    Change the glass for a plastic panel, you can cut it with a jigsaw.
    Fit dogflap to that.
    Needs to be the same thickness as your existing glass unit.

    A big one would be a security risk though.

    Profile developments in Glin in Limerick make these panels, not sure who else does.

    .

    to the point where your insurance may be invalidated along the following lines

    From another thread, (courtesy 2011):
    As you are aware of this your insurance company would most likely have grounds to make life difficult in the event of a claim. Being aware of risk that is above and beyond what would normally be expected and not making the insurance company aware of this specific risk or not dealing with it would be in breach of the small print in your insurance policy.

    Would that issue not be negligible if there was a lock on the flap for when I'm not there......when the dog is here I doubt there would be any issues would potential intruders due to the dog breed....

    It is definitely possible to get a double glazed unit made up with a hole cut for a dog or cat flap. I've done a good few over the years. I'll post a picture of one I did in my parents house.

    It won't be cheap though. A good quality cat / dog flap would be around 100 quid. A double glazed unit with hole in it would be the bones of 300 I would say. The cheapest way would be a pvc panel like colm suggested. Pm me if you want anymore info
