Really good quality, product exactly as stated, brilliant purchase. Thank you.
Not only does it keep the dog downstairs and the cat free to roam, it’s also keeps my unruly nieces, nephews and friends kids out of rooms i don’t want them to be in!!
Sturdy and fits well
We’ve just got a puppy and also have 3 cats. This is great!
It’s tall, sturdy and does the job.
100% recommended and would buy agai
This is a very solid gate and much taller than most, which is an advantage with a larger dog. If you have a bannister, check it will fit for the full height – we use it in a doorway (which is fine) but it couldn’t be used on our stairs.
In the cat flap gate range it’s better than others I’ve tried but use one without a cat flap if you don’t need that option as you’ll get a far better choice.
Beware – it looks faulty before fitting and there is only a very small note inside the packaging to let you know this is part of the design which we missed entirely at first.
my cats hated the black door – refusing to use it because they couldn’t see through. We have had to tape the flap open, which isn’t ideal. (The cats use other cat flaps every day with no trouble).
The lock is fiddly.
The door only opens one way which isn’t ideal.
Good quality gate, fits well without drilling, we used Wall Nanny from Amazon to help with the sturdiness without damaging the walls. Keeps the cats safely away from the occasional visit of son’s boisterous big puppy. We will keep it up all the time so that the cats remember how to use the cat flap.
I previously bought another pet gate, but my Staffordshire got through the cat door! It rendered the gate, useless!
This flap is smaller than the pet door, on the previous one, but it’s about the same size as a back door cat flap, so this one is fine.
The best thing is that the dog can not get through the flap, and can no longer escape to steal the cats food!
I can feel assured that if I go upstairs, for a long time, the dog can not get out, and it’s made well, so she can’t knock it off the door frame, either!
The latch is so much easier to use than other gates. Although it does get stuck, if you click it too hard, and needs to be re-clicked, to come unstuck.
That might be my heavy handedness, though!
It doesn’t stop it from working, so it’s not a problem.
I’ve used a shoe lace, to hold the flap permanently open, as my cat, either didn’t like it not being see through or, didn’t realise it was a flap?
Good sturdy product. My cat eventually got how to use it. I still don’t think he believes the dog won’t be able to get through it after him! I think the flap would be better in a clear material like the one he uses in the door. I think he likes to be able to see through it before going through.
Really impressed with this product. Easy to install. The cable tie was broken but is only for installation convenience.
The idea of the cat flap is great. I have 2 of these, they are easy to use and can fit almost everywhere with the small and large extensions. I moved them around while the puppy was growing and was allowed into different areas. I would recommend.
Seemed good, but wouldn’t adjust narrow enough to fit my small staircase.
Works perfectly, good height too. It stops our medium sized dog who loves to jump with her kangaroo like legs from getting up the stairs. Sturdy, straight forward to fit into place and the lock is easy to use even one handed.
This gate works really well. So happy that its very sturdy and well made. It keeps our dog safe and our cat still can come through whenever she likes. Thinking of buying another for back doo
Best gate I’ve tried so far. Ive tried using it with cat flap but I had to cut it out at the end. Cats couldn’t figure it out. Its so much better without the plastic flap door. Its really sturdy and opening door is easy. I had a few pet gate doors before with hard handles that hurts your hand but this one is alright.
Great stair/door gate. We bought this so the cats had some safe space from the puppy, and it works great although the cat flap is pretty large so even a medium dog can crawl through. We taped a piece of plastic to the cat flap space to make it smaller so puppy can’t get through and that works fine. Good height, and v easy to fit. Great solution to give cats space from a dog (or a baby/kid if you’re into that kind of thing).
Love this product. Have a puppy as well as 2 rag dolls (one of the rag dolls is shy and is frightened of the puppy). He is so much happier now knowing that the puppy can not get upstairs. Perfect for allowing the cats to roam freely and keeping the puppy within certain areas of the home.
Love these gates they are so easy to use. We had one for our border collie and it was out of stock when we want another.The other was so bad compared to the easy use of this one , we purchased this when it came in stock to replace the new one!
