Freedom for Your Feline Friend: The SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Door

Imagine this: your cat, Whiskers, enjoys the freedom of exploring the outdoors, basking in the sun, and chasing butterflies. But you worry about unwanted feline visitors or neighborhood critters invading your home. Traditional cat doors offer a solution, but they often come with drawbacks – unwanted guests, security concerns, and limited control over your cat’s comings and goings. Enter the SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Door, a technological marvel that grants your cat the freedom they crave while giving you peace of mind.

The Evolution of the Cat Door: From Simple Flaps to Microchip Mastery

Cat doors have a surprisingly long history, evolving alongside our relationship with our feline companions. Early iterations were simple openings, often just a hole in a door or window covered with a piece of cloth. These provided basic access but offered little control over who or what came and went.

The next stage saw the introduction of spring-loaded doors and magnetic flaps. These offered some improvement, preventing drafts and deterring larger intruders. However, they still fell short in terms of security and selectivity. A determined raccoon or a neighborhood cat could easily bypass these mechanisms.

The desire for a more sophisticated solution, coupled with advancements in technology, led to the development of the microchip cat door. This innovation revolutionized the concept of pet access, offering a level of security and control never before seen.

Understanding Microchip Technology

At the heart of the SureFlap DualScan lies microchip technology. But what exactly is a microchip, and how does it work?

A microchip is a tiny integrated circuit, about the size of a grain of rice, that is implanted under your cat’s skin. This microchip contains a unique identification number that can be read by a special scanner. When your cat approaches the SureFlap DualScan, an RFID reader in the door scans for this unique ID. If the ID matches one that has been programmed into the door, the door unlocks, granting your cat access.

This technology eliminates the need for collars or tags, which can be lost or uncomfortable for your cat. It also ensures that only your cat can enter and exit, preventing unwanted guests from invading your home.

The DualScan Advantage

The SureFlap DualScan takes microchip technology a step further with its innovative DualScan feature. This means the door reads your cat’s microchip on both entry and exit. Why is this important?

DualScan technology gives you unprecedented control over your cat’s movements. You can set individual permissions for each of your cats, allowing some to come and go freely while keeping others indoors. This is particularly beneficial in multi-cat households where one cat may need to stay indoors due to health reasons or if you have an “escape artist” who needs to be kept from venturing out.

SureFlap DualScan - A Comprehensive Solution

The SureFlap DualScan Microchip Cat Door is more than just a fancy entryway for your cat; it’s a comprehensive solution designed with your cat’s safety and your peace of mind in mind:

Microchip Compatibility

The SureFlap DualScan is compatible with all common microchips worldwide. This means you don’t have to worry about whether your cat’s existing microchip will work with the door. If your cat isn’t microchipped, you can purchase an RFID collar tag separately.

Selective Entry and Exit

With DualScan technology, you can set individual permissions for each cat, giving you complete control over who comes and goes. This is particularly useful for keeping kittens indoors, preventing escape artists from venturing out, or managing cats with medical conditions that require restricted access.

Curfew Mode

Want to keep your cat indoors at night? The curfew mode allows you to set specific times when the door locks and unlocks, ensuring your cat is safely tucked inside during designated hours.

Anti-Pinch Technology

With its infrared sensors and slow-closing mechanism, the SureFlap DualScan prevents your cat from getting pinched or injured while using the door. This feature ensures a safe and comfortable experience for even the most hesitant of felines.

Secure Locking Mechanism

The microchip recognition system acts as an electronic lock, preventing unauthorized entry by stray animals or wildlife. You can also manually lock the door to keep your cat indoors when needed, providing an extra layer of security.

Battery Powered

The SureFlap DualScan is battery-powered, offering convenience and flexibility. No need to worry about messy wires or finding an electrical outlet. The batteries typically last for up to a year with normal use.

Easy Programming

Programming the cat door is a breeze. Simply press the learn button, hold your cat near the scanner, and voilà! Your cat’s microchip is registered and ready to go.
