If you’ve ever watched your pup staring longingly at the back door, wishing to roam freely - you’re not alone. Doggy doors are a simple upgrade that can transform life for both pet and owner.
Luckily, you don’t have to search far - Canine & Co, one of South Africa’s leading pet retailers, carries a wide range of dog doors and pet steps suited to local needs.
Why a Doggy Door Can Change the Game
-
Independence & Comfort
Dogs can step outside at will - no more pacing or whimpering at the back door. -
Less Stress for You
Whether you’re away or busy, your dog doesn’t have to wait on you. -
Better Outdoor Time
More sniffing, more play, more sunshine - especially in our Cape climate.
How to Pick the Right Door - With Items You Can Already Find at Canine & Co.
1. Size & Fit
Measure your dog’s height and width - ensure the opening is comfortably larger. Canine & Co offers doors for small, medium, and large dogs.
2. Material & Weather Protection
Look for doors with tight seals, durable materials, and insulating properties. These are especially useful in South Africa’s varied climates.
3. Smart Features & Security
Some doors are microchip-enabled or have locking panels. If you live in a neighbourhood with stray animals, these features can give you peace of mind.
4. Placement & Installation
Canine & Co stocks accessories like mounting adapters and tunnel extenders to help with tricky installations.
5. Ease for Senior Pets
Combine with ramps or steps to reduce strain on joints.
