PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sliding door causing no injury to a pet animal even when the pet animal is passing through an opening during opening movement of the sliding door. SOLUTION: An opening 3 in a sliding door 1 allowing a pet animal to pass through is formed at an end 1a on the closing side of the sliding door in the width direction and at a position leaving a residual part extending to the bottom edge of the sliding door in the height direction. As a result, with the sliding door closed a pet animal can pass through the opening, and when the pet animal is passing through the opening during opening movement of the sliding door, the pet animal can slip out of the opening from the opening side opposite to the direction of the opening movement of the sliding door, without getting injured from being dragged by the sliding door or pinched between the door and a jamb. In the residual part under the opening, a traveling device of the sliding door such as a door roller can be smoothly installed at the bottom edge of the sliding door and strength can be secured as well.
