Why Choose Electronic
Pet Doors
Electronic pet
doors are 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
electronic pet doors. 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.
The one thing to avoid is water. If you have a pool and dogs
that like to swim, the transmitter can short out if they jump
in and submerge the collar. Many of the collars are now water
resistant, like a watch, so splashing or rain won't zap them.
Another issue is if you are not home and the pet is outside
during a power failure, it won't be able to get in. But that is
pretty rare. There are so many
varieties and styles to chose from that you are sure to find
the best one to match your needs and your pet's. Trust me.
You'll both be happier with an electronic pet door installed in
your home.
