With 3 dogs, it would be wonderful to have a dog door, so that they can go outside in the yard when they need/want to go. But, with 2 cats as well, a dog door isn't really safe or realistic.I looked into it a bit and read about the Automatic Dog door that has 'remotes' and only those with it on their collar, and get through the dog door.....this would be fantastic! (If it actually works!)But, I have read a lot of bad reviews on these products...and don't want to waste a few hundred dollars, cut a hole in my door, and then discover that it doesn't work.Does any one have any experience with these? Any certain brand/product recommendations?I'd appreciate any input! (and I always give out a BA to the best!)Thank You.
I had a hybrid once that decided she could eat her own dog door inside one day. It meant the cat also got out. I decided to try the dog door with the magnet, but the cat quickly learned she can paw at it hard enough and open it. Then I tried the one with the key. It worked pretty well until she decided it didn't unlock fast enough (sometimes her fur would hide the key, I guess, and it frustrated her). You can also get locking dog doors so that your dogs can use it only when you're watching or during times that the cats are up, if you'd like.
