The 'Smart Microchip Pet Feeder Bowl' identifies each pet based on a unique RFID code. This RFID code can be in the form of an embedded microchip within a pet, or in one attached to a collar. The collar-attached microchips come with the pet feeder, meaning no embedded microchip is required for operation.
This pet feeder is ideal for multi-pet households with pets on different diets. For example, a kitten eats different food from an adult cat, or a cat may require medical food. This bowl will also keep the food safe from larger pets, such as dogs. Alternatively, pet owners can set the device to only open at certain times and distribute certain amounts of food, helping with the maintenance of pet health and pet obesity.
