Electronic Door Makes Sure Only Your Pets Enter and Exit

You want your pet to be able to come in and out of the house without bringing in the neighbor's dog or wild critters. Plexidor Pet Doors offers the Plexidor Electronic Pet Door that opens exclusively for your pets with a wearable pass-code collar key. It's like having a personalized garage door opener, except your pets have the opener.

"Having a technological tool like this is great for the health and comfort of the pet," said Joe Ambrose, president of Plexidor. "It allows the pets to go outside when they have to, not when you are able to let them out.

"For the pet owner, it is very helpful in preventing pet messes in the house from the pet having to hold it too long."

The door works with programmed collar keys that clip on your pet's collar. The technology in the door reads and recognizes the code as the pet approaches the door and allows entrance. The pet door panel slides up and down like a mini-garage door.

The collar key requires no batteries and doesn't limit the number of pets that can use the door. The tag is waterproof, shockproof and rugged.

Rugged, rustproof and energy efficient, the door will not blow open with the wind like most flap doors for pets. It is made with aluminum framing and high-impact ABS panels, the same material used for football helmets. A safety mechanism keeps the door from closing if it is obstructed, thus preventing pinched paws and tails.

Available in bronze or white, the Plexidor Electronic Pet Door comes in various sizes to match the size of any pet.

Prices range from $129 to $800, depending on the size and model.

SAFETY

When you leave home and hit the road, accidents can happen. Be prepared with the 4-in-1 Safety Stick Emergency Tool & Flashlight, a multifaceted tool designed to help in an emergency.

The Safety Stick includes:

— Strong beamed flashlight that can be used for many purposes both in and outside of the car.

— Flashing red LED strobes to alert oncoming traffic of an emergency situation ahead.

— Magnetic bottom that allows the driver to attach to the side of a vehicle to alert motorists with the strobes.

— Seat belt cutter that is sharp enough to slice through any seat belt in seconds and prevents injury to the user.

— Steel pointed, hammerlike tip designed to shatter any window with just a tap for emergency exit.

The 4-in-1 Safety Stick retails for $19 and includes two AA batteries. For more information, call 414-975-1155 or visit www.safetybright.com.
