Yes, we have one. We bought it at home depot for around a $100. Its a piece of glass that connects to the other side of where your door opens at. You install it and it has the latch for your door to lock into it. It already has the doggie door in it. The have 3 different sizes small, medium and large.

If it is a solid glass door then yes.you can cut the hole .if it is an insulated glass door(with two pieces of glass)It’s not recommended to cut into themIt would fog up and sweat between the glasses…. hope this was helpful

with glass it would be tricky...commonly the cheapest way are the one installed on the screen portion or one build next to the patio door thru the walls which are custom and a lot more expensive.

It might be possible if you can cut through the glass without breaking it and then use a really good glue instead of screws to install it.

Absolutely, They make custom panels that can fit into your existing patio door. Some of them have electric or automatic dog doors built right into them. They dont take too much effort to install. http://sclewis.blogspot.com

we have one installed in our sliding screen door, it works fine. I've never seen one in a glass sliding door though.
