Large Dog Pet Door For Sale (2024 Update)

In our old house we had this door and loved it. The door was on the north side of the house but always kept the wind, cold and snow out! So naturally when purchasing a different house, my first purchase was another door! This truly is THE BEST door! We substituted metal screws for the plastic ones. The door held up perfectly to our 2 rambunctious Schnauzers too!Terri Nevada MO

I would highly recommend this doggy door. This doggy door is very well made and sturdy. It has a nice piece to slide in when you want to block the door. My friend came over to install it yesterday and the instructions were clear and it even came with a template to help with an uncomplicated install. Now the fun part will be getting my fur baby to use it.Dreambiz

The advertisement for this door does not give you the measurements needed for the wall or door opening which would help in determined the size you order. They are not clear on the fact that this unit is for the door and not the wall. They offer a wall kit for more money if you intend to install this in the wall. The wall kit is not needed if you are a handyman type person but you will have to go to the hardware store and buy longer screws because they are only available when you buy the wall kit. Why not just put the screws in the kit to start with.Otis2

Being a senior widow im on my own. I installed this myself in a wood door. I thought whats the worst that could happen..buy a new door. Got er in just fine actually was easynancy

We have not installed it in the door yet…but just looking at it, it looks sturdy and indestructible, which is good, because my dog literally eats and tears the doors with the flexible plastic. He's a monster. This should do the trick. Well put together and hard plastic tri-flex door flap. Best price I can find for these is here!!Kim

I have 7 dogs of varying sizes who use this door constantly. The only fault I find is that the rubber gaskets between the slats in the door wear out . Everything else lasts a very long time. I tweaked it by putting piano hinges between the slats and that has extended its use a lot. If I could buy just that part the door would last practically forever! Even with my over-sized pack!HappyKat

Having two doggy doors has always been a problem. The prior doors were made of plastic and with our weather changing all the time, the would break apart quickly but not with these new Metal doors. And the flap is even made better. Couldn't be more pleased!!priddyclover

When purchasing they say aluminum frame. The don't tell you the security door is made of very thin PLASTIC. Another example of cheaply made American crap by a greedy, deceptive corporation. What ever happened to quality?2justftw

I recently added a little screened in outdoor room for my cats and dogs to use for a little outdoor time. This pet door works perfectly. The dogs and the cats have no problems using it. It’s big enough for the dogs and easy enough for the cats to use too. I especially like the added inner flap that helps keep the hot outdoor air out. The slide in insert is great too because I like to close it at night to keep anything from possibly getting in the house. This is not the first time I’ve used a Petsafe door and it won’t be the last. Great productJohnnypat

Awesome quality product! Bought 6 for our kennel and are great! Lil pricey but you get what you pay for. Bonus that you can buy replacement flaps if needed.davem88

We got this to install at my grandma’s house. She uses a walker and often has trouble getting up as frequently and quickly as the dog needs to go outside. this is perfect because it alleviates the problem for both of them. This is not a job for one person to install – assistance may be needed to line it up and some kind of sealant might be needed if the cut isn’t perfect. But overall, I recommend! Also, I sized up to large because I couldn’t picture the opening size being enough with the medium, but probably could have gone with a smaller size since the dog has more than enough room.BRMomma

In my situation, I wasn't mounting it in a door, but making a spot in my screened in porch for my ChiWeenie to go out. It is of rather simple design. A sandwich of the two sides with the flap attached to the outside half. I made a small frame of 1x2s and cut the screen to fit. My dog took to it right away.MikeInSouthportNC

The plastic flap doesn't hang properly. There's a little gap in it. We'd already sawed the door and couldn't leave it open to return so we're stuck with it. I'm not happy but what can we do now?!! I wouldn't recommend it.fontanafun

My little shih tzu that weights 5lbs finally comes through this doggie door. Have had a doggie dog for about 3 years and she would never use it, always had to open the door, but with this particular doggie door she actually goes out and comes in it all the time! Love it.Happy mom for my fur baby

