Are you looking for a dog door that works well in the cold weather. Do you live in Canada or the the Midwest and need a pet door that can withstand extreme temperatures and stop the cold drafts from coming inside? Do you currently own a dog door with a plastic flap that curls up when the temperature drops below freezing? My Dad installed a pet door 3 years ago and the pet flap warped allowing massive amounts of cold air into the home. To add insult to the problem the dogs began chewing the warped flap. What a mess!
If this sounds familiar or you want to prevent this from happening here are some tips when deciding to buy and install a dog door in a cold weather climate.
- Do not install a pet door with a plastic flap because it will warp, curl, and or crack
- Do not install a dog door with aluminum or metal parts because metal acts as a conductor of cold
- Choose a dog door made only of energy efficient materials
- Choose a dog door with a pet flap that seals and allows zero air infiltration
- Choose a dog door with a pet flap that provides a good thermal barrier
- If possible install the dog door on the side of the house that receives the least amount of wind
Hopefully these tips help you choose a dog door that will work best for you in your cold climate.
To be honest the only dog door that meets this criteria is the Freedom Pet Pass. If anyone knows of a dog door that is as energy efficient as the dog door we manufacture we would love to hear from you. We test our products with Energy Star home sealing engineers to exceed the standards previously set by other dog door manufacturers.
Do you live in a cold climate and thinking about installing a dog door? What are some important benefits you are looking for in a dog door?
