Why it matters
The medium door has an 8 1/8 x 12 1/4 in flap for pets up to 40 lb. A snap-on cover closes it, and the kit includes interior and exterior frames, a cutting template, nylon screws and core covers.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Medium dogs
- Mild climates
- Budget installs
Look elsewhere if
- Owners wanting selective entry (any animal can use it)
- Renters who can't cut doors
- Metal or glass doors (check compatibility)
Pros and cons
Pros
- Low price
- Complete kit
- Known brand
Cons
- Single flap
- Plastic frame
- Draft in cold
Limitations to weigh
- Measure your dog's shoulder height and widest point; the flap top should sit at least an inch or two above the shoulder, and the step-over should be low enough for seniors and short legs.
- Any flap big enough for your dog can let in wildlife, other animals and, rarely, people; lock the closing panel at night and when you are away.
- Door and wall installs mean cutting; check for wiring and studs in walls, metal or glass in doors, and rental rules before you start.
