SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder MPF001: What to Know
The SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder solves a different problem than every other feeder in this guide: it's not primarily about timing meals, it's about restricting who can eat them. The bowl only unlocks when it reads your cat's existing implanted microchip or an included RFID collar tag, and locks again once that cat walks away. In a multi-cat household where one cat is on a prescription or weight-management diet and another cat keeps stealing it, that's a genuinely different mechanism than a timed hopper, which can't tell one cat from another.
We're covering the standard MPF001 configuration (ASIN B00O0UIPTY), sold under Sure Petcare's SureFlap brand on Amazon.com. It's battery-operated (four C-cell batteries, not included, rated for roughly six months of use), holds about 13.5 fl. oz. of wet or dry food in a sealed bowl with a neoprene lip that helps retain moisture, and comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty. Note that SureFeed is a UK-originated brand under Sure Petcare/SureFlap, and we specifically verified this MPF001 listing as sold and shipped by Amazon.com on the US marketplace, not a UK-only listing, before including it here.
There's also a separate "Connect" version of this feeder that adds app connectivity through a separate hub sold apart from the feeder itself; the base MPF001 we're covering here does not include WiFi or an app, it's a purely mechanical microchip-lock feeder. If you want scheduled portion control on top of microchip restriction, that's a different, hub-dependent product, and it's worth checking current Amazon listings separately if that's what you need.
