Product Information

Dog and puppy gates are easy to set up and are available as both pressure fit gates and screw fitted gates , depending on your requirements. They are easy to set up and provide a strong, sturdy barrier in all areas of your home. Safetots pet gates are available in a range of colours and materials, including wooden stair gates , from several reputable brands including Bettacare and Safetots’ own range of pet and dog gates. Here at zooplus we offer a great range of dog gates, with some made from mesh and others from sturdier, more solid material that is particularly suited to outdoor use, some even with a weatherproof coating. They also come in a great range of sizes to fit all areas - some even include a cat door, which is ideal if you have felines as well and want to allow them access into canine-free areas! A puppy gate can be a great way of training a new pup and can also be used for older dogs if there are parts of the house they are simply not allowed to enter. They can also be useful if you have children who may be a little nervous of dogs or could potentially be injured by a large animal. Pet gates are designed to keep pets and children safe in the home and away from potentially dangerous and harmful areas. Once installed, dog gates, pet gates, and puppy gates create an instant divide between two areas of the home. Pet gates enable you to contain a pet in a designated area, preventing them from entering other parts of the home you wish to keep free from pets, such as upstairs. They enable you to create zones where you are happy for your pet to enter and where you are not.

Having selected the right safety gate for your needs, there are some general safety aspects to consider. Fit your gate in a strong and secure opening and ensure the surfaces are dry, solid and clean. Safetots recommends the use of appropriate types of fixings depending on the surface available: wooden screws for wooden surface, multi-use plug and concrete screw for concrete surface, plasterboard wall plug and screw for plasterboard surface, metal screw for metal surface Pet gates and dog gates are versatile, and you can add a dog gate extension to a standard gate to create a much wider room divide. Dog gate extensions enable you to create a suitable room divide for doorways large and small.

Pressure fit pet gates also feature a trip bar which is perfectly acceptable if installed at the bottom of stairs but could become an additional hazard if fitted at the top. The British and European Standard for safety barriers is BS EN 1930:2011. You can be reassured that all Safetots’ safety gates designed for use with babies and toddlers up to age 2 comply with this standard and are retested whenever design upgrades are made, or components changed. Pet gates and extra tall pet gates are a popular choice for homes with pets. The installation of a pet gate enables families to keep their dog in a contained area and prevents them from entering areas of the house where children may play. Brands such as BabyDan also include the added feature of a safety indicator across all their pressure fit dog gates. This indicator shows if the dog gate has been mounted correctly and provides an extra safety measure and reassurance that the pressure fit dog gate has been installed successfully. Some pressure fit pet gates come with wall cups which cover the four main pressure points, making it easier to apply additional pressure. When buying a product to help keep your child out of harm’s way, Safetots believe it is worth investing in one that has been tested to a professionally approved level of safety using rigorous testing methods.

Consider the following options when choosing the best dog gate, pet gate, or puppy gate for your home. Dog gates, pet gates, and puppy gates can be pressure fitted or screw fitted, metal or wood, and feature an auto-close mechanism or a self-close mechanism. Dog gates can be installed in any doorway in the home and pressure fitted gates and screw fitted gates are both suitable, safe options for doors. For this reason and where applicable, our products are tested to a British Standards Institution (BSI) standard and/or equivalent international standard. Each standard that our products complies with has been drawn up by a group of experts in the field. Not only do they have extensive knowledge about their product and credibility in the child safety product industry, they are also fully aware of the potential hazards posed by poor quality items being used in the home where children are involved. Dog gates are useful when training a puppy as they help to teach young pups boundaries and dominance. They also prevent teething puppies from getting near any furniture or anything else you do not want to be chewed! Dog Gates Ensure your dog is always exactly where it should be with this great range of dog gates from zooplus! Pet gates enable you to keep your pet safe and secure. A dog gate fitted to the kitchen entrance, for example, enables you to cook safely in the kitchen without potentially tripping over your pet while you go about preparing family meals.Once your baby starts to become mobile, ensuring they can only crawl and toddle within safe areas of your home becomes a priority. Your inquisitive little ones will appear to have an inbuilt sat nav directing them to all the high-risk places such as kitchens and stairwells or maybe through the cat flap to explore the great outdoors! Even the most alert and hands on parent/carer will at times need to attend to more than one thing at once, and times of distraction are often when accidents happen in the home.

Dog and pet gates will allow you to set boundaries wherever necessary, whether it is to keep pets out of places in the home, such as upstairs, or to keep children and animals separate. Multi-pet gates: in a multi-pet household, there will always be territory battles! Make these a thing of the past with a great dog barrier or dog gate - we offer large barriers that have built-in smaller doors that are perfect for letting small dogs, puppies or cats through without your larger canine companies joining the crowd! In addition, if the safety barrier requires wall cups (pressure fitted gates): WARNING – Never use without wall cups. Pet gates range from 75cm to 105cm in height , which is a little taller than a standard baby gate . An extra tall pet gate is 105cm and is considered the safest dog gate option for families looking to create a safe room divide between large pets and young children. A screw fitted extra tall gate is advised for families with large, strong dogs. Screw fitted gates are strong and durable and can safely sustain the strength of larger animals.A safety gate provides the ideal solution by creating a protective barrier between child and potential hazards, whilst still giving the space to learn through exploration of the remaining child friendly environment. They allow the adult to continue to pay attention to their child when they also need to carry out a task at the same time as supervising, by reducing the risk of harm or accident. For example, a parent can be cooking in the kitchen and singing nursery rhymes, whilst their child is joining in on the other side of the safety barrier out of reach of hot stoves, sharp knives and the odd dropped chilli pepper. As with standard pressure fit stair gates , a pressure fit dog gate is not installed using tools or drilling and screwing techniques but by applying pressure to the four main pressure points. To fit a pressure fit pet gate, simply place the stair gate in the space you wish to fill then tighten the bottom two spindles followed by the top two spindles. The gap between the wall and stair gate will then gradually close. It is worth planning the positioning of your baby safety gate well in advance of needing it. In this way, you can carry out thorough research on the type of gate that best suits the chosen location, match it to your décor even, and install it before your baby crawls. This gives family and visitors time to practice using it because it is notable that many accidents involving safety barriers are due to the user not ensuring the gate is properly closed. This is also the ideal opportunity to include any older siblings in the care of their little brother or sister by educating them on how to operate the gate safely and the importance of keeping the gate shut. Some gates have a colour indicator which shows green or red, depending on whether the gate has been shut properly – a simple feature which assists children as well as adults to operate the gate safely. We offer stylish wooden dog gates , as well as mesh and metal versions. Should your dog like to chew, a metal dog gate will provide the extra strength and resistance that a wooden dog gate may not. Outdoor dog gates: these are a great way to provide a solid barrier between gardens and patios, treated with special weather-proof coating and ideal for use outdoors. They can also be used indoors, easy to assemble and screwed tightly into place so that your dog will only get through if you want it to!
