Dogs and cats are quite curious and like to roam, so having a pet door is a sensible way to give them that freedom. They can go out and come in when they are ready and yet have a retreat if they need it from predators or weather changes. It would also benefit them if they needed to exit the house due to an emergency, like a fire.

These doors come in as many sizes as do dogs. So not to worry, your pet isn’t too big, or too small, for the convenience and safety offered by a dog door.

When buying a dog door, the options are endless, as with anything else. A quick internet search will offer up thousands of hits. So it is best to have a sense of your priorities going into the process.

Knowing where you intended to have the dog door installed is a good first step, along with a sense of your budget. Additionally, you have the option of installing the dog door yourself, or having it professionally installed.

A dog door can be installed in most styles of windows or doors (Screens, French doors, sliding glass doors, insulated metal doors, garage doors, kennels, etc). Depending on the style of door, pricing can range from @$115 - $700+. This can certainly be a “do it yourself” project, if you choose. Not so handy? There are several companies who will do the installation for you.

If your dog is small, medium, or large, you can find a door that will be for that reason accommodating to your pet. Just make sure you have the proper measurements in width and the height of your dog.

As you search the various styles, you will find simple door flaps, to electronic, and automatic. The more sophisticated ones use sensors that are placed on the dog’s tag and collar. Making it very convenient for your dog to travel freely from inside the house to outside the house.

Your pet’s safety is a top concern, so be sure to look for a company who places great emphasis on both the security of your home and the safety of your pet, when making your selection or seeking an estimate. Additionally, seek a pet door whose company offers a warranty, customer service, replacement parts and training advice, so your pet quick becomes comfortable with their new door.

For safety you should look for a locking dog door or check out infrared dog doors as a starting point.

Let’s face it students, we’re only at college so we can party right? Instead of throwing a dull normal party, consider one of these enjoyable college party ideas. You will be remembered in perpetuity!

1. Hollywood - A Hollywood theme party can be further broken into smaller themes. A favourite movie, an actor or perhaps an oscar night? Your friends will appreciate the opportunity to dress up as glamorous as possible and this theme is undemanding to throw as many of the props needed, most people already have!

2. Toga - Toga parties are college favourites due to their ease and cost effectiveness. You need to recreate an ancient Greek or Roman setting ie with pillars and busts etc. The toga is really simple to make, it can in fact be a white bed sheet and you are set.

3. Mexican - The food at your Mexican party is going to be a big centre piece. Get plenty of tacos and allow your guests to choose thier own filling from the beef dishes and chilli’s on offer. Corona and lime, also plenty of margaritas for drink.

4. James Bond - This is an occasion for the ladies to dress up as glamorous as possible, they will thank you for the opportunity. The guys, choose your favourite Bond or Bond villain; Jaws, Oddjob or Blotheld!

5. Hawaiian - This theme should centre around a surf shack. Ideally this is where your visitors would make their own cocktails like the Aloha or the Hawaiian Heartbreaker. Scatter sea shells and coconuts around the place. The food should be plenty of fruit on skewers, allow your company to skewer their own from the bowls provided.

6. French - consume fancy wine and devour cheese on a French loaf. Play French cafe music to make it authentic. Your company should go a week without showering before the party.