One warning we have cats and 2 border puppies.our female border puppy can fit through the cat flap bit at 6 months! so used the clips on it to shut for now.just incase anyone is thinking for smaller dogs.our older male border never even tried it but our girl can put her legs through and then worm through!. That said you can open one handed if needed and we love the gates.
This is actually a very good gate. Much better than others I have tried. I particularly like the fact that you can fix the cups for the feet in place. So even if you have to take the gate down You are guaranteed that it goes in exactly the same spot again. Solid too. I have a Caucasian Shepard (look it up) and if he jumps up and stands against it there is zero movement from the gate. If I had any gripes at all? The lock mechanism can be a little fiddly at times. You just need to make sure it’s up before you close the gate. There is a very small chance that if you were to swing it closed hard in a hurry when the latch is down it may break.
All round a highly recommended buy. Looks great. Does it’s job. Really strong.
Even the cats have a flap to use. Not that they are ever happy. They are cats.
This gate is ideal as it allows my cats to have their own space and stops the dog from following them. The cat flap is big enough for my larger cat to get through. Didn’t feel it necessary to fit the cat flap and left it open for free movement. Would definitely recommend this gate.
If you ordered a bigger size, the extra piece is in the box with the smaller size written on the box. This caused confusion initially, I thought we had received the wrong product.
Exactly what we needed.
Not easy to install for one person, as the wall caps kept falling off while I tried to position it. But in the end it’s a great product and it works well.
The catch doesn’t close automatically but apart from that it does the job of keeping our dogs out of the kitchen but the little dogs can get through the cat flap to get outside.
Bought this to keep puppy (Labrador) out of kitchen but so cats can still enter to get their food. Very sturdy and easy to unlock door one handed. Will still be good when puppy is older as gate is tall so no way she can jump it.
It’s actually a few mm wider than dimensions listed but easy to adapt, saved the cars life multiple times so far after we adopted a retired greyhound.
Easy too assemble and very sturdy, Persian cat not worked out how to use the door yet but hopefully will. Great gate.
Absolutely fantastic. I have used it on my stairs to keep the dogs downstairs when out and so the cat has a place to go and hide if he wants. It holds up to a German shepherd and bernese mountain dog without having to screw it into the wall.
Exactly what we needed to stop the dog trying to steal cat food all the time. Well built, easy to install and the locking mechanism is easy. Cats taking a few tries on the flap to get the idea but they soon mastered it once there was food on the other side. No complaints.
This gate is very study, and is easy to use. My cats are now feel much safer and have used it with ease. I have a large dog so I just tapped the cat flap to stay up at all times.
Just what I needed for a new pup and to kept cat safe. Very nice quality and I like that they are so tall as I will have a big dog. My cat will not use the flap so had to tape it so she can. Maybe they could make the flap see through. Very pleased with this
The cat flap is great and of perfect size even for my half maine coon. The only small disadvantage is that it is a blind catflap and some cats might refuse to use it because of it. It can be removed if needed just by unscrewing it, and the hole is small enough to not let a puppy come through (except if your puppy is cat sized haha). The catflap is lockable in case of need (for instance if you cannot supervise interactions with you dog).
The opening and locking mechanism can be a bit tricky to get too (a few friends of mine say this one is “name of the friend”-proofed, but the instructions are quite clear in the manual and it is easily done with one hand. this gate can open in both direction or only one depending on your needs!
Pressure wall mounted, which avoids your landlord to get mad at you for screwing in the walls !
Brilliant gate which keeps my kitty out when I need to venture down to the garage. Kitty cannot fit through the bars, although he has tried but knows where the cat flat is if the gate isnt open. Strong and sturdy. No complaints
Loved this gate but it didn’t fit my front doors angled frame.
It was too big for my internal doors so, unfortunately, had to return it. Arrived a day earlier that expected. Would definitely recommend purchasing from here.
Good quality product and very sturdy. Used it to keep our toddler out but let the cats i
We are happy with this gate. One piece of information very important to know is not to unlock the gate before assembling. We thought something was wrong and the gate would not close as appeared that it did not fit, but it’s not meant to work until assembly is completed. There is in fact a giant sticker on the outside of the box saying that this isn’t a design flaw, but we did not see the message until after trying to work this out ourselves! If you are bad at assembling things, its also very helpful to look at the outside of the box as it clearly shows a completed gate.
