Customers Say
The microchip cat flap effectively keeps unwanted cats out while allowing your own pets easy access. However, some users report issues with noise and installation challenges, which may deter some cats from using it.

Pet safe Microchip Cat Flap
Bought the last cat flap in Argos Cavan, sadly you no longer in the South was constantly in the store. Lucky I don’t have to travel too far. Service always good

Great cat flap
Easy to set up with our cat's microchips. Straightforward to install into a UPVC door.

Good piece of kit. Cat happy!
Purchased cat flap. Install was ok. Nervous that I was cutting a hole in the door if the cat would not use it ! Luckily with a bit of ham and coaxing she does use it. Sync with Cat chip was easy. Fluff around outside of plastic door is ok therefore does not let too much cold in. Make sure you measure cat height before drilling hole in door. Make sure you can use jigsaw to cuts straight and has the correct blade for your door. I used white silicone to fill the holes and gaps. Would recommend.

Does what it says on the tin. Recommended.
Bought the same cat flap we had put in 18 months ago. The last one stopped working and we like the functionality of reading the cats chip. It's not smart which is a downside, but it works well for what it does.

Cat flap
Brilliant let’s cats back on without letting other cats into the house

Works a Treat.
Bought this to replace manual cat flap as neighbour's cat kept coming in and eating my cat's food and causing fights. My husband fitted to existing hole and it was very easy to register his chip. What I did like was being able to check on website that chip and flap were compatible before buying because he has a Spanish chip - which they were!

Chip cat flap
It's been in for about a month now and my cat will go out using it but will not come in as it is extremely noisy and it scares her, but it was easy to set up and it has stopped a neighbourhood cat coming in but also stopped my own fur baby. Am still persevering though trying to tempt her through with treats. The size is a little small as well so would definitely check your cats size first as ours is a small cat and only just fits really

Perfect cat flap
Great for keeping unwanted animals out due to microchip function. Multi operation functions. Can be costly on batteries if your cat sits next to it outside and keeps setting it off!!! Wouldn’t be without it.

Keep other cats out
My cat was really spooked by other cats coming into the house through the old cat flap. This one has stopped that, making him much happier. He did take a little time to get used to the new noise, but food and a bit of gentle encouragement did the trick in one day.

Hello DPB,
The supplier has advised the following for the PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap:
“ The tunnel is 72 mm long and cannot be shortened as it contains the scanning coil to read the microchip. Fitting it through a 60 mm inuslated timber door should be no problem but the customer should examine the shavings of the first drill holes for metal. Some insulation materials use aluminium foil which would then mean the door is metal containing and the oversized cutout of 250 mm must be made as per cutting template and use the install adaptor. ”
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Lau.
PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap:
This requires four alkaline AA batteries (LR6) for operation. Batteries are not included with your cat flap. Please use new, non-rechargeable batteries for best results.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hi Jowd,
PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap
The PetSafe® Microchip Cat Flap is designed to work with most 15-digit microchips (FDX-B) used for pets so you would need a 15 digit pin to be able to use this cat flap.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi There,
PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap
Having checked I can see this would not be able to be used with the same hole as the 280EF as the hole required for this is 260mm compared to the 228 mm needed for the 280EF so you would need to widen it.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Maureen,
If the PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap malfunctions, it depends on the nature of the malfunction. Here are a few scenarios:
Power Failure: If the batteries die or there’s a power issue, the flap will typically default to an unlocked state, allowing your cat to get in and out freely.
Mechanical Jam: If the flap gets stuck or jammed, it might prevent entry or exit. Regular maintenance, like cleaning the flap and checking for obstructions, can help prevent this.
For peace of mind, it’s a good idea to regularly check the batteries and clean the flap to ensure it functions properly.
Thank you for using Q&A
Mine has always worked fine so I don't know, sorry. The only malfunction I can think of is if the batteries run out so the microchip reader doesn't work.
Hello Syd.
PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap:
Yes, this can be set up for multiply cat microchips.

Hi Guner,
Yes, the PetSafe Microchip Cat Flap will still work for your cat even if the microchip is located between his shoulder blades.
