Are you looking for an automatic cat feeder? There are many models on the market. So, which one to choose?
It will depend on your needs and those of your cat. Does your cat tend to be bulimic? Does he eat so much that he ends up vomiting? Or do you have multiple cats that steal food from each other’s bowls?
Surefeed has developed a model of an automatic feeder that opens only for a specific cat. How does it work? Simply configure the Surefeed feeder with your cats’ microchips. Thus, when your cat approaches, the feeder reveals its content to allow your cat to eat.
But how good is this feeder model? We tested it for you and give you a complete review of our product test.
Presentation of the Surefeed Automatic Feeder
Surefeed is an automatic cat and dog feeder, similar to the Petkit feeder. Its unique feature is that it offers customized programs tailored to your pets. How? The feeder detects your pet’s microchip. Based on this, it will either reveal or not reveal the food.
Thus, your puppy will not steal the sterilized cat food from your feline. Or, your bulimic cat will be rationed.
The Design of Surefeed: The Futuristic Feeder
Often, automatic feeders are not very aesthetic. On the contrary, the Surefeed model is quite nice. With a light and futuristic design, this feeder will not look out of place in your living room.
It takes up little space and can be easily positioned in your apartment or house.
The Surefeed Mobile App
A big plus of the feeder is that you can have monitoring and control via a mobile app.
This app is very accessible and allows you to monitor your cat’s feeding and food dosage (kibble or wet food). Does your cat tend to eat more when you’re not there? You will know from the app’s statistics.
The Advantages of Surefeed
This feeder model has many notable advantages! Let’s list them.
1. Hermetic Lid to Avoid Contamination
The problem with open bowls is that insects can come to the food and contaminate it. No more problems with Surefeed. The feeder has a hermetic closure that keeps the food healthy so your cat can eat safely.
2. Avoids Manipulation by Children
Do you have young children? Then you may have discovered, horrified, that your child was handling or even tasting the cat food. And yes, when we have young children, we tend to secure everything in the house. Why do differently for our four-legged friends?
Surefeed only opens when it detects your pet’s microchip. Thus, your child will not be able to access the feeder.
3. Prevents Food Theft
Do you have multiple cats and one of them tends to steal the other’s food? Do you have a cat flap, and neighborhood cats come to steal food?
Since the Surefeed feeder detects your pet’s microchip, theft is impossible.
4. Regulates Bulimic Cats
Do you have a cat that eats a lot and quickly… to the point of vomiting? A bowl like Surefeed will allow you to leave a certain dose available to force him to eat in small quantities, several times a day.
Our Opinion on the Surefeed Automatic Feeder
We have 3 cats at home. One of our kitties needs to use specific kibble. So, we installed 2 different feeders.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but when I opened the product packaging, I was surprised by the quality of the materials and the clarity of the instructions applicable to this letter. In 10 days, our 3 beloved pets got used to the feeders’ operation, and we are very happy. For the strict monitoring of each cat, I suggest having one feeder for each animal.
Otherwise, this model is really interesting and offers a very good quality/price ratio. We recommend it.
