Pet Door Installation Options
When choosing the location for your pet door, take into consideration:
- Size of your cat or dog now and in the future
- Traffic patterns both inside the house and out for pets and people
- Ease or difficultly your pet may experience using the pet door when it's older
- Use of the pet door by all of your pets if you have dogs and cats of different sizes
