The Electronic Pet Door: Freedom For Your Dog, Rest For You
A electronic dog door can be powered by batteries or by plugging it to a
regular home electrical outlet. This type of pet door is not only convenient for
the pet and its owners it is also a smart choice for dogs. The door has
detectors that can sense the presence of a special collar that your pet has to
wear, and will open only when this collar approaches. This will keep other
animals and potential crooks from entering the house. Naturally, these types of
automatic dog doors are more expensive, but their benefits justify it.
Unlike regular pet doors, automatic pet doors will let your dog come in and go
out whenever it wants, but unlike regular pet doors, they will not only keep
other animals out, but also water from rain and dust from the street. In
addition, while a regular dog door will let your dog in too, only the automatic
dog door will close and lock after your dog is inside, maybe saving it from
attacks from other dogs or mean children.
How These Doors Work
There are various kinds of doors but they generally function in the same way.
The dog has to wear a collar, which in turn emits an infrared or a magnetic
frequency; this frequency can be picked up by the door's sensors and it causes
the door to open.
The door will automatically open after the dog passes through and it will lock
until the dog returns to pass through again. Some models also include a remote
control which allows the owner to open and close the door and leave it like
that, regardless of the dog's movements.
A electronic pet door has sensors that can even detect the size of the being
that approaches it, telling human from animal, and thus it won't open for
burglars, even if they somehow get hold of the collar.
Cost
Most are reasonably priced starting at around $40 dollars but depending on the
various features selected they can cost up to $700 dollars
Other features include battery back up and different locking options.
The electronic dog door is powered by normal electrical current or by batteries. It locks after the dog comes in, keeping animals and rain outside. Depending on your specific electronic pet door model, you may get different features.
