Making It Easy for Everyone: The Doggy Door

November 7, 2009, filed under Pets


For any person that has a dog, putting a doggie door into one of the doors of the home that leads to the back yard is essential to keeping everyone happy. People who have a sliding glass door might think that they are out of luck when thinking about putting in a doggy door, but that is not the case. There are two types of doors that can be put into a sliding glass door which do not decrease the security in these doors and allows their pets the access that they need to the yard.

Kinds of Doggie Doors

There are two types of doggie doors that can be installed on glass doors: the panel door and the door in a door type. The first type is a door that is the width of the sliding glass door which reduces the amount of space that the people have to go in and out of the door but allows the dog to pass in and out of the yard at will.

The second type requires that a hole be carved on the glass door so that the doggie door can be installed there.

In addition to these types, there are other types of doggie doors that can be installed in conventional doors; for example, the automatic slider doggie door. These automatic doors are recommended for large breeds, since they open completely and leave much more space for the dog to go through. However, the most common type of doggie door installed in regular wooden doors is the flap door, which has to be pushed open by the dog and can be opened both ways.

Due to the popularity of doggie doors, manufacturers are always trying to come up with new types of doggie doors, such as the sash doors and the door mounts. WIth so many types of doors available, any customer can find the most appropriate doggie door for his or her pet, no matter the size, age, and characteristics of the dog.
