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 door uses high technology in oder
to make life easier for the dog and its owner. 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. An electronic pet door costs more than other
types of pet doors, but they are worth the price.
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.
Traditional pet doors can be entered anytime but electronic doors close right
after the pet has passed through it and stay closed until the pet returns.
How They Function
The specific design may vary from model to model, but they all usually work on
the same principle. The door has some sensors which make the door open when they
detect a magnetic (sometimes infrared) signal emitted by a collar that your dog
has to wear at all times.
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.
It is interesting to know that a electronic pet door's sensors can tell the
difference in size between a dog and a person, and thus won't open to burglars.
Cost
Since the level of technology used plays a great role in the price aside from
the material and size of the dog door, models can go from $40 to $700 in price.
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.
