We have had a couple dog doors through the years. This one is a bit pricey but very safe. It can be locked down when not in use for your pets.

You never know when someone is going to decide to try to get into your home using a dog door. I have a cousin who is quite petite and she could actually climb through our other one.

If someone would try to use this as access to our home, they would be on the receiving end of our large breed dog who takes a dim view of any stranger entering or leaving our home.

We put this right in the wall, so we own it from now on. When our cats are out in the house, we keep it closed. When we go away, the cats go into another room for safe keeping and the dogs have the use of their dog door to be able to go outside and potty.

It's wonderful!

Pros: This is a security dog door! This is the safest way to go when you install a dog door.

Cons: None

With Doberman the door has to be so large I have been reluctant to get one. But this has those nice locks that would be much safer.

Pros: safer than the regular

Cons: still have a man size hole
