Choosing a Doggy Door

Are you considering a ‘doggy door’ for your canine? Here are some things to consider

The ideal doggy door is sized to fit the standard height of your full grown dog when measured from the top of the shoulders and the width at the chest.

Consider ideal features that include an easy-closing magnetic strip.  

For added security, use an electronically activated ‘key system’ that not only keeps out unwanted guests, but can also improve energy efficiency.

The doggy door should only give your pet access to an enclosed outdoor area, such as a porch or fenced in yard.

Remember to monitor the door carefully and know that they are not completely safe using the door when you are not home!
