Professional pet gate fitting - keep babies and pets safely separated with properly fitted gates. Similar to baby gates but designed for households with animals.
### Babies And Pets Need Managing
Dogs and babies can coexist beautifully. But not always unsupervised. **A pet gate creates zones** - baby can crawl safely, dog can eat undisturbed, cat can escape when needed.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Consider gates with cat flaps if your cat needs access but dogs/babies don't. Saves leaving gaps the wrong size.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pet gate fitting in Ottery St Mary
What's the difference between pet gates and baby gates?
Similar design but pet gates often have cat flaps or are taller for jumping dogs. Some are pressure-fit, others wall-mounted. We'll advise on what suits your household.
Can dogs get through baby gates?
Depends on the dog. Small dogs can squeeze through bar gaps. Large dogs can knock over pressure-fit gates. We match the gate to your specific pet.
Where should pet gates go?
Usually kitchen or nursery access - keeping pets away from baby or baby away from pet's space. Sometimes stairs to give baby safe crawling areas.
Can cats still get through?
Many pet gates have cat flaps. Or we can position to leave cat access gap. Depends whether cat needs separating too.
