What Is a Microchip Feeder and Why It’s a Game-Changer for Multi-Pet Homes

Microchip pet feeders have become one of the most popular types of automatic pet feeders on the market. Though despite its growing popularity, many pet parents are still unaware of how these feeders function and the benefits that it can provide. For feeders such as the PawsPik Automatic Microchip RFID Pet Feeder, its features help to ensure that feeding time for your furry friends has never been easier. 

How does it work? 

RFID Microchip Pet Feeders work by scanning the embedded microchip under your pet's skin to either grant or deny them access to the food. 


In the pet world, there are three different types of microchips that a pet can be chipped with: 125 kHz, 128 kHz, and 134.2 kHz. Depending on the scanner the frequency can affect which types of microchips it is able to detect. For feeders such as the PawsPik Automatic Microchip RFID Pet Feeder, only microchips with frequencies of 134.2 kilohertz (commonly referred to as ISO standard) are able to be scanned by the feeder. 

Unlike other feeders such as slow feeders, or gravity feeders, the PawsPik Smart pet feeder features built-in app control which makes managing pet feedings easier than ever! Through our integrated app control, you can schedule your pets mealtimes so that they receive food only at the designated times. You can also control portion sizes to guarantee that your furry friend is only receiving the exact portion sizes you want. 


These features in conjunction with our RFID access control make this feeder a must have tool for managing your pet’s diet. The PawsPik Automatic Microchip RFID Pet Feeder is especially handy for preventing food theft amongst pets.


One of the biggest struggles that multi-pet households face is the issue of food stealing amongst pets. This can be especially harmful if one of the pets is on a prescription diet or is attempting to reduce weight issues. Our programmable pet feeder provides a solution to this problem with our RFID detection system. Whether your cat is microchipped, or wears one of our new Automatic RFID Microchip Tags, as long as they have some form of chip identification on them, they will be able to be recognized as either the approved or unapproved pet when they approach the feeder. Whenever the approved pet approaches, they will be able to receive access to their food. However, when the unapproved pet approaches, the feeder door will close, effectively stopping any food theft amongst pets. 


Features such as our in-app control, portioning and scheduling capabilities make our feeder a game changer for the pet feeding industry. Especially for pet parents that may be questioning whether or not a microchip feeder is the right purchase for their household. Investing in the PawsPik Automatic Microchip RFID Pet Feeder is one of the smartest investments you can make your furry friend right now as our pet feeder is a one-of-a-kind product, capable of solving all your mealtime dilemmas with the touch of a button!
