Can the same stair gate be used as a safety device for either children or pets?

I am currently researching stair gates for both myself and a friend-- one of us needs a gate for pets and the other for children... wondering if the same type is safe for either use.Can the same stair gate be used as a safety device for either children or pets?Yes they can be used for both pets and childen.Can the same stair gate be used as a safety device for either children or pets?Yes, they can definitely be used for both with a few considerations. First, consider the size and weight of your pet (assuming it is a dog). If you have a larger dog or one that can simply leap very well like mine, you will want to make sure that the height is an appropriate deterrent for the dog as well as your child. You also want to keep in mind the type of closure the gate has and the mounting system. A large dog might be able to move a weak latch or even pull a gate down with his weight. There are many gates that have the correct structure, height and materials for both your kids and your pets.Can the same stair gate be used as a safety device for either children or pets?It should work fine either way. Just remember that if it is wood dogs will chew on it possibly. Also, depending on the size of the dog, the dog gate may need to sit lower. I actually use a child gate that is harder to open than a normal dog gate, because my dog is an escape artist and my children are willing to help him escape if they can. Many of the gates actually state that they can be used for pets or children. Just look around and see if you can find the right one. To answer your question, Yes they should work fine either way. I hope this helps you.Can the same stair gate be used as a safety device for either children or pets?
