Based upon the smell around our yard some mornings we have skunks visiting during the night; I’m happy we don’t have a dog door so the border collies can come and go as they like.
We have skunks, possum, fox and squirrels as well and it's never been a issue but I do have a fenced back yard. I like that I don't have to let them in/out and if they get warm they can go outside, they like cold weather. The Collies know when they need to go potty and not have to depend when it's convenient for me.
While I could see a issue for those who live in the country. Extreme weather could be a issue as well. While it works for me it might not work well for others.
