Microchip Dog Door Fitting
A microchip dog door only unlocks for your dog — no foxes, no strays, no next door's Labrador. We size it to your breed and fit it properly into uPVC, composite or glass.
Why Microchip Rather Than Manual
A manual dog door is a hole with a flap on it — anything strong enough to push can come through, and in most gardens that eventually means a fox. A microchip pet door stays physically locked until a registered chip is within range.
It also solves the multi-pet household: you can give the dog outdoor access while keeping an indoor-only cat, or a recovering pet, safely inside.

For day one you need six things: a carrier, two litter trays, food and water bowls, the food the breeder was using, a bed, and a scratching post. Everything else can wait. Budget roughly £250–£400 on setup and £900–£1,200 for the first year including vaccinations, neutering, microchipping and insurance. A cat flap comes later — after vaccinations, neutering and four weeks settling indoors.
