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.
A doggie door installed in your sliding glass doors is a great option for you and your dog. It preserves one of the best features of your home while giving your dog the freedom to come in and out. They are perfect for dogs of any size, even large dogs.

We had an excellent experience with Jason at Through the Glass Dog Doors From the initial estimate, to the door delivery and installation, Jason and his team were professional, respectful of our time, and very efficient and safety conscious. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to have a dog door installed.
I appreciated the advice for making sure I had the best product. He worked quickly and efficiently, helped store away the old glass. Very pleasant person to work with. I highly recommend!
Great job by Jason on our Through the glass dog door. We previously had the standard panel dog door which was terribly energy inefficient and our kitchen was freezing on these cold wintery days. Though it was a tad expensive it’s been totally worth it. I highly recommend Jason and Through the Glass Dog Doors. Exceptional quality and highly professional !! We love our new dog door.!
We love our new dog door! Service was fast and professional, and the door is great. Our dog took to it within a day and seems to enjoy the freedom. Thank you!
Fantastic! Timely response. Excellent product. I highly recommend Through The Glass!
Through the Glass responded quickly when I reached out looking for an in-door dog door. The service was prompt and efficient. My new door looks amazing and the dogs are happy with it. I appreciate the safety of being able to lock the sliding door and the dog door. Would definitely do use them again if I ever need another one.
We highly recommend Jason and Through the Glass Dog Doors. Jason offered superior customer service throughout the process. He was informative, prompt, and communicated well from start to finish. We are impressed with the quality of the product and the install. Thanks, Jason!
I had a considerable experience with Jason at Through the Glass Dog Doors! He was in constant communication with me through out the process. When he came to my home, he was kind, and considerate of his surroundings. When he was finished with the doggy door he cleaned up and disposed plus extra. Then took his time with me to ask and answer any thoughts or concerns to insure a flawless outcome! The door looks great, seals out all wind, and more importantly my two puppers love it as well! I would highly recommend Jason and Through the Glass Dog Doors!
Wonderful experience. Very happy with my doggy door that is in glass. It’s double flapped and I don’t feel wind blow through like one I put in in NY. The owner was responsive and dependable. A great experience and worth the money.
Jason was really great to work with! I had a pretty custom need which he was able to accommodate. The entire process was smooth and straightforward, and we now have an awesome dog door in our existing sliding glass. It is absolutely perfect. Secure, wind and weatherproof, looks great, and all of our dogs love it!
Amazing experience with Jason and Through the Glass Dog Doors. The door looks amazing and my pups are already using it with ease. The installation was very fast and done with great care. I wish I had gotten one sooner!
There was no good place in our house to put a dog door until we found Through The Glass Dog Doors. We've had our door for about two years and it has paid for itself many times over now that we don't have to board our dog somewhere else every day we go to work.
Jason was extremely responsive to our inquiry, and delivered the final product not only on time, but it exceeded our expectations. High recommend Jason and his team for your reimagined dog door!
I am so happy with my dog door. It looks great - our sliding glass door is a focal point in our main living area so we didn't want just an insert. This looks really nice! We've had compliments on it even. And working with Jason was great. He was quick and explained everything to us. I would highly recommend them!
Very pleased with my dog door! It has good insulation and very pleasing to the eye!
I was very impressed with the process of getting our custom sliding door made. They friendly guys from Through the Glass took just a few minutes to measure the sliding door and returned in 3 weeks with the new door which was installed in less than half an hour. They also fixed the lock on our door which had been broken for years and carried the old piece of glass down to my storage room for me. We are very happy with the door itself, as are our four pets! Our big dog had it mastered almost immediately and our little dog took some coaxing but soon figured it out. Our cats appeared to not understand it for a while and then one day they just started using it. Typical cats. Now we can seal up the old hole in the wall dog door and keep our sliding door closed and the pets can still come and go. And without one of those inserts that make the opening awkwardly skinny for people when it is open... The glass sliding door behaves as it always has, but now the pets can go through it. It's the perfect solution!
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 is very knowledgeable and caring. Would highly recommend. Final product looks clean and we are happy. Far superior to any insert you would get.
Very professional install. Well worth the money. Jason was very knowledgeable and nice. The door is way more energy efficient than the old panel insert. Looks gorgeous.
Did a great job with the dog door! The dogs love their new freedom. Very professional, reliable and great work!
They installed an excellent product. No cold air coming through, just a dog. Would highly recommend them.
Thank you Jason!!!! We love our door!! Jason was so nice and professional he went above and beyond.
Installers were very professional and on time. Quality of door was great and works well.
Jason went above and beyond helping me get my second dog door installed in my new kitchen door- Beautiful job and the dogs and I are so happy w the results!! Only way to make us all happy was "through the glass" !!!
This door is amazing. They were super efficient both on the estimate and installation. We would highly recommend.
Best investment for our family. She was using the door after 2 days and the quality is better than the door qe started with!
Jason and team are super awesome! Very responsive, professional, and courteous! The door itself is very high quality and one of the nicest dog doors I’ve seen. Our pup and his people are very happy.
Awesome experience. It took a couple weeks to get the glass in but absolutely worth the wait and the $. The dog door itself is high quality and I don’t feel the drafts like I did with a single flap door. The dogs and humans are very happy.
Jason provided excellent service from my point of contact through completion of my dog door project. Installation was very professionally done, the new door came in sooner than expected and out dog is very happy with the result. I highly recommend this company to anyone. You will not be disappointed!
We looked and thought about getting a dog door installed in our sliding door for a couple of years. I had several estimates done. Through the Glass Doors was professional and above all else the most knowledgeable. I had the most comfort with the answers to my questions. The install was fast and proficient. We love it and our two fur kids love it!!
Great communication, service and product! Our dog learned how to use the door quickly. He loves being able to go in and out when he wants. We love that he doesn’t scratch our door anymore when he needs out. Would highly recommend this company if you are in the market for a wonderful dog door!
Jason was always prompt and explained the process of replacing the glass in our large sliding glass door. The door is western-facing, and we were concerned about the high winds up on the ridge where we are. The door seals tightly and hasn't needed the cover to keep the wind out. We highly recommend this dog door and Through the Glass Dog Door.
The dog door in our sliding glass door has been a game changer for our pups! These guys were quick, professional, and recommended some extras without doing a hard upsell. Turnaround time was quicker than expected, and the door works great! I definitely recommend their product and service!
Really happy with our new doggy door, and the dogs are too! Excellent customer service and very professional and Covid-safe installation. Our glass arrived 2 weeks earlier than originally quoted and Jason was a breeze to work with! Definitely recommend Through the Glass Dog Doors if you are looking for a high quality and space saving option for your pups.
Our dog LOVES his new dog door. Through the Dog Door was prompt with estimate and install. Very professional with whole process. Highly recommend!
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.
We love our new dog door. Installation went well and efficiently. It’s everything we expected.
