We got two PortionPro feeders sometime last spring/early summer. It worked perfectly. It keeps my special-diet cat out of the regular food, and keeps the healthy cats out of the prescription food. My only complaint came around when the PortionPro manufacturers were unable to ship new tags. This happened because of the virus pandemic, so I completely understand the complications of shipping during that period. It just so happened that the tags’ internal batteries ran out at an inconvenient time. This isn’t the sort of thing that could have been predicted, so I can’t mark off any stars for that reason. The tags are made to be waterproof, so there’s no easy way to change the batteries. As soon as I saw that the company was able to ship new tags, I was able to get them in a timely manner, and adding the new tags was simple. The feeders are back to working perfectly with the new tags. I am considering ordering another feeder, because I am so satisfied with how well it works, despite the issue with the tags running out of battery. At any other time, it would have been very easy to order new tags. I have easily saved the amount of the feeders+tags in the year from keeping the 4 healthy cats out of the prescription food. That food is $$$!

I am most impressed at the PortionPro Staff's willingness to respond to email inquiries and for all their follow-up emails and updates. They are Top Notch in my opinion - Outstanding Staff, Organization, and Product!

Recently I bought two PortionProRx Pet Feeders and I truly cannot recommend them enough. While the circumstance that led us to buy these units was very specific, I can assure you that it helped immensely.

In our family, we have two cats. One has really bad social anxiety while the other is very assertive. The one cat would always try to steal the other’s food and that led us to have a very complicated feeding routine. It was getting so tedious that I began looking for an automatic pet feeder. It was very hard to find one unit that both automatically dispensed the food, and had corresponding tags to open it. But when I found the PortionProRx, it seemed perfect for us.

We have two separate units. When we ordered the first, it took only a couple of days for our cat to adapt to it and stop waking us up at the crack of dawn for breakfast. Her unit is on ‘closed mode’ so when she goes near it, her RFID tag opens it. After our success with the first unit we ordered the second, for our anxious cat.

He doesn’t respond well to collars so we were able to leave his on ‘open mode,’ programming it to reject the other cats tag, leaving him collarless. So far, this system has worked so effectively and essentially eliminated all of the problems we previously had. Now, each cat can get their own food with the added assurance that the other won’t steal it. Additionally, they no longer try and wake us up to get food since they rely now on the automatic feeders.

Overall, if you are having trouble with a pet’s feeding in any way, shape or form, I strongly recommend checking out the PortionProRx Pet Feeder.

Okay, I was a bit hesitant to purchase because these are not cheap! However, when I recently became a pet mom of a second cat (the biggest chonk), I needed to find a way to keep him from stealing all of his brothers food. I’m a busy woman, I’m working, schooling and trying to keep a clean house. I needed my babies to be fed consistently, on time and without fighting each other for food. This is an absolute miracle worker! When my chonk tries to get into his brothers food it immediately slams shut before he’s close enough to get into it. They quickly adapted to them (within a day) and love the timing consistency. My chonk obsessively paces waiting for his diet food right before the food dispenses. You can customize these perfectly to fit your needs and each animals diets. They dispense food at the exact same time on opposite sides of the kitchen. Incredible technology, worth every penny!

PORTIONPRO MAKES FEEDING 3 CATS ON DIFFERING DIETS EASY, ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT THE SETUP.

My cat who always stole from his sister's bowl has lost 1.4lbs! It took them a little getting used to and the tags are far too chunky (had to tape them down to their collars). They are waking me up less in the night for food and seeming to meow less in general because they associate me less with meal time. Very happy I purchased!

Bought (2) for my cats that needed to be fed a prescription weight management diet with different portions. This feeder finally did the trick for my 23 lb. cat and Diego is now down to 18 lbs. in less than 1-yr. Had tried other options for almost 6 years :) !. I had some initial trouble programming the two RFID tags for each feeder but got that figured out. Also, Diego (L) and Milo (R) were afraid of the feeder but Dr. Hexter and PortionPro were great at helping with ideas on adjustment. They now are totally adapted and each run to their feeder when it dispenses at the 6-times during the day. Thank you!!

I would like to RFID tag to have a replacement battery option and smaller if possible. Both of those would be ideal enhancements.

We have a new puppy and a senior dog. Trying to keep them out of each others food was a nightmare! I am soooo glad i decided to spend the money for 2 of these feeders. Money well spent!

