Thanks for the heads up regarding Arizona.
Considered such a convenience for fur babies until neighbor installed a doggie,-raccoon,-opossum door. They also had two rattle snakes in garage (After leaving door open.)
Good morning ma!
Very clear pros and cons to doggie doors, now that we have one in use.
They might be OK for a door in an outside room or porch that would not permit ingress into the home per se but would give a pet shelter from inclement weather wherein they could then be let into a home at the convenience of the owner.
Congratulations on a major milestone (roof) being completed on your home.
