Indoor pet and baby gates are especially recommended for dog owners who wouldn’t like their dogs to run free through the house. Why? It’s not unusual for dogs to explore home and to potentially knock over items, to destroy furniture and household items if they are not supervised. Indoor dog gates will allow you to confine your dog to one area of your home, while at the same time your furry companion will have an entire room or part of the house to roam. Compared to crating, it’s healthier, because your dog can get some exercise.
Of course, you might ask – what about shutting a door? Yes, sometimes you can do that, but what about the stairs? Dog gates around the stairs are the only way to keep them on one floor of the house. Also, when you use an indoor gate, it allows you to keep air flow through your rooms. This is always a good opportunity, in particular if you use an air conditioner or central heating to cool or warm your home. Indoor dog gates can simply snap into place in a doorway of almost any size. If you want to get through, you can easily unhook a dog gate. Pet owners who own a cat and a dog know that this can happen: a cat urinate in a litter house, a dog tracks dirt and causes mischief. Terrible thing! With an indoor gate your cat will have an access to litter box, while your dog won’t, if you buy a gate with small gateways on the bottom.
Indoor dog gates are easy to store away when consistent free access is needed: when you throw a party or when you are at home and you supervise your dog. Make sure the pet and baby gates you want to install are reliable, functional and of a high quality.