I got one of these from my vet when my biggest fur baby was in a university weight loss study. Because of a brain injury that made daily life challenging, I was having trouble complying with the study guidelines-keeping 3 cats sequestered and on a schedule was too much for me. The PortionPro Rx was such a blessing. I added 2 more for the other kitties who were also getting chunky. Now all 3 look GREAT! My fattest cat went from 19 pounds to 12. I'm now fostering my mom's cat indefinitely, so he's acclimating to our 4th feeder. I'm thankful for the peace of mind the feeders provide. I don't have to worry about rushing home because they're going to be hungry or remember if they've already been fed. A regular measured dose helps them happy and fit. Also, I don't think I have ever experienced such impeccable customer service as I have from Dr. Hexter and Warren!

I’ve bought this feeder because I have 5 cats and one of my cat is on special diet. The feeder is always opened and get closed only for the cat with tag. Super helpful, I don’t need to think about hiding the food anymore. It works great, super easy and no problems. Love it!

We bought this item as recommended by a friend for our over weight cat. This feeder will feed her throughout the day in abortion chosen by us. Would highly recommend this feeder. It’s a little pricey, but worth the money!!

This has been a great diet plan for our dog. We have three dogs. Two eat like birds one like a lion. The lion lost 1/3 of his weight and now feels great. The two others have gained a little because good is now available. Great product.

We bought two, in a five cat household, where one cat needs medical food. They work like a charm. We keyed his collar to both feeders, the one (regular food) stays open unless he approaches, his own (medicated) opens when he comes near. The rest of the cats free feed from the open feeder. Works like a charm.

Great product, easy to clean. The one niggle is the sound of the doors moving, which could be made quieter, if one is sensitive to sound. We got used to it fast, as did the cats.

Buy without hesitation.

The automatic feeder works great! We bought 2 of them and have them on open mode with 1 cat allowed to eat from each one. They've learned which one they can eat from. We taped the device to their collars so they wouldn't get wet when they take a drink.

These are great! My one cat is on expensive prescription food which my other 2 cats loved and gorged themselves on. Now he has his own food and he’s protected from their horning in so he doesn’t eat too fast and vomit all the time. The other 2 have their own Portion Pro and they do very well with it.

I have 2 cats and one was getting severely overweight. It was hard for me to try to feed them separately and I didn't know who was actually eating what from the food bowl. This has served my needs exactly. I bought two machines, now I can precisely feed each cat. My overweight kitty is now slowly losing some weight. I have noticed he has more energy, sleeping less, and is playing more with the younger cat. They took to the machines instantly. I fed them manually for the first few days just so they knew where to go eat. Then I programmed the machines. I had no problems with them getting used to the machine's noise. After a couple weeks, they now know the sound of the machine dispensing food and go eat.

I recently adopted a second cat into my home. Both cats are incredibly food motivated and stole each other's meals as often as possible. Both also deal with weight issues (the older cat came to me incredibly overweight, the younger one was underweight).

The PortionPro ensures everyone gets the right amount of food and ONLY their own food. I keep both feeders set to open so the feeders only close when the "wrong" cat comes too close. The feeder is no louder than any of the automatic feeders I've utilized in the past and since the sounds mean food is coming, both cats positively associate with it and sprint into the room as soon as they hear it.

After realizing there was no way to get at each other's food, they stopped bothering each other's feeders. Feline relationships have even improved since implementing the new feeders!

I love my PortionPro: it's great not worrying about rushing home to feed the cats at a certain time and to know everyone is getting all of their food. Bowls are easy to lift out and clean. Because the food reservoirs are transparent, I can easily see when they are low on kibble and if I still miss it, a sensor beeps to alert me. The RFID tags are rather large for a cat, but incredibly lightweight: not even my smaller 8lb cat has an issue with it. (I've included a picture of the RFID tag on my smaller cat's collar.)

Highly recommend for anyone dealing with crazy schedules, pet weight issues, or food-motivated animals! Only recommended improvement at this time would be a smaller RFID tag for cats (in different colors, perhaps?) and to be able to change out the battery in the RFID tag so I don't need to purchase replacement tags.

We now own three of these feeders — one for each dog — as one has severe allergies and eats a prescription kibble, one is still a puppy, and one is just a healthy girl. This way, they each get the kibble they need and we don’t need to monitor them to ensure they don’t eat what they shouldn’t.

We have it set in the open mode for our collarless cats and it shuts when the chipped dogs come within three feet of the feeders. Having this set up has reduced our cat food bill. It really works well!

These are great and worth the cost. I am trying to get one cat to lose weight and the other to maintain. The feeders make sure that each cat is eating only their food. I can’t recommend these enough.

I have two cats on two separate prescription diets. Both on portion control because both are overweight. Works like a charm!!!

Your product is very impressive. Each of my Shepard’s have learned better eating habits and have lost weight. Highly recommend.

