GOOD HOMES.
HONEST CONVERSATIONS.

Who is behind it

Hale Pet Door owns this publication. Hale manufactures pet doors and has a commercial interest in that category. Product links may lead to Hale. We disclose that connection so you can weigh manufacturer guidance in context; this publication is not an independent product-testing organization.

Housemates is the editorial name of this publication. The reference focuses on the home and the project: access routes, measurement records, room use, material-specific questions and ongoing care.

How the guides are made

The launch guides were prepared with AI assistance and checked against the primary sources listed on each page. We do not claim architect, engineer, veterinarian or installer review. We distinguish our editorial planning suggestions from a manufacturer’s instructions and from U.S. government guidance.

We link factual product statements to the current source and record the date checked. A source date does not mean a product was tested or a household was assessed. We do not publish invented installations, customer stories, certifications, performance measurements or installer endorsements.

What the worksheets can tell you

The measurement sheet summarizes the raw dimensions you enter. It does not add manufacturer clearances, select a product, certify animal comfort or generate cutting dimensions. The project list organizes questions; checking every box does not establish permission or suitability.

Updates and corrections

Planned additions appear in the four-week editorial calendar. Future work is labeled planned until it is published and checked. Material changes should update the source record and the affected page’s revision date.

For a factual correction, use Hale’s existing contact page and include this publication’s page address, the statement and a primary source where available. That link takes you to Hale’s website; no message is sent by this page.

Privacy and local worksheets

This version has no accounts, newsletter signup, analytics tags, advertising scripts or data-submission forms. Worksheet entries are kept in the current page’s memory and disappear on reload. Printing and downloading create copies under your device’s control. We do not use browser storage for the worksheets.

The hosting provider may process ordinary request information to deliver and secure the site. Following an external link takes you to that provider’s own website and privacy practices. Vercel’s privacy notice describes its practices.

Images

Our home and pet illustrations were created with image generation for the Housemates identity. They are creative artwork, not real customer homes, tested layouts or installed products.
