Does your four-legged friend constantly demand that you open the door when they want to go outside or come back inside? A front door with a built-in passage for a dog or cat may be the solution. It is a practical option that makes life easier for both pet owners and their pets. Find out what the advantages of such doors are, what to look out for when choosing them and how to install them.
Why is it worth buying a front door with a built-in cat or dog flap?
A door with a small, opening pet flap is a great solution that provides:
- Freedom for your pet - the animal can come and go as it pleases, which reduces stress and improves its quality of life.
- Convenience for the owner –no more constantly opening the door, especially at night or in winter.
- Heat saving - special models with seals minimise heat loss.
- Safety and security – modern doors can be fitted with a lock or a chip access system to keep out uninvited guests, such as stray cats.
Types of pet doors integrated into the front door
There are several types of dog and cat doors on the market:
1. With a lock – they allow you to set the opening modes (e.g. only entrance, only exit, closed, open).
2. With a microchip – they only open for a pet whose chip is programmed in the system, which prevents access by foreign animals.
3. With a magnet – they work with a collar hanger, opening only for your pet.

What should you look for when choosing a front door with a built-in cat or dog flap?
If you are planning to buy a door with a cat or dog flap, here are some key points to consider:
- Size – adapted to the size of the animal so that it can pass through freely.
- Material – robust, resistant to weather conditions and mechanical damage.
- Thermal insulation – important especially in the cold months.
- Safety – models with a microchip or a lock ensure better control over which cat or dog comes and goes.
If your cat or dog likes to spend time in the garage, you can also install a pet door in the garage door.
