Best Electronic Dog Doors

The electronic pet door is one of mankind's best inventions. If you have a dog or a cat, or perhaps both, you really need a pet door - unless you enjoy the aerobics of constantly getting in and out of your chair to let them in and out of the house. I know for my cat, it was a pure dominance thing. He wanted my attention. Well, he still does, but has now found other ways of demanding it.

The problem with regular pet doors is control. They let every other creature in as well. Stray cats, raccoons, opossums all smell the kibbles in the bowl and want in. Can't really blame them. Or perhaps you want Fido to be able to go outside at will to do his number, but really want the cat to stay indoors. How can you do that?

The solution is the electronic pet door. The pet wears a sensor on their collar that only lets them in or out. It can be magnetic, electro-magnetic, sonic frequency or infrared. In fact, there are models that can control up to seven or eight pets at a time and even monitor when they can and cannot go outside. An LCD screen indicates the last time each used the door. Almost makes you think about putting the collars on your kids, right?

Electronic pet doors protect your home as well as your pets. The door only opens on command. That saves you money on the energy bills. Regular flap doors can be drafty, driving the cost of keeping your home comfortable out of sight. It is like having a window cracked open year round. Electronic doors are draft and weather proof. Burglar proof, too.
