Dog Door - Know Your Pet's Shoulder Width, Height, and Weight

If want to install a dog door inside your home, you need to choose the appropriate size, locking settings, material, and color that suits your home.

The door Size and size-cut aspects - you should measure your dog's height, weight, and shoulder fit

Dog doors come in many sizes, some can be enough to fit a range of dog heights and shoulder widths. Do you have a dog one could mistake for a pony? You should consider getting the extra large doors then. Better yet, consider a custom-made door. Large and very large dog doors often come in a size of their own, so there's often no problem with shoulder width right there.

If you don't have a big, big dog then you'll be looking at the common size range of dog doors, one that offers at least three size categories in the size cut guide - small, medium, and large. So you get a good fit for your dog, you need to measure the height and shoulder width of your pet. Don't guess, go ahead and measure and check where that measurement falls under in the size cut guide. Carefully measure your pet's dimensions and then simply follow the size cut guide.

Only you, the pet owner, would be in a position to know just about everything about your dog - but if you make a mistake and get a smaller sized dog door measurement, you may inconvenience your pet. Your pet might need to kneel a bit lower and crawl just to get in.

Some pets are known to muscle their way when they see a way in or out, one in which they think they can fit through. Quick entrances and exits like this are common when dogs are at play. Now, back to that badly sized dog door - your pet could get injured when it tries to run and slam into the door, thinking it would fit. Even if it can fit, with some effort, that's bad - what if it was being pursued by another animal?

Choose from hard or soft flaps

With many dogs and a large place, you may have dogs that view your home as one big large playground. Use a soft flap if you have small dogs that look delicate or are old or recovering from injuries. When yours is a small house with an overeager dog that could abuse that soft flap, then a hard flap is recommended.

Security concerns - why lock settings are vital for dog doors

Flaps swing both ways, but dog doors with added lock setting can be configured. For example, you can set it to lock once your pets come back indoors after evening play. You can do the reverse so that flap would lock when the dog leaves, allowing you to clean the house without interruptions. If you worry other animals may use the dog door to gain entry to your home, by all means think about getting an automatic dog door. Automatic dog doors unlock to let only your pet in - it uses a special collar the door can detect.
