It is suitable for both wet and dry food, making it ideal for pets on regulated or prescription diets. The fully enclosed design of the MiBowl prevents other pets from accessing food from the rear or sides during feeding. With a compact footprint, quiet operation, and a natural feeding position, the MiBowl is easy to set up and keeps food fresh and pest-free throughout the day. The MiBowl comes with removable portion-protecting clips and can be programmed for up to 10 cats or small dogs.
The Closer Pets MiBowl is an automatic microchip pet feeder designed for cats and small dogs, providing controlled access to food for pets on specific diets or those who need portion control. It uses microchip technology to identify each pet, ensuring only the intended animal can access the food. While the MiBowl is excellent for single-pet households or those with multiple pets on specific diets, it requires each pet to have a microchip for the access control to function correctly.
