Professional pet and baby gate installation - gates with built-in pet doors so your cat or small dog can move freely while keeping your baby safely contained. Best of both worlds.
### Pets Need Access, Babies Need Containment
New baby plus existing pets creates a **logistics problem**. Baby can't be near unsupervised pets. Pets need access to food, water, litter. A pet gate with built-in flap **solves both problems**.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Put the cat's food and litter on the baby-free side of the gate. Cat gets peace while eating, baby stays away from litter.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pet and baby gate installation in Crediton
How does a pet and baby gate work?
It's a baby gate with a small pet door built in - usually a cat flap or small dog opening. The baby can't fit through, but the pet can pass freely.
Will my cat actually use the flap?
Most cats learn quickly, especially if their food or litter is on the other side. Some need encouraging at first - leave it propped open initially.
What about bigger dogs?
Larger dogs need a bigger opening, which could let a toddler through. In that case, you need a full-height gate that adults step over or unlatch, with no pet door.
Can you fit these at the top of stairs?
Yes, but the pet door adds a consideration - some toddlers might try to squeeze through. We can advise on whether it's appropriate for your situation.
