Infrared dog doors were previously a subcategory of electronic or automatic dog doors. With infrared dog doors, your pet would wear a small pea-sized "key" on its collar that would utilize infrared technology to activate the door as your pet approaches the dog door.
The most common of the infrared dog doors on the market was the Staywell Infrared Dog Door (model 861) where it provided controlled access (both in and out) of your house for only your pets wearing an infrared collar key. America's Pet Store witnessed a larger than average return rate on this infrared dog door because the infrared technology did not work properly when the door was placed in direct sunlight. This led to a larger than normal number of product returns. America's Pet Store still offers the Staywell Infrared Cat Door, which does not appear to have the same problem customers encountered with the Staywell infrared dog door.
Infrared dog doors were a lower priced electronic dog door when compared to other electronic dog doors on the market. If you are looking to purchase an infrared dog door, America's Pet Store recommends the similarly priced PetSafe Electronic SmartDoor dog doors, which comes in two sizes, small and large. This PetSafe dog door utilizes electro-magnetic technology to accomplish the same objectives of pet access control that was desired with the Staywell Infrared dog door.
If you are looking for infrared dog doors, they are no longer available on the market; however, America's Pet Store customer service representatives can assist you with finding an alternative that will fit your need and your budget.
America’s Pet Store carries the largest selection of dog doors online including big dog doors. Patio door dog doors (also known as sliding glass dog doors) are popular with renters, since no hole is required to be cut into the door or wall. Electric dog doors work well in keeping out unwanted pests. Choose from all the most popular brands, including PetSafe dog doors, Ideal dog doors (manufacturer of Ruff Weather dog doors), Hale dog doors, Staywell dog doors, Plexidor dog doors, and Patio Pacific (also known as Endura flap dog doors).
