I currently have a doggie door installed in my sliding door at my home. I am wondering if there is such a thing as a doggie door for an outside storm door? This is what I have at my summer cottage and I'd really like to install the same type of door there as I have for my dogs at home so they will be able to still continue with letting their selves in and out. My husband does not want to cut a hole in the house to install a doggie door as we have a old house with a block outside wall and this just is not something we will do. So if you have any other suggestions for this type of thing I would really appreciate it.

Seems like I have seen what you are decribing but I can't remember where. Have you tried checking with Fosters & Smith? Or Amazon

Be very careful with doggie doors depending on where you live. Raccoons will use them freely if you are not careful.

We had a big problem with them.

Don't worry, be Happy!

They make storm/ screen doors with the doggie door already cut in it. They are bit pricey, I saw them at Lowes.

I just looked, the brand is Larson. You may be able to shop around and find a better price.

All kinds of critters can visit you via the doggie door. Be careful. Also, screened windows at ground level leading to the basement can be dangerous with wildlife visitors getting in. If the screen is large enough, a slim burglar can also drop in.

Yes! Those doors and entry ways can let unwanted guests in.

just a quick fourth of july warning. Close and lock your doggie doors tonight as some animals get spooked and run away with scary fireworks noises.

They now also have doors that are electronic, only the chip on your pets collar can open it.

That's great to know, nunya.

Where did you find them? TIA
