Pet Dog Door - Some Security Concerns For Pet Owners

When you install a pet dog door in your house, that set up becomes convenient for your dog, but it can affect your home's security. Dog doors of the traditional variety, often just a frame under a door or on a wall, are often just plastic flaps. Even when they're made of some sterner material, there are still security worries. Here are three factors to take into consideration when buying a pet dog door.

The size of the door. Don't just get any doggie door, there's a height to consider. If you have large dogs, then most likely a small person can squeeze in. Whoever can fit in that dog door could be anyone - your child, someone else's, or a short thief. The last incident you want is for a child to be stuck in your dog door. There's also the worry of other animals being able to do as they please - in and out of your home. So it pays to determine the right height for your doggie door.

Placement matters. Although it seems to be convenient to place your dog door on your front door, that practically announces to the world there's a smaller, less secure entrance to your house. It might be best, safer, to install the pet door on your back door, which often leads to a backyard anyway. Or at least on another door not in direct view of people passing by your house. Do not give potential burglars any ideas.

The kind you need. Flap doors also have versions where the flap is made of harder materials. Remember, too, that there are several lock settings you can choose from. The door can be set up to swing towards the inside of your house, or outside; or towards on direction only, and then locks itself. One side setting means when your dog gets in, or out, that's it. This lock setting could lock your pet inside or outside your home - your pet will be safe inside, but oversights happen and it could be left outside, in the cold, overnight. Although an electronic /automatic pet dog door is an effective answer, it is more expensive. In this set up, your dog wears a collar with a device that the door can detect when near; the door opens only when the dog is near. Having a doggie door is a great benefit for both owner and pet - you won't have to worry about accidental potty incidents (should your dog be kept inside the house for too long), and the dog can feel free to come and go as it pleases.
