The POWER PET Story We Set Out to Fight Fleas And Ended Up With The Most Amazing Pet Door On Earth The story of the Power Pet Door begins in 1986 when, as a young company, in our effort to find a better way to fight fleas, we introduced the now famous, Electronic Flea Collar. This device, developed by our brilliant, if not a little wacky, electronics engineer, turned out to be the smallest ultrasonic transmitter on Earth for its power range. After manufacturing millions of these tiny ultrasound emitting collars, it dawned on us that the product may have other applications besides driving fleas crazy. We began developing several pet operated devices that used the "flea collar" as a pet worn transmitter. The Power Pet Door was one of our first ideas. But, the original one we built in 1992 bears little resemblance to the mature design we manufacture today. The original was was large, heavy, loud and had an annoying tendency to crush anything in its path when closing. So, our company president, a mechanical engineer who had designed space vehicles for NASA and nuclear reactor cores for Westinghouse, personally took on the more challenging job of designing a fully automatic, pet operated door that works! The early result was very similar, in principle, to the product we now produce, a slim, compact dc motor drive that uses a cable to lift a light-weight panel, then return the panel slowly and safely with a brake-assisted gravity feed. In 1993 we built one hundred of these units using a milled wood frame. The doors sold out in one week. We then left the project dormant, thinking that such a product couldn’t be more than a fad or niche market type of item. It was only after being consistently badgered, for years, by friends and neighbors of those original one hundred Power Pet Door owners who wanted to buy one of their own,
