How to
Measure Your Puppy, Dog or Cat for a Doggie Door
Before you get started remember to allow for
your pet's growth if he is a puppy and not fully
grown.
Step 1: Measure your pet from the top
of the shoulders to the chest, just behind the
front legs.
Step 2: This measurement is the cutout
size that determines the pet door size you need.
Step 3: Determine the type of pet door
you need (metal vs. plastic).
Tip:
Get
a large piece of cardboard and cut an opening
the size of the flap.
See if your pet is able to
get through this opening. If you get the width
right you will be
able to adjust the height when you install the
door.
