Sliding Glass Dog Door
Sliding Glass Dog Door
Homes are often designed with sliding glass doors leading to the backyard. This can create a challenge for pet owners who want to install a dog door but have nowhere to place it.
Fortunately, with a sliding glass dog door, you can give your pet access to your backyard. The dog door is installed right in the glass of the sliding door giving you both functionality and an attractive look.
Why Install A Sliding Glass Dog Door?
Sliding glass dog doors offer the same great benefits of any dog door. You give your dog the freedom to come in and out as they please which can make them happier and healthier.
Dog doors reduce destructive behaviors, boredom, and accidents around the home. You’ll also love the fact that you no longer have to worry about letting your dog in and out of the house which can be very disruptive to your routine.
Dog doors are especially great for homes with new puppies and senior dogs who are more prone to accidents. It’s also great for homes with multiple dogs, so you don’t have to worry about rounding them all up once it’s time to let them back in.
The Benefits Of Sliding Glass Dog Doors
Installing a dog door right in the sliding door is a great option for homeowners who want their dog to access the yard without having to install a new door or place the dog in an unattractive area like the wall. They also do not obstruct your view like other kinds of dog doors, which is especially important if you want to keep an eye on your dog.
Furthermore, these dog doors are not limited to size and you can install a door for both small and large dogs. Sliding glass pet doors are also energy efficient and secure from intrusion.
What To Know If You Are Considering Installing A Sliding Glass Dog Door
The most important thing you need to know is you can’t just install a dog door in glass by yourself. Once the glass has been tempered, it cannot be cut without shattering.
So in order to install a sliding glass door, you need to hire a professional installation expert. They will start by measuring the area to make sure the new dog door is a great fit for both your home and your dog. Then they will install the dog door into the existing frame of your sliding glass door.
Once installed they will check back to make sure everything is working correctly. This installation method not only keeps you safe from a dangerous job, it also preserves the look and value of your home.
Once Your Dog Door Is Installed
Once you’ve installed your dog door, it may take a while to train your dog on how to use it. First, have a friend or family member help you. Have them stand outside while you stand inside. Make sure you both have a pocket full of treats. Then show your dog how to push the door and have your friend or family member call them.
Once they go outside, give them a treat. Then call them back inside, again showing them how to use the door. Once inside give them a treat. Repeat this until the understand how the door works and feel confident using it.

Best investment for our family. She was using the door after 2 days and the quality is better than the door qe started with!
Fantastic! Timely response. Excellent product. I highly recommend Through The Glass!
Did a great job with the dog door! The dogs love their new freedom. Very professional, reliable and great work!
Jason is incredible. While this option is on the expensive side, the customer service and workmanship is more than worth it. You might wonder why you would spend $$ on a custom dog door? The quality of dog door you order surpasses anything you could buy online or at a big box store. There is NO draft that comes from this door and the flaps always close properly. You could settle for other options including a panel or whole new door but you will not get the value or longevity that you would with this option. Jason was prompt and communicative. He was honest about the life of my existing patio door and did not try to up sell me anything. Installation was 30 min and very clean. You will not regret your decision or find a better installer than Jason. This is not a paid review...all I got was a great new dog door in my existing glass and relief from cleaning up dog messes! Give him a call.
Jason did a great job for us. The dog door has two flaps and seals nicely when our pup goes in and out. Also, because the entire glass door closes without gaps, our basement will be much warmer. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.
Through the Glass was fantastic! The scheduling process was easy. They made two visits to my house. The first was the measure. The second was to install. It took no time at all and saves me time every single day. They were super friendly and professional. And, to top it off, the size of the dog door is perfect and the quality is the best I’ve seen. Thanks to Through the Glass, I did not need to create a hole in the house. I am not sure who is happier, my dogs or me?
