4. Microchip Type
The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door is compatible with all microchips commonly used for pets.
Specifically this includes:
•
15-digit microchips (also known as FDXB)
•
10-digit microchips (also known as FDXA and Trovan
•
9-digit microchips (also known as Avid
In addition to this the pet door is also compatible with the SureFlap RFID Collar Tag (one
included - packs of two sold separately).
Extensive tests have shown that the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door works perfectly with the vast
majority of microchips. However a very small percentage of pets have a microchip without the
required range for the pet door. In these rare cases please contact our customer service team
for further assistance.
If permanent changes to a door or wall are required for installation we strongly advise
testing the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door with your pet(s) first. In order to test that it
works with your pet(s) please carry out both the learn process (see section 6) and
then test normal operation (see section 9).
5. The SureFlap RFID Collar Tag
We recommend microchipping over the use of collar mounted tags, as microchips are a
permanent form of identification that cannot become lost.
However, if your pet is not, or cannot, be microchipped and you choose to use the SureFlap
RFID Collar Tag, for cats you should always use a safety collar that has a breakaway buckle.
The SureFlap RFID Collar Tag is a small, lightweight tag that can be attached directly to your
pet's collar. Like microchips, each collar tag has a unique code, to prevent any non-resident
pets, strays or wild animals from entering your home.
One collar tag is included in the box. Additional SureFlap RFID Collar Tags are available via
the SureFlap website or from SureFlap retail and veterinary stockists.
