The electronic dog door is powered either by batteries, electrical plugs or by both. This type of door uses high technology in oder to make life easier for the dog and its owner. These doors are specially designed and will only open for the dog that is wearing a special collar piece. This will prevent other dogs or animals and even potential burglars from going into your house. Of course, the technology of these automatic doors makes them more expensive, but they are worth it.
One of the advantages of these doors is that, unlike regular pet doors, they can’t be pushed open and will always be closed, keeping water and snow from coming into the house. Traditional pet doors can be entered anytime but electronic doors close right after the pet has passed through it and stay closed until the pet returns.
How These Doors Work
There are various kinds of doors but they generally function in the same way. The door has some sensors which make the door open when they detect a magnetic (sometimes infrared) signal emitted by a collar that your dog has to wear at all times.
Whether the dog comes from inside or outside the house, the door will open for the pet and then it will lock itself again. There are some types which include a remote control that let the owner keep the door closed or opened regardless of where the collar is.
One of the unique features about an electronic pet door is that people cannot activate the door because the high-tech sensors can detect the difference between an animal and a person
Price
Since the level of technology used plays a great role in the price aside from the material and size of the dog door, models can go from $40 to $700 in price.
