Reasons to adopt a senior pet in Longwood
November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and our team of pet door installation experts in Longwood 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.

What Our Customers Say

Kirstin Anne Workman
I highly recommend Utah Pet Access. We received a dog door installation earlier this year and I cannot express how pleased I am with the product. Our rescue pup can now easily enter and exit our home without me needing to assist him. We also got the lockable door, which has also been very useful. The service was great and quick, and they have a great warranty on their product to ensure that if they are damaged or malfunction, they will fix/replace it. So far, we have not needed any fixes or repairs in it. Very happy with our purchase, and I would recommend them to anyone on the fence about it. -
Heather Singleton
My experience with Utah Pet Access was great! They responded to my questions in a timely manner, told me exactly what to measure, sent me invoice once they got the measurements, and then made it and sent it out. It came faster than they said and it was a perfect fit. The price was reasonable for being custom made. I would highly recommend Utah Pet access to anyone! -
Maureen Quinlan
Great team, prompt and friendly. The door looks perfect. Our little Wiggles loves her pet door. -
Demi Rainaldi
We have used Utah Pet Access at both of our houses. I love that they bring a new door with the doggie door cut into the glass and we get to keep our original glass. At our first house, we had to have a custom glass insert made because of the plastic pieces that were in the glass door. It was a perfect match to the rest of the door. This was great when we sold our house to give the new owners the option of putting in the old door. They are quick, easy to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend them! -

Big Changes
Great experience with Utah Pet Access. The owner and the employees are so patient and helpful. I originally thought we wanted a doggie door in the wall. There was only one spot that it would work since we have a lot of windows. The company installer came the day we scheduled the install and while at our house my husband and I changed our minds and wanted the glass door doggie access instead . The installer who is one of the owners was so patient and friendly. So instead of installing the wall doggie door he measured for the glass doggie door. We couldn’t be happier with how the whole experience went! We love the doggie door and so do our pups. -

After we had a new sliding door installed we looked at several options for a dog door. We settled on Utah Pet Access. They installed a dog door in both the glass door and screen. The entire process from initial bid to installation was excellent as us their finished product. Though there are other similar products are available online I like the idea Utah Pet Access comes out and takes the required measurements and they are local. If you’re needing a dog door I would highly recommend Utah Pet Access over a panel that installs between the door and frame. -
Angela Abel
Great service and product. The install was quick and great quality. I have had the door for several months now and it works fantastic. One dog struggled with my old bottom flap door but is much better with the middle swing opening. Thanks! -
Ana Esquibel
We ALL are really enjoying the dog door from Utah Pet Access! Including our two giant furbabies! It has made life much easier for us! Thanks Utah Pet for making things easier! -
Isaac Pugh
Utah Pet Access was awesome to work with, I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a pet door added. The measuring process was super quick, the pros were very communicative on how long it would take to get our large glass section made, and when they could get it installed. Once it was ready the install pro came out and had everything finished within 30ish minutes! They even replaced the adhesive on my security sensor and reinstalled that on the door for me. Will definitely be using them again in the future! -
Rozie Riley
I am so pleased with my dog door. Trevor was amazing to work with. I am no longer a personal door greeter 24/7. Hallelujah! -
Tatia Beaslin
So glad we decided to have Utah Pet Access install a pet door in our glass patio door. It looks so classy and is so nice to not have to let Zoe in and out all day! The process was super easy and I was only without my patio door for about 20 minutes! I was shocked they could install it so quickly!!!! If you’re on the fence about a dog door — do it with Utah Pet Access! -

Jane Rogers
I live in a condo on the 4th floor. I looked very hard to find a dog door for my 40 pound Bernedoodle to go out on my deck. I got some very expensive bids from glass companies, and then found Utah Pet Access! They are total PROS, and focused on this business. They were half the price and it is PERFECT and TOTAL QUALITY! Their people go the extra mile, too! My neighbors across the hall then purchased one for their little Cavalier. Great, great company!! -
Cindy Tenney
Amazing experience. Our installer was professional and efficient. We have been extremely pleased with our door. -
Ingrid Wilson
The pet door we got works wonderfully! This company was great to work with. They installed a temporary door for us while the permanent one was being made, and it really helped us out! -
Jenny Norton
We had moved to new house about 7 years ago and were unable to figure out a place to install a dog door. We found Utah Pet Access at a local show. They was able to replace and extend the glass area of our French door which included a very sturdy, great quality dog door. We have been very pleased with the final product and have recommended them to several friends -
Kevin Smart
We have used Utah Pet Access for dog doors twice. We were originally pointed to them by our sister. They did a great job with both installations. The first one was in glass and the second one was in a solid portion of the door. Both installations were excellent. I was originally concerned with putting a dog door in glass, but now, I see that if you limit the cut to the glass it is less expensive to restore to the original state (when you sell). Our new house has a solid door, so we would have to buy a new door if that time comes. UPA was fast and efficient. The door seal is good without any obvious leaks. They cleaned up well after the job. If I need another door, I would likely use them again. -

These doors are a game changer! My wife and I reminisce how it used to be such a pain to coordinate schedules or wake up in the night to let our dogs out in the back yard.. those days are over thanks to Utah Pet Access! Their team is super knowledgeable, and their install guys are friendly and very good at what they do. They are a costly investment, but I wouldn’t trade our doors for triple what we paid for the convenience they created for us and our dogs. The integrated blinds work very well and the sight windows on each side of out door flap allow them to still see out when we have the door block on when we don’t want them out. -

Super fast! Great service! -

We’ve had a pet access door for over 2 years now. Zero problems! Door works great for our small, 10 lb dog, no issues with air/draft coming in door. It’s a tight seal.
