Screen Door with Dog Door
Your dog is part of your family, and you want the best for your family. A screen door with a dog door provides the perfect mix of security and flexibility. It gives your furry friend the freedom to come and go when they need while protecting your home from pests and intruders.
While dogs provide joy and companionship, caring for them also involves responsibilities such as managing their movements in and out of the house. Pet doors put this process on autopilot so that you do not have to attend to them constantly.
Protect Your Home from Insects Without Limiting Your Pet’s Freedom
While the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads region provide excellent quality of life, their high temperatures can make your home more susceptible to insects, especially in the warmer months. Households located near the Gold Coast’s 400+ kilometres of canals and constructed lakes commonly see an increase in insects like midges, mosquitoes and sandflies in summer. A screen door with a dog door protects your home from these intruders and the damage they cause without restricting your dog’s movements.
Goldco® Security can provide you with the right dog or cat door for your screen door. Using only high-quality Petway® pet doors, we provide the ideal solution for you and your furry friend.
Benefits of a screen door with a dog door
There are several advantages to investing in a screen door with a dog door for your home including:
Convenience
The biggest advantage of installing a pet door is that it enables your dog to come and go as they please, even when you are asleep or not around. This saves you from having to constantly open and shut the door for them, freeing up your time and giving your pet more flexibility in their routine.
Quality of life for your dog
With a dog door, your dog has the freedom to go outside any time they need to for exercise, bathroom breaks and mental stimulation. This has a beneficial effect on their quality of life and wellbeing.
Peace of mind for busy households
A dog door is a practical solution if you and the other members of your household are often away during the day or absent for long periods. Giving your dog the means to come and go when they need to minimises the risks of accidents inside the house and reduces stress for both of you.
Home security and ventilation
When you install a screen door with a dog door, you allow fresh air and natural light to enter your home while protecting it from insects and intruders. A dog door offers the highest levels of convenience for your pet while protecting the security of your whole household.
How to choose the right screen and dog door
There are considerations and even some limitations involved when it comes to selecting the right screen door with a dog door. Pet doors cannot be fitted on bushfire-related properties or doors that lead to swimming pools. A security door with a pet door installed in it can no longer be classified as a security door and needs to be called a “barrier door”. When it comes to choosing the right screen door with a dog door, the following considerations apply:
Sizing
Your dog needs to be able to pass through your pet door. To select the correct dog door size, measure the height of your dog from the ground to their shoulders as well as their width at the widest point.
Features
Dog doors are made from different materials and come equipped with different features such as security mechanisms. The type of dog you have and their temperament have a significant impact on the best dog door features for you.
Durability
A dog door should be strong enough to withstand daily use and exposure to all kinds of weather conditions without wearing out early.
