That's terrible. There are some cases where a doggy door and them being outside is safe. We have a brand new not even year old fence with nothing but grass in the fenced in area no plants no tress nothing. We don't have coyotes and Callie is much to big to be picked up by a bird of pray. The fenced in yard is also in the middle of three acres with no trees around. There are 8 windows and two doors (one door is all glass French doors) that look out to the fenced in area where she is not at for very long periods of time unless she is laying out in the sun. The fence is checked at least once a week for problems sometimes more. The fence can not be seen from the street and even though we are not in an area where there are things stolen there is a lock on the gate. Every situation has to be judge separately. I have only seen deer and bunnys in here so far. Callie is 16 pounds. All our neighbors have dogs.
