange light means the feeder is in training mode. The flashing red light means that the batteries are low. 3. Multiple Pet TrainingThere 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. Ultimately, though, you get what you pay for, and the SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect is superbly designed. While it isn’t exactly a must-have, you may well end up wondering how you got by without it.

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:

The training is set up in four stages to get your pets used to the sudden motion and (reasonably quiet) noise of the motor, starting with the lid almost completely open and ending with it completely closed. 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. In most multipet households, the struggle to keep one pet out of the food of another is real. Over the years, I've had dogs obsessed with the cat kibble and vice versa. I was never sure if each pet was getting the nutrition they required.Please see more Information on the Sure Petcare SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder Connect at [ https://www.surepetcare.com/pet-feeder/microchip-pet-feeder-connect].

Almost 60 percent i of US cats share their home with another feline friend, while many of them also cohabit with a dog. The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect is ideal for multi-pet households, as the product uses a pet’s identification microchip, or Sure Petcare collar tag, as a unique “key,” allowing only authorized pets to access the food in the bowl. Preventing food stealing by other pets in this way not only leads to more harmonious mealtimes, but also makes the SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder Connect a must-have for the many households where pets are on either prescription diets or weight management programs.
