Having pets at home can make you happy and keep the stress and concerns at bay. But, for Dog owners who have doggie doors at home, home security can sometimes be a concern as the criminals may use it to gain entry into a house.

·         Use the lock on the pet door – Many doggie doors have sliding slats that lock. Use these at night and when you are away from home. 

·         Install the door in the wall – Pet doors installed in a door can be easily kicked in. Also, if the pet door is installed in the door, an intruder may be able to reach in and unlock your door even if they cannot fit through the doggie door.

·         Most important: Get an efficient alarm system like ADT home alarm system. ADT alarm systems come with highly sensitive sensors that send notifications when opened. They also sound your security system’s alarm when a criminal tries to gain entrance into your house.