We were having a hard time trying to teach our 4 month old puppy to bark to let us know when it was bathroom time. We felt a doggy door was the next option. We did not have a door that directly addressed our back yard. The only option was a wall doggy door. I was kind of reluctant to cut a hole in a wall. It was either a hole in the wall or get rid of the dog. Long story short is the installation was breeze and in one day our puppy was house broken. She loves her puppy door and we are very glad we made this purchase. The door is mostly plastic but is very sturdy for our 10 pound dog. I would recommend this doggy door.Ty S

This is a great door! My Frenchie figured it out, but she is a little hesitant because the magnets are so strong she doesn’t think they’ll open. She just has to put her bull head against it and she can get in and out very easily. My builder put it in and was pretty impressed with the whole thing. It was a fairly inexpensive solution to a tough problem when one has a dog but doesn’t want to ruin their house. This is replacing another great item that was a door filler for a sliding door but I got tired of walking sideways through, constantly hitting it, and jaring it out of place. Highly recommend the permanent one one. This is a great door!Hope

We love this dog door for our German Shepard and yellow lab-loved it actually- until a visiting Great Pyrenees went through it and came out the other side wearing it, frame and all. So basically it was a great door for three years until it met its match. We’ve just replaced it with this new door and it went in easily as we had the hole already cut and had installed it once before. I totally do recommend this door.Marcy K-C

Replacing our current door with the identical door which is 16 years old. It had 3 dachshunds running through it and the flaps were in need of replacement. This is a very durable door and I highly recommend it.jimmiekayo

Pet door flaps made very cheap,extremely light weight, when the slightest wind comes along both flaps are straight out to the outside, magnets in the wrong place to hold the flaps, I have had pet doors for many years and NEVER had this problem, I will never recommend buying this one, not worth the money for sure, very disappointed. Will need to look for a better quality door for sure, a waste of money.Kenneth

I have looked everywhere for a big doggie door, I have a huge 110 lb German Shepherd and he was hitting his foot on the bottom of the old door I had in. It got infected and he had to have surgery. Long story short I found this big door and my dogs happy so that makes me happy. Plus I found other doors but you had to pay extra for the part that you put on to keep them in or when you're gone.Granny 3

This is my second purchase of this door for my cat. Overall, a decent product. First one, the cover was rather loose, but worked. The second one, the cover was too tight, could NOT get it off, not even by prying all around the flap area and edges. Finally, in frustration, I called Petsafe to see if I'd done something wrong. Was told there have been some complaints, that I could try cutting it off and they are sending me a new cover. Hung up and looking at it thought hm, could pushing on the middle while lifting on the flaps help. Guess what….it snapped right off.Dodi78years

I bought a petsafe pet door fourteen years ago. I live where it gets to a hundred and ten or more in the summer. After seven years the plastic flap warped and so I bought a replacement flap. It has been another seven years and again the flap is warped but they no longer make the replacement flap for the xlarge classic door. I found this at newer version at petco for seventy four bucks and bought a discount gift card so I was able to just replace the whole dog door for sixty two dollars. I figure its good enough and will outlast my dog.cami62

Easy enough to install, but their use of nylon bolts is a downside. I understand it is so you can cut the excess away. But it probably wouldn't have cost any more (possibly a tiny bit more) to engineer the door to use metal hardware so it wouldn't strip as easily. The other issue I have is the "security" snap on door. Because it's snap on and not slid in or lockable, both my dogs have been able to push it off from the outside in. And the door is XL so it's big enough for a person to crawl through, so there is absolutely no security from a person entering standpoint. Other than that, the door works perfectly well for letting the dogs in and out independently, and keeping the heat/cool outside.Chefblue

This was dribbling enough water into my utility room during storms that I had to disassemble it to figure out where it was leaking. I couldn't find exactly where it was letting water in, so once I got it reassembled, I caulked the heck out of it and it seems to be okay for now. Taking it apart and reinstalling it was a major hassle. Most of the nylon screws either broke or wouldn't fit all the way back through, after numerous attempts. Seems to be poorly engineered. And the door where it was leaking isn't even facing in the usual direction of the wind/rain, so I don't know why it leaked so badly.TS777

