‘Employ a concierge’: Posh mum is mocked by cheeky critics after asking advice for a ‘high-end’ dog flap for her new luxury home in a Facebook group

  •  A mum has been ruthlessly mocked online after asking for advice on dog doors
  •  The mum wanted a ‘high-end’ doggy door suggestion for her new build
  •  She explained her whole back wall is glass so the door couldn’t go through walls

A posh mum has been ruthlessly mocked after asking for advice on ‘high-end’ doggy-door suggestions for her new luxury home build. 

The mum was told to ‘hire a concierge’ for her two dogs after taking to a building and renovating group on Facebook with her question – but she took the cheeky comments in good spirits.

‘We are building a high end home, but have two dogs and need a dog flap,’ she wrote.

‘The dog flap can only go on the sliding glass doors that lead to outside. Can anybody recommend any ‘high end or architectural’ looking dog flaps?’

But the post attracted some tongue-in-cheek comments.

‘Pay the builder to add a high end or architectural underground doggy door tunnel,’ one mum wrote.

‘High end? You will need to get a concierge,’ answered another. 

Another asked what ‘high-end’ means to which others laughed, ‘expensive’.

What are the different types of dog doors? 

Standard 

By standard pet doors, we mean the most common type. Those are the ones that you most commonly see – a simple opening with a flap installed into a door, a window, or the wall. 

Smart 

Smart pet doors are a relatively new product on the pet market. They look just like any pet door, but they can stay locked, and then automatically unlock once your pet approaches the door. This adds an extra layer of security and keeps any unwanted animals out. 

Sliding Door 

Drilling a hole in your door or wall might not be an option for everyone. Well, if you don’t want to do that but have a sliding glass door, there is a solution for you: a glass door insert with a pet door. These inserts simply go inside the frame of your existing glass door.

‘I really want to be your dog,’ one woman added.

The woman said she is building her home to the boundary on both sides which makes putting in a doggy door more difficult.

‘The whole back of the house is glass,’ she explained when people told her to put it through a wall instead.

Others suggested a ‘bark-activated door’ but the woman said her ‘big bulldog doesn’t bark’.

Others asked her to clarify what she meant by 'high-end'

Some people in the group did have helpful suggestions however.

‘We use auto slide which opens the door automatically, we have had ours for years and it’s great, I believe they have improved both the look and function to make it more modern now.’ 

She explained her pets have collars with tags on them which trips the sensors. 

Others shared photos of kitchen cabinets with hidden tunnels for pets. 

‘There are no high-end doors on the market they are all custom, talk to your glazier,’ one woman said. 

The woman has been posting asking for help with her new build since last year. Getting advice on everything from furnishings to dinnerware. 

She said she would be happy to pay as much as $3.000 for the right door.
