SureFeed Sealed Pet Bowl

Use it over a year now. Amazing, my cats love it.

My cats learned how to use this bowl less than in a week. Very nice, quite working. I will recommend this product.

We ve bought it for our Maine Coon 3 mths ago and we really are happy with it. It really keeps the wet food fresh for longer and closed off from flies. It s easy to clean and our kitty was quick to grasp using it after just 48 hours and training mode. The only caveat is that you can't wash the bowls in the dishwasher but at the same time, it s easy to clean them by hand-maybe sth producer would look into improving in the future. Recommend having extra bowl set -I change them very 2nd day

Unfortunately, like only 1 other reviewer, this product seems to be ineffective for my situation. Bought 2 and the greedy cat took to it immediately, but the one who likes to graze won't go near it. He doesn't want to put his head under the arch, and the motor sound terrifies him. Alas, I was so excited for this and feel really sad. Otherwise it's a great product.

I have used these for about 6 years, have 4 cats & 3 feeders, they are all on different diets. One will eat nothing but biscuits - sadly. One on a renal diet, one on a normal elderly diet & have just rescued a skip diver, counter surfer dustbin cat. My Maine coon cannot use his properly. He has a very long neck & because his microchip is between his shoulder blades, it won't recognise it until his head is out the other side of the arch. It then opens & he panics running off with it around his neck. I could use the rfd tag, but, he has never had a collar & feeding him on the hall windowsill at the top of the stairs that only he can reach, seemed an easier option. They are rather large & tricky to clean, especially if your cat eats like a rotavator! Very good item that does save you money as less waste from spoiled food.

I didn’t think my daft cat was going to get it but after almost 6 weeks he’s had a eureka moment and ‘by Jove he’s got it’! We have one cat on a special diet so now he’s learned which bowl is his and all going well. Great idea just give it time and they will get it eventually. Only one design flaw is when on trainer mode the light constantly flashes draining the battery and as with our stupid cat got through lots during that phase.

So good keeping the kitten from eating the old guy's food - but as she grew a little and started with more adult food - had to get another to prevent him eating hers! great product - no more flies!! woohoo

I feel slightly guilty giving this a so-so review - the product seems to work perfectly, but it was a complete waste of money for us. The cat that is the main reason we got it - he's getting bullied out of his food - won't go near it. He is intimidated by the noise and hates having something over his head. He'd rather go hungry than use it. I should have known better! We'll have to try to sell it on, I guess.

With 3 cats all on different diets, and 2 dogs just waiting in the wings to polish off any leftovers, these feeders have revolutionised my life! Luckily my cats are ruled by their stomachs so accepted the noise of the feeder opening very quickly... All 3 of them within a week! I can now ensure each cat gets their specific food, if any need medication, that's sorted too, and if I go away my cat sitter can be sure of who is eating what and in what quantities! Fabulous investment!

So I gave this 3 stars previously, as my fat boy was able to reach over the side and steal food as my old girl ate. I contacted Surefeed about this issue and they sent me an after market hood to add to the feeder. Problem solved, fat boy cant reach over the side any longer. As for squeezing in beside the old girl, the hood has also prevented that somehow. So pleased that my old girl can now have all the extra food she needs and can graze all day.

Very disappointed that the unit as a whole is sooo big and bulky. The plastic bowl itself is 0.4litre but the whole unit it sits in is huge. But overall the product is a great idea, food is completely sealed so great to keep flies away in the summer, and does help keep food fresher longer. Would definitely recommend, but I wish SureFeed would make a more compact version, a smaller unit with a smaller bowl (closer to 0.2l). I have 6 ceramic food bowls down at one time (all 0.2l), and they don't take up very much floor space at all, but if I were to have six of these units down, they would take up way too much floor space! I also like to put a couple bowls up high, but these are much too bulky to be able to do that

I have two feeders that I been working for over a year and clean up easily. Absolutely the best feeders I've come across that help me keep track of food and help maintain moisture in the wet food.

If you have a super greedy cat and a grazer cat like I do, this product is a must have in your household. I hesitated over the price for quite a while but there is nothing else like it out there. It is quite a big contraption but now I can feed my grazer cat and walk away knowing that the greedy cat will not be able to steal his food as soon as he can (it is very satisfying watching him try). The grazer cat will then be able to eat his food throughout the day as and when he pleases.

