About this item

  • KEY BENEFITS: - Fully automate pet’s feeding; control portions to prevent or reverse pet obesity; eliminate food stealing and chaos at mealtimes; save money by not overfeeding; avoid expensive vet bills related to health issues associated with overweight/obese pets and truly manage a pet on a prescription diet. (Note: One feeder per pet recommended for proper daily meal portioning.)
  • PORTION CONTROL: Keep your pets healthier by feeding correct portions to keep your pet at a healthy weight. Each feeder can be customized to measure and serve the proper portions for the assigned pet.
  • ACCESS CONTROL: Patented RFID Collar Tag system controls access to the food for an assigned pet within multi-pet households. The Patented Tag Technology (PFC) is recognized by the feeder at approximately 2 feet. Our tags have a longer range and more accurate recognition than microchips. (*Our feeder does not work with standard microchips*) (Each pet should wear a collar tag for access control. If you purchase fewer feeders than pets in the home, we recommend purchasing additional tags to ensure proper access control.)
  • Our NEW tag design incorporates an easily replaceable battery as well as a NEW Zip-Tie collar mount! Substantially improved water-resistance, via a new silicone O-ring seal and enclosure sealing. The RFID tag dimensions are approximately 4.6 x 3.4 x 1.4 cm. The weight of the tag is approximately 0.65 oz. (Our feeder only works with our own tag.)
  • We suggest, rather using than the D-ring on your pet’s collar, that you use our Zip-Tie option to affix the tag to the collar. (This keeps the tag up and out of water bowls, and it is a more secure and convenient method of mounting the tag)
  • The food bin holds 32 cups of DRY kibble and can portion out feeding of as little as 1/2 cup/day and all the way up to 6 cups/day, the feeder automatically divides the daily amount into 2, 4, or 6 meals per day for cats and 2 or 3 meals per day for dogs. The total daily food amount can be set in 1⁄8-cup increments up from 1/2 cup to 3 cups and in ¼-cup increments from 3 cups to 6 cups.
  • The PortionProRx is designed to be used with non-irregular shaped dry food. Recommended kibble size 5/8" or less for optimal meal accuracy.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the pet feeder. Some mention that it's easy to set up and program, with straight forward instructions.

Customers are mixed about the value of the pet feeder. Some mention that it's well worth the investment, keeping the expensive specialty food away from the other cats. However, others say that the price is not worth the quality, the product is pretty ok, but not for the price, and it'd be a waste of money.

23 customers mention13 positive10 negative

Customers are mixed about the ability to feed. Some mention it's perfect for their cats, prevents them from overeating, and is great for pets with specific diets. However, others say that it'll terrify their cats and can't be used to feed multiple pets.

"...Pros:* It does its job* It's able to keep my older cat from eating my younger cat's food* It holds a lot of food...." Read more

"...Cannot customize the amount of food per meal. You only set 1/2 cup a day and it automatically portions it throughout the day.*..." Read more

"...Food gets dispensed on time, and in correct portions, everyone gets to eat how they like to eat and my food hound doodle is kept under control...." Read more

"...Recently my most recent feeder was not delivering food properly...." Read more

46 customers mention3 positive43 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the volume of the pet feeder. They mention that the machine is very loud when it dispenses food, and the gate closing mechanism is loud. Some customers also mention that when the lid makes too much noise when closing or opening. They also say that the pet will start beeping loudly every few minutes until the bowl is no longer full.

"...-Food door is really loud when it opens/ closes. Takes cats some getting used to, even in 'open' mode. Will definitively wake you up if in bedroom...." Read more

27 customers mention0 positive27 negative

Customers are not happy with the size of the pet feeder. They say that the bowl is too deep and the tag is too big for their cats. Some customers also mention that the RFID tag is large and heavy for a cat. They also say that it's not user friendly and has an unflattering design.

"...Might have to tape that shut.-Tags for collars are huge. Use zip ties and a good cat collar that doesn't unclasp easily...." Read more

"...The point about the collar tag being huge & the noise level still stands & I do wish it had a battery backup in case the power were to go out...." Read more

"...creator to design smaller devices for my cats to wear because it is very bulky and dare I say an eyesore...." Read more

17 customers mention5 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the opening of the pet feeder. For example, they mention it doesn't close quickly, it doesn’t close until the cat is 20 feet away, and the door will open every time for each cat. That said, some complain that the bowl covers open and shut constantly. That, and it takes too long to close and open.

