SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Flap

We are quite disappointed by the functionality, I wish you could give each pet a separate rule (pet A: in and out, pet B: in only). Unfortunately still an all or nothing. We have one kitten (that would need to get in if it runs out) and a grown up cat (in/out whenever he wants). door works perfectly well if you are ok with limited options.

This is excellent, as is Sureflaps customer service. The first one didn't work properly so Sureflaps replaced it and paid to have it re-fitted. Replacement works like a dream. Standard size just fits my female Maine Coon. Can't recommend this highly enough.

I was not sure such a complex thing could work so well but it does. My nervous cat finds it fine to use and no other cats get in. However it was quite difficult and expensive to fit to my brick wall. I needed to purchase 5 of the expensive tunnel extensions and also the mounting adaptor which is needed to screw the cat flap onto the wall. But worth it in the end.

I am so pleased and relieved to have found a solution to our intruder cat problems. In particular, the cat next door liked to come in and steal our cat's food and also our food! Our cat stood and watched with an anxious look on his face. My reduced bill for cat food (halved) is already paying for our new cat flap!

Works just as described. All the cats got used to the feeders very quickly. All it took was putting their favourite pouch inside and letting them sniff it. They knew it was there, just had to figure out how to get to it. A couple of times they jumped when the lid opened, but their desire for their favourite pouch was stronger. There's no smell of food at all in the flat. I already have 3 feeders for cats on different diets (one tomcat on urinary, another tomcat on no special diet, and two cats on gastrointestinal).

Easy to install. Works well. It's a shame there doesn't seem to be a LARGE version available.

We've been looking for days now because the hatch's post-installation programming isn't working when our cat wants to come in 🤢

Now on our third cat flap in five years. At first it works fine, but after about a year and a half it starts draining the batteries. Now I have to replace the batteries every day.

I’m writing this even though I don’t think you’re as silly as I am... I tried out the cat flap in my old house before moving and everything was fine. In the new place, as soon as I installed it on the glass door, I realised it stuck out too much and stopped the shutter from coming down. Even though it was clearly written not to drill or cut the cat flap, I did it anyway, and of course I ended up cutting the circuits and now it doesn’t work anymore (it doesn’t recognise the microchip).

A cat from outside pulls the flap to the side with its claws to open it and slips into the house. It has damaged the felt around the cat door. Problem with no solution!..

I’ve just installed the cat flap. I already had the Hub because I bought the “smart bowl”, which I have to say I was really happy with. However, this system was installed in a newly built house with an A+++ energy rating, and it was very disappointing to discover that there’s no insulation at all. I installed several extension pieces, since my wall is 30cm thick plus the insulation layer. Air gets into the tunnel and comes through the flap. Terrible.

The flap was easy enough to install and programme, but it’s useless. The cats learned to pick the lock within a week, whether it was locked in one direction, both, or completely. I specifically wanted this feature so I could programme which cat goes in and out and when. As just an ordinary cat flap, the product is expensive and clumsy.

The cat flap only worked for a couple of weeks before it stopped reading the chip. We've had the chip checked by the vet and it's sitting perfectly readable in the cat's neck. We've also changed the batteries, but that didn't help. This is the second cat flap we've had that has stopped working.
