FAQs - Dog Gates, Doors & Pens
How do I choose the right size dog door for my pet?
To select the correct dog door size, measure your pet's width and shoulder height, then compare with product specs. For large breeds, consider the PetSafe Freedom Aluminum Pet Door, which fits bigger pets securely.
Can I install a dog door in a glass door or window?
Yes, some pet doors are specifically designed for glass doors or windows. However, installation may require professional assistance to ensure proper fitting and insulation.
What materials are best for outdoor dog pens?
Outdoor dog pens should be made from rust-resistant metal, heavy-duty plastic, or weatherproof wood to withstand environmental conditions.
How do I prevent my dog from chewing on the gate or pen?
Opt for chew-resistant materials like metal or coated wood. Providing chew toys and ensuring proper training can also reduce chewing behavior.
What’s the difference between a dog kennel and an exercise pen?
A kennel is an enclosed structure with a roof for long-term containment, while an exercise pen is an open-top enclosure for temporary play and training.
Can indoor dog gates be used at the top of stairs?
Yes, but only hardware-mounted gates like the Four Paws Extra-Wide Wood Slat Gate are safe for top-of-stair use. Pressure-mounted options are not secure enough for stairways.
Are dog playpens safe to use outdoors for long durations?
Playpens like the Ware Pop-Up Medium Deluxe Playpen are safe for temporary outdoor use. Ensure supervision and shade, and avoid extended exposure in extreme weather conditions for your pet’s safety.
What materials are best for weather-resistant dog doors?
Aluminum and insulated plastic are ideal for weather resistance. The SB Standard Wall Mount Pet Door uses durable frame construction and seals that help reduce energy loss during harsh weather.
