Finding a Dog-Proof Screen

It’s summer and there’s nothing better than letting the fresh air into your house and leaving the door open. But when you have dogs, you may want a dog-proof screen to keep them from running out.

When looking for pet-proof screens, they are typically sold in rolls and need to be cut and installed into the door frame. Make sure you read the instructions and list of required materials so that you have everything you need.

Always remember, all screens are not the same. Standard screens don’t always hold up to the wear and tear that comes with dogs and you may need something with strength to prevent holes from forming. It is always great to have back up rolls of screen in case a repair is needed.

Below are a few screen choices specifically for houses with dogs.

This single roll screen is highly rated and perfect for replacements. The screen is resistant to pet-inflicted damage and was designed to absorb light and have more visibility. Size and pricing vary.

This pet screen kit has everything you need and it highly rated. The polyester pet-proof screen is stronger than standard fiberglass.

This mesh curtain is a great alternative to a screen. The curtain allows for easy access to come and go, however it’s not insect and critter friendly and won’t keep them out.

Based on your dog and your household, you’ll find the perfect dog screen in no time.
