The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

SureFlap's DualScan checks your cat's registered microchip both when it enters and when it exits, which is a step up from single-direction scanning doors. The flap opening measures 4.75 inches high by 5.625 inches wide, matching the standard SureFlap footprint.

It runs on AA batteries rather than a wired power source, so there is no need to run cable to the door. The unit is finished in white and weighs about 1 kilogram, and it has been on the market since 2013, giving it a long track record.

At just over $210, it is the priciest door in this roundup, and a 4.0 star rating from more than 2,400 reviews puts it slightly below the standard single-scan SureFlap in buyer satisfaction.

Pros

  • DualScan checks the microchip on both entry and exit
  • Long track record on the market since 2013

  • Compact opening at 4.75 by 5.625 inches
