Pet parents everywhere are torn between being a 24/7 doorman and finally installing a dog door for sliding glass doors or front door. But then the questions hit: Will it ruin my beautiful front door?

You know what they say—first impressions matter. And let’s be honest, when neighbors (or trick-or-treaters) walk up to your home this fall, your front door is the stage where all the spooky, cozy, pumpkin-spiced magic happens.
