Dogs scratching your sills and doors ?

pet proof window sill guard 2

Dogs scratching sills and doors, your furniture and floors can get expensive. Its good to take some protective steps to keep your wooden surfaces looking good no matter how excited your pets might get when birds or squirrels land in front of the window.

One easy method is to have plastic guards cut to fit window sills and doors. This can be done with plastic panels bought from from the hardware store.

There are also commercially available sill guards made from polycarbonate plastic. (The same material they make hockey face shields from) The hard plastic resists scratching and protects the surfaces behind it from the strongest claws.

Sill guards also have one side bent at a 90 degree angle so they wrap around the edge of the window sill, protecting the whole surface.

The sill guards are secured with velcro pads which allow the gaurds to be removed for cleaning but hold the guards on tight enough so the pet scratching wont knock them off.

The are also guards made to fit over doors including screen doors. The screen door may need to protected from both sides so in those cases 2 guards may be needed.

The same material is available in different sizes for door guards.
