Before selecting the pet doors the pet owners should plan and decide on the placement of large pet doors and accordingly buy them. Large pet doors can be placed either on the door or wall either for inside access or outside access. Normally large pet doors might be place in any of the house doors or walls. When moving from one house to another the pet owners can take the door along with them or can replace them with a normal door. Most often large pet doors are fit to the doors as cutting the wall would require the help of a licensed contractor to avoid cutting through the pipes or electrical wires on the wall.

Various factors come in to picture when it comes to the selection of large pet doors. Some of the factors include security aspect, features and price of the large pet doors, opening size, temperature or weather conditions, prevention of intruders or unwanted pets and provision for multiple pet accesses.

The large pet door price depend on the opening size of the door as big doors cost a little more than the ordinary ones, door seal prevents entry of bugs, lowers the cooling and heat loss when the seal of the door is of good quality, durability and reliability of the doors, cleaning facility, powered doors, electric door locks and many more.

Security is also an important aspect when it comes to the selection of the large pet doors. When these doors are installed in the currently used door, the house owners should be careful enough to prevent the entry of others as anyone can get through it and unlock the main door. Doors can be secured using double keyed dead bolts.

Buyers should also consider buying large pet doors that can cope up with extremes temperatures and weather conditions like wind and snow. When not chosen properly they can get stiff, brittle and might not properly seal.

When the household had more than one pets, the pet doors that are installed should be appropriate for the largest pet in the house so that others too can pass through it safely and securely. When electronic locking doors are installed it is better to take the purchase of keys and their expenses in to consideration.

Initially the pets might be hesitant to use the newly installed door, but they can be trained if planned correctly. The pet owners can place foods in front of the door and encourage the pets to pass through it or show them how it works, train them to pull the door and so on. But they should never be pushed via the door. Patience and proper training only will fetch good results.