I've only had this particular door a short while. I would recommend replacing the plastic bolts with metal. After a while plastic does not hold up to active dogs. So far so good.Grace 2022

I had a Large PetSafe Dog Door in my previous home. I loved the panel that came with it that would "slide-in" and allowed the door to be "locked". When I purchased my new home, a new dog door was on the top of my to do list. I went to the store to purchase one. I notice the x-large door was cheaper than the large door (I thought it was on sale or what not) so I opted for the larger door. When it was time to install the door (my brother installed it for me), I came home to notice that the Panel did not slide in and lock like my previous dog door, instead it just "pops" on. From the outside of the door it would take very little effort for someone to "pop" the panel off. And in fact, from inside…my dogs have mastered "popping" it off themselves…making the panel absolutely useless. I've now done some research and noticed there are two types of PetSafe dog doors…aluminum and plastic. Apparently the aluminum door is what I had previously with the "sliding" panel…and now I am the disappointed owner of the plastic door with the "popping" panel. Had I known there was a difference in doors…I would have opted for a Large Aluminum PetSafe dog door; however, now I'm stuck with a useless X-Large Plastic PetSafe dog door. Now because there is an X-Large hole cut out of my door, I would have to go with an X-Large Aluminum PetSafe dog door, but I cannot afford to spend that kind of money, and a Large Aluminum Petsafe dog door will not fit the space. If I were rich, I could just buy a new door and a new dog door, and problem solved; however, I am not rich, and even the thought of having to buy another dog door when I've already purchased one is making me very upset, but the Panel for the Plastic Door is truly useless…and the Panel component is extremely important in my situation. The Plastic Dog Door itself is a good dog door…I only have a problem with its "popping" Panel. If the Panel is an Important feature for you as well…please go with the Aluminum door, NOT the Plastic door. I sure wish I had known about the difference in the first place!Kari

Just order our 3rd doggie door. Our first door was installed when we first moved in almost 17 years ago. We had a two small dogs so the cat size was perfect. As they aged we needed to replace the dog door size to make it a bit easier for the now old dogs to use. Also the house door was changed so we wanted a new dog door for appearences. Now our replacement door flap doesn't fit as air tight and we have lost a bit of the plastic on the out side frame. These things are due to LOTS of use and NJ weather. Hot summers and Freezing winters. Plastic really gets tortured. Ours was installed by the men installing the storm door so that was a plus for us. I called in to get a price on a new door and Pam in customer service was able to answer all my questions and provide me with just what I needed. Thank You Pam. My new door should be here with in the week ready for our Jack Russell pup and silly grandchildren that think its a hoot to come in thru the doggie door. This is a good product-needs to be installed properly like another item in your home that gets this much use. If that is done and you inspect it when cleaning it you should have years of use. You couldn't pay someone to open the door that many times a day! I would be nuts without mine!Bonnie S.

Nice pet door! I was a little irritated with the plastic screws and cheaper design, but I understand why the company went with the plastic screws. Installed well. And this really needs to be internal pet door for those questioning which one to buy. I would buy a double flapper if installing into a wall, and probably a stronger material, such as aluminum, if installing into a external door.TShea

Well made. A good buy compared to the ones I shopped at Lowes for. Comes with steel screws instead of the plastic ones the rest I saw came with. Easy installation in an aluminum storm door.tohellwiththisreview

This pet door is easy to install with the proper tools. My pets had no problem going in and out and the door shuts air tight magnetically. This is a great deal!Melinda

This is just what we needed. It is well built and sturdy. Would be better if the drop down panel did not have to be removed.Gerry

Good study quality at a great price..just wish the flap was a little bit longer other than that I am super happy with the purchase…jajoh-4659

Lifechanging! We were slaves to our pets and now laugh at the German Shepard who jumps in and out constantly. Our cats took a minute to overcome the heavy flap but are now using regularly. Even our blind chihuahua who is very timid has even become accustomed to it.Amanda

