PlexiDor

contestLast year’s dog food contest where a lucky winner received 1,000 pounds of Black Gold dog food was a success. We here at PlexiDor pet doors loved seeing everyone’s photos, and we have decided to do it again. 

To enter, all you have to do is visit this link, answer an easy question, and share a photo of your dog using a dog door. It can be any dog door, it doesn’t have to be a PlexiDor, and if you don’t have a dog door it’s okay to be creative.

Naturally, if you were to win and don’t want the food for yourself you can donate it to a shelter or rescue. Two runners up will win Dunkin Donuts gift cards.

 

Dogs process speech in a way similar to humans

Pet information

Dog owners know their pooches understand language, and past research has shown that dogs respond to different parts of human speech, making a difference between content and emotional tone. New research shows that dogs process speech in a way similar to humans.

Naturally, this doesn’t mean that all dogs understand all human words. Dogs must learn our language, and different individuals can retain different amounts of words.

The study shows that dogs process words with the brain’s left hemisphere – just like humans do. This part of the brain processes syntax and words.

Dogs and humans both process emotional tone with the brain’s right hemisphere.

Does this matter?

It helps explain how dogs became man’s best friend – they can truly tell the difference between meaningless sounds and words that are important to them. They love us back, see us as their family, listen to what we say, and understand.

PlexiDor pet doors in Window and Door MagazineThe October/November issue of Window and Door Magazine features the PlexiDor Pet door, and mentions that these dog doors and cat doors are shatter resistant with a material specially formulated to resist damage from sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high impact.

The high impact point is particularly important for households with large and giant dogs. There is a lot of energy in a running dog in a hurry to reach the outside, and giant breeds often break other types of doors.

The article also mentions that each panel is lined with industrial grade weather seal for maximum energy efficiency, and that the PlexiDor dog doors and cat doors are created with security in mind.

PlexiDor dog doors were recently featured in the Edmonton Journal. The paper wrote, “Doggie doors eliminate middle man. Let your pet hit the yard without the need for a human gatekeeper.”

The feature goes on with asking, “How many times a day would you use the door if your bathroom wasn’t inside the house? Now add the times when you leave to get some fresh air, a change of scenery, or to greet someone.”

This is exactly what the PlexiDor is about – freedom for the pets to go outside or come in without having to wait for the humans to get home from work or out of bed, and freedom from worry for pet lovers.

PlexiDor Pet Doors featured in the London Free Press

PlexiDor

PlexiDor Pet Doors were recently featured in an article in the London Free Press, mentioning how a multitude of items enable dog owners to offer their pets the best.

The article mentions that “we seem to finally have reached a point where we no longer have to justify a devotion to our pets” and continues with explaining how pet-friendly people nowadays don’t care how others feel about them and their pets.

The portion about the PlexiDor dog doors and cat door reads:

“If Snoopy or Garfield were to go outside on their own, the options for pet doors were once very limited. You had the flap and you had the squeeze, but nothing that matched the quality of the windows and doors on the rest of your house.

Now pet door sizes range from kitten to pony and are made from durable products, warranted against failure. You can still buy the vinyl flap, but it’s hardly an option for a Canadian winter. These days doors are lockable, durable and claim to stand up to whatever the Great White North can throw at them.

Manufacturer Plexidor specializes in a shatter resistant saloon-style door with an aluminum frame that’s guaranteed to never warp, rust, bend or crack. If you have the budget and the desire to make Lassie the envy of the neighbourhood, Plexidor’s Electronic Door and Electronic Wall versions feature a programmable panel and other elements akin to a house security system. Concern about a possum or raccoon following your furry family member into the house are eliminated with these particular doors. Only the dog or cat that’s wearing a special pre-programmed collar key will gain access.”
