TESTING THE SUREFEED MICROCHIP PET FEEDER | SVEN & ROBBIE

[@bearteeka4782]

Just seeing you still using these 5 years later is a huge testimony. I will definitely look into getting them for my two.

[@tonybowen455]

Nice, the feeder origin video! Robbie at the start is killing me!

[@surfn07]

Just a suggestion. Lift the feeders off the floor a few inches on a stable surface. It’s better for their backs and shoulders especially in older cats. ♥️ btw you guys are all adorable

[@KawaiiLuckyGirl]

great suggestions. I'm looking into getting these for my new place

[@rhomp_son7973]

have you tried this? im wondering if it would work as they have to step onto these feeders to reach the bowl

[@herrkulor3771]

Still finding these treasures of KZbins most entertaining cats. Sven and Robbie ; scooping action by Sven 😂 my cats use their forks if they get meatball style food or play ping pong with it getting sauce everywhere.

[@jnicholas-windsoramyisrael46]

I’ve just bought two tonight for £140 British Pounds & will be delivered tomorrow 😊 I really do hope my two babies ( Snow Leopard Bengals ) won’t run away the minute they hear the door opening lol. Thank you for this video, it’s helped me a lot to understand this product.

[@SvenandRobbie]

I’m sure they will get use to it! It’s scary at first. Robbie kept jumping every time it made a noise 😹. Now he knows it’s good time when he hears it. Thanks for dropping by our channel! 😻

[@jnicholas-windsoramyisrael46]

Sven and Robbie My boy Shah has no problem with it, he was giving it a good pouncing when he couldn’t get into it lol Ameera on the other hand runs away the minute it opens due to the noise. Thank you for the comment & upload.

[@M00Nabove]

Thank you for the review, it was great to see it in action. Also the fact how the Train mode can help if a cat is scared. :) We have 7 cats (we're otherwise quite normal, thank you :D) and some have specific diets, others are like hoovers for food and steal others' food so having 7 of these would make the 'feeding management' so much easier. I just wish there was a discount when buying more of them. :D 7 feeders will make a dent in our budget. I think I'll just buy one to test how they react and go from there.

[@SvenandRobbie]

They are pricey, but I think they are pretty well made. I’m still using ours! I would see if you can get it in chewy and use cash back with rakuten. Usually there’s at least 1% cash back. I know that’s not much but every dollar counts!

[@ka2146]

I love your channel & cats! I'm going to look into getting those feeders for our kitties 😻😻

[@daisycampbell7961]

Aww I love Robbie so much he is so cute! And those pet feeders are so cool! I have a chunky cat too and he likes to eat the food from everyone else so this would be really good for him haha. Love the video!

[@SvenandRobbie]

The feeders are working wonders! Robbie eats really slow and Sven literally just vacuums up all the food if he gets the chance. The feeder has prevented Sven from stealing Robbie's food, however smart boy found a way to sneak in from the side as Robbie eats hahahahha. Now we have to figure out a way to block the sides.

[@felixfisher9169]

I agreee on the battery thing. Nacho is still nervous but it’s going ok

[@ryanletemi]

the camera person is a supportive partner

[@SvenandRobbie]

Hahaha it was my brother! I’ll pass the appreciation though!

[@jojocolvin]

This was recommended this morning by our vet. My cat Charlie and I seem to have an interloper cat who appears late at night and steels Charlie's food. Neither of us minded but on Saturday night the interloper attacked Charlie and sunk his sharp teeth into Charlie's hind leg. Ouch. Poor Charlie is miserable. So... The feeder arrives tomorrow (with batteries)... And we are going to give this a go. With the idea being that the interloper won't be able to eat Charlie's food and will become disinterested and bugger off. Fingers crossed. Charlie is an old man who is gentle and just wants a quiet life.

[@SvenandRobbie]

Awww poor beebee! I hope the feeder helps! When we first started Sven still tried stealing Robbie food. Pawing at the machine and trying to go from the other side while Robbie is eating. Now everyone sticks to their food bowls! Hope Charlie gets better soon!

[@jojocolvin]

Charlie thanks you ... And we anxiously await the feeder tomorrow .... At present he is sound asleep healing his poor leg.

