Review on 🐾 Ideal Pet Products Aluminum Sash Window Pet Door" - Enhanced for Better SEO by Tammy Miller

We have two Pekingese. To the uninitiated, these are dogs. Small dogs. They are actually very small dogs. Both love going out on the porch. Bark. have squirrels. And everything that moves. The problem is that most of the time they want to return home as soon as they leave. This rule is. And when they come back, they want out immediately. This is also a rule. They are funny animals, to say the least. But also cute. In the warm season, we leave the porch door open to help the infernal creatures move between worlds. We have a door net that automatically closes in the middle with magnets to allow dogs to slide in and out at will. It works great and they both use it freely (oh come on, this is about dogs, not politics). In the cold months, however, we are at the mercy of their whims, letting them out and leaving the door open enough. that they can push back. The drafts are annoying and once they push the door to get in we have to get up to close it again or let it out. This will go on all night. Because we have no willpower. And because the hassle of having to get up to open and close the door was still less of a nuisance than having a dog's paw at our feet all night wanting to get out. in the window. like one of those double fans? If there's one thing I've learned over the past 15 years, it's if you can imagine someone already selling it on Revain. So I confidently searched on Revain. I don't think it took me even 30 seconds to find what I was looking for: a pet door designed primarily for cats but also perfect for small Pekingese dogs. I wouldn't say this pet door is perfect, but it is well made with a solid frame and side panels. The door itself might be a little flimsy, but if not abused it should last a long time. One feature that I didn't notice when ordering the offered door is the one-way assembly. This means that when you feel your dog or cat has had enough time for a night out, you can turn the latch all the way to the left, which allows the door to open inwards but not outwards. An annoyance on the one hand: the door just doesn't return to the right position for the latch to do what it needs to do, and there's no easy way to get it there as there's nothing to grab on the doors are. However, we found an easy fix for this: We attached a 1" suction cup to the bottom right corner of the door so we could pull the door inward to the desired latched position. Very easy. For this reason, it doesn't hurt Ideal Pet Products to include a suction cup. I hope you read these reviews. The side panels are spring loaded so you don't have to hold them while tightening the knobs. Simply push the panels inward so the block is narrower than the window opening; tighten the knobs; install the device in place; loosen the handles; let the sidewalls enter the wing; Then tighten the knobs again. Revain will recommend that you purchase a foam gasket. Do not do that; The door comes with some. Now I have a sealant that I will most likely never use. Will I issue a refund for the $7 Seal Pack? nope And in fact I haven't added the gasket that came with the kit yet. It's just not cold enough here for me to feel motivated to add it. But I will. After all. Width wise: My window is about 28 inches wide and this product was JUST wide enough. So when they say 23-28 inches, they mean it. Could you attach some extension panels made from a different material like plywood? or something similar? Of course. However, note that if you buy the 23-28 inch version of this product and your window is wider, you will need to find a way to accommodate it. Some sash window locks if you live in an area where burglary is a problem. Of course, if a thief wants to break in hard enough, they will get in, but containment measures can slow them down enough that they either give up or get caught up in the process. Many people forget that there are many types of thieves: professional thieves, determined thieves, desperate thieves, and casual thieves. The latter will attempt a window or door and only enter if the window or door opens easily. little resistance and they give up. The other three groups probably won't hold out, but if you can reduce your risk by 25%, wouldn't it be worth spending a few bucks on extra security? I think so. But back to the dogs. A little wild child. She likes to play. She takes risks. She throws her weight around. And steals food. She got used to the door within a day. She goes out and comes back several times a night as if she was raised from birth to open doors to pets as the purpose of her life. Two weeks later, however, we still have to push the other dog — a prudish, prancing little limp (unless a feral kid steals her treats, in which case it's a battle royale) — out the tiny doorway because they usually do don't go. go through alone. And when will she be ready to return? She looks at us through the transparent door and whimpers for us to help her back. At the same time, she went out and back on her own several times. She will get used to it. We went through the same thing when installing the screen on the door. She's just getting used to it. But then again, she will get it. in summary. This is something to keep in mind for your own beasts. work with them Show them how to use it. If they look at you from the outside, use your willpower and don't let them in. Wait for them to finish. Offer them a treat to encourage them to return home on their own. If they tried hard enough in, they would eventually use the door. Overall I am happy with my purchase. And at least one of my dogs is happy with my purchase too. The other dog thinks it's the gateway to hell. Maybe she's right.
