Imagine the ultimate magnetic dog door. Forget about the magnetic dog doors you have already seen that leak air, water, and debris into your home. I talking about the ultimate magnetic dog door that lets your companion easily come and go while sealing airtight just like a refrigerator door seals shut. Wouldn’t that give you the peace of mind you need to cut that hole into your door or exterior wall so your best buddy has his own portal to the backyard.

Magnetic dog doors haven’t changed much over the years, and an energy efficient solution is long overdue. Freedom Pet Pass pioneered M.E.S.S.A. air sealing technology for an airtight seal has combined its new technology with an innovative thermal pet flap to offer the first magnetic dog doors that seals airtight.

Ultimate is defined as furthest or highest in degree or order. As it relates to a magnetic dog door that seals airtight, Freedom Pet Pass is the ultimate magnetic dog door.

Other dog doors claim to seal well. How do the other dog doors create a seal?

You have the right to know that every other dog flap on the market leaks air regardless of how many flaps are attached to the dog door. Nearly every dog door flap relies on few strategically placed magnets to bring the pet flap to closure. Thick pile brush material with magnets positioned in the flap and around the frame creates a seal. As you can see below however, the dog flaps do not create a true seal.

Pile brush material does allow air to leak. Guillotine dog doors and metal dog doors typically swing shut and rely on a hinge system, both of which are very dangerous for your pet to use. Below are some videos featuring popular brands that rely on the before mentioned methods.

You can actually see the gaps when the pet flaps try to close

A dog door review about the before mentioned types of dog doors directly from Amazon.com

"I bought this door to replace an older door with a worn out flap. Installation was easy. However, I noticed cold air coming in. The problem is that the side of the flaps seal against the plastic frame. When it gets cold and the flap stiffens, the flaps don't seal. I tried adjusting the flaps up and that helped, but left a gap at the bottom where cold air flowed into the house. If you adjust it so the magnets at the bottom seal well, then the flaps don't always close.

This door, that's supposed to insulate better than their regular doors, actually let in more cold air. The yellow insulating pad in the center is also a joke. It's supposed to seal against brush strips built into the side. But since it swings back after the dog comes in, it never ends up sealing in the brush. Finally, the snap on door is a disaster. It's not insulated and you have to snap it onto the frame. That's easier said than done. Getting it off required a screwdriver to pop the snaps. All in all, this design is really bad. It's going back and I hope I get a full refund. If not, I'll have to chalk it up to my own gullibility." Read more reviews

What makes the Freedom Pet Pass different?

What makes this dog door different is the new air sealing technology applied directly to an innovative canvas coated pet flap. The unique magnetic formula creates a magnetic circuit and that circuit creates a true draft free seal. Think of the circuit in terms of how electricity flows to create energy. See video for description.

This is how we created a draft free seal that remarkably withstands a leaf blower at point blank range

How do I know your magnetic dog door doesn’t leak air?

That is a fair question considering no other dog door has proven itself to be draft free. Freedom Pet Pass submitted their dog doors to an independent Energy Star home sealing engineer for testing. Building Performance by Design performed a blower door test and thermal imaging tests to prove the energy efficient claims made by the manufacturer. Not only did the Freedom Pet Pass allow zero air infiltration, this dog door actually has a higher R-value than most residential doors and walls that it installs into. Click here to read full report

The Freedom Pet Pass energy efficient dog doors are recommended by Energy Star Partners. This is an exciting first in the pet door industry. What is even more compelling is that the Michigan made dog door has been installed into Passive Homes in Europe.

Passive Homes are the future in terms of energy smart airtight homes and you will be seeing them in the United States very soon. They are homes that require building materials that are held to a higher standard than Energy Star and Freedom Pet Pass is the pet door of choice.

So, if you think the ultimate magnetic dog door is a dog door that seals airtight, saves you costs, and is easy for your pet to use then you owes it to yourself to look around and see what makes us different.  And yes, Freedom Pet Pass does offer cat doors for your feline friend.
