Radio frequency (RFID) and infrared technology electronic dog doors are the most expensive option on the market today, but these dog doors allow you to control your pet’s access both in and out of the house. These electronic dog doors are excellent at restricting access for one family pet in the house, while providing controlled outside access to other family pets wearing a special collar. America’s Pet Store carries two brands of RFID electronic dog doors, Plexidor electronic dog doors are offered in both a wall mount and door mount option, and High Tech Power Pet electronic dog doors and electronic patio panels are offered in two sizes, Medium and Large as well as in wall mount and door mount options. RFID electronic dog doors are the highest performing products on the market today. Infrared electronic dog doors may cost less than their RFID counterparts, but tend not to perform as well in strong sunlight.
Electronic dog doors utilizing magnetic technology are the most economically priced electronic dog doors on the market, but provide "in only" controlled access that will allow all pets to leave the house, even those not wearing a collar. These electronic dog doors require your pet to wear a small magnet on its collar, slightly larger than the size of a pea. The magnet on the collar must touch the bottom of the pet door in order to activate the door. Be careful, as -this magnet located on your pet’s collar may also attract metallic items from around your home. Electronic dog doors utilizing magnetic technology are useful in keeping unwanted pests out of your home like raccoons and feral cats.
