Replacement Dog Door

So, you’re considering getting a replacement dog door?

Read these pointers, be aware of them before you decide to remove the current one you’ve got. Do you know for sure that you can actually get a replacement flap? Can you imagine if none were available and you had ripped out the old pet door.

As an alternative idea, you might be interested in getting a brand new model completely, if you can’t find a replacement for what you currently own. Do you really think you need a new pet door? You know, many times you can simply replace the flap, hinges and screws, using some silicone adhesive to aid in securing it.

The first thing would be to contact the manufacturer or supplier.

IF the current frame is of sound construction then I’d strongly recommend you just replace the flap and screws, and possibly the hinges. The parts are incredibly inexpensive. You may have considered getting rid of your pet door, especially if there are quite a few neighborhood animals. What for? Ironically many people report that neighbors pets come in to their houses and steal the food left out for their own precious pet.

That is not good.

Another suggestion is to switch to radio controlled or cpu-controlled units that only allow access for your pet.

If you decide to get rid all together then don’t forget to remember that now your pet nees you to open the door for him or her. What about setting aside somewhere in the house as a temporary relief area? Naturally this is only really ideal for cats though.
