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. However, with
the invention of electronic dog doors, this problem can be eliminated for good.
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.
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
Just because they use electronics, that doesn't mean that electronic dog doors
are difficult to install. They are waterproof (from the outside) and they can be
used constantly without a problem. 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.
