We also have dog doors. Like Villagetinker we have the glass panel in our sliding glass door, you can get these at Lowes, Home Depot, many pet stores, and of course Amazon. Amazon will have the best selection and only takes 2 or so days to get. The slider dog door goes out to our lanai/pool deck, and we have a second from the pool deck to the back yard (we have a CYV). Before we moved in we had T&D install the second one in the lanai going to the back yard, 3 years later when T&D built our pool, we had a new one (same as previous) installed in the birdcage. We have Golden Retrievers so we're not too worried about predators, but if you have a smaller dog or cats, as Villagetinker cautions, be very cautious as there are many birds of prey in the area. If you live in the newer areas between the turnpike and SR44 be extra cautious because there are lots of alligators and other 4-footed predators coming out of the woods/wetlands. If you want one installed in your screened lanai, buy all means go to T&D and get them to install it.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
