PetSafe Electronic SmartDoor

Other than alleviating the fear of intruders, this digital doggie door has plenty of smart uses. If your pet is wearing the SmartKey on his collar and tries to go through the pet door, radio-frequency technology reads the collar’s unique signal and unlocks the flap. It automatically locks back into place when your pet’s SmartKey is out of range. This means, depending on what pet is given a SmartKey, you can let your dog go out while keeping the cat inside, give your cat access to the litter box while keeping the dog out, or any other number of scenarios unique to your home.

Litter-Robot

Never scoop a litter box again with this game-changing design. The Litter-Robot senses when your cat enters and exits the box. A timer counts down after he or she leaves, and after allowing time for the litter to clump, a Clean cycle begins, sifting and separating the contents before dropping the waste into a carbon-filtered drawer below. For a single-cat household, you only need to empty the drawer once every 7 to 10 days. Read our review of the Litter Robot 4 to learn more about the latest model.
