1. SureFlap Microchip
The cat flap SureFlap has a microchip entrance control, so that unwanted cat visits are no longer possible. The own cat must be chiped with an ID chip, which is used by veterinarians in Europe. After the installation of the flap it must be trained. As soon as the cat goes through the flap, the unique ID code is stored. From now on, the SureFlap opens when the cat wants to enter the house.

2. SureFlap Connect
The SureFlap pet flap is the intelligent solution for protecting your home. The pet flap only lets cats into the house whose implanted identification microchip has been saved.

Also ideal for garden sheds, garages, barns, etc., so that your pet has a protected place to sleep or access to food and water.
