Reviewers praise
  • Microchip recognition prevents unauthorized animals from entering
  • App allows remote locking and unlocking of the door
  • Curfew setting controls when pets can leave
Reviewers push back
  • Hub is sold separately and required for full smart functionality
  • Flap opening is too small for larger dogs
  • Installation requires cutting a large hole in the door
A reliable microchip pet door with effective app control and solid construction, but requires a separate hub for smart features and suits only smaller pets.
— best for: Pet owners with small cats or dogs who want remote monitoring and control over their pet's access and are willing to purchase additional hardware.

Cat flap installed and now been in operation over one month. It is genuinely one of the best purchases I have made in ages. It is an expensive item but it is worth it because of the superb quality and the peace of mind it provides to me knowing my cats are safe and I am able to track their activity. It is a sturdy door that my cats do not struggle to enter or exit via but it definitely stops other Elle · surepetcare.com
