A properly installed pet door provides freedom to both the pet owner and the pet. No longer does the pet owner have to worry about accidents in the home. The pet has the ability to go outside when needed even if the pet owner is not at home. The installation of a pet door in a brick wall requires the use of specialized masonry tools such as a reciprocating saw and hammer drill. Both pieces of equipment may be rented if necessary. Cut the opening on the interior wall and remove insulation prior to cutting through the brick.
