Cat flaps and pet doors are an essential accessory in many pet households, as they give your cat or dog the freedom to roam. But what if you could combine this with smart features such as selective entry, remote control or activity tracking? Meet the SureFlap Connect range: smart solutions for safer, happier pets.
Is the SureFlap Connect range right for you?
While traditional pet doors are perfectly fine, and may be all you need, the smart features in the SureFlap Microchip Cat Flap Connect and SureFlap Microchip Pet Door Connect can make your and your pet’s life easier and more enjoyable, especially in the following situations:
Multi‑pet homes
If you have multiple cats or small dogs, the Connect models are a standout solution. They offer selective entry (thanks to their microchip-reading technology), allowing only registered pets to enter and exit.
Safety-conscious owners
As the SureFlap Connect only opens for registered pets, it keeps out neighbouring pets and unwanted intruders easily and effortlessly. You can also set curfews, ensuring your pet stays indoors at night, during extreme weather or events such as fireworks.
Owners often away from home
If you’re often away for work or travel, the ability to lock/unlock the flap remotely, set curfews, and receive notifications about your pet’s activity, offers extra security and peace of mind. It ensures your pet stays safe when necessary, yet still enjoys outdoor time when it’s safe to do so.
Owners monitoring their pet’s health
The app records your pet’s comings and goings, compiling activity logs and behaviour trends. This can help you spot changes early. For example, decreased activity could indicate a health issue, especially in older pets.
