Dog door...
We are considering getting a door for Lucy. Our current house is shrinking (or the family keeps growing) so we will be looking to upgrade our house within the next 1-2 years. Will putting a door in the wall (has to go in the kitchen) make it hard to resell the house?

Re: Dog door...
I don't think anyone on this board uses one. For one thing, it's dangerous for the dog to have access to the outdoors if no one is home. Also, if your dog can get in the house, then so can other critters.
One regular posted pictures of the horror scene that her co-worker came home to: a raccoon or something came into the house through the dog door, and her dogs attacked and killed it. There was blood on EVERYTHING and the dogs and the owners all had to get rabies vaccines.
I would say it would reduce the value. We had a dog door that went in the track of our sliding glass door so it could be removed. After the ladies on here explained the dangers of it to me, we ended up crate training and only opened the dog door if we were outside. It was excruciatingly hot where we lived at the time so it was nice for our german shepherd to be able to go inside when she got too hot.
My parents have a dog door and just recently (last June) sold their house. Their dog door was in the storm door so they could shut the normal door when they needed to close it off. Since it was in a door they didn't have any problems selling their house.
I agree with PP that you gotta be careful with them and like Sammy's suggestion of how they use theirs.
In the wall? When we were house hunting, that was enough to make me turn around and leave without even seeing the rest of the house. In the door...not so bad, but I would have asked the owners to replace the door if we put in an offer.
I'm not completely against dog doors...but if I put a dog door into my own house, it would be one of the $$$ doors that had electronic keys on my dogs collars to help keep critters and robbers out.
Have you seen my monkey?
LOL, yes, that would be a concern, with the dog-door-size yours would need!