This pet gate was cheaper than a lot of others but is a fantastic product. Very well made and easy to install.
Very well made and easy to fit to the doorway, though it was nearly too big for mine so be careful if you have narrow doors (I checked mine before ordered) and be aware you may need to fit it such that the door cannot close with the gate in.
I was concerned the cat flap might be a little small for my ‘powerfully built’ feline but it was more than sufficient in size. My cat learned how to use the flap within a couple of minutes; I kept putting cat treats on the other side of the gate, and, after starting by holding it open for him, gradually opened the cat flap for him less and less until he had to do it entirely himself.
Best item I have ever purchased. After getting two kittens, I quickly learnt that my dogs think the litter tray is their personal “all you can eat” buffet. I installed a babygate which they just jumped over and it put my kittens off using the litter tray. Now with this pet gate my kittens can get to their litter tray happily but my naughty dogs can’t. Winner!
Delivery was earlier than expected. A good sturdy dog gate that was easy to fit and works well keeping my four small dogs out of the kitche
A part was broken when it arrived. It’s a very large item to have to return so I adapted it and it does the job. But seems a bit flimsy and wobbly with the extentions.
Great dog gate. We’ve got a Labrador and it stands up to his pawing when he’s jealous of the cats being on the other side.
The cat flap fits our mainecoon cross easily through, seems to be ever so slightly bigger than standard cat flap. Would definitely fit a tea cup dog through!
Cat flap is made of light plastic, swings easily and so our cats go through without hesitation.
Its a great product, it keeps my overexcited puppy away from my stubborn cat while I’m not home. It’s easy to install and adjustable in the doorway.
Great safety gate with the advantage of a built in cat flap keeps the dog out but enables the cats to roam freely. Really easy to fit and a perfect size gate. The opening/closing mechanism is a little tricky to master.
We bought this product as we took in a second cat, in order for 2 cats to get to know each other we gave the new cat a room of his own and used the gate as a barrier,however on first assembly and fit the new cat jumped straight over the top. So what to do now? Hmmm . Luckily for us the box it arrived in is exactly the width of the door frame where the gate is installed. So the box became a height extension for the gate and did the trick, as it was a nice snug fit he was unable to push it off and so resorted to using the cat flap provided. I think this is a great product but perhaps some thought should go into the height as cats can jump very high and as ours is only one year old so has a great spring. Overall I would recommend this product as it has helped immensely in the 2 cats overcoming the fears of each other and they are now friends.
Good quality but we bought this with the maximum extenders which affects the stability and ease of instalation needs 2 people to keep it steady while fitting. Very smart in the matt black and the cat flap is a nice addition. The height is spot on most dogs will not attempt to jump this, Houdini dogs might manage though. There is always 1.
Absolutely love this gate its genius love that the cats can just go threw when they like. I had to take the flap off though because it scared the cats. But would recommend to everyone I love i
This gate was to give our 2 cats a safe and secure space in their room, where the dogs couldn’t go, but whereby the cats could access the rest of the house. It has worked well, and all are getting used to the arrangement. It is easy for human access.
This dog gate is great, very sturdy and easy to open and close, BUT the cat flap is dangerous because it is too low. The cat flap should be at least 10″ off the floor. The first night it was installed my new rescue dog (who likes looking out of my back door cat flap) stuck her head through the gate cat flap and the flap dropped on to her neck and she tried to escape, pulling back and brought the whole gate down as it was not screwed but stuck. Luckily she wasn’t hurt as the gate which is heavy, fell on top of her. If the cat flap was installed higher up a dog could put its head in and the flap would be higher, so they wouldn’t get trapped at their neck, getting their head stuck. I will now have to keep the cat flap locked, which is in my bedroom door, so that the dog can’t try again to get into the bedroom with me. Needless to say it is now screwed, but that doesn’t stop her getting trapped by the closing of the flap onto the back of her neck! As the cat always sleeps with me, and the gate is the extra tall one, I have had to tie an old jumper on the top of the gate so that she has a grip to be able to jump onto it and over. All unnecessary if it had been better researched.
