Pawport, a pet tech startup based in Phoenix, is back at CES 2025 to unveil its upgraded Smart Pet Door, which now features an additional exterior door for added security.

If you’re tired of bugs or, worse, raccoons and other critters sneaking into your home through traditional pet doors, Pawport may have the solution. The smart pet door system, first announced at last year’s CES, is constructed from thick, powder-coated steel and aluminum and features two solid deadbolts to withstand inclement weather and prevent unwanted animals from entering.

Thanks to a tracker tag and motion-sensing technology, the door automatically opens as your pet approaches. Additionally, there is a companion app that allows you to control the door remotely, schedule when the door can open or close, and even issue voice commands through Alexa, Siri, or Google.

The new model features both an interior and exterior door connected by a small tunnel for enhanced security. Compared to other pet doors on the market, Pawport is designed to be one of the most secure options, especially in areas like California, where coyote attacks have increased. This past summer, a man and his chihuahua were reportedly injured when a coyote entered their home through a dog door.

For added safety, the smart pet door has sensitivity gauges that prevent the doors from closing on a pet as they enter or exit the home. There’s also an option to disable the top panel controls, which helps prevent children from pressing the buttons to open Pawport and crawl through. In case of a power outage, Pawport’s rechargeable battery pack ensures the door remains operational, so pets won’t be left stuck inside or outside.

Pawport starts at $500 and will be available in early 2025.
