• First Impression: Dad found me a great dog door. The Patio Pet Door Quick Panel fits into a sliding glass door. There is no permanent installation, so it’s great for puppy parents who do not own their homes. Dad assembled the door himself and I fit through the dog door easily. It has a panel that can be slid into the dog door to lock me outside when I need a “time out” or lock me inside when Dad’s working in the backyard. Patio Pet Door Quick Panels are recommended for Rottweilers who live in rented homes. To save a little on shipping you may want to shop around online. Dad found a company that sold the door for the same price as the manufacturer but had free shipping. The door was still drop shipped directly from the manufacturer so it was no different, other than saving $40.

  The door did not make a great seal, so Dad went to a home improvement store and bought some extra adhesive weather stripping. He doubled up the strips on either side of the Patio Pacific panel so it makes a weather proof seal. The Quick Panel III is only a single pane of glass so if you live in a very cold area you may want to look at Patio Pacific’s double pane products.

• Conclusion: In the long run Dad thinks the Patio Pet door was well worth the money. It was a fairly steep investment, but he never has to worry about letting me outside. Plus I’ve learned to even let myself outside when I’m not feeling well. So there are absolutely no mistakes inside! Dad loves that! 3.5 out of 4 Paws just because of the price.
