Which Patio Doors Can Include a Dog Door?

Integrated dog door options are available with qualifying sliding patio doors and swinging patio doors. Availability depends on the door configuration you select, so your project specialist will confirm which doors and pet-door sizes work for your opening.

Because the pet door is factory-integrated, it is built into the door system as part of your new patio door order.

  • Qualifying sliding patio doors
  • Qualifying swinging patio doors
  • Availability depends on the selected configuration
Everyday Use

Locking Panel and Comfort Considerations

A locking panel lets you close off the pet door whenever you want, such as overnight or while you are away.

Any pet door adds an opening to the door, so ask your project specialist how the configuration and pet-door size you choose may affect comfort and performance.

Pet Door Sizing

Choose the Right Pet Door Size

Use the guide below to compare pet weight and opening dimensions. Final sizing should always be confirmed based on your pet’s actual measurements and the specific door configuration.

  • Small

    Up to 15 lbs

    Opening: 4 1/4" W × 8 1/4" H

  • Medium

    Up to 40 lbs

    Opening: 7 1/4" W × 12 1/4" H

  • Large

    Up to 100 lbs

    Opening: 9 1/4" W × 16 1/4" H

  • X-Large

    Up to 200 lbs

    Opening: 12 3/4" W × 23 3/4" H

Pet weight is a general sizing reference. Measure your pet’s width and height before selecting a final pet door size.
