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.

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.
Jason and his crew are wonderful to work with. Fantastic energy savings with high quality materials and workmanship! Well worth the investment, and professional service. Highly recommended!
Quick and easy installation and has made a huge difference in convenience for us and our 3 dogs. Highly recommend!
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.
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.
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" !!!
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?
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.
Fantastic! Timely response. Excellent product. I highly recommend Through The Glass!
This door is amazing. They were super efficient both on the estimate and installation. We would highly recommend.
They installed an excellent product. No cold air coming through, just a dog. Would highly recommend them.
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.
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!
Very pleased with my dog door! It has good insulation and very pleasing to the eye!
Thank you Jason!!!! We love our door!! Jason was so nice and professional he went above and beyond.
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 love our new dog door. Installation went well and efficiently. It’s everything we expected.
Very professional, excellent install in a timely fashion. We are pleased with our purchase!
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!!
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 did a very good job and even came back to deal with a touch-up issue. I recommend him highly.
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!
Amazing door, absolutely no draft when standing right next to it. Keeps the weather out and the heat in. And its amazing beginning able to have the whole sliding glass door back.
Very professional, quick, honest and helpful. Jason was great to work with and had our new door installed right in the window he quoted. No more drafts coming in the house, dog adjusted quickly to the new door and we are very happy with the product and service.
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.!
Great service , On install day the door was on in one hour.Came out better than I had imagined.I would definitely recommend them. I was going to install one myself but man am I glad I called these guys zero stress.
Jason is amazing and provided impeccable service . Door is high quality and looks very nice . Highly recommend.
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 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!
Did a great job with the dog door! The dogs love their new freedom. Very professional, reliable and great work!
Jason is knowledgeable and professional. I absolutely love our Hale patio slider doggie door, and more importantly, my Yorkie does too! Highly recommend!!
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!
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!
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.
Jason with Through the Glass Dog Doors did an outstanding job for us. He was always prompt, polite, courteous and cleaned up after himself. Because our slider door was either not installed properly by the installers years ago or possibly the door along with the house settled/shifted it was not your typical job but with Jason’s experience and know how he was able to dismantle as well as install the new door without too much trouble. The door is beautiful and our pooch loves being able to come and go on her own. We would confidently recommend Jason with Through the Glass Dog Doors for your doggie door needs!
Jason was really great. He came out to my home promptly, took the measurements, and once the door/glass came in, he installed it super quickly. The door looks great and I get so many compliments! The dog loves it too.
