Door Model v. Other Models

The choice of pet door model ultimately depends on your specific requirements as a pet owner and homeowner. While our door model pet doors are popular for their ease of installation, we also offer other models, allowing you to choose based on your preferred installation location.

Many homeowners opt for pet doors that lead directly to a secure backyard. Given the unique layout of each home, the most straightforward way to achieve this is often by installing a pet door in an existing door that already leads outside.

Our door model pet doors are particularly popular due to their ease of installation. Installing a pet door through a wall can be complex, requiring careful consideration of structural elements and the avoidance of electrical and plumbing. In contrast, installing a pet door in an existing door is a simpler process that requires less planning and eliminates the risk of damaging utility lines during installation.

The Importance of Quality Pet Doors

We are committed to providing a high-quality product that not only serves you and your pet but also ensures the security of your home is not compromised by the installation of our pet doors. Every Dog Proofer pet door is manufactured in the USA by Hale Pet Doors. Each door is made-to-order with the highest quality workmanship and finest materials available.

Our product also comes with an unmatched factory warranty for your peace of mind. By choosing a Dog Proofer pet door, manufactured in partnership with the leading pet door manufacturer Hale Pet Doors, you are granting your pet the liberty to enjoy the outdoors at their leisure. It’s an investment that both you and your furry companion will appreciate. Whether you’re looking for a dog or a cat door for any door in your home, Hale Pet Door has a door model pet door that will work great for you.

Gone are the days of having to be home to let your pet outside to go to the bathroom, or trek outside in the dark or cold weather to call them back in. With a pet door, your dog or cat can come and go from your home as they please, and you don’t need to be around to help them.

Our door model pet doors have a variety of options to fit best for your pet and your home. We offer door dog doors and door cat doors in sizes small to giant to accommodate your furry friend of any size — from chihuahuas to great danes. We offer other customizable options like the number of flaps on your pet door, the frame color, and many other options.

Customize your door so it works well for your pet and blends seamlessly into the design of your home.

 Finding the Right Size Pet Door

Each Dog Proofer pet door is ‘made-to-order,’ and our partnership with Hale provides us with a large variety of ‘standard’ pet door sizes or the ability to create custom sizes to suit any application.

Measure from the top of your pet’s shoulder to the ground

The flaps of the pet door should be a maximum of 1-2 inches above the top of your pet’s back, not the head. Getting this height requires measuring from the “withers” (top of your pet’s shoulders) down to the floor. Remember your door is not placed flush with the floor (it will be slightly higher than the floor). For multiple pets sharing a household, measure the tallest one.
A tip from the experts: If you are struggling to get your dog to remain still for measurements, try standing next to your dog and marking your finger level with your pet’s shoulders on your leg, then measure from the floor to that spot on your leg!

Face your pet and measure across their chest!

Hopefully, this is the easy one! Measure your pet at its chest’s widest point and then add 1-2 inches to ensure a comfortable fit.
A tip from the experts:If you have trouble getting this measurement, you can open a door just wide enough for your pet to pass through and measure the width of the opening, again adding 1-2 inches for the most comfortable fit. If your pet is long-haired, don’t forget that this may make them appear wider than they really are!

Dog Proofer Pet doors are designed to make DIY installation a breeze. Because of this, many customers choose to install their new pet door on their own. Download Door Model Installation Instructions
