dog doors

Canine entry flaps

A dog door is a small hinged flap cut into a door or wall, allowing a pet to enter and exit freely without human assistance.

The flap swings both ways and typically uses the animal's weight to push through: We installed a dog door so she could let herself out.

Also called a pet door or doggy door, though cats use them just as often.
