Dog flap to give your dog the ultimate freedom
I love the product works so good no chance of the pet getting its leg caught in the door as can be with some flaps also we had a massive storm the rain was lashing and not one drop got in I was amazed.

My dog loves her new doo
My dog flap turns up slightly damaged. I contacted the retailer (not Amazon) and their customer service was as good if not better than I ever received. New parts on way and yes I would very much recommend this door !!

A good purchase
As others have mentioned it sometimes opens with high wind, just a little nudge seems to close it again so not a massive deal for me. Dog took to it pretty much straightaway, so much easier than getting up and down constantly to open the door for her!!! Overall a good buy

Good quality and quick delivery
Quick delivery and has proven to be well made as we actually bought it for our pet sheep to let herself in and out the house…. and have to say works like a dream. Very pleased with it.

Best decisio
After buying the plastic dog flap every year… I finally decided on this… Never looked back.. 3 dogs in and out 1 is a pug who’s a tank… A fast tank… This is brilliant…

Nice cat flap
My cats have broken through countless hard plastic cat flaps and locks so thought I’d go for a flexible flap with a sturdy locking mechanism this time. So far so good!

Easy to install with some fairly basic DIY skills and keeps any draught out.

Easy to install bu
Easy to install and use and to keep clean but magnet really needs to be stronger – any real wind and it flaps and the rain comes i

Easy to fi
So much better than the plastic flaps I will get years of use for my dogs it’s very sturdy and you can buy replacement plastic flaps on Amazon for around 20 only down side is the plastic screws don’t over tighten them or they break.

Great produc
Great product, used to cover up an old cat flap and vent, whilst making a new flap for our dog. The flap is good quality, easy to install with easy to follow instructions. Comes with an easy to use cutting template. The added feature of a solid plastic cover to use at night etc. Is great.

Starightforward and simple
Although I had a handyman fit mine, it appeared relatively straightforward and easy. We decided against Wi-Fi and blue tooth enabled products as invariably these can go wrong or run out of batteries. To ensure we bought the right size we cut out a door shape with flap in a sheet of cardboard and trained her to jump through this using some tempting cheesy bits. We were worried that our dog wouldn’t use it as she hates opening doors with her nose, but since the flap is quite lightweight and partially translucent she took to it straight away. The medium size is ideal for a Springer Spaniel size dog. We were also concerned that the magnetic flap might not shut every time or blow open in the wind but this has not happened and forms an adequate weather tight fit (note: our dog flap does not face a open area with a strong prevailing wind). When we go out or at night we simply slide the closing panel in place, which offers further security and weather protection. This product seems well made and sturdy

Good quality, good price
It was simple to install and my elderly cats and lunatic dogs have no problem using it at all, the dogs go through at light speeds and also push it open to check the weather, my cats go through more sedately and also push it open to check for dogs.
It’s definitely weather proof, looks good and wipes clea

Great but ....
Relatively ok to fit. But the plastic threads are cheap and nasty and not easy to fix, metal fixings would be better, I have replaced mine with metal and replaced the washers

Best one I have found
I have used this door flap for many years. This is a replacement after a few years use. The flap does tend to blow open if its windy which makes the house cold. My dogs are small but friends Hungarian vizla even fits through it.

Sturdy and well designed
Having always had plastic pet flaps before, they tend to wear quickly, break easily with exuberant pets, and discolour over time.

This metal pet flap feels much higher quality than any plastic one we’ve had before, and seems much more robust. I’m not sure what the longevity of the soft flexible plastic flap itself will be like, but it is easily replaceable (much more so than the hard plastic on most doors).

Overall, very pleased. The flap is well styled and robust.

My only minor criticism is that the screws are plastic, which does provide a potential weak point if a pet is prone to chewing the flap, and the plastic heads are on the inside, where this is most likely to happen. Not a major showstopper, as you can replace with your own metal ones, but i’d have preferred to not to have had to do that.

Quiet at las
We have had a dog flap for years the solid plastic one that bangs and clatters as they go in and out and had to replace the doors over the years as they crack with use and the sun on it so thought it was time for a change . This door is advertised wrongly as when you flick through the adds I thought the flap was metal but its the frame. I found this so easy to fit just had to make the hole higher and in it went the only down side are the screws they are plastic and not very good but replaced them with metal ones .the door fits flush to your door no bits sticking out looks lovely and its so quiet now don’t hear the dogs going in and out .