[@jojocolvin]

@@SvenandRobbie the interloper only appears late at night ... Normally when Charlie and I are either watching telly or asleep. Neither him or I minded the interloper as it's always kind to give food to hungry strangers but now the interloper is actively hurting poor Charlie and that is not a good thing. When Charlie is prevented from coming home because of the interloper ... Well the interloper is no longer welcome ... I shall let you know how it goes x love your two cats

[@SvenandRobbie]

Please let me know how it goes! That interloper needs to get to stepping! No food for him!

[@jojocolvin]

On day two of ....training . Charlie has taken to it like a pro. I have closed the window now at night and it seems Charlie has simply no desire to go out ... He was obviously very shaken by the interloper attack. But the feeder is awesome. It also has the wonderful ability to keep away the flies (I live in the middle of the country surrounded by fields and flies are a nuisance). Just love the feeder. Will keep you updated .

[@klopek007]

It's seriously weird that they require batteries, instead of just using a power cord. Why not an option for either one?

[@trumpneedstodiealongwithidiots]

Safety

[@grussem]

@@trumpneedstodiealongwithidiots Safety? I have an electric pet feeder and water fountain, both with plug-in power and battery backup.

[@gemma1811]

Great video! made me smile so much :D

[@suzywebb8460]

Brilliant demo, and very entertaining, thanks so much.

[@SvenandRobbie]

Thank you! Hope it was helpful!

[@JennyTownsend-r5x]

She's ALWAYS Entertaining. That's why we watch her, and them every day.

[@grussem]

Spot on with the comment about the batteries! Also, who the heck has C batteries just hanging around the house? They could have chosen a more common battery at least if they're not going to include them.

[@Fuck_Snowflakes]

Stop bitching. Power goes out and they not home, the cats can still eat.

[@creepermanzombie24]

​@@Fuck_Snowflakesit'd still work in that case with more common batteries and you'd probably have new batteries around when they run out

[@alexisrivas307]

Thank you for your review. Which model was this? Three years later are these feeders still operating?

[@SvenandRobbie]

I think this is the original model. Not the one with the weighing feature. Yes they are still working perfectly! And I got another one for my third cat!

[@gossamerabba]

Hi, Alexis... Commenting 3 months after yours because I just got one of these feeders, and it works really *really well. It "learned" my younger cats microchip easily; it took her maybe 24 hours to get used to approaching it so the door opens for her. The one con is it only works on batteries, no power cord, which is a bit surprising. I bought batteries but hope to switch to the rechargeable batteries when these run down, which I've read will take a *long time.

[@ebonyruffles]

I just got 2 of these. One cat just started a renal prescription diet & the other is on regular food. The prescription food is bad for the normal cat, the regular food is bad for my kidney disease cat. I never knew these existed until I got Googling, lol. We are still in training mode & are going very slowly so as not to scare them. The boy doesn't mind the cover sliding open but the girl is a scaredy cat. I made a funny!

[@SvenandRobbie]

I love these machines!! Sven always finishes his food first and steals Robbie’s. Since we got the machines Robbie finally can have a full meal! Sven tried to sneak from the back from time to time 😂🤣

[@JennyTownsend-r5x]

16 lbs? Callas, my rescued Bombay weighed 15 lbs. Vet sold me Science Diet "diet" canned food. She ate more food. A couple years later, she lost weight on her own, around 11 lbs.

[@Heywhatshouldmynamebelol]

Thats sooo coool how it reads microchips!! All this time looking at ads, and first half of your video I'm all "where's the collar!?" Ahh! I'm moving to a house with two dogs so I miiiight need to get this. WHY $150 tho??

[@SvenandRobbie]

Yeah pricey but we think it’s a good investment. Especially if one pet tend to each faster and will steal others food. So far we have had no problems thankfully! 😁

[@The_Laser_Channel]

I just wish it had a rechargeable battery or even AC power.

[@SvenandRobbie]

Agreed! Thankfully our batteries last for more than 6months.

[@JennyTownsend-r5x]

Food stealing was central to "Love & Monsters" an Australian post-apocalyptic horror comedy with a wise little girl & a dog & a Woody Harrelson type guy. Our hero sets out, meets dog with red dress living bereft in his trailer home. They meet tiny sharpshooter girl and the tough guy. Monsters all ovet.

