Extra Large Dog Doors For Sliding Glass Doors

If you have vinyl sliding door tracks, like many Pella and Anderson sliding doors have, you will need to purchase a pet door panel insert that is specifically designed for vinyl sliders. Two brands above are made for vinyl sliding doors, but the Ideal VIP model does not have an extra large flap. The flap is only 10 1/4 x 15 3/4 (w x h). We've included it anyway just in case it might work but if you have a giant breed such as a Great Dane or Rottweiler you'll need a bigger pet entrance. In that case see Hale Omni Pet Door Panel Inserts made for vinyl doors.

If the price on the Hale Omni is out of your reach there may be another solution.

Some people have successfully installed a Patio Pacific Pet Door in their vinyl sliders, even though they are not designed for vinyl sliding doors. The Patio Pacific panel is less than an inch thick...which is a lot thinner than the track on your vinyl doors. Successful installation requires shimming to get a good tight fit. Patio Pacific pet doors are among the highest quality pet doors on the market and they cost a lot less than Hale's Omni panels.
