FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a portable pet door. More particularly, the present invention provides a portable pet door that is foldable for storage or transport, and that is extendable for installation within a doorway for use by a pet.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Many people find enjoyment in owning and taking care of pets. Some of these pets need to go in and out of the house frequently. Dogs in particular like to pretend they have to go out just to receive treats when returning to the house. Often pet owners are forced to constantly get up or interrupt what they are doing to open a door to let an eager pet outside. Although, installing a traditional pet door could reduce unnecessary interruptions for pet owners, it could also require cutting a hole in an existing door or replacing the entire door. This can be expensive and messy. Further, if not properly installed or insulated, a traditional pet door can leak or allow cold air into a home. Many existing pet doors have a frame that goes around the entirety of the pet door. This can cause issues for pets with bad legs or hips as they may not be able to raise their legs over the edges of the frame.

Consequently, there is a need for an improvement in the art of pet doors. The present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the known art, and solves a problem faced by pet owners daily by allowing their pets to go outside at will without changing an existing door structure. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills unmet needs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a portable pet door wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user to allow their pets to enter and exit a house according to the will of the pets. The present system comprises a portable pet door, wherein the door is removably securable to an existing door structure. The portable pet door includes a plurality of panels hingedly connected together, such there is at least one upper panel and at least one lower panel. A connector is placed on a top portion of the upper panel, wherein the connector is configured to removably secure the portable pet door to a door jamb or other attachment surface.

An object of the present invention is to provide a portable pet door that can be moved between a folded configuration for storage or transport and an expanded configuration for use within an existing door structure.

Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
