Saving Some Money

We have two wonderful fur babies that we absolutely adore. Bonnie and Clyde are very spoiled with their large fenced in back yard. Both my mom and I use a pet sitter who comes to our home daily to let the poopers out while we're at work. David makes a womping $280 per month ($70/week) just to let our dogs out to pee. It's ridiculous!

Jason and I have tossing the idea of a doggy door for some time now. I didn't like the idea of having a hole in our door or wall though. I was also worried about bugs, rain, losing heat/air conditioning, having animals other than our dogs get into our house and other safety issues. After spending a lot of time researching doggie doors, we think we have found the best there is to offer. This bad boy is meant for the frigid temps of the frozen tundra (aka Wisconsin) and has dual flaps to keep the bugs and bad weather out. The best part?? There is a doggie door that just left La Crosse WI and is headed our way via UPS. Our very own Max Seal Wall Mount Pet Door is scheduled to arrive this Thursday!

As much as I love David, it's going to be nice to save that $70 every week!

Jamie, I have used dog doors forever. We have never had another animal come in and no bugs. Our door is in the mud room so we do not get the cold. You door does not have to be very big so the chance of someone using it is slim. Marlee and Dusty could reach through ours and unlock the door. The dog door has always been a life saver. You have to be really sure that your dogs can not get out. Anyone who comes to your house to do work while you are away has to make sure they close the gate. Check your meters. Normally my dogs do not go outside unless I am at home. They may go out to potty but run back in. Good luck with your door. You will have to work with them a little to get them to use it.

We love ours. The kids love it. Maggie loves it. Lars loves not getting up at 2am to let her out. Love, love, love.
