At California Sliding Door & Window Specialists we believe pets are kings and queens of your kingdom. There's always some way to pamper your pet, whether it's a giant dog park or beach, or pet stores that carry high-end organic pet food. So when it comes to basic needs, why skimp when a a pet door could mean the world to your best friend?
Imagine if you had to call an office for approval every time you wanted to drive somewhere. It's not quite that way with dogs and cats, but it's close when there's no pet door. Dog doors and cat doors provide flexibility and freedom for you and your pets. For pooches, a dog door means they can exercise in the backyard or do their potty business when you're busy. For feline pals, a cat door is the perfect way for indoor/outdoor cats to have the comforts of home while fulfilling the instinct to prowl the neighborhood.
The good news is that San Diego Area pet owners have a variety of pet door options to choose from. Unfortunately, what's easiest for a pet door isn't necessarily the most effective -- or safest. These options include:
- Temporary pet doors for silding glass doors
- Pet doors built into a sliding glass door
- Pet doors built into screen doors
- Pet doors cut into a wall

Temporary pet doors -- the kind you buy at the pet store and put into the track of your sliding glass door -- may be convenient, but there's a trade-off. First off, there's no guarantee you'll get a door that fits perfectly. And even if it does fit well, it's still a catch-22. Since it's removable, it's always a potential security risk. The other inconvenient factors of temporary pet doors are loss of opening space to walk through and interlockers not lining up. So when you do want to insulate the room by using the closing off portion of the pet door with the plastic slate provided, air will still infiltrate through the sliding door panel and the stationary door panel due to an off set of the interlockers.
Much More Than Just A Pet Door
Consider the other options. Pet doors built permanently into doors have no issues with ill-fitting parts. Since they're part of the actual door, there's no chance of extra security worries. In addition, because these are permanent installations, temperature leaks are kept to a minimum. After all, dog doors and cat doors installed into a door don't have track areas to allow drafts in or leak heat out.
Of course, you deserve the best as well. Temporary doors come in whatever shape, color, and trim is in stock -- there's no guarantee that those cat or dog doors will match your designs. When a pet door is permanently installed into your screen door, sliding door, patio door or the wall, it seamlessly integrates, providing functionality while never looking out of place.
With these options in mind, you might still be wondering why you should get a pet door. Sure, a dog door or cat door may not be altogether necessary, but ultimately, they provide a level of freedom and comfort that make pets feel better. While they'll always look to you for care and companionship, a pet door will fulfill their curiosity and independent instinct.
