Optional wall kit allows you to trap up to 9 inches of air which creates an unmatched buffer for your home The materials that your dog doors constructed out of are also worth noting. Generally, there are two different materials that you will be choosing from. There are plastic frames and then there metal frames. This is pretty simple to figure out, and it depends upon the size of your dog and how active they are. A plastic frame is usually going to be appropriate for smaller dogs or those that are less active. If you have an active dog and you get a dog door that is large enough for him to be able to pass through easily without brushing up against the sides, then plastic may be appropriate. On the other hand, metal dog doors are much more able to stand up to abuse. Of course the disadvantage with metal dog doors is that they cost more than their plastic counterparts. A Word about Energy Efficiency Radiofrequency Chips: Finally, radiofrequency chips are the more basic form of RFID. They work on radio frequencies and open the doors based upon those frequencies. However, there is no information embedded into the signal that tells the door whether or not it is okay to open it. That means that if another dog wearing a radiofrequency chip were to approach the door, it would open for him or her just as if it would open for your own pet. Choosing the Right Size Higher-priced pet doors offer superior energy efficiency, durability, and warranties compared to economically priced pet doors, which can potentially save you money in the long run.

That’s why it’s important that you only install them on your door if you have a safe, fenced-in yard and take certain precautions as a pet owner. Otherwise, your dog could wander off and get lost, or risk getting hit by a car.Measuring the width is easy too. Open a door just enough to let your dog pass through it. Then measure that space and that should be the right width. Although you can add an inch in case your fur baby gains a few pounds.