These feeding bowls broke after 3 years. The lid mechanism was too worn out by then and it wouldn’t open properly anymore. Other than that, it’s a good feeding bowl and the lid responds quickly to the chip. Just a heads up: If you have a strong and fast cat who’s really hungry, they can manage to get their mouth between the lid and the edge with enough speed and push it open again. Now that both bowls are broken, I find them too expensive to buy again.

Bought with my cat in mind, who has chronic food intolerance, needs to take medication, and as if that wasn’t enough, likes to eat in small portions. There’s another cat at home who used to constantly steal her special diet food. After buying this bowl, the problem completely disappeared. My cat got used to it very quickly, practically straight away and without any training programme. The price isn’t low, but it’s absolutely worth it for our peace of mind.

I bought it for my 15-year-old kitty to stop the two greedy ones I feed from eating her kibble. Training went relatively well and she’s been using it on her own since February. However, she doesn’t like it when I put the double bowl in—she won’t touch the wet food if it’s in the dispenser.

I bought this feeder for my two cats. It's really convenient to be able to register several microchips. Unfortunately, one of my cats gets scared every time the lid opens, even with the training mode. This option was very helpful for the cat who has now got used to the feeder. It's great to have two types of bowls as well as the little mat. We'll see how long the batteries last, since it does need four of them. But overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

Ideal for giving each cat their own food. The kitten figured out how it works after just one day. The adult cat needed three days.

When you have cats with different diets, this bowl is brilliant and makes your life so much easier!

The big obstacles in the bowl are too large, the cat can't even try to eat directly so it all just ends up with her using her paws to get the food out. Doesn't feel like that's the intention. Also, the bowl is light in weight and with just a bit of food, the cat sometimes grabs the rubber strip and then the whole bowl moves out of place. Another problem is that the cat opens the SureFeed machine, but when she backs away and uses her paws instead, the SureFeed closes because the ID chip gets too far from the sensor in the SureFeed.

I've had the feeder for quite a while now, and I'm pretty happy with it, but for the price you wouldn't expect teething problems, yet there are a few: - Setting it up is tricky because sometimes the feeder doesn't immediately register the chip - The feeder doesn't always open when the cat puts its head under the sensor - Mould: If the food isn't eaten straight away, moisture gets in because the lid is closed, and this causes the rubber to go mouldy. Even if you clean the bowls every day. - Fast cats also get to eat, as the flap stays open

I bought 3 of them. After 2 years, all 3 broke on me... €240 down the drain. And the warranty, well, doesn't work... because I didn't know you have to register with Petscare using the number on the box.

Having three cats, two of which need special medical diets, I invested in these bowls and I'm delighted. Each cat has its own bowl and its own food, so there's no competition or stealing (although technically it's possible from the back). It's quiet, my cats quickly got the hang of it thanks to the training mode, and it's easy to clean. The app lets you track their meals and set portion sizes. In short, this thing is brilliant.

Avoid at all costs, way too fragile and way too expensive 😡😡😡 If you don't need anything, call them.

The cat with severe IBD and therefore on a special diet just manages to break into the SureFeed. It was already secured with an extra lid. I was suspicious and set up a camera, and it was clearly visible that he could still steal some kibble. As a result, another serious intestinal inflammation and again a lot of money spent at the vet. The idea is nice, but unfortunately it's not suitable when a cat really can't have any other food.

I've had the feeder for 2 years now.. they claim with Duracell batteries it'll last 6 months.. but honestly, it's more like 3 months. And they say the feeder has a lifespan of 6 years.. but really, it's 2 years because the motor has already given up. Also, it's really awkward for a Maine Coon to eat from it because the arch gets in the way a lot. So if you're still thinking about buying it.. DON'T do it for a big cat.

Costs a bit, but you get something good in return! My cats needed a little time to get used to the feeders, but now it's great—no more eating from each other's bowls, and they can just eat whenever they want without the other cat joining in.

For this price, I really expected it to have a rechargeable battery, but instead you still have to use batteries, and a size that no one ever has at home. The part that hangs over the tray, in my opinion, hangs very low. My cat doesn't dare go under it, even after weeks of trying. Really a shame for such an expensive tray.

Very satisfied. I have two cats that need special kibble, so this is ideal, but now I notice that sometimes it gets stuck. I've had it for 5 years now.

For this price, I really expected it to have a rechargeable battery, but instead it runs on batteries—and not even a standard size, but one that hardly anyone has at home and is only sold in DIY stores. I also find it really disappointing that the chip section can't be adjusted in height. It hangs very low, so the cats have to really crouch down to reach the food. Unfortunately, mine just won't do that, even after weeks of trying. Such a shame :/
