Garage Door Insulation R-Value Meaning

I am replacing garage door and I am confused about r-ratings for insulation those garage doors come with. Have seen from r-6.58 to r-18. Have seen several with the r-6.58 rating and am wondering if the ones with the higher rating is overkill.

I live in Ohio and there is living space above and next to the one car garage, so I’m concerned with having it insulated as well as possible, because I don’t want to pay a lot for energy and heating. I don’t want to heat the winter.

How to Repair Garage Door Insulation?

My *sweet* little dogs have developed this liking for chewing on the insulation of our garage door.
I’ve heard there’s a garage door insulation kit so you could just pop out a panel and put in a new one.
Problem is, I can’t find one anywhere. I’ve been to Lowes, Home Depot and even started searching on the internet.
I heard this might be a seasonal product – anyone know where I can get it, or at least when it will be available at Lowe’s if I can’t order it online somewhere right now?

If I can’t find it, I might want to have the dogs pretend they are garage door insulation.

Thanks everyone!