This is a great dog door. I bought it to replace a well used older PetSafe medium door. It took a little longer to install since my door already had a previous door. Mostly it required more trim and fitment time to install, if you have a good grinding tool or hand file set it will really help. The door slides easily in place without binding. It does flex just enough that if someone wanted to enter the house from outside with it closed they could open it. But it is not meant as a security device just to prevent kids and animals from getting out which it does well. It looks great installed, very flush to the door, seals out the drafts really well. All of my dogs including my small pug size mixed breed has no problems going in and out the door. I still need to seal the outside but I'm glad I bought this door.YaheeTech

We were replacing a worn out pet door. We have 5 doges using this door daily, and it lasted a LONG time. Qucik delivery & easy installation.Diane Br

This is the perfect entry and exit for your pets. We have a small dog, a full size pit and then a oversize pit and they all use the door with no issues. There is also a close off door that you can attach for when you leave for several days or when you don't want your pet outside.shirley.k

The door was easy to install and the quality was as good as advertised. Only issue was the screws were almost too short due to the door thickness, but they worked and the dog door fit nicely.bingcae1

I have a huge 75lb male english bulldog, a 35lb corgi and an 18lb maltese. I was worried about the small ones getting through this with the double flaps and also it being the super large one, but so far they are better with the door than the bulldog is. This door is great. And since my corgi has the shortest legs I actually put the door a little lower than you are supposed to and it was totally fine. The only thing I don't like about this door so far is the wind does push open the flaps, but it's usually only when it is pretty bad out. And I haven't had a problem with my magnets falling back in line on the bottom of the flaps like some people posted about, so I really like this door!Natalie

This pet door is sturdy and durable. The template didn't line up, so we installed the door without it. I have a very large dog that plows through it at top speed and it has held up to his abuse. I have a tripod dog and she is able to use it without any problems. We did have to remove one of the flaps to get the dogs used to it with treats. It gave us a sense of comfort knowing the dogs could go in and out of the house while we were out of town and couldn't take them with us. I also have a large dog who is terrified of thunderstorms and I hated leaving her when I knew our normal weather patterns would include late afternoon storms. We researched pet doors and this one was well suited to our needs and less expensive than the electric collar types.iou2much

This door was much easier to install than my previous door. Just as advertised it prevents the wind from blowing the flaps open and letting the A/C escape. It has a weather seal already and does not need caulking. I highly recommend this product even if you don’t live in a windy area. Best design ever.evelyn

easy to install. its my 4th one that I have installed and it is easy. the plastic swing door lasts about 31/2 years with 5 dogs.camostud

Excellent opening size for our pet who is 18 lbs. I purchased the Medium opening. Our sliding door is a custom height of 12 FT, not a normal height, so using the extension included with the patio panel still doesn’t reach the top of the sliding door, which of course is not the problem of the manufacturer of this product. We remedied the problem by using and cutting to size a disposable hard foam cooler, fitted with a foam edge window and door sealer in order to eliminate cool and hot air from coming in and out. It’s not perfect, but works for our pet and for our use.Grace

The door is well made and easy to install. we bought the large bronze. Only problem we have is that we have 3 dogs and one is a pug, other two are big 80lb even though rated for 100lb dogs and I measured them, for out dogs was a little short., I fixed by adding a small block under raising it an inch. but the 4-5' rise really does work for small dog. The XL version may have been better. But only came in white and more expensive. Been a couple weeks now and the bigger dogs are doing great. Pug, we open the slider for him. Overall well made and works well. Just a matter of getting sized right. May not work as well when you have a mix of small and large dogs.RichardJ

I bought this and installed it myself (after watching the video). Quick and easy install. Took a little coercion to get her to go through the door. She loves it now! Saves me money because now my cold air is not escaping through the open door. And best of all, no more mosquitoes and other bugs coming in my house. 🙂CindyZoey

i really like this door. no more getting up every few minutes to let the furbies out. even my lanky border collie mix can crawl through. very sturdy. would recommend.Snowcat

