Can I put the tag on my dog to keep him out of the cat food instead of putting them on the 3 cats?

I did something similar. I put the tag on my chubby cat and leave the feeder open all the time. He is not supposed to eat the food in the feeder so it closes when he comes up to it.

the problem is that there is a 2-3 second delay while the screen displays a 'sorry!' message before the doors close, meaning every minute when the doors open again they just steal another mouthful of food. Useless. My cats don't read English -_- going to have to use Advanced Mode and buy more f'ing rfid tags.

Yes provided the dog is less than 18 inches tall. If the dog is taller then you need to pet tags on the cats and keep the doors closed using the Advanced door control setting. This will prevent a dog of any size accessing the bowl. The Advanced mode will also prevent the doors reopening again, which is what happens if you select Automatic. Therefore the Advanced setting is the best for keeping out unwanted pets.

Yes you can, the feeder will close whenever the dog tries to eat. However all of the weight and diet control capabilities for your cats would be not be activated, so this is not generally recommended.

If you want the dog to go out but not the cats, better to buy a selective flap door for dogs, not for cats. If you don't want to let the cats out you just don't use the magnetic or electronic collar on the cats, only the dog's. If the door is going to be used by a dog, there are special doors designed for dogs. Yet, you should rethink your intentions... remember that the cats are too much more independent than dogs. Unless you are afraid that the cats are going to get lost or robbed, consider letting your cats to take a walk around. Is good for them. Good luck!

I honestly would not do it on a cat . I attempted this on my dogs paw as directed and he yelped quite a bit. Plus I didn't get enough blood out for the test. I am a nurse btw. I just think you should just let the vet do it. I say this because you have to handle your pet every day , do their nails etc. You wouldn't want them fearful of you handling their paws, especially the cat.

I don't think that would work. The collar would irritate the cat's neck too much. I believe the directions also tell you not to do that.

I asked the person I bought this for and he said yes you can but if you have a dog that bite the tags on his collar then it will be in you best interest not to put it on the collar.

I would most certainly say it's more suited for a family with a dog or maybe family with more than 2 cats. This product is much bigger in person than photo depicts. The only thing that may interfere with it being used for dog food is the size of the pellets; but, even still shouldn't be a problem. I recommend this product even though it is unnecessary for my 1 cat family...I'm extremely satisfied and more importantly my cat loves it lol.

Not really. The food is availble at all times and flows freely as your pet eats. My cats use their paws to rake the food out if the flow isn't consistent. I hope this helps.

(I have the extra large size for our Newfoundlands.) If it were a strong cat, yes. The magnets hold the two heavy, plastic flaps down. I don't have a cat, but I imagine it would be difficult but possible if that cat is determined.

I've read that some people claim they've gotten this to work, but it did not work for us. We use the tag on the collar. It was pretty funny to though watching me trying to hold the cat close to this door to try to program her implanted chip - like you're at the self check out and the scanner won't read the bar code no matter how much you wave the cat back and forth in front of it;-)

I imagine you could use different pads but I am sure they won't mask the smell like the Tidy cats do, you could use different pellets also, but the tidy cat pellets last a long time!!

Yes, but it's not as easy as getting in a regular cat box. I have the box in one room and now a pet gate across the door to that room so the cat has to hop the gate to use his box. Anything to try to keep my dogs from eating the cat poop...ewwww

We bought this item specifically for that purpose: to let one cat come and go as he pleases and keep the other from doing so. All you have to do is put the magnet on the cat who you want to be able to come and go freely and put no magnet on the other cat.

Yes, but it best be for an awfully big cat! As already mentioned it may be too wide for a cat collar. This is stiff metal where it can't be bent while it wouldn't conform to a cat's smaller neck. I wouldn't use it on a small diameter cat collar and try searching for a smaller tag. Good luck!

Hello, Lana - I don't have a dog but we do have 4 cats. I ordered the purple one (labeled for cats) for our cats. Their weights are 14 lbs., 12 lbs., 10 lbs. and 9 lbs. I can tell you that the purple one is pretty large (larger than I thought it would be). Based on my cats' weight, I'd suggest you purchase the one for cats. P.S. Our cats do use it and it has helped tremendously with eating too fast and getting chubby.

I don't see why it shouldn't. If you have the collar with the rope, give it a firm yank as soon as the pup starts with the cat(s).

Yes! What I do is take narrow strips of duct tape and wrap the tag where the strip is not on the inside of the collar. That way it is on the skin and not on the outside of the collar at all. It saves a world of problems! Good luck!

I don't see why not. I think the heat only turns on when the cat/dog lays on it. So, it's off when they are away. It has a removable cover that can be washed. It does say that if you have an animal that chews on things, do NOT get it.
