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.
Kinds of Electronic Dog Doors
There are two types of electronic pet doors depending on the sensors they have.
The first one uses sensors that detect motion while the second one uses sensors
that detect electromagnetic fields. While the former one is operated based on
the working of an innovative sensor that senses the motion of the dog and
differentiates the motion of the dog from that of humans, the latter is based on
an electro magnetic signal that is sent from the collar unit worn by the dog.
The electromagnetic dog doors are more advantageous when compared to the ones
that are operated based on motion sensors for they allow only the dog around
whose neck the collar is worn
Advantages
Unlike conventional dog doors, the electronic dog doors are light, easy to use
and install. They are designed to resist both bad weather and constant use, and
thus they last for a long time. There are even a few models that will let you
select to leave the door temporaly open or closed.
Selecting the Best Electronic Dog Door
It is important to have a look at the featured offerings before you make the
purchase of electronic dog doors for the fact that they drastically differ and
are versatile with different vendors. This includes taking into account the
height of the dog (now and in the future, since puppies can sometimes outgrow
the door), the inclusion of installation in the deal, 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.