Good product, sturdy, good fit. The lock mechanism took a wee bit of getting used to but is fine now. I would mention that our rather broad cockerpoo-sized dog did manage to get through the cat flap, I have no idea how! Following a tip from another reviewer, I put a large jubilee clip in the hole, fastened with zip ties, which makes the hole round instead of square and slightly smaller. That worked!
I’m very happy with this gate, I needed a gate to stop my terrier from eating all the dry cat food. It’s so high that she can’t jump over it but the cat flap means the cats don’t need to jump either. I now have a small area that the dog can’t access but the cats can very easily access. I bought the extension too, and the whole thing was so easy to fit. I’m happy, the cats are happy, the dog, not so happy.
Have now bought a second gate with an extension. An excellent gate.
When fitting it is much easier if you keep the cable tie (that is on the door when it is unpacked) on the door till after it is fitted. I will be fitting another cable tie before moving the gate to a new position.
The 104cm extra tall gate is perfect for stopping even a large dog (what our pup will become) from jumping over while allowing our cats freedom of movement. They can go upstairs for peace and quiet whenever they want. The cat flap can be locked shut or left to swing free.
The double locking system handle doesn’t feel that intuitive and will take some familiarisation but it is effective for ensuring that only those with opposable thumbs and fingers can open and close the gate! To both close and open the gate requires the bottom and top of the handle to be pushed and pinched together. I would have preferred a handle that could be shut by just pushing the gate to, but this handle does mean that the gate needs to be shut with more care which is safer.
The gap for the gate to go into at the bottom of our stairs was 83cm at the top and 79cm at the bottom and it was easy to adjust the two top and two bottom pieces to fit the gap exactly. If you have a wider gap then there are multiple options to extend the gate width up to 148cm.
The puppy is less impressed but the cats are pleased to have their own space, off limits from the pup!
Great product, easy to install. BUT the flap needs to be clear and not white plastic, as the fact that cats can see through the bars, but not the flap, confuses them, it is also quite heavy which for smaller cats seems to be an issue.
Overall good , just needs one or two small adjustments.
I sed this gate to create a barrier between my rescue greyhound and my two cats . Good gate,easy to put up and good height. The catch takes a bit of practice though. If you want the gate to open in the other direction we found that you can unscrew the bottom stopper and fix it on the other way.
Really good pet gate. It took the cats a while to realise they could go through the flap, but eventually they got the hang of it! It’s great for keeping the cats or whoever in the kitchen to eat their food in peace! But also good for keeping others out so they don’t raid the bins!
One thing I’d prefer though, is for the gate to be opened both ways, instead of one…..
Its very tall. Don’t think the dogs will be able to jump over. The cats haven’t figured out the flap yet. I may need to remove it. Not the products fault, I don’t have the smarttest cats.
The flap is kinda big, so if you have large cats they should be abble to fit.
If you have small dogs they will easly fit through the flap, but that shouldn’t really need to be said.
This is an excellent product, The best I have come across, I had another brand in position which was useless, This gate fits
better and looks better and is better made, I would have no hesitation in recommending the gate to others without reservation; Very easy put
together and fitted without using the screws supplied.
Great product but my dog is very determined and squeezes thought the flap which we now keep lock as the cats can jump ove
I’ve bought this gate hoping I could easily prevent my 1yo pitbull to get inside my 6mo baby’s room since she was jumping over all other gates I’ve bought before and it worked. I’ve received a damaged gate and reached the costumer service the very same day, my issue was solve so easily and fast that I couldn’t believe. I would rate both gate and costumer service 10 stars if I could. Awesome!!
Fantastic gate! Bought to aid introductions between my cats and my new dog. Easy to fit and set up, latch could be easier to manage though. The gate only opens one way but I haven’t found this to be too much of an issue. It’s very strong and tall enough that my fully grown German Shepherd hasn’t been able to shift or jump it in the slightes
It’s a great concept. My cats no longer need to jump over the dog gate, I cut the flap off as it was heavy duty & I didn’t think they would use it. Fitting it was a nightmare, I was probably doing something wrong, but the twirly things are a complete nightmare – Anyone else had problems?
