8 years later, still a great door

On: 2008-07-30

We bought one of these doors 8 years ago. It still works great, even though weve re-installed it in 2 more doors (we moved). If you have a smaller dog & larger dog (like a collie & a beagle) this is the perfect size. You can set it low enough for the beagle to step through without having the collie need to duck or scrunch down. Our cat has even figured it out (he bounces the door a few times to really get it swinging, then leaps through). Weve replaced the weather stripping twice & the door shows no signs of wear. We love it, its way better than the flexible flap type doors we had in the past.

Excellent Door

Finally, a dog door that keeps in the heat and keeps out the cold. I love it. It is a remarkable improvement over the near-worthless PetSafe door I had previously, which warped, tore, fell apart and was like having an open window all year round. This new door is really expensive compared to other brands, but it is worth every penny. I hired a professional contractor to install it and it took him less than two hours (he removed the back door to install the dog door into it, and then replaced the back door on its hinges.) I wish I had bought this door four years ago back when my German Shepherd was a little fuzzball.

Nice but my dogs hate it.

Its a really nice doggy door but both my boys hate it. I have an english mastiff and a chihuahua. They have had a doggy door all their lives but for some reason this one is a little hard for them. First, the door has slots on the bottom and the top for the locks that are nice but not good for dogs that can get their nails stuck in there. I placed tape over the slot at the bottom but my big dog pulled it off. My big boy tries to open the doors opposite ways when coming in or out. Then he cant get in and becomes extremely frustrated. My small guy keeps getting his paws stuck in between the 2 doors and then freaks out. He has also gotten his nail into the lock slot. My husband and I have spent a lot of time and food trying to get them to use it but they and us are become more and more annoyed and frustrated.
Its a great door otherwise, if you can get your dog to use it and can find something to permenately fill in the locking slot. We are sending ours back, it comes with a 90 day return policy. They really should redesign the door with the locks on the sides. I hate giving it a 2 but 3 seems too good with our situation. 2.5 is a better representation for me.

A Doggie Delight

This pet door is the best on the market. It is incredibly durable, looks great, is very energy efficient, and is a must have for all dog owners.
