Pets love it, easy for the cat as well as the dogs, weather has to be really bad for it to flap, not too noisy
This pet flap, was easy to install and works great for both my dog and cat.
Its very quite when they come in/out of the flap not like the plastic flap which are very noisy .Also I like the fact that you can change the plastic flap and not the whole thing.

Simple to use, easy to slide the locking door in place and the dogs love it. No messy batteries, electrics or programming to go wrong.
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 and use and to keep clean but magnet really needs to be stronger – any real wind and it flaps and the rain comes i
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
The dog took a while to get around to using it.
Now it’s great. He’s learned to use it.
It shuts well most times.

Good product, would always choose this brand for pet doors
Have replaced our old PetSafe dog flap (plastic one) with this one. Had to make the existing hole cut in the door a little taller but it wasn’t a big job. Fits in great, it looks much better than the old one and being aluminum it seems much sturdier. Dog seems happy with it.

Nice product, sturdy and beautiful slim design. I love it!
This door changed my life. Pups go in and out as they please, from Husky to Jack Russell. Very quiet, no rain gets in with magnetic strip at bottom.

This item was easy to fit, it came with a handy paper template which made cutting the hole for the dog flap very accurate..

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

My bischon is very happy with his new door. He hops in and out with ease. i can lock it if going away. All good.
Much stronger than previous plastic version which kept getting broken as we have two dogs who sometimes try to get through together. Although stronger there is less draft exclusion as the old version had a double frame but can fit the supplied internal door flap in extreme weather.
We bought this as we had 2 issues with our dachshund puppy. Toilet training and separation anxiety. This door has been a lifesaver. Since it was installed our puppy can go out whenever he needs and he has only had one accident in the house. It has also nearly solved the problem of SA. Going outside gives him enough room to explore and he no longer whines and barks and enjoys being able to go out when he wants. Only downside, which is not a product fault, is that we have had to build steps up from the outside so that he doesn’t strain his back as it was quite a drop.
This well built and the best dog flap I have seen. This is the second one I have purchased for a second door. The dogs prefer these flaps.
Does what it needs to but it lets in a heck of a draft so we have to use the locking sheet in winter which kind of defeats the object of it a bit.

I have the small cat flap which is large enough for my 3 cats. We had somebody install it for us and he seemed to have no problems with it. It’s only been in a few days but appears very sturdy. I have taken the actual flap bit off for the moment so the cats can get used to it more easily as it is different to the previous cat flap we had and also in a slightly different location. Very happy with the cat flap so far.
THIS IS A GOOD DESIGN. BUT REQUIRED STEEL NUTS AND BOLTS.
The best pet door on the market simple to fit and works well with my newly adopted terriors. Over the years I have fitted 4 pet doors and this in my opinion is the best .
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.
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.
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.
always had conventional cat flap..till now!! this is a fabulous flap..doesnt blow open like others do..not unless the wind is very strong… seals the sides from drafts..and is easy to clean, the cats havent wrecked it more importantly! fabulous!!
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.
This is a good pet door, the only thing we had to do was make a 20mm spacer so the door lock would go in,apart from that it’s fine.
Good metal frame would not recommend for an external door as magnets only on the bottom edge. Overall very pleased.
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!

Should have bought this one sooner always used cheaper plastic staywell door but they only lasted six months this is stronger and better made.
I really like this dog flap. The magnetic strip keeps it closed and the flexible flap makes it quiet when the dogs come in and out. The medium size is a good size for my shih tzus. It took a bit of coaxing to get them to use it but they quickly learned how to do it and now they love it almost as much as I do! Brilliant!

Perfect. Very happy with it. And the dogs love it.
I have two miniature schnauzers and one jack Russell. I bought a medium size flap and it is perfect for them. Thank you!
When I first came to fit the flap in the door I did have a bit of a problem as the door wasn’t as thick as the smallest fit of the flap mounting. In the end I bought a wooden photo frame and fitted the wood around the flap on the inside of the door . It fits fine and looks good.

