In the winter, your dog spends most of his or her time indoors, which may cause your dog to become restless and look for things to get into. Keeping your dog out of trouble and out of certain areas in your home is easy with a pet gate set up at strategic locations throughout your home. Pet gates are great for use with dogs during the winter because it keeps a dog confined to a particular area without having to completely limit his or her freedom. Choose a location in your home that is dog friendly and set up a pet gate at the entrance of the room. Remember that a pet gate will not keep your dog if your dog is able to jump over the gate or it is placed in an area that allows your dog to jump over it. Here are a couple of great options for you to choose:
- The Metal Walk Thru Dog Gate by Four Paws keeps your dog safely contained and allows you to have access to the room without having to take the gate down to get into the room. This pet gate is made of durable metal that will withstand hours of wear and tear and easy to clean with a damp cloth. This gate is available in three different sizes depending on the height of your dog.
- Another pet gate that is great for confining your dog is the Hallway Security Wide Pet Gateby Bindaboo. This pet gate is pressure mounted, which makes it easy to install and has extension panels that are sold separately that make it adaptable to fit a wide range of door openings. The door swings open and allows you to have access to the room without having to take the gate down. It also comes in black or white to match your decor and is available in an extra tall height.
