When adding your pet's microchip ID into the Microchip Pet Feeder Connect, make sure all
other pets and any unrequired collar tags are kept out of the way.
Adding your pet to the Feeder
To program a pet's microchip ID, sensors located in the hoop of the Feeder must detect the pet’s
presence. Therefore it's important to ensure your pet places their head through the hoop to eat.
If you need to, you can cancel the ‘Add a
pet’ mode at any time with a second press
of the ‘Add a pet’ ( ) button.
When your pet moves away, the lid will
close and the green LED will turn off. Their
microchip ID is now permanently stored.

To program a Sure Petcare RFID Collar Tag, simply follow the steps above but hold the collar tag
inside the hoop. Make sure you are not wearing any metal jewellery when programming a collar tag.
If you already have a pet in your Sure Petcare household, it is possible to assign them to the Feeder.
Go to the Household section of the app. If you add the wrong pet by mistake you can always correct
it here.
Setting Portions
The Microchip Pet Feeder Connect not only monitors when and what your pet has been
eating, it can also help you to provide accurate portions each time you feed your pet.
How to set the portion weight in the app
You can set the portion weight in the Sure Petcare app. Once set, this
amount is sent to the Feeder so it knows how much food you want to
give your pet per serving.
The portion indicator lights on the Feeder will then guide you as food
is added, to ensure the correct portion is given. The lights represent
the amount of food added,
see page 18
for more information.
Why should you portion your pet's food?
Could your pet benefit from losing a few pounds? By setting a
portion weight you can ensure you’re not accidentally giving them
too much food every day. It all adds up!
The ability to weigh out portions of food directly into the Feeder
makes it quicker, easier and more convenient to ensure your pet is
eating the correct amount.
How much should you feed your pet?
It can be difficult to know how much is the right amount for your
pet, especially when there is so much choice. We recommend
consulting your vet or animal health advisor to see what they
recommend.
Alternatively, stick to the guidelines provided on the packaging by
the pet food manufacturer. This information is normally a good
guide for average, healthy pets.
