Why We Vouch for the Hakuna Pets Dog Door in 45°C UAE Summers
When fitting a dog door into a UAE villa patio door, flap durability and magnetic latching strength determine whether your living room stays cool. We supply and install the Hakuna Pets dog door range across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and all seven emirates because its UV-stabilised flexible vinyl flap and full-perimeter magnetic seal hold up year after year in intense Gulf sun.
Heavy-Duty Magnetic Dog Flap Sealing Against Heat & Dust
Unlike thin plastic flaps that warp in summer heat, a Hakuna dog door uses heavy-duty magnets along the bottom and sides of the flap, plus a thick nylon brush seal, snapping shut immediately after your dog passes through. Every unit also includes a rigid slide-in security locking panel for night-time closure.
Exact UAE Sizing: Medium (23×35 cm), Large (28×45 cm) & XL (36×65 cm)
We match the flap to your dog’s shoulder height and chest width: Medium (23×35 cm) for French Bulldogs, Beagles, and Corgis; Large (28×45 cm) for Border Collies, Bulldogs, and Whippets; and Extra-Large (36×65 cm) for Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Huskies. All three sizes can be fitted into a removable sliding glass door pet insert, a factory-tempered double-glazed replacement panel, an interior wooden door, or a villa wall.
Fitting Hakuna Dog Doors in Sliding Glass Inserts & Double Glazing
Every Hakuna fitting follows one of the routes above. A sliding insert is fabricated on site in about 45 minutes and lifts out again at move-out. A glass route runs in two stages: a measuring visit first, then — once your factory-tempered panel is ready — the swap takes 15 to 30 minutes, including storing your original glass safely inside your home. Wooden door and villa wall fittings cut the material itself, so those two routes are permanent rather than reversible. Not sure which route suits your door?

Frequently Asked Questions About Hakuna Pets Doors
Can a Hakuna Pets dog door be installed without cutting my landlord’s glass?
Yes—we either fit it into a track-mounted sliding insert or fabricate a replacement tempered glass panel while storing your original glass safely for a 30-minute swap-back at move-out.

Which Doors Take a Hakuna Dog Door
A Hakuna dog door goes into four kinds of opening, and the right route depends on which one you have. A sliding patio door takes a made-to-measure insert in the track, the fastest route, while a fixed or double-glazed panel is replaced with a factory-tempered unit with the flap formed before tempering. An interior wooden door and a villa block wall take a cut opening, which is permanent, so those routes suit owners rather than renters. The insert and panel routes leave the landlord’s glass untouched: the insert lifts out at move-out and the original glass is stored safely inside the home until it is swapped back. Whatever the opening, the flap itself is the same UV-stabilised flexible vinyl with a full-perimeter magnetic seal, built to hold up year after year in intense Gulf sun.
Measuring for the Right Size
We size a Hakuna door by shoulder height and chest width, not by guesswork, and the breed guide on this page is the starting point. Medium at 23 x 35 cm suits French Bulldogs, Beagles and Corgis, Large at 28 x 45 cm suits Border Collies, Bulldogs and Whippets, and X-Large at 36 x 65 cm suits Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Huskies. Send us WhatsApp photos of the door and your dog’s breed, and we confirm the size before the visit, so the right door arrives with the fitter. The test is simple: your dog should step through without ducking its head or squeezing its shoulders, and the flap should snap shut behind them at once, held by the heavy-duty magnets along the bottom and sides. A door that is too small is a daily frustration; a door that fits is one your dog uses without thinking.
Fitting Day, Move-Out and Night-Time Security
The booking starts with WhatsApp photos of the door and your dog’s breed, or an email for a photo quote, and we confirm the route, the size and your emirate’s next visit before anyone travels. A sliding insert is fabricated on site in about 45 minutes, while a glazed panel is a two-stage job: a measuring visit first, then a swap of 15 to 30 minutes, with the original glass stored safely inside your home. At move-out the insert lifts away and the original glass goes back, so a rented villa is left exactly as it was. At night the rigid slide-in security locking panel closes the door fully, and by day the UV-stabilised flap and full-perimeter magnetic seal keep the heat and dust out while your dog comes and goes. The thick nylon brush seal finishes the job, keeping the flap quiet and the air conditioning indoors.
