Will this cat feeder work with your cat’s existing microchip?

Answer three quick questions to see whether a feeder reads implanted microchips or needs a proprietary collar tag, and whether it is for dry food or wet food.

Three questions, then a reasoned shortlist

“Not sure” is a valid answer. We’ll show what still needs checking.

RFID does not automatically mean “reads implanted microchips”

01

Identification

An implanted microchip is under the skin. A proprietary RFID tag hangs from a collar. A feeder may support one, both, or neither. Read the plain-English guide.

02

Feeder job

A scheduled dispenser releases portions at set times. A selective-access bowl opens for a recognised pet. These solve different problems.

03

Food format

Hopper dispensers are generally for kibble. Covered bowls can hold wet or dry food but do not automatically dispense timed portions.

Product facts come from manufacturers, not merchant offers

Product truth

Model identity, chip reader, feeder type and food format are sourced independently.

Merchant offer

Price, stock, delivery and returns belong to the merchant and may change without notice.
