A dog door can save you a load of hassle and make your pet more active if you choose the right one. However, before you make a purchase, consider the following factors.
A: If the door is too small, your pet won’t fit through. A too-big door may be difficult for them to push through. The first step to buying a pet door is to measure your pet. First, measure across their shoulders for the width. Then measure from their shoulders to the floor when they stand for the length. You’ll want a door that’s two inches more than each of these measurements.
A: Remove your door from the frame and place it on a sawhorse, facing up. Your dog door likely came with a helpful paper template. Tape this template at least three inches from the bottom edge of the door and drill a hole at each corner. Then, using a jigsaw, drill between each hole along with the template and cut out a rectangle. To decide where to drill holes for the mounting screws, place the dog door frame in the hole and, using a pencil, mark where the holes in the frame are. Next, drill a smaller hole in each spot, being careful to drill straight, so the front and back frames line up. Once all holes are drilled, you should be able to use the hardware included to attach the pet door.
