Debunking Pet Door Installation and Other Pet Door Myths

For dog and cat owners, pet doors are a great addition to your home to give your pet the freedom they need to in and out and when they want. Most pet owners, though, do have some concerns about pet doors which has led to several different myths relating to pet door installation and others which we are going to debunk.

Myth #1: “Pet Door Installation Is Just for Doors”

There is a wide range of pet door products on the market today. You can find pet doors that work with traditional doors, sliding glass doors, screen doors, windows, and more! You can even install pet doors in various areas inside the home too!

Myth #2: “Pet Doors Let in Pests, Bugs, and Other Animals”

A high-tech pet door addresses this myth. If your pet is microchipped, you can program the door to only respond to their microchip. If not, you can get a special collar they wear that allows them to open the door when they want in and out of the home.

Myth #3: “The Flaps on Pet Doors Are All the Same”

While pet door flaps function similarly, they are all different. Some designs have magnets and are heavier for larger pets. Other designs are clear plastic and use microchip pet door technology to open and close. Some designs include climate and weatherproofing features.

Myth #4: “Having a Pet Door Makes It Easier to Break Into My Home”

Most adults will not fit through a pet door at all. Would-be burglars will not want to try to break into a home with a pet door anyway—they have no idea what animal will await them inside your home! If you are worried about security, invest in a high-tech pet door or get a security door cover to lock the door when it isn’t in use.

Now that these pet doors myths have been debunked, it is time to make life easier on you and your pets by buying a pet door for your home. Please feel free to browse our selections in our online store or contact Australia Pet Doors at 0437-644-330 for further assistance today!
