Reasons to adopt a senior pet in Fort Worth
November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and our team of pet door installation experts in Fort Worth are excited to give you a few of the reasons to consider adopting a senior pet.
They're Instant Companions
Many people believe that senior pets who’ve been adopted seem to know how fortunate they are that you’ve given them a home when no one else would. They’ll spend every second from the moment you take them home with you showing their love and gratitude, cementing an instant bond between the two of you.
They're Less Energetic Than Younger Pets
Most older pets are well past their chaotic stage of never-ending energy and varying levels of destruction. While they’ll still appreciate a daily walk and some playtime, they’re also completely happy to lounge around and curl up next to you. They won’t require the same amount of monitoring and cleaning up after as young pets, so if you’ve been hesitant to adopt due to a busy schedule you’ll find that their mellow temperaments will fit perfectly into your household.
Old Pets Can Still Learn New Tricks
Though older pets have likely mastered basic training points, that doesn’t mean they can’t still learn new ones. Pets can be trained at any age! You might even find that your senior pet will be even more keen to learn than a younger pet would normally be. In fact, senior pets have a better grasp on attention and comprehension than their younger counterparts, making it easier to teach them skills such as obedience commands or how to use a pet door.
Senior Pets Need Homes Just as Much as Younger Pets
Every pet deserves a home, no matter their age, and senior pets are just as much in need of loving forever homes as new young pets. Many of them once had some kind of home, but for whatever case they were given up to a shelter and are now in desperate need of a home through no fault of their own. If you’re reluctant to adopt an older pet for fear of a painful loss sooner rather than later, remember that the quality of the time you spend together is much more important than the quantity of it, and the bond that you will form with your senior pet is one that you will cherish forever.
You Can Save a Life
When you adopt a senior pet you’re literally saving a life, which is the most rewarding part! Shelters are quick to get overcrowded, and older pets are often overlooked in favor of young puppies and kitties, unfortunately making them among the first to be euthanized when the shelter reaches their capacity. Adopting a senior pet will ensure that they spend their golden years in the loving, comfortable home they’ve been craving for so long.
So many shelters are filled with senior pets that are repeatedly overlooked and left to continue hoping. When you adopt one of these loving pets, you give them a second chance at life with a new home and family! Do you have any questions? Another way to care for your senior dog or cat is installing a pet door to give them safe outdoor access even when you aren't home.

Chelsea Christensen
I had no idea this was even an option! After 12 years of having dogs and a sliding door- I AM SO HAPPY!!!! They came, swapped out my glass with the new pane that had the door and were out. We've had it for a few months now and it has been the best purchase ever. Great quality, looks professional, and does the job! A must for any pet owner. Thank you! -
Ben Cooksey
Excellent service and communication. The door insert fit perfectly. -
Ian Silverberg
They were great! Professional, responsive, and installed a great tour. Couldn’t ask for more! -
Pamela Farmer
I absolutely love my replacement glass with large pet door pre-installed! It is so nice to not have to put in a whole new door. I am also able to preserve the full-glass look to my patio. They were so helpful walking me through the measuring and ordering process, and my husband was able to install the new glass fairly easily. Love, love, love! Happy dog and happy family! Update: We have now had our new pet door for almost 3 years! We did replace the flap last year (a visiting dog chewed on it), but it is doing great! Would still recommend 200%! -
Heidi Winn
My husband and I have 2 rowdy beagles, who are frequently in and out of the house. We had a sliding glass door insert but during the cold winter months found that keeping it in and keeping our heating costs down were not compatible. So I started doing some research and found Glass Pet Doors. Trevor was AWESOME to work with! They walked us through measuring our door and installation. We have LOVED our built-in dog door and our reduced cost for heating and cooling. Not to mention the dog door is excellent quality- I never have the rain or snow push through the door. I can’t recommend them enough. If I have a complaint it would only be that they couldn’t ship to us. Luckily we lived close enough to pick it up ourselves, but, with a nationwide online store, perhaps that is changing. Good luck! -
Brooke Jensen
One of the best purchases we have ever made! We love our pet door! -
Mark Evans

Glass Pet Doors was a great company to work with. Many different options available to fit your pets needs. We have had our dog door for over two years with no issues at all!! Thank you! -
Jeffrey Arnold
Glass Pet Doors was outstanding to work with! I even made a mistake in my measurements and they exchanged my insert, which was a full length glass insert with imbedded blinds. I just paid the shipping charge and nothing more. I have had the dog door installed for well over a year and it performs great! This company is terrific! I would highly recommend them! -
Brent Christiansen
Great guys excellent service! -
Paul Shumway
Awesome customer service. When I sold my house, they came and took the window out of my slider and put the glass back because I saved it. Then they came and installed it in my new house. Of course I paid for the services but they were quick and efficient in doing so. The doors are great quality and I would highly recommend them! -
Scott Johnson
Very helpful. The product is great. We have been using the door for almost two years and it has held up perfectly. We also appreciate the help that we received for trying to figure out a solution for our older small dog that struggled with the weight of the door. -

Champion Tassainer
They installed the door over three years ago. I have a large active Doberman that runs in and out of that door at least 50 times a day sometimes at full speed. It still works the same and haven't had any malfunctions at all. One of the best decisions I made for him. It's durable and high quality which is exactly what I paid for. The installers were fast and super friendly. -

Nelson Eisman
I wanted a glass panel with pet access for the patio door that leads out to our backyard. I ordered a door without a glass in the slider and asked the company for the exact measurements of the glass they would have used. Then I sent the measurements to Utah Pet Access. They made the glass and shipped it to the patio door company who installed it. It is perfect. Our dogs let themselves in and out. Even our 15 year old Scottie took to it right away.
