I love these feeders. I have one greedy little piglet kitty (Dexter) & one who’s timid & eats slowly (Icy). Previously, the piglet would gobble down his food, then gobble down his cat sister’s food, too. Then he’d vomit from eating too much & too quickly. Every single time. Separating them for all feedings gets difficult when you have work/kids/other activities.

These feeders are perfect. They limit portion sizes & access, which prevents the fat cat from eating both cats’ food & keeps both cats a healthy weight. Plus, if we go away for a few days, we don’t have to worry about Icy starving or cleaning 15 cat vomit stains out of the carpet.

Also - my cats used to harass us (usually me, but sometimes my husband) when they wanted to be fed - which for Dexter was always. They’d get underfoot, yowl loudly, & make a general nuisance of themselves if they thought there was a chance we’d give them food. Now that they’re used to the feeders, they don’t harass us anymore because they know their food comes from the feeder & only at certain times. Dexter sits in front of his feeder & glares at it when it gets close to feeding times, but they no longer assume we’re in the kitchen for the purpose of feeding them so they have no reason to badger us for food.

In an ideal world, I’d love to have a battery backup option for the feeder so it would continue running even if the power goes out. I’d also love to see the UI for settings be a little more efficient to program & more customizable.

Specifically, I’d prefer to be able to nudge the amount given per day up or down a little rather than selecting only from the options given. As it is now, I have to weigh both cats every week or two & increase or decrease the amount given per day if they weigh too little or too much. If I could nudge it up or down until it’s at a good level, then I could weigh them much less often and not feel like I’m starving them or overfeeding them.

Also, being able to program the feeder online or from a device via bluetooth would be amazing, but that’s probably a big ask.

I was already recommending this feeder to everyone I talked to about cats - my vet even bought some for her cats & probably recommended them to other cat owners with piglet pets ;). I love them even more now that I can replace batteries in the collar tags rather than throwing them in a landfill and buying a new one every few months.

So glad this tag now has a replacement battery! Good Work!

I love my PortionPro feeders. I have a busy schedule and two dogs on different diets. I can ensure they don’t share food and have had fewer vet visits since I started using this product.

These zip ties will be perfect as I periodically change the batteries in the tags for my three cats feeding machines. Thank you for having them available.

We finally got our ideal set-up for our three cats. We are experimenting setting up the best scenarios for the cats to be healthy & happy. Our cats are getting used to their new way of feeding. Although, sometimes, we feed them wet food on the side. My daughter and I are longtime customers. Thank you for your support.

Having the ability and freedom to replace the battery and also having it hang higher on my cat’s neck is perfection. Thank you so much for making the change.

Love love love the new tags with replaceable batteries!!! My cats eat different prescription food and it is a life saver!

This is the best automatic pet feeder you will find. I looked far and wide for a programmable individualized feeder. I have two cats on separate prescription diets who like to steal from each other. The best part is the customizable feedings and maximum daily quantity. As a veterinarian I recommend the feeder to many of my clients who are looking for an advanced feeder!

Stops my fat pig of a cat from stealing the poor old skinny ones food.

I can change the battery as needed very easily and the new design with the zip ties keeps the tag out of the food and water. Love the feeder but was about to give up on it because of having to replace the whole tag each time. I couldn't even keep spares on hand since the batteries would be drained just sitting in the drawer. I currently use 3 tags and it was expensive to replace the whole tag each time. Thank you for making the battery replaceable!

Love the new design. It fits so well flat against his collar!

We have an adult cat on prescription food and a 6-month kitten who was eating our adult cat’s food. We keep the feeder open and the kitten is the unassigned pet. Closes when she approaches and she’s gotten used to the “rejection” that she’s almost stopped trying! Our adult cat got used to the new feeder quickly. Works wonderfully and we no longer have to worry when we aren’t home. Highly recommend!

I love this system! No need to worry about missing feeding time.

The new tag which fits snug on the collar and has a replaceable battery is great! I had to replace the old tag twice because I think the tag was going into the water bowl. When the tag stopped working the third time (within one year) I had decided to Stop using the portion pro feeder as replacing tags was getting too expensive. Then, the company announced the preorder for the new tag! The new version is working great so far!

Very glad you decided to make replaceable battery tags.
