Automated Pet Doors

The Petwalk Pet Door is Both Pet-Friendly and Eco-Friendly

— March 14, 2014 — Lifestyle
Austrian pet door manufacturer Petwalk is offering a new pet door that is high-tech, eco-friendly and easy for pets to use.

No more treating your pets like second-class citizens by making them shuffle and squeeze through awkward flappy doors. The Petwalk pet door is equipped with a motion-detection module that causes the door to open and close automatically when a pet approaches, making for a grand pet entrance or exit.

The door can also be programmed to let your pet in or out during pre-determined intervals. The Petwalk pet door also comes with individual chips that can be hooked to your pets' collars. That way, the door can be programmed to respond differently to different pets.

The Petwalk pet door also closes to form a drought-free seal that keeps heat out of the house. This makes the door effective at keeping out heat, according to 'Passive House' energy efficiency standards.
