If you’ve got a cat or dog that likes to come in and out throughout the day, then a pet door may make a great addition to your home. However, it’s important to keep in mind that unless professionally fitted by an experienced team, any such modifications can create potential issues. Keep reading to find out more about pet door safety and how you can choose the best fit.
The basics
When properly fitted, a pet door can make a world of difference to your home. They allow animals to come in and out as they please, so pet owners don’t have to always jump up to open the door. This is great for people who want to stay nice and comfortable on the couch, or for anyone that isn’t home throughout the day.
Potential issues
When not properly installed, pet doors can impact the wellbeing and safety of your pet. If the area is too small, for instance, then large cats and some dogs can easily get stuck and find themselves unable to escape. Similarly, if the pet door is too heavy or hard to push through, then animals can injure or harm themselves while entering and leaving the home – think tender snouts, sore paws and tails.

The best way to ensure that your home remains safe, secure and looking fantastic, is to give a professional glass fitter and pet door installer a call.
