 Does your
four-legged friend need a little more freedom? Pet doors offer animals
independence and allow their owners more flexibility in their day-to-day
schedules. Whether you're more of a traditionalist, or you're inclined to
adopt the latest and greatest tech, there's something for you (and your furry
friends).
Classic flap
We've all seen this one, a small opening with a flap that allows a pet access
in and out of the house. These types of pet doors are popular due to their
versatility. They can be installed in a door or cut into the side of a home.
They can be positioned to access your home's interior or just the garage or
patio. These can even be installed in screen doors or glass panels. If
security is a concern, these can often be outfitted with a sliding insert
that will keep out intruders of both the critter and human variety.
Patio/panel type
This is a good option if your live in a rental or are just weary of cutting a
hole in a door or the side of your home. This option is basically a panel
that fits within the track of a sliding door and has a pet door flap
built-in. If you're on a tight budget, renting, or the very thought of a
drill makes you sweat – this one is for you.
Smart doors
Electronic or magnetic pet doors come with sensor tags that attach to your
pets' collar, allowing automatic entry or exit when they get close to the
door. Only a pet with a sensor tag can enter or exit through them. Some
electronic pet doors can be programmed to open during certain times of the
day if your furry friend is the schedule-keeping type. There are even doors
that connect to your smartphone, so you'll be notified when Milo or Otis step
out. If you can afford it, a smart door is an excellent option that mitigates
many of the most common concerns with pet doors – including security, pet
safety, and energy efficiency.