We needed a cat flap in our back garage door to allow our cats access to shelter if we were away from the house. It was relatively easy to fit and is of quite good quality. I initially thought it might be too small for the biggest of our cats but so far they all seem to be able to use it. I recommend this cat flap.
We bought two for a nine-inch outside wall. Our builder made a little tunnel for the dogs (a beagle and a terrier, for which ‘medium’ is the right size) to go through. We weren’t sure that we were doing right but they got used to it in seconds and the system (with the two flaps) works wonderfully. I might add that the flaps are very well-made.
This dog / cat flap is excellent for my two cats. It is so quiet when it closes. I highly recommend it.
Bought this to replace a solid door type as this one is quieter in oeration.
Bear in mind though on windy days this flap can blow open at times, especially in deep cold winter when the flap isnt as flexible as it is in warmer weather.

This style is the only one which has withstood this dog’s more boisterous exits-as a puppy-.He broke several of
the more rigid plastic frames.
This is a repeat of the one I have been using for 9 years-in a different house.
We have three beagels and works well, they did chew the clear door but that was expected and easy to get a replaceme
Bought this for our Border Terrier and Tabby to use. Was easy to put into the aluminium door and so far has withstood the dog hitting it at speed. It did struggle with the recent wind storms and let a draught in but we just inserted the barrier door.
Would recommend.
Fantastic product and draft proof as well. Our dog loves it! As the flap is soft it’s much easier for the dog to push it!! Had it now for couple of months, really happy with it.
The flap arrived with a ‘kink’ in the middle which meant it wasn’t connecting to the magnet at the bottom. Also, the kink meant it wasn’t flush and let the cold air/rain in. However, after writing to the seller, they were kind enough to replace the flap and now it works perfectly. No more problems. Highly recommend this company and the pet door.
Brilliant! My cat wouldn’t use a hard plastic flap but gets on with this just fine. Dog loves it too. He is the size of a parsons jack russell and has no problem getting through it. He’s a normal weight though, fatties might struggle!
good strong item and easily fitted. Attaching screws weak and colour variation or choice would be good.
beware – although i like the product, Staywell do not full describe the vertical clearance required to operate the sliding closing panel which in my case fowls the door cross bar above the panel in which the pet door is fitted.
Really good design and well made but really annoyed at the PLASTIC SCREWS it comes with to install it, they are brittle and snap the heads off with no trouble at all

This is great, no more cracked Perspex (I brought two different ones which were rubbish) and no draughts, dogs find it easy to go in and out and can also be locked at night.
Great at last a cat flap that our cat has not distroyed got used to it very quickly, very easy to fi
Make sure you will be able to take the sliding door out since our PVC door has got a window in the upper half and it prevents us from sliding it out (it gets stuck). We’ve bend the top bits of the metal rails it slides through a bit so it comes out more easily but best solution has proven to just not open it all the way (dog still gets through perfectly).

Works brilliantly! have had it for years and still in great working order. Have installed on plastic lower part of my garden back door for my Jack russel and he loves it. Learned how to use it very quickly too. Magnet still as strong as ever.

This pet door is perfect if you have two mad puppies and one crazy older dog .
I have gone through two of the regular pet doors that are plastic, in two years.
With this door , they can only go out one at a time and it doesn’t sound like an army is coming in the door.
It’s well made, silent and well worth the money for it .
Very good product.BUT-The plastic screws that are supplied with the door are as good as a chocolate fireguard,how can a company make such a clever product but let it down with 2p worth of screws
It is well worth paying more for the aluminium dog flap. It is much more robust and seals well. I also think it looks a lot nicer. If you do have a dog that is particularly energetic and damages the flap, even outside the warranty, it can be replaced very easily.
Our Jack Russels love it. Could do with a slightly stronger magnet as it swings in high winds. But overall is very good
Does the job and robust. Doesn’t break easily like other makes do when a dog is in a rush to run outside the house.
There are lots of cat-flaps on the market but most of them appear to be quite flimsy in construction. This product would seem to be the Rolls-Royce of (non-electronic) cat-flaps.
As with any such pet door, I would not recommend the large size for security reasons, except in the case of a shed or barn (or similar).

