Automatic dog doors, both electronic and magnetic, offer a lot of benefits to the dog owner as well as the pet.
These pet entrances function much like any other doggy door allowing your pet to roam freely in and out of your home with ease.
However, with pet doors which are not automatic, your other indoor pets, or even small children can wander outside at any time.
Another concern is being able to prevent outside pests such as other animals from entering your home.
Who wants to find a raccoon, a skunk or other strays roaming around inside your home?! Dog entrances that are not automatic can even become a security hazard.
Non automatic doggy doors provide a decent sized opening directly into your home.
While traditional dog doors may cost less money, but they can be quite drafty.
If you live in a colder climate an electric or magnetic door for your pet may be a better solution.
There are two different kinds of automatic dog doors; electric and magnetic.
A receiver on your dog's collar activates both of these types of entrances.
As the dog approaches the opening, the receiver sends a signal opening the automatic pet door.
If you are thinking of purchasing an automatic pet door, we recommend you should if you say "yes" to any of the following: - You want to keep some of your pets contained in the house as well as providing outdoor access to those wearing the pet door transmitter.
- You have a small child or baby that you are worried might crawl through a regular pet door - You are concerned about strays and other wild pests entering your house through your pet door - You would like more security than a normal flap-style pet entrance can provide.
