Why it matters
The Microchip Pet Door is SureFlap's larger door: a 6 11/16 in by 7 in opening for big cats and small dogs. It reads 9, 10 and 15-digit microchips to keep other animals out.
It scans on entry only. Four C batteries last up to 12 months, and it fits doors, windows or walls with accessories.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Larger opening
- Reads common chips
- Year-long batteries
Cons
- Entry-only
- Larger cut-out
- Batteries extra
Limitations to weigh
- Measure your cat's widest point and the door or wall thickness before cutting; check the cut-out size on the maker's template.
- Confirm your cat's microchip number and standard before buying; a vet or a scanner can read it.
- Prop the flap open for the first days and reward your cat for using it; most cats learn within a week.
