#Sureflap microchip cat feeder reviews how to

One cat took a day to work it all out and how to use it, how hard to push etc. Had issues with one cat's chip not registering and customer service were very responsive and gave me detailed instructions on how to set the sensitivity of the chip reader which worked. Read more led it into a piece of wood, which sits in the tracks of a sliding window in the laundry.

#Sureflap microchip cat feeder reviews plus

This has saved such a hassle, plus I don't have to get out of bed at 6am to let them out. I live in Victoria and our local council has a dusk to dawn curfew, so getting them in at night has always been a priority. I love the fact that one cat can come in after curfew but not out again. Curfew mode working well - although they get a bit confused in the mornings and think it's still locked. Love the app - especially when I'm out and can see where the cats are and when they come in. The larger door is also apparently for small dogs, I'd like to see the upper limit on the dog size you could actually get to go through this tiny hole, I'm guessing maybe a large Chihuaha?īought the microchip pet door connect with the hub. BTW, don't be fooled by the larger product they offer, it's barely any bigger (5cm larger on the longest axis) and the other 2 issues still persist. So, in short there are 3 major flaws with this product & I'd strongly recommend you don't buy one - stick with the simple lockable pet door at a substantially larger size and just manage the animal's access a little better.

He tries it on a regular basis but shies away every time and given that it has been installed for almost a year now, I don't think he's getting used to it as some have stated their cats have done. Also, the noise from the door release mechanism is so loud it frightens the animal and our cat adamantly refuses to enter.

The door is ridiculously small, even for a small cat it's a super-tight squeeze and the built-in (non-removable) small tunnel section is too long for a simple step through, the cat has to partially crawl at significant extension & with the micro-size opening, it's extremely difficult to get their back l.

While the microchip reader works perfectly, recognising my cat's chip easily & reliably, unfortunately that is where the good news stops. The specifically titled 'Cat Door' is mis-labelled, it should be called the hamster or possibly snake door.