Don't go too big
I have black labs and opted for the medium size which was more than enough as the labs are happy to go through small holes in fences!, don’t go for the large one as I would probably fit through it.
Your door needs to be about 1″ thick or you will need to make a frame for it to sit in for sturdiness
Best thing I ever bought!, fairly easy to fit but not really much instructions to go by
the fixing screws are plastic which was my only concern but after over a year of heavy use its still working very well

Replacement Flap
Great size for the Cockapoos, easy to put into door. Only criticism is that they gave plastic screws in the kit. I tightened them up only to discover that I needed to make the outer hole in the door a bit wider than the inner one, so that the ‘metal nut’ would slip into the door. Unfortunately the cross head became ‘a round’ when trying to undo the screw. I have now used metal screws and nuts from my own stock.

Started great but it leaks.
This is a really nice looking dog flap. I fitted to a newly fitted door and it looks like it was made for the door. My dogs instantly used it like it had always been there and they had never used one before.
Unfortunately the British weather has defeated it and it leaks when it rains. I’ve since removed, siliconed and refitted. It still gathers water in the entry and leaks through even when the flap is closed with the cover on. I think it depends on the direction of the rain but the design allows water to gather on the outside and leak in.

Very good quality lasts a long time
Very good quality which I knew it would be as I’ve had one the same before and it finally got damaged so had to have another and would do so agai

Pig easy
Hubby said it was a pig to fit!
But is really good quality and puppy using independently.

Great, my dogs love it!
Not the easiest to install but looks great, the magnetic seal works really well; and my dogs love it!

Very large
Had to return as too big.
Own fault, should have measured properly.
Looked good quality though.

The template is to large
Easy to install but the cutout is to large if you followed this instruction the screws would be limited clearance. So I cut the hole smaller by 5mm all round. Which is a nice fit.
The flap is excellent quality the frame being metal instead of plastic and the flap is rubber so doesn’t make a bang everytime it opens and shuts. JUST BE CAREFUL OF THE HOLE SIZE. Better to make it smaller and make it larger.
Good product.

Much better than the plastic version, but not good in wind/rain.
We had the petsafe flap with a plastic frame, but then got a new puppy who ate the frame. Replaced it with this one. Easy to install etc. and the aluminium frame is great. Sits flush to the door rather than jutting out like the plastic one, a massive improvement. The plastic bolts are flimsy and ridiculous so would recommend replacing. I have used them and this has held up so far (been on for a year now), but I remain cautious.

Two points to be cautious of – this thing stays open when a dog comes back in when it’s windy and makes our kitchen freezing cold. Usually, kicking the magnet lock shut again keeps it shut, but the dogs are too stupid to do this. If it’s very windy it will open on its own.

Also, before installing, check that you will be able to slide the plastic locking shield thing in once it is in place. Ours fits, but only just. The plastic cover is great when you are away and don’t need to let dogs in/out.

Best cat-flap eve
Wish we’d got one of these years ago. All that money wasted on cat-flaps that cracked and broke. This is sturdy, keeps out drafts and when it’s locked, it’s well and truly locked. Our cat could fight his way out of the normal ones, but he doesn’t even bother with this, so I can keep him in safe and sound, away from foxes and other dangers.

Does What It Says
Excellent pet door. The hardest job was manually cutting the hole in the UPVC door. Easy to install once this was done. The very long nylon screws are a bit of pain. Obviously you can’t use a electric screw driver and cutting them short before you install may damage the threads. My adult Yorkshire Terrier has no trouble popping in and out.

Great value and performance
Others kept breaking as our rather chubby Schitzu barrels through them. This is on a different league for quality.
Soft flap closes with magnet and the rigid security blank panel is very effective.

Tough and looks good
Well done petsafe.
This is the best cat flap I have ever had.
Ok it lets a light draft in. They all do.
But it’s built tough.
All three of my dogs take personal pride in how fast they can destroy the cats flap.
Now my cat mocks their feeble efforts as it strolls in and out of the house at will through his still intact flap.

Robust and perfect fi
Finally, a dog flap that doesn’t break when the dogs charge through it! Good size, easy to fit. Brilliant value for money.

Great dog flap
Great dog flap. I have a shihtzu and the medium flap is the right size. Had a couple of nights where the dog escaped but realised that it wasn’t locked down properly and apparently she is a bit of a Houdini! Other than that very pleased with it!

Looks good, works well but is it a security risk?
My 9 year old had fun climbing through the medium sized dog flap. It does look nice and neat, but the size of the hole is a concern. Also go get some M4 nuts and bolts, the plastic ones supplied look flimsy.
