Alida - Make a trip to a building supply store & talk to someone there - it will help you a lot! There is a 'barrier' that is made for protecting screen doors - it is more solid than the hardware cloth - at least in the middle - and it might take the abuse of being jumped on / against even better than the hardware cloth. I would think this 'panel' or 'barrier' would be one good option as well as the hardware cloth. I most definitely would think it would protect your fine screen that keeps the mosquitoes & such out while standing up to little toenails & such - Yes - a toenail might 'hang' in hardware cloth - it might - but - I would think your dog would handle it just fine without that problem -- Again - I'd recommend a trip to Home Depot or Lowes or some other building supply place near you -- None of the above mentioned things would be very expensive - but could save your screen door!
