Alberta-Based Company Provides "Smart" Solution To Unwanted Guests Entering Your Home With State-Of-The-Art Automatic Cat-Door
Online, December 3, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Canadian veterinarian Peter DeNooy, who is the COO for EIDAP Inc., first learned of the product via a customer inquiry. Upon further investigation, DeNooy determined Sureflap beat its competitors with its combined sophistication and ease-of-operation. "It's a fool-proof way to prevent any unwanted animal from entering your house. If they don't have a microchip - or one the reader doesn't recognize - they simply cannot push through the door" explains DeNooy.
The CSA-approved unit operates with any injectable microchip used in companion animals in North America. Sureflap runs entirely on four AA batteries activated by the motion sensor, making it an environmentally-friendly, economical choice for cat owners. A one-touch button launches the smart-technology "learn-mode" and automatically programs the reader to record the code of the next microchip to pass through the flap. Unlike other comparable models, there is no need to program a long numerical code by hand and it will work with all the implantable microchips used in Canada and the USA. Up to 32 separate microchip numbers can be stored in the scanner's memory.
A 4-way manual lock allows pet-owners to choose any entry-exit combinations, including a vet-mode to prevent the cat from leaving. With a simple-yet-elegant design, Sureflap can be mounted in almost any door, including glass-sliding door models. The unit can also be fitted in-between wall-studs. Says Ron from Worcester, England, "We have had no strays pestering our cats since we installed it, no strange cats sneaking in ...yet our two have complete freedom." It also works great inside the house for segregating sleep, litter and feeding areas.
The first units will be shipped to customers in North America by December 10, 2009. Sureflap will be available from veterinarians and at pet-retail stores throughout Canada. The North American model comes with multi-lingual packaging and manuals. Interested U.S. customers can order online.
