Dusty is a 5-year old long-haired daddy's boy! He was able to peek in the front door at us to let us know he wanted in from outside, but when we re-sided our house this year, we also got new doors. I was sure he wouldn't be able to peer in the new door, so ordered the Pet Doorbell--it's the perfect solution for us! We know as soon as he wants in, and can open up for him before the neighbor's dog catches up to him! It's working perfectly for us---I'm so glad you invented this mat! I had looked for something exactly like this many years ago for another cat who couldn't be seen when he wanted in, who often sat out on the porch for along time before my mother knew he was there, but at that time there were no products like this one.

PS--can you tell he's getting ready for winter? A few months ago he had to be partially shaved, and we discovered (to our surprise!) that he isn't actually fat at all, his fur is just very, very thick, particularly the smokey grey undercoat.

Dear Ed Charboneau

I am so please that I was able to find your Pet Door Chime Mat. It is working Great! We have a sunken sunroom that goes out to a porch and court yard. The puppies knew to go to the sunroom door but if we did not see them it was to late. Now with the chime mat I now know they have to get out. Today we are getting a screened in porch and a doggie door.

Thank you again for the phone call and the emails. Next time we are in Vermont we shall stop to see you and your wife.

Take care

Hi Ed, It has been about two weeks since we began using our two pet door chime mats with our dog, Benji. He is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is very active, wanting to go out and come in often. Cavaliers are not very verbal dogs, so he does not bark at the door, just scratches (which makes it hard to hear if he's outside and wants to come in). We bought one mat for near the kitchen door so he could "ring the bell" when he wants to go out rather than shredding the woodwork, and another mat for outside on the porch so he could let us know when he wants to come back in. Just as you mention in your advertisements, the mat does not require any training because if you put it where the dog would normally stand to come in or go out, the dog will stand on it automatically (unknowingly) and the bell will chime. We're very please with our purchase, and we have attached two pictures of Benji using the mat in the kitchen. Enjoy!

We just received our Pet Doorbell, Ginger and I, and it works great, just like you said it would. I found it also is compatible with my current doorbell so now when Ginger steps on the mat I have two chimes that ring.

I love this product.  Miss Kitty won't have to scratch on my new door when she wants to come in the house after playing in the garage.     Sandy
