Product Information
Full details
The PetSafe Magnetic Collar Key is designed for cat owners seeking a reliable, low-maintenance way to manage pet access through their home entry points. It offers the key benefit of selective, secure entry by ensuring only pets wearing the magnetic key can trigger the cat flap, effectively keeping strays out. While it provides excellent independence for your pets, it is important to note that the key requires the animal to wear a collar at all times to function, which may not be suitable for pets that are sensitive to wearing neck accessories.