It arrived quickly & I am very pleased with it.
I guess it says it’s not suitable as a child gate as said child may get their head stuck in the cat gap. I was a bit worried my dogs may do that very thing, but so far so good. If one of the dogs does get his / her head stuck in the cat gap & pulls it off the door frame I will not be putting the gate back up, that was an experience I do not wish to re-live, ever!
This is perfect for the job easy to put up and take down should you need to. Fits doorway perfectly can be adjusted. Came on day requested as asked for fast delivery. Well made strong and sturdy. Nicely packed
Sturdy, and string and so far very pleased.
Gave four stars as it’s a bit awkward stepping over pole on step but I guess that has to be there for it to be secure just makes it a little awkward, my mother in law has tripped on this part of it.
This is a brilliant gate and I bought this after I had to return another one that was not fit for purpose. Really happy with this and it means my cats don’t have to jump over it as they can use the cat flap instead. Puppy can fit his head through the flap but thankfully is bum is just that little bit too big to fit through
This has massively simplified the process of acquainting our cats with our new dog. Great stuff.
It is worth noting however that after a couple of days I attempted to move this to another door frame to find it had bent quite a bit and was a bit more difficult to fit the second time.
Bought to help our older cat who is starting to suffer from arthritis. Does what it’s supposed to do, creating a room for the cat to get to without the dogs…sort of! However if you have a small dog, like we do, be prepared for it to be able to get through the cat flap! We have a small shih tzu and she’s found out she can fit through quite easily! The gate is good quality just wish the flap was a little smaller to deter the dog!
Product arrived today, installed in minutes few. I wanted the height to contain my escape artist toddler and the cat flap so that there is always an escape route for the lazy cat. I would like to see an easier way to remove the ‘flap’, it is riveted to itself around the bar of the gate. Build quality and fixings are decent, cheap at half the price though…..
Great to keep the dogs out and the cat free traffic – it took a while for the gate to stay put, it has fallen down a few times – I check it regularly now
we’ve had various stair gates over the years, to stop the dogs from going upstairs, all have which have become trashed by the dogs pushing them down and so weakening the stoppers. This one is AMAZING!! it’s stayed put and the dogs can’t shift it. Very happy. The cats have even learnt to use the cat flap 🙂
The gate is very easy to fit, with supplied wall cups, and the tension bolts are adjusted by turning a wheel on the bolt rather than with a spanner. There is a plastic block at the base of the gate that can be unscrewed and reversed depending on which way you want it to swing open, or else you can leave it off and it will open both ways. The lock is easy to operate, with a thumb safety catch and a pull-up handle.
Very pleased with this and would recommend.
Couldn’t be more pleased with this. My dog is very reactive to people who come to the door so I bought this so that I could put her in a different room away from the door when people arrive, but where she could still see what’s going on – she can then come out when she’s calmed down. It’s just perfect. Really easy to fit and I’ve had to take it off and refit it a couple of times due to moving furniture, etc, and all so easy and painless. It’s also tall enough that most dogs would not be able to jump over it without a long run-up. Would highly recommend.
Good strong gate, high enough to stop all but the most athletic dogs from jumping. Just wish the cat flap was a little higher up. Most cat flaps are a few inches from the ground, but to be fair it’s doing the job of letting the small furries into rooms big furries can’t go.
These gates are well worth the money. Easy to fit and string. Just make sure you measure the dimensions of your door frame first to ensure you get the right size. Needing to provide a secure separation between cats and a new rescue dog these gates are very useful.
The cats can come and go as they wish into areas where the dog is allowed. Works very well whilst we try to train the new dog to not be so interested in the cats and stay clear.
Would be nice if they had a cat flap you could lock in ‘open’ position but we just tie it open permanently.
Use two of these barriers to keep dog and cat apart. Easy to install and may be the one with out the cat flap would be good enough for most people.
Cat flap fairly large good idea for most cats and even for small dogs to pass through. Would have to be a big dog to jump over the top, but not impossible. Good product well made.
Nice gate, easy to assemble as not on stairs and did not need to drill holes for cups however as other comments have mentioned it is not very sturdy when fixed, a heavy dog leaning on it may push it down (I don’t know if it more sturdy using the cups). Other than that it is great and the cats use the flap first time they investigated.
