Granted, it's a wall, not a fence, so there is a bit more protection. But no way would they be out there without our supervision.

Fence for my dog.
We are looking at Verandas because we have a dog and just thought it would be easier to let him at night. We weren’t planning on him ever being out unattended. Is this possible in TV or will he end up getting eaten?

It’s not just what might try to eat him. What if he were to find a scorpion or a snake or a palm rat? Would you want him to eat a palmetto bug?

Thanks - this changes our house search criteria.

Don't change your search. All the "disasters" listed have never happened to us in the last 12 years. I love having free reign for our pups out on the patio. If you plan on sitting outside, it is nice to have them with you. When we sit on the front porch, we have to have them on lines or leashes.

We back up to the prairie, with a drop of 10’ wall, and a fence on top of the wall. While we aren’t fenced in. we do have predators.
Bob cat runs along the outside of the fence setting off our cameras nightly. The little family of coyotes Mom, Dad, and 3 pups travel between our pool and the wall. No snakes in our area, but around the corner are couple of coral snakes We have bird of prey that sit on the house next door, watching our 4 pound cat in the birdcage. Unlikely they will ever figure out how to open the screened doors, but they could have escaped from a circus. As far as palmetto bugs, she has eaten or tried to eat on two separate occasions. Took her a week of vomiting, and other intestinal issues to recover. Vet said it will work itself out. Keep hydrating. You didn’t say how big your pet is, but I will admit when our grand dogs visit at 45 pounds they are never out alone day or night. I wouldn’t change search, for a veranda or CYV, but just caution at night

Agree. Chances are with OP's budget, he won't be backing up to a prairie, but I wouldn't worry about predators, depending on the dog's size. I would definitely not let them out unsupervised, even if they're larger. As I speak we're sitting out on the patio of our CYV. There's a great breeze, it's cool and pleasant, and the dogs are running around chasing anoles that they will never catch. It's sooo nice to be out here after the 90+ hot sun day. And having the rascals out here with us makes it even better.
