Pet door draft

I have a pet door installed in my mobile home door (metal, no screen). The air comes in around the plastic door. Is there any way to block that so that the "boys" can still get in and out?

I put up a curtain on my back door that is just a bit longer than my door. I have 2 dogs and a cat and they've had no problems using the doggie door. It has most certainly kept my kitchen much warmer! Hope this works for you!

I agree a full or partial curtain that is big enough to cover cover the opening, but not so big it gets caught. Try by taping a piece first before going 'all the way;' (You can also try one in and one out)

Lindsey could you use a tube of silicone caulk to seal up the draft around the edge of where the actual door meets the doggie door? I like the idea of using a curtain over it too.

I took a piece of canvas type of material and hung it on the inside, it seemed to pull so I cut down the middle and it definitely helped a great deal.

Maybe some velcro tape, I believe they come in different grip strengths. If your dogs are big they might be able to push through without your assistance. Hope this helps! Blessings to you and yours.

Got an idea from Mary to use Velcro, plus others telling me to hang a small curtain over it. I think that will work. Thanks!