[@AEArato]

Love this product!

[@mackreel6810]

Thank you for sharing, in the EU the same model cost now 86 euro

[@chrisallen5786]

we have two cats. One main one rescue. Main is only a year and is 17 pounds thin and eats like a teenage boy. Other one is only 9 pounds and they both need different dry food. Will this keep the big boy out of the little girls food?

[@SvenandRobbie]

It should! Unless mr big boy figures how to sneak food by sticking his head while the girl eats 😹. Sven had a hard time adjusting; he always tried to paw at Robbie’s food. He doesn’t do it now. Once in a while he will try to stick his head while Robbie eats, but the machine closes as soon as Robbie pulls away from the bowl.

[@Vegemieontoast]

Love your cats. Are the microchips injected in the cats neck

[@SvenandRobbie]

Yes! Almost between the shoulder blade

[@privateprivate8366]

I really ❤️ the connect version but, the PRICE! JESUS CHRISTTT!!! Especially as you have to buy more than one and, for the connected version, the hub costs, as well! And, for yours, they didn’t include batteries??? They do make a stainless steel bowl but, I don’t think I’ve seen it in a split bowl, which would make sense, at least for me as, I feed both wet and dry. The answer “may” be to simply replace the included bowl with 2 stainless saucers but, you’d have to measure for that. I also don’t know that replacing the bowls with 2 stainless bowls would work for the connected version as, I think that unit goes by weight and 2 stainless bowls might not weigh the same as the stainless one that is made for it. Other stainless bowls would need to be the same height so the flap could close properly, as well. One of my cats is fat and the other skinny. The fat one is likely fat because she was underweight as a kitten and was prescribed high calorie food but, I think that caused her to make fat cells and be overweight as an adult cat. So, I’m worried about her becoming diabetic. She is also less active as, she’s afraid of the leash and harness, while I walk the thin cat as he steps right into the harness. Didn’t know it works with implanted microchips though.

[@trumpneedstodiealongwithidiots]

HERE HERE!!!

[@LittleHerdaz]

I've ordered one for my cat Molly, as my other cat Sprite keeps eating her food. I've got it through the Cats Protection website. For anyone from the UK, if you go through the Cats Protection website you get £16 off, making it £64 instead of £80 and the company donates £10 to Cats Protection 🥰 This can also be used for the cat flaps too 🥰

[@SvenandRobbie]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to add this to the description🤩

[@Natlatify]

Can you direct me to where you found it? I can't find it via Cats Protection

[@josecarlosviana1792]

Boa tarde!!! Falo do Brasil. Comprei dois desse e estou aguardando chegar. Pergunto se pode usar pilhas recarregáveis? Sabe informar? Desde já agradeço pela informação

[@romygime5822]

One for each cat and you need to fill it up every time they want to eat the bowl is very small still you need to be at home. what about when you are away? if by yourself who fed the cat

[@SvenandRobbie]

The bowls are large enough to hold their meals. I feed my cats 2x a day. This isn’t an automatic feeder so you will have to refill each meal. I have a cat sitter when I am away for more than a day.

[@SimsonGarfinkel]

Great video. What do you think of the connected hub?

[@courtney725]

Does anyone know if the other cat can stick their head behind the feeder while its open and get the food? The chip reader is at the front so if they go through the side or back couldn't they get their head in while the other is eating? I have 2 cats on two seperate prescription diets. I feed them in separate rooms but the one has chronic pancreatitis and ibs that flares up really bad if he eats any type of kibble at all and does anything to get into my other cats kibble. Sometimes someone will accidently let him in the room while she's eating her food and he scarfs it down as fast as he can and Im afraid he could just stick his head through the side or back and get it and I would have the same issue..

[@SvenandRobbie]

Yes it is possible. But there is an intruder mode that closes anytime another microchip is sensed. I never used it though. If you place the feeder against a wall, it shouldn’t be as easy to get in. Sven used to try, but the wall made it too annoying for him 😅

[@johnmisrahi9922]

@@SvenandRobbie putting it in a box with only room for one cat works really well too!

