I bought one of those Solo Pet doors that opens up automatically when the dog gets near it and closes after they go out. It is triggered by a magnet that the dog wears on its collar. We have raccoon, squirrel and possums in our neighborhood, even though we are in the burbs and they can't get in the house since the door closes after the dog goes out. You can adjust the time the door stays open so that more than one dog can go out at a time. You also have a switch to turn the unit off, like at night when you don't want them to go out. It is not a cheap product but it is made well and I like the locking feature so that the critters can't come in. I also is insulated very well so you don't get a breeze coming in through the door. We have 2 installed one in the house and one in their dog room that goes out to a little yard for them. |
