Should I Purchase My Pet Gate Online?

2016/5/4 10:07:14

There are so many legitimate reasons to purchase a pet gate for your dog, cat, teacup pig, rabbit or other exotic animal. Pet gates allow you to confine your pet to one specific area. They allow you to decide which room you want to keep your pet in. They help when you have company and don't want your dog jumping all over your family or friends.

I think the best thing is the ability to move them around to different areas in the home. It just makes training and care of your pet so much easier. Much better than if your pet had freedom to roam everywhere and get into trouble.

If you have pets, you are going to need pet gates at some point. I don't know about you, but I don't always want my pets following me everywhere I go. Few things bug me as much as my dog betting between my feet when I am making dinner. Thank goodness I can put a gate up at the kitchen door and cook in peace. I don't have to worry that I might trip and spill something hot on my dog. We are both better for the separation.

Pet gates of all sorts can be found online. Tension mounted gates are those that use springs to create tension between the gate and the wall. The tension holds the gate in place. If you have to gate an area that you access frequently, find one that has a door option, it makes life easier.

Hardware mounted gates require you to drill into the wall studs for stability. These are great for heavier and larger dogs who insist on leaning on a gate and watching your every move. They also work better for larger openings.

Finally, you can get a free standing gate. This gate has a set of slats and long, plastic coated feet. It stays in place by the good grace of your animal and training. My dog just nudged at it until he got through, so I chose a different style.

Even cats can be trained to stay on the opposite side of a gate. You want to make sure that the space between the slats is small enough that they can't just walk through. Mesh or diamond shaped openings are best for them. Take a look at the selection online, you are certain to find something that works for you.