"...If Herbert comes near the bowl while Suki is eating, the door will close and startle Suki...." Read more

"...It only does one of those two things, and it doesn’t even close that quickly so my cat can steal food...." Read more

"...Pros: The bowl closes quickly when the excluded cat gets close. They really can't run up and steal food. It dispenses the set amount at the set time...." Read more

"...The door will open every time for each cat warring a tag it will not feed two cats at different times...." Read more

*UPDATED REVIEW- Product is good now that I have one that works
UPDATED REVIEW:I’m changing my initial review from 1 star to 4 stars! The seller saw my review below & reached out to me to resolve my issue which I really appreciate. They were in the process of changing email addresses & initially missed my message but thankfully they saw the review & made things right. So customer service is great! Turns out I had a faulty feeder that wouldn’t dispense the food but this replacement feeder works well so far! The point about the collar tag being huge & the noise level still stands & I do wish it had a battery backup in case the power were to go out. Those are the only things keeping it from being 5 stars BUT it’s still a good product & I’d say it’s worth a buy. Hopefully it lasts a long time. It keeps my greedy boy out of his brother’s bowl so that gives me a lot of peace of mind for when I’m not home to play food guard. Lol*****************************************************I have two cats. One eats his food as he pleases so he’ll eat a bit then leave & come back later. My other cat eats all his food at once then is ready to eat his brother’s food next lol so I got this feeder to keep him out of the other cat’s bowl….that feature on the machine is great. I keep it on open mode and it closes when the cat wearing the tag comes near. However, my biggest problem with the machine is I CAN’T GET IT TO DISPENSE ANY FOOD!! I followed the instructions & set it up correctly, at least that’s what I thought…but it keeps giving me an Error 4 message which according to the manual means there’s too much food in the bowl so food can’t be dispensed from the feeder. Unfortunately, I get this message no matter what I do. I’ve emptied the bowl. I’ve taken the feeder apart & put it back together. I’ve even taken the bowl out thinking maybe it’s blocking a sensor? Nope. Nothing. The conveyer belt hasn’t worked once. It doesn’t move at all. I’m not sure what else to do. I didn’t get a chance to assemble the feeder until about a month after I got it (life happens but I shouldn’t have to worry about a product I bought brand new not working & not doing it’s main function)…so the return window has passed. FML. In the meantime, I’ve just been manually putting food in the bowl & letting it keep my younger kitty out. I’ve reached out to the customer support email, still haven’t heard anything back. The phone number just has an automated message telling you to email them. (-__- ok.) Very frustrating that I paid over $200 for something that only half works & then I can’t even get in contact with a human to discuss tech support. :/Another few annoying things is the fact that the tag for the collar is SO big. Way too big for a cat collar. The machine is also pretty loud but you kinda get used to it after a while. Especially if you have a mischievous cat like mine that seems to go near it every few minutes lolOverall, I’m not happy with this purchase & experience. It’d be great if I could get a replacement that actually works because right now this is one of the only ones on the market that’s like this & it would save me a lot of grief for when I’m away from home & worrying whether my other cat is able to eat enough food or not without the other one stealing it.

1.0 out of 5 stars unfortunately the only option
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023
i was really excited for this to arrive, but it seems a lot of the negative reviews were very right. there’s not really other alternatives though that have both a tank and a chip so here i am. i will say, my cats have finally stopped harassing me ten times a day for food. i have a maine coon mix that tries to eat everyone else’s food after his own. this has stopped that behavior. sadly, that is the only good thing i can say about these feeders. so far they have been a real pain in the neck, and an eyesore.

pros:
-has stopped my fat cat from begging 24/7
-if you unplug it and plug it back in hours later it still seems to be mostly the correct time
-durable (my big boy hasn’t been able to open the door to my other cats feeders.)

cons:
-easy for cats to reach up into the feeder and pull kibble out. when i tested it myself the door to the feeder would close, maybe because my hand is larger than their paws are, but my other cat sits around all day sticking his paw up into the tank and pulling out kibble and looking smug about it. it kind of eliminates the purpose of having it. he’s not the fatty of my cats, but if he has free access to all his food all the time he will be.
-pairing the tags with multiple cats is frustrating and not user friendly. it’s difficult to tell which is paired, and the layout of the screen is difficult to navigate even after reading the manual.
-the tags have to be within three feet of the feeder for you to open the door manually or dispense food.
-this is one of my biggest gripes with it, but the door mechanism is SO LOUD. i do recording during the day and i can hear it in the background of my recordings in a whole other room. it sometimes goes off at night too randomly.
-i tried to make my cats have separate feeders but now it’s paired so that they can access whichever. it was so unnecessarily hard the first time i paired their chips that i’ve left it that way.
-the screen is bright blue. the light for the button is also bright blue and stays on constantly. this may not be an issue for others, but if you can’t sleep with a lot of light, this will bug you.
-i already reviewed the chip separately, but the chip tag for the collar is indeed massive and ugly. it’s annoying to take apart, and it’s annoying to put together. none of the batteries are in them when they arrive so you have to individually unscrew a bunch of teeny tiny screws and screw them back together as many times as you have tags. there are two screws on each and by the time i unscrewed and rescrewed them back together they were nearly all the way stripped. the tiny screw driver is not included btw.

in summary: wouldn’t recommend unless you need a tank and a chip/have food stealing cats. these have potential but are ungodly overpriced for how far they have to go still. they’re huge, loud, and have a unflattering design. if you have clever cats they will figure out how to pull kibble from the tanks. the noise is awful.
