    Electronic Dog Doors: Keeping Your Dog In, Keeping The Weather Out

     

    There's one thing that works against traditional dog doors: if an animal is chasing or following our dog, it can do so even inside our house. The advent of electronic dog doors has brought in inexplicable convenience and security to our dogs at home. Before you go out and buy the first electronic door that you see, you should do some research, either on internet or with pet supplies stores in order to find out what options you have.

    Types of Electronic Dog Doors

    There are a couple of popular electronic pet doors namely the motion sensor activated electronic dog doors and the electromagnetic sensor based pet doors. The first one is unique in the sense that it can detect the motion of your dog and differentiate it from the motion of a higher or smaller animal (or human), while the second one detects the electromagnetic field that is emitted by your dog's collar.

    While both types work very well, the one that works with an electromagnetic field is the only one that can guarantee you that no other animal will be able to get inside your house.

    Advantages

    Just because they use electronics, that doesn't mean that electronic dog doors are difficult to install. They are tamper proof and offer maximum security by keeping intruders and stray pets at bay. They also offer access that is often customizable.

    How to Choose an Electronic Dog Door

    You should always take a look at several electronic dog doors before making a decision, since sometimes an extra feature or two might be very convenient for your case and make a world of difference. Some factors that you should take into consideration is your dog's size (if it's a puppy or a young dog, consider the full grown size instead), whether the installation is included in the price, the existence of a back up battery, etc.

    The main advantage of electronic dog doors over regular ones is that they keep other animals out of the house. They are also a good choice in areas where there's a lot of rain or snow, since they will keep those outside too. Always consider the size of your dog when looking at electronic pet doors.