Absolutely brilliant I’ve been stuck in as my dog and jump the highest wall and eats all my post when he finally ate my new bank card that I desperately needed I’d had enough bought this as all other gates failed. He’s a Irish wolfhound x because he needs a run to jump this high and it’s placed where he can’t get much run its perfect so so worth it. The only gate that worked I’ve bought 4 different types over year
Thank u it’s perfect and my little zuchon can get through cat flap if I want as it’s lockable brill
Brilliant gate. Excellent quality and so fab with the extensions because we have extra wide stairs im glad I ordered the extensions. Love the cat flap. Don’t have a cat but will be brilliant for when we do. It’s a bit stiff for me to open and close but that’s condition of my disability so I can’t keep it closed but would be good if thus was taken into account and could have a more manageable catch fitted for people like me. Especially as my doggies can now push the gate open!
good height for medium dog, larger dog would probably be able to jump it. cat flap doesn’t lock very well & my 8 month collie managed to squeeze through it so its now taped up! overall pleased with it.
I love the idea of this but my cat won’t go through the cat flap. I think it’s because it is a solid panel. If it was see-through, then it would be perfect. Also, the flap is a little small. I have a large fat cat. The other problem I have is that this door doesn’t open both ways. I find this really frustrating when I dont’ want my dogs to get into a certain part of the house but have my hands full and can’t operate the door latch.
Sturdy, great height to keep large dogs out and good closing mechanism, a little fiddly one handed though. Have to agree with another reviewer, the flap is a bit rubbish as the cats don’t like pushing up against something opaque and not knowing what’s on the other side but it has saved my cat food from being eaten by the dog so overall would recommend.
Brilliant product and a very good price compared to similar products on the market. Very easy to fit and perfect to keep my new puppy away from my cats safe haven! Amazing delivery time, it was literally delivered the very next day, with tracking giving the exact time (an hour window) when it would be delivered, fantastic!! I would definitely recommend this product for those households with cats and dogs that need their own space!
Brought the gate to replace an old one as my cat is getting older and I thought the cat flap would make life easier for him. Unfortunately one of my dogs can get through it, also as my door frame is on an angle it kept falling down. So have gone back to my old one.
Because one of my cats has only got 3 legs I have to put his bowl of food on the floor in the kitchen which means that my guide dog is constantly stealing it. As I result I have bought this pet gate and I’m glad to say that my cat can now eat in peace and the dog can no longer get into the kitchen!
Despite only having 10% vision I found this gate very easy to install on my own so I imagine fully sighted people will find it very simple also.
I bought this for a new cat and two resident GSD. It arrived in excellent time and there was no damage to the packaging. I found it easy to follow the instructions and it fits well inside a door frame. My dogs do not jump up but if they did it would need the the cups to be screwed to the wall. I can see that this would be more difficult to fix between walls due to the fact that the upper brackets are at the top of the cut out gate and it flexes slightly when the screws are tightened, but putting a bracket up on the wall would fix this.You can’t hang a door without a door frame! I didn’t buy any extensions. It is easy to open one handed using your thumb on the top button and squeeze with your fingers, then pull or push open as required. It might be difficult for the frail or elderly. We love the cat flap. Though the cat does “hit and run” through it!
It is taller than I thought it would be even with measuring, having said that it is perfect to stop my dog getting upstairs and allowing the cats their freedom up there. it feels solid and I find it really easy to use, the gate swings both ways! which is great.
Bettacare Pet Gate with Cat Flap Effective Barrier for Pets with Extensions…Its taller then a baby gate but works well. Only grumble I have is the cat flap is big or my 6 mth old puppy is to small as she fit through it so we cant have it unlocked and the cats have to jump over the gate and that’s not easy as the gate is tall, the puppy we have is a boarder/jack russel terrier weighing 5kg.