I ordered this Ideal Pet Door from Walmart.com to replace the same model Ideal Pet Door originally installed over 10 years ago. Walmart.com had the best price and ordering from their website is convenient with fast shipping. This Ideal Pet Door is the same model with slightly different modifications which makes it a better door than my first one. Removing the old door was very easy to do. Replacing the new door was just as easy. All I needed was a Phillips head screwdriver and my fur~kid supervising me. BTW, The original installation took an hour and was placed into a glass storm door with a solid lower panel. The Pet Door is sturdy and comes with a panel that slides into slots on the inside to block the pet door opening. It can be used when travelling or when you want to keep your pet in or out. It has a magnetic strip on the bottom part of the frame and one on the bottom of the flap which keeps the flap closed. I have never had an unwelcome guest come through the door. The Ideal Pet Door is a great value, construction is flawless and replacement parts are available. It has lasted through years of two rambunctious very bad black labs and I am replacing it by choice. It can be installed in doors, storm doors, sliding patio door inserts and in brick walls. Ideal is well know for their quality pet products and has been in business for decades. I personally wouldn't consider any other manufacturer.tami76137

Extremely easy to install.* Looks and functions better than expected in an interior door. The screws were a bit long considering the width of the door. I would suggest using shorter screws because they were hard to screw in completely, and I was using a drill to drive the screws! Overall, the door is an excellent value and I would buy another one if needed. I went with a slightly larger door than typically recommended for cats. One reason is that we are expected one cat to grow large. (We think he's a Norwegian forest cat. Before that we guessed Maine Coon.) Also, there are steps immediately on one side of the door, so I figured extra clearance would help. The smaller door would probably work OK for normal sized, fit cats. (*I traced the part that slides through the door, drilled holes where the screw posts fit through, and just cut along those lines with a jig saw. It fit right through perfectly the first time! I had a moment of minor shock when I wasn't sure if I oriented the door properly since the middle screw posts are not centered. I did, but it would have been a correctable mistake.)shuumai

I currently own 2 doggy door slider inserts from a competitor brand. I got this PetSafe insert to replace one of my inserts that is worn out, and I am so glad I did! At first glance you can see that the PetSafe is far superior to my competitor door. Upon quick exploration, I could feel that the PetSafe door was much better quality. The PetSafe door itself is more substantial and heavy duty just off the bat. I like that spring-loaded panel at the top of the door is taller (than my competitor brand) so that it can accommodate more sizes of sliders. I have multiple different heights of sliders at my house so that gives me more options of doors for me to place the insert in. This is beneficial to me when I have a party for example because I can give my dogs indoor/outdoor access to a secluded part of my house when young children are over. The second part I really like is the extra security with the locking panel to close the doggy door. Whereas my competitor version only has a plastic lock that could easily be broken into by potential intruders, the PetSafe has a very secure metal pin lock. Third, I appreciate that this insert has a slight tint to it. My competitor version does not. When I open the doggy door in the early morning in my bedroom I "hook" my curtains around my original slider handle for my dogs to access the door and I go back to sleep. The tinting on this insert is at least some attempt to block out the daylight. Finally, I like that they include some weather striping to help combat some unwanted drafts. Although I would recommend to combo the weather stripping provided with foam weather stripping to really complete the seal. Overall, I highly recommend this PetSafe doggy door insert, their attention to detail is prevalent making their door superior to competitors.MamaBear34

I'm giving it three stars because it is working but for the price, I expected a higher-quality item. In some ways this unit is too thin for my patio door track and is floppy, and in other ways – specifically the attachment brackets and the door "latch" – it is too wide. I had to come up with another way to fix the panel in place, then insert foam tape because it kept flapping when the door was used or the wind blew too hard, and then buy separate security bars for the patio door. Not ideal. And I also plan that I will need to remove it if I leave for an extended period of time, as this thing is a serious security vulnerability in the home's perimeter now…not that most adults don't already fit through an extra large pet door opening. I wish this had a full closure panel – aluminum, hinged. Maybe I should have just made something custom since I can't cut a hole in the wall of my rental house for an electronic security dog door.Julie D
