Can this be programmed to open based on a RFID implanted microchip? I have a dog and cat and my cat will not wear a collar.

Thank you for your question! The Passport™ Door is designed to work with the Passport Keys™ and cannot be activated by an RFID microchip.

Yes, any standard IC chips work. Mine were implanted by a British vet in Afghanistan and they worked perfectly, and that's probably the extreme! Cats did not like being held next to the flap while it registered their chips (unsurprisingly) but it only took a moment.

The reader reads the chip instantly, so they don't have to wait in front of the door for it to work. It unlocks as the cat puts their head to the door to push it open. So I would think it would work for you.

Unfortunately I can't answer your question definitively. These small ones were put in small places; we have some larger ones that do activate when our cat comes up to the front or back door....my husband thinks they probably have about the same range. I'd just try it; you can always take it down and put in another place if it causes a problem with the dog.

It shouldn't be any problem, after they use it once and you program it and put in a mess calling your dog to the feeder. I used it for my cat and it worked great. It is a littly tricky to program the first time but once you get the hang of it it is fine.

Hello! Any pet will be able to exit your home through this Microchip Pet Door. When entering your home, the cat will need to put their head/shoulders into the tunnel of the pet door so that it can read their chip. The scanning device is located in the top of the tunnel, so it needs to be able to scan downward to read the chip that should be located at the top of your cat's shoulders! I hope this helped!

I've read that some people claim they've gotten this to work, but it did not work for us. We use the tag on the collar. It was pretty funny to though watching me trying to hold the cat close to this door to try to program her implanted chip - like you're at the self check out and the scanner won't read the bar code no matter how much you wave the cat back and forth in front of it;-)

I have mine on sets of keys. You need to have the base unit close to the chip for it to work well. The sound is not very loud. I don't know how well it would work on pets but you could certainly try it.

Nope. It opens with any of this companies collars. There is no 'coding'between the collar and the door. But...the company is close to releasing a Bluetooth version. While I have not specifically asked the question, I'd safely assume that version will do what you are looking for.

The unit comes with 2 tags on small key rings. All I did was pick up a couple collars at petco. It took a couple of tries with one cat having never worn a collar. You are also able to order 2 more (different frequency) tags from the seller to support up to 4 pets. The tag needs to hang down. The range is very limited. In order for the feeder to read the tag it must be placed directly in front of the bowl. In most cases I have seen it has to be close enough to make contact with the feeder.

If you tape one of the programmed round RFID tags to the inside of the transparent cat flap, the door will think a cat is constantly present and act accordingly. This means you can use the timer mode to allow any cat (or other animal!) in or out at selected hours, without requiring any of the cats to have an ID tag or microchip. This has worked for us for 3 years with no apparent problems.

Yes I think a cat can open the door as the magnets are not too overpowering. My cat went in and out of our old dog door and it was more difficult to go through. This door should not be a problem for your kitties!

Yes, very easy to use, just make sure the correct channel is lit up with the little blue light or it won't send the signal to the correct collar.

Yes, it works with the same collars. We use this to keep the cat in at night. We have to make sure the dogs' collars are off before we plug it in.

SUREFLAP is coming out with a new door that reads the microchip in both directions, Right now, the microchip feature only works in one direction. 32 cats can be programed into the system. ONE OF MY CATS, was microchiped twice at the rescue and she can not use the door.

Yes you can. I have a ragdoll mix cat and she is not allowed to go out either. We have the PetSafe SmartDoor and it works great. It was pretty easy to train our dog to use it too.