I bought this item as we have to keep our cats safe upstairs from our ex racer greyhound downstairs. It’s very easy to forget to close the door properly (which has happened) and this product provides a second layer of protection for our kitties. They happily use the cat flap (after a little while) to go up and downstairs to go out and the gate is tall, so there’s no chance of a dog jumping over. A great product which is easy to fit and provides great peace of mind for us and our animals would definitely recommend
I was very pleased with the height of this gate as it did stop my kittens from jumping up and outside, however, there is one thing that I find quite baffling, if you look closely you will see that the gate portion is well suited to stopping your pet from slipping through the gate, but, if you look at either side of the actual gate you see that in fact the bars are further apart thus allowing your pet to get through, as I have cats they find this all too easy and so I have had to amend the sides with board to ensure that they cannot get out unless I wish them to.
If you have very large pets this is not an issue obviously, but small dogs or cats are very likely to find this easy to escape from unless you do your own diy to the side portions.
This gate is great. After using a standard gate which my puppy could jump over this one keeps her in the area where I want her.
I would’ve liked it to be slightly narrower so I could use it at the top of my stairs so is not in use for the purpose I intended. I can’t leave the cat slap open yet as the pup manages to fit through it. She is a Springer cross Collie and isn’t small at all.
Just purchased a second one of these for another doorway. The first one I got back in 2011 still looks brand new even though it is in use in a high traffic area in the living room doorway.
I have two GSDs and a miniature poodle plus two cats and the occasional visiting kid. It is a good height to keep the two big dogs in. The poodle does fit though the cat flap though so if you want to keep little breeds of dog in get one without the flap, and as a puppy he actually fitted through the gaps at the sides of the door! We had to fill in the gaps with cable ties.
It’s easy fit and the gate is well made. There is no sign of any fatigue on the handle of my first one, which is what went on my original pet gate of a different make. This gate does not have a mechanism where it will just lock if you push it to, you have to use the handle. This gate will only open in one direction.
Well worth the extra few pounds!
We brought this gate because of the extra height for our new 1 year old german shepherd cross .As we needed to introduce her to our three cats and the fact that they might need an escape route the cat flap seemed like a great idea – cats have not used it once and jump over the top – well the idea was there.The gate was easy to fit and can be fitted without drilling or drilled to the wall – we chose not to drill, but be warned don’t lean on it if you do this and have it fitted against gloss paint as it will slip and you will fall unceremoniously into the room flat on you face!! The dog can jump high but has not tried to get over it and it has been a brilliant solution to keeping all the animals safe and also giving the new dog her own space – I would highly recomend this product.
If you are looking after dogs and want to restrict access, this is a must have. A child stair-gate is just too low for some dogs. I purchased this after looking after a husky, which jumped the normal gate as if it didn’t exist. The solution at the time was to get the spare baby gate and position upside down over the top of the other. A lot of smacked heads later, crawling through the bottom etc caused further investigation.
This gate adds 50% to a standard gate height. While it is not high enough to foil a determined Sheppard or large dog, it is perfectly adequate for most breeds or larger breeds that are not quite as excitable.
The cat flap seems an unnecessary addition to me, but does not degrade the product.
So in summary, I would have liked one to be higher really, but it will serve, was very good price, very good quality and easy to install.
We have wide doorways, so ordered this gate with an extension. It works perfectly for what we want and was easy to assemble and fit. The cat can get through to the laundry (and from there to the exterior cat flap in the back door) but the preschooler and toddler can’t get into the laundry/back stairs/cat food area.
My only quibble (and the reason I knocked off one star) is that the cat flap is set very low in the gate and our cat really has to slink down to get through. She can do it, but she’s not the most svelte or agile of cats at twelve years old and she much prefers to sit at the gate and yowl for someone to open it.
After searching the Nation Market for similar product a main door with a smaller one for my cat, I found the ONLY retailer here in Amazon who have it & can send it in my Country (Greece).
9 months now we have a kitten in our house and she had all the house for her own (beside us), before 3 weeks we adapt a female puppy from a shelter, and she are so cute.
Our kitty & Puppy are play together, but the puppy sometimes goes over exited and grasp our little kitty from the neck, ear, foot and she don’t like it very much, and our solution beside the dog trainer which we already have, are the this product.
I have order the main door with the two extension so I can split our house in two sections.
Our kitten has enter the small & exit door right away, from the 1st hour we have see our kitten more happy.
