Yes — pet-resistant mesh built for paws, noses, and claws, on the same motorized V-Track system.
Is there a screen option that stands up to dogs and cats?
Yes. V-Track offers a pet-resistant mesh — a heavier, tougher weave engineered to shrug off the paws, noses, and claws that shred standard insect screening. If a dog greets every delivery truck through the porch screen, this is the fabric that survives it.
Two other habits help pet households: retract the screens when the patio is not in use, since a screen rolled in its housing is immune to everything, and take advantage of the motorized retraction speed — under 60 seconds — so opening the porch for a dog to pass through is a button press rather than a door-and-screen negotiation. Mention pets at your consultation and we will spec the mesh accordingly.