[@leahgregg5406]

The company now sells a protective back cover so that persistent pets can't access the back of the bowl while the intended pet is eating from it. It's sold separately for $32 USD, of course. I wish the feeder came with the back cover already installed. I love the idea of these feeders but it's irritating how much you have to pay for accessories that should be a part of the purchased product already given the price point.

[@Kracki88]

We bought the surefeed for exactly the same reason. One of our chonks is on cortison because of allergies. Sadly there is no real cure

[@djjluvv]

I’ve been looking at getting a few of these have you seen the connect version? I’m kinda on the fence if I need to know when each cat eats 🤨

[@SvenandRobbie]

I haven’t seen it. Does it connect to your phone and alarms you when the machine is being used? I don’t think you need to know when each cat eats unless it’s medical related. For us the boys eat right when we place their bowls down and the only thing we need to know is who is eating what.

[@djjluvv]

Sven and Robbie I bought the connect one, it is actually really good, my 8mth old grazers all day and didn’t really know if I was feeding too much or too little. Since using this I don’t free feed it weighs it and lets me know when he eats. I’m a tech geek so enjoy getting messages he’s eaten 😂😂😂

[@rrrrandall]

Any updates on this? Did it work? Also, do you think you could use just 1 and the skinny cat uses a normal food bowl?

[@SvenandRobbie]

Still using it! Loving it! Even got a third! You could definitely get just one for the grazer!

[@JennLynnRohling]

@SvenandRobbie Would you still recommend this? Thinking of purchasing for my kitties

[@SvenandRobbie]

Yes still using it! Just opened my fourth one for my foster cat 😬

[@MsMe99999999]

Does anyone know how to UNACTIVATE one cat from a feeder? I have two and accidentally activated 2 cats to 1.

[@lisakendrick5461]

Great video, I've just bought one for my cat as I am constantly throwing away feed as flies keep laying larvae on it. Not tried it yet as like you said it doesn't come with batteries! All that money it costs (although I only paid £60, second hand off ebay, but brand new as the seller's cat didn't take to it) it should be supplied with batteries or even why not a power lead? Hope my cat will adapt to it, she's 16, so can you teach an old cat new tricks?! 😻 xxx

[@wendyporter4338]

not coming with batteries is something to do with the importing rules not the manufacture

[@marthiuxag8745]

En dónde se le pone el microchip al gato??

[@gossamerabba]

Usually between the shoulder blades.

[@kja_1996]

How do you connect the microchip tho? There’s no option for that on the feeder

[@SvenandRobbie]

There’s a button in the back to sync a microchip.

[@MyPetsChannel]

I have never heard of this before cool

[@k17ww]

Hey! This is four years late but I just purchased my first one and want to know if they provide you with a free rfid tag

[@lainehorowitz672]

It says "multiple feeders." It just means you can block other cats from eating. It's misleading.

[@cooliipie]

Interesting machine. But it's only one meal. I'd rather just stick to pet feeders. Maybe if they can include this technology into them that'd be cool.

[@gossamerabba]

Hi, quick clarification: each cat eats differently; I wash and refill the bowl about every 4-5 days which to me is not an inconvenience. I have an auto feeder which I fill every few weeks but this SureFeed works awesome for my year old newest addition. It's a little pricey but knowing one cat won't overeat and the other has constant access to kibble is worth it.

[@JennyTownsend-r5x]

What about the Girl? Louise?!!!

[@jasonpelletier8066]

She did not have Louise yet :)

[@Anjebel]

Or at least a rechargeable battery.

[@valeriehofmann2615]

Wow no batteries at that price crazy

[@SvenandRobbie]

It kinda is. But one of those feeders finally ran out of batteries. So it lasted quite a while. It was Robbie’s machine and he probably activates it like five to six times a day.

[@carlimidwife]

Because there is rules around shipping batteries. So it's easier for the retailer for you to get them yourself...

Lots of pets with microchips have allergies and a variety of autoimmune disorders. Microchips cause pets pain, illness and exploitation. Before you implant one of these in your pet, find our more at chipmenot.info Maybe the owner will wise up and have the chip removed.

[@SvenandRobbie]

Thank your comment and concern. Sven's allergies was actually discovered prior to getting his microchip. He has had allergies since he was two and he just got his microchip right before turning five.

[@flyingblogger280]
