SureFlap Microchip Pet Door Connect Without Hub - Flap Opening is 6 3/4 inches by 7 inches

This pet door changed my life. I had a bad raccoon problem and would either have to lock the cat in for the night or leave the old cat door open but put away the food. I could never stay at my boyfriend’s house because I had to manage the animal situation.Now...No more raccoons in my kitchen: my cat no longer feels violated, I’m not feeding the wild kingdom, cleaning up after them, and worrying about them finding the guinea pigs in the bedroom.My cat is thrilled! He can come and go when he pleases and own the neighborhood .I can sleep! My cat no longer wakes me up at 5am to be let outside or because the raccoons have eaten all his food. I’m not wandering the neighborhood trying to find him and lock him up in the evening.I can go away for a night and not worry! The app tells me that my cat made it inside safely and so far no tailgaters!Thank you so much for inventing this amazing pet door!!! So worth every penny to buy and professionally install in my wall.

I HATE this door! If you are thinking about buying it, be sure that your cat doesn’t mind pushing really, really hard against the door. It does not open easily and my three cats just won’t push that hard. They put their paws through it but are defeated with how forcefully it pushes back. They don’t understand pushing their head against something so hard to open. I mean, who would.It’s not necessary for the functionality of the features for the door to be so frustratingly difficult to open. There is no training mode where the suction effect is turned off so no easy way to train them to go through the door using treats. Treats only work if they can smell them and get their head close to the treat. In order to do this you have to hold the door open which defeats the purpose of trying to get them to get used to pushing through it.I hate, hate, hate it. Total waste of money for me. I have to tape it open to get them to come in. This is getting them used to feeling the door on their backs, but when I have the door taped that low, they can’t get out. Plus, it doesn’t teach them to push hard against the door.This door SUCKS!!! I wish I had been able to get it installed earlier, but unfortunately, my handyman wasn’t available until after the 30 day return window closed or I’d return it in a heartbeat.The main reason I wanted this door instead of the flap door I was using that allowed any animal to come in and out was to keep an outdoor semi-feral cat that I TNR’d out of the house. She picks on my girls, fights with them and they don’t like her. Well, let me just say taping the door open doesn’t keep her out and, because it’s see through and the last one was opaque, she’s even less afraid to come in through this door.All in all, we spent probably $500 dollars on this door: hub, door, wall tunnel and installation.I read the other reviews where people said that their cat just refused to push through it. I thought because my cats were already used to a cat door that the resistance of this door wouldn’t be a deterrent. I WAS WRONG. So very wrong.I’ve spent hours with high value treats: Churu, freeze-dried minnows, fish, but it’s very difficult to entice them when the door has to be closed and the treat is on one side and they are on the other.The scanner works okay, but if you have to tape the door open for training purposes it doesn’t tell you who came in and who went out.So now I have a hole in my wall, an unhappy husband, $500 dollars gone that I didn’t really have and less security than I had before. I thought it would be great to have a door that keeps out unwanted cats and has a curfew so that a cat sitter wouldn’t have to manually close/lock the door, but right now, this set up is not going to work for a cat sitter.I can’t say this enough, I HATE, this door. If you buy it, install it immediately and start trying to train your cats to go through it immediately so that you are able to return it if your cats refuse to push through it.I’ll probably have it removed and try to sell it on eBay, or something, but I’m sure I’ll take a bath.I had to give this review at least one star, but if not for the rules it would get no stars. I’m so angry right now. Why not have a training mode people?

Love this pet door, my cats quickly adapted to using it. I really like being able to control when they can go out

After 3 months I finally made the time to installed it, using the hub and phone app. Well I am happy to say that I have a peace of mind.The door locks based on the time that I entered to lock and unlock in the mornings - my puppy knows she can't go out in the night. I was worried if my puppy is outside will she be locked out but it works my puppy is able to get in the house safe (big relief)I also get the notification on my phone when they come and go (1 puppy learned to use it in 1 minute, the other puppy took about 2 days (I just had to stand by and say "go" and she got the drill).With winter and darker days I don't have to run home to lock the doggie door anymore and my puppies are safe - yeahhhh.I would like to have the notification to be a different sound (not a meow) I rather have a puppy sound alert.The font the on the phone app to be black and bigger font ( right now it is gray and small font) that is all
