Choosing the Right Dog Door for your Beloved Dogs

1. Measure your dog's height from the top of the shoulders, just behind the front legs, and his width at the chest, and size your dog door accordingly. 
2. Measure your dog's width. Use a tape measure to determine the widest part of his body, typically his shoulders, just below his neck. Sometimes the hips are larger, so measure just above the back legs.
3. Weigh your dog. The dog's weight may affect what kind and how durable of a dog door you should purchase, such as an electronic dog door or electromagnetic dog door for a larger dog. Dog flaps might also work for a small dog.