Good door now fotted successfully BUT plastic fitting screws are very delicate! When fitting, the head broke off one of the four screws. Any chance of a replacement screw please? Thanks

Good product, very helpful service department. One suggestion if fitting in a recess panel make sure the closing panel slides in, if not I used some 25mm wood baton between the inside frame & panel.
Nylon bolts are fragile (I overtightened one and it broke). Unfortunately they only provide minimum. Given low cost of these a couple of spares wouldn’t go amiss. Door though is superb and would recommend.

It took my Border Terrier a little while to get comfortable with his own personal door. After 2 days he’d sussed it out and loves it. I did not have any problems with the plastic bolts on installation. They’re actually better than metal ones as they have a security nut that prevents anyone removing the door from the outside and being plastic they’re simple to trim flush. The cover won’t fit if you have a centre bar across the door but just trim an inch or two of the edge sliders and it will fit without fuss.
The magnetic door closes well and is quite quiet. There is a very slight draft but until winter it remains to be seen how bad this will be. Overall I’m extremely happy with the product and my dog is even happier.
been using this as my dog flap for a good while now. Its great for my dog and works fine. In the storms the flap can get drafty but the cover is secure.

As described, very easy to fit and easy for the dogs and cat to use as its soft flap doesnt clatter and scare them. An excellent produc
Why didn’t I buy this sooner having wasted my money on keep replacing the original plastic one several times because my dog would break the plastic trying to escape when it was closed. This one is so much sturdier and set closer to the door so there are no gaps he can get his teeth around to pull. I had to make the hole slightly larger to fit it but it wasnt a difficult job. Highly recommended.
Brilliant dog flap. Had for a couple of months now. It always closes back with the magnets. Very easy to use for my 4 month old Cockapoo. I bought the medium dog flap. Now she runs through with force. Twice it has stayed open because of the extreme gales we had had lately but in normal strong winds it stays shut. It is nice and neat and easily wiped clean. Very quiet closure. Would highly recommend.
Great dog flap but will only fit a door at least an inch thick as my back door is only 10 mm thick where the flap was going i had to make a frame so it fitted ok ,also the plastic bolts that it comes with are very weak and snap very easy
Love this dog flap, been using this type for years as the plastic ones always got broken with the terriers going through it at speed. We have a medium size which accommodates the jack russells, lab and english bull terrier – oh and the cat …
Need one on a new shed/studio now so have purchased another. Highly recommended.

An improvement over previous Petsafe door that had a plastic frame. This aluminium frame is robust and was simple to install.
The shutter the closes the opening is of solid cast plastic construction, and slides-into channels in the aluminium frame. This design feature, and the brush-style draft seals around the flexible door flap reduces drafts into the home.
Replacement of the flexible door flap will also be a simpler process than the previous model I had.
This is really good and we bought this for a second home. We now have two and they are brilliant. Our cocker spaniels race through it and the plastic cheaper version were absolutely useless for them as they kept braking. This is very sturdy and copes with two dogs hurtling through it at speed. Sadly this later version has a plastic security door rather than the original hard metal door.
Great product. I like the security door that slides on. Only issues it only fits on one side. I would like it to be interchangeable and fit inside or outside.
Excellent, it stands up to my three collies constantly going in and out through it, so glad I spent a bit more to get the metal one, I don’t think the plastic version would have stood up to such use!
Much sturdier than any other make. We bought this for our dog and she flies through each way! The magnets are strong enough to stop it flapping in strong winds and you can secure it closed easily if need be. It was worth paying the extra for better quality.
Great product only problem they supply plastic screws which snap when you tighten, tried asking for new screws but they sent a whole new door, had to buy metal screws and nuts which worked perfectly so we got there in the end
This is a solid pet door better than the plastic versions which my dog used to break quite regularly. It also has a good seal on the flap which keeps the cold out. I would definitely recommend this pet door over the plastic version for excitable dogs!
