Dog Doors for Screen Doors

A dog door for screen doors is nice to have during the warmer months when your dog wants to enjoy the shade of the patio as well as the outdoors throughout the day! Most dog doors for screen doors are made for pets smaller than 30 pounds because they are mounted in the center of the screen area of your house door, sliding screen doors or window and do not utilize the door or window frame for support. America's Pet Store would recommend limiting use of this type of screen dog door to cats and small dogs. If you have a medium to large size dog, Hale manufactures a nice line of large dog doors for screen doors.

A large or more active dog would easily destroy most small screen dog doors, since they have little support from the screen door. America's Pet Store sells two models of this less expensive type of pet screen door. They are the PetSafe Pet Screen Door and the Ideal Pet Passage.

Hale Security Pet Door, the manufacturer of a wide variety of pet doors, manufacturers an extensive line of dog doors for screen doors for all sizes of dogs including large dogs! The reason why Hale's line of dog doors for screen doors can be used with large dogs is because the Hale line uses two sides of the screen door or window frame to mount the dog door. This gives the dog screen door significantly more durability and support.

Additionally, for all large dog doors for screens, Hale also recommends using a stabilizer bar placed at the top of the dog screen door. This will give stability on three sides of the dog door. You can purchase this stabilizer bar separately or with the purchase of any dog door for screen doors at America's Pet Store. Be sure to note that since a Hale pet screen door sits right on top of the house door frame, you must purchase a taller dog screen door than you would otherwise because the door will probably be sitting closer to the floor in this configuration than it would if you could mount the dog door based on the height of the dog's legs.

Dog Doors for screen doors have many uses, and can also be installed in screened windows between the kitchen and patio as a food and drink pass-through!
