SureFlap is a British company that specializes in making smart pet gadgets, including the world's first app-controlled microchip door for pets.
The Microchip Pet Door works alongside a central hub from the company and the Sure Petcare app, making it possible for a pet owner to remotely lock or unlock the pet door with a simple swipe of their phone.
While the door for pets can be installed just as easily as a normal pet door, it keeps tabs on a pet's activity and keeps pet owners in control. With the app, pet owners are able to set schedules and even curfews for pets, so that they may be kept safely indoors overnight and let themselves out in the morning.
