Heating and cooling accounts for 50-70% of the energy costs for the average home. Dog doors haven't changed much over the years and an insulated dog door that seals airtight is long over due. Installing an insulated dog door is a simple way to save.
A dog door that is not insulated and leaking air will negatively affect the energy efficiency of your home. A leaky dog flap results in heat loss in the winter and heat entering your home in the summer. It pays off to install an insulated dog door and keeps paying off with better comfort and energy savings.
The top 5 reasons to install an insulated dog door include
- Improved home comfort
- Better energy efficiency
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Lifetime of savings
- Lower energy bills
Where do I find the most insulated dog door?
It is very important to find an insulated dog door to reap the benefits. One factor that is even more important than insulation is air sealing. Properly air sealing such cracks and openings in your home can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create a healthier indoor environment.

Freedom Pet Pass pioneered the first dog flap that seals airtight using patent-pending air sealing technology for an airtight seal. The thermal pet flap is made entirely of thermal materials that reduce the flow of heat transfer. The stable thermal performance of these insulated materials can result in significantly lower heating and cooling costs - savings that really add up over the life of the dog door.
The first dog door to independently test its performance gives you peace of mind.
An independent Energy Star home sealing engineer performed an air leakage and thermal imaging test on the Freedom Pet Pass pet door. Their pet flaps do not have any detectable air leakage while performing the air leakage test, and the multi-layer of SBR rubber and two layers of marine grade canvas come in with a total R-value of approximately of 0.35. R-value is an indication of how well a material insulates. Click here for complete test results performed by an independent Energy Star home sealing engineer
