Operating the Pet Door
The PetSafe Extreme Weather Aluminum Pet Door allows your pet to enter and exit freely. The magnetic flaps ensure the door closes securely after each use, minimizing drafts and maintaining indoor temperatures. To restrict access, simply slide the included closing panel into the designated slots. Training your pet to use the door can be facilitated with positive reinforcement, such as treats.
Maintenance
Regular inspection of the flaps for wear and tear is recommended. The durable design, with its metal frame and reinforced aluminum corners, is built for longevity, even in active households. Replacement flaps are available if needed to maintain optimal performance and energy efficiency.
Troubleshooting
If the pet door is not sealing properly, check the magnetic strips on the flaps for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the door is installed correctly and securely. For issues with pet training, continue using positive reinforcement and guide your pet through the opening until they are comfortable.
