What type of pet door is right for your house?
Oh well... back to reality… Learn from my mistake... plan ahead… not every dog door is the same. The type you choose depends on several things... your dog's habits, where you put it, and the convenient features that you want. If you'll be cutting it into an existing door or wall... do yourself a favor... make all your decisions before you get out the saw!
These classic doors require that you cut a hole in the wall or door. They're available in different sizes and styles to accommodate any size dog. |

Dog Doors For Sliding Patio Doors
A pet door for a sliding patio door looks just like a very narrow sliding patio door with a flexible flap in the bottom. Also available in deluxe models with extra, convenient features.You just install the panel with the flap against the doorframe. Then slide the existing patio door until it closes up against the stationary panel with the flap.
You exit and enter through the sliding patio door as usual except that now the opening is narrower. Your pet can now come and go through the flap at the bottom.
Automatic Pet Door Systems
Electronic self-locking door systems will automatically open and then lock your sliding patio door each time it closes.And with the addition of an electronic pet collar your pet can let herself in and out as needed.
You can give your family members easy access by adding an electronic keypad.
Screen-Mounted Dog Doors
A pet screen door will allow you to create an opening in a sliding or swinging screen door or a window screen. A screen-mounted door will accommodate dogs up to 30 lbs.