We purchased 2 feeders for our 2 cats approximately one month ago. We could not be happier with them. One of our cats had a habit of eating his brothers food, and had put on a bit of weight. We are happy to report, the feeders with the collars, are keeping our over eater on track to getting back in shape, in fact he's already lost about two pounds. It only took them a couple days to be completely used to using there own personal feeder. Also an added bonus, they no longer wake me up at 4am begging for food 😁. So now I am getting better sleep as well. These truly are a life saver.

I don't write reviews often but this product deserves one from our family. The issue was that our 9-year old male cat has kidney issues and is on a special diet--the food we get him actually increases appetite, which is fine as he is thin. Our other kitty, a 4-year old, had gotten fat from eating too much of the kidney diet food. I tried to feed them different kibbles but it was impossible. Further, the fat cat will sit and eat a ton when the bowl is full. The old cat likes to nibble all day--but the fat cat was eating all the food. So cat feeding was stressful and there was lots of begging and trying to get one cat to eat less and one to eat more, etc.

I had seen auto feeders but I knew that the fat cat would just push the old cat out of the way and eat his food. So that this system closes the feeding dish when the wrong cat approaches it is genius. It works perfectly for us and we've had it for a few months.

This is what we did--we bought two feeders, put one in kitchen and one in dining room and put them both on the Open bowl mode. So each cat can eat out of his/her bowl whenever they please. But, if fat cat goes to eat old cat's food, the dish closes. We were worried that the 10 seconds to close time would mean fat cat could eat a good amount but it happens when the wrong cat is within a few feet of the feeder so that she doesn't even get a chance before the lid closes. Putting the feeders far away from each other and on Open mode were the tricks for us. We have no more begging for food, they don't paw at our faces at 5 am for feedings, and they are each getting their separate kibble--Kidney rX and weightloss. We never have to feed them or worry about it. The only small issue we've had is that our older cat spends a lot of time at his water bowl and we had his collar too loose so the chip thing stopped working. We ordered another one and tightened his collar and it's fine now. Yes, they are expensive, but for our family they are worth their weight in ...

While skeptical at first, I’m sold! I have two obese cats that spend their whole day trying to find and steal food. Three cats need diet food and two need GI sensitive. It took about two weeks to acclimate everyone to new Portion Pro feeders and locations, but everyone is more peaceful and starting to shed some weight where needed. Buying five feeders was a huge investment I kept putting off, but am now glad I made the jump. Husband is happy to not be pestered an hour before feeding time every morning.

First thing - follow the directions on how to get your animals used to the feeders. We did not and that caused no small amount of difficulty for the first 3-4 days. But, they have all gotten used to them and now run to the feeders when they go off instead of running in terror from the sound. The dog no longer can eat the cat food and the one cat can no longer pig out and eat both cats’ food. Hopefully, we will be able to have the one cat lose some weight now. There was no real hope of that before. We also were able to go away for a few days and just had someone come by the house once a day to check on everybody. It was nice to know they would continue to get fed properly. I believe we will make back the cost of the feeders with lower vet bills as our one cat gets healthier.

I had to buy three of these things. My new kitten had some issues with free feeding and so did my other two cats because the new guy ate most of their food. Now fat kitty boy is getting a waste and my other two can eat when they want. I have five animals and I set my feeders up so that I have two cats on one, fat kitty on his own and two small dogs on another (fat kitty boy had no qualms about eating dog food if that's all that was available). After some getting used to the feeders, everyone is very happy and no one feels cheated. Would recommend for any multi-cat/multi-pet households. The price is worth it.

The PortionPro does exactly what it's made for! My cat was able to acclimate to it easily. The tag is larger than I was expecting, but my cat doesn't seem to mind it. If you have an animal that requires a special diet, and especially if you have other animals that try to eat it's food, definitely buy this feeder!

We have 2 beagles. One is an elderly male and has been free range eating without any issues since he was a puppy.
The other is a younger female that we rescued. She had a hard life and will eat any food if she can catch it.
No mater how much food was given to both dogs she would eat it. Our older male was actually losing too much weight and the female had the shape of a watermelon.
We tried separating them and feeding them at scheduled times but this upset the male and he stopped eating altogether and lost even more weight.
I then did some online searching and found the PortionPro feeders.
These solved both issues. I purchased 2 feeders. One for our male can free range again and the other for our female to keep her from over eating. I run the males in open mode so he would not be discouraged from going to his bowl whenever he wanted. The radio tags keeps the female from stealing his food and only eating her proper amount
Thanks to the PortionPro feeders both of our dogs are getting back to a proper weight

I have three cats one is on a very special diet for allergies. He has been waking me up at 4 a.m. everyday for the past 5 years to eat. After 3 days of having these feeders all of my cats are eating on their own. For the first time in 5 years I'm getting a full night's sleep and it is because of these feeders!!! And my cats are healthier from eating 6 times a day. I love these feeders. I would recommend them to any pet owner.
