    Awesome upgrade

    I used to have one of those cheap plastic pet doors with a vinyl flap and this door is an awesome upgrade. The aluminum frame holds up a lot better and the flap is more wind resistant. The only thing is that if you have a pup who likes to chew at the flap like mine...you may need to replace the rubber pieces in between the flaps from time to time. I was able to get them from the manufacturer w/o any issues.

    Wonderful pet door

    Wonderful doggy door. Has saved a lot on heating and cooling bills. I have 5 small pups (4 of the dogs are still puppies), and 4 cats, so the door is in constant use. Love, love love it. The previous door flap stood out straight when the wind blew, this one stays in place. Yeah!!!
