Secure Entry and Freedom for Your Pets
Traditional pet doors allow your dog or cat to go outside, but they also open your home to unwanted visitors like stray cats, raccoons, or rodents. A smart microchip pet door uses RFID technology to read your pet’s existing microchip, unlocking only for them. Here is how to choose and set up a smart pet door.
Key Features to Look For
- Microchip Compatibility: Ensure the door reads standard 15-digit microchips (FDX-B).
- App Control: Systems like the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door Connect allow you to lock the door remotely or set curfew schedules.
- Activity Tracking: Get notifications whenever your pet enters or exits the house.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Program your pet’s microchip into the door’s memory before installing it.
- Install the door into a wall, wooden door, or glass door using the manufacturer’s mounting templates.
- Connect the door’s bridge or hub to your router.
- Use treats to guide your pet through the door so they get used to the clicking sound of the lock releasing.
