Best Dog Doors of 2025

“Installing this dog door was a breeze for me! I appreciated the clear instructions, and I really love the fact that I can close and lock it when needed.”

“I have three of these doors, and they are all sturdy and relatively easy to set up. I wouldn’t trust cheaper brands because a reliable dog door is essential for security.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by how well my dog and cat learned to use this door within the first day. The weatherproofing works effectively, even in strong winds!”

"I’m not a handyman, but with the templates and directions, I managed to install a steel door in under 30 minutes. It’s perfect for my Golden Retriever to come and go, and I love the cover that keeps him inside. The fit and finish are very good, especially for the price!"

"I ordered this for a custom outdoor screen door since I couldn’t find a pre-made one large enough for my dog. The setup was incredibly easy: the templates were straightforward, and the materials feel strong and built to last. My only issue was with the weather stripping, which was a bit tricky to cut to size, but overall, it fits and functions well!"

"After several years of use with five dogs, I can say it’s still working perfectly. It does a great job of keeping the cold out and seals well after my dogs go in and out."

"I hoped this third door would work, and so far, I am happy! The one-piece design is sturdy and fits better than the previous two I tried. The flap quality is excellent, holding its shape and securely meeting the magnetic seal. Living in Minnesota, I went a bit overboard with seal tape to keep out the winter cold, and it really helps. My kitchen stays warmer with this door, especially with six dogs using it."

"This product was fantastic for my dogs! I found it easy to set up and use, and its durability and fit are great. It's perfect for renters like me!"

"I had this door installed in just 10 minutes without needing to drill any holes. The flap is secure, and despite some concerns about wind, I haven't experienced any issues. I did have to add a few pieces of cardboard to keep it straight, but now it doesn't move at all. Weather stripping worked fine for us, and the door is very easy to remove when we have guests over."

"I found the installation surprisingly easy and the outcome looks really good. The instructions were helpful, and I appreciated the wide trim that effectively covers the hole I had to cut. The sliding locking door is a nice touch, especially during cold weather. My puppy loves it! He can freely come and go, which has reduced accidents in the house. Overall, a great product!"

"At first, my cat was a bit confused about the new door I installed, but with some patience and training, she eventually figured it out. The door's telescoping feature was perfect for my wall's width, and I appreciate the thick rubbery flaps that help keep the weather out. I even love the skylight effect it creates! I’m confident she’ll get comfortable using it soon."

"As someone who has dealt with an elderly dog and two cats, I was looking for a solution that would work well with our new home and harsher weather. This doggy door claims to be energy efficient, and while installation required some special tools, I managed to get it done. My dog took to it immediately, but the cats needed more encouragement. After about a week, they reluctantly began using it, but it seems to be worth the effort!"

"I replaced my old door with this larger, stronger one and highly recommend it. The hinged multi-flap design is fantastic, though my pups needed some time to adjust to the heavier door. The instructions were a bit lacking, but I figured it out quickly. Overall, it’s a great value and much better than the triple flap vinyl doors I’ve used before."

"This was my first pet door installation, and while the directions weren't perfect, I found great how-to videos online. It fits well on my metal door, but it required some effort. Now, the flap works perfectly and doesn’t open with the door. I’m very pleased with my purchase, and it was shipped quickly!"

"I bought this pet door to prevent air leaks, and it definitely delivers. It’s sturdy and keeps the cold out, but my cat struggles to open it. It’s great for dogs, but I wouldn’t recommend it for weaker cats. I’m impressed with how well it functions for my dogs, though!"

"For the money, this door is great. It fit well and is well built."

"I run a dog boarding business and have ordered 6 of these. The magnetic door flap keeps the indoors comfortable, and the quality is good."

"We have a 100-pound Pitbull and a 10 Pomeranian, and they can use the door with ease. The instructions were clear, making installation easy, and I love the strong metal closure."

"This product has completely changed our dynamic with the dogs. They are now much more autonomous and feel freer and safer. They can be with us almost all the time, but also go outside whenever they need to. Before, we had to leave the door open, which let in wind and dust, and we had to be careful to close it as soon as possible. It was a great purchase."

"Unfortunately, I can't really understand all the positive reviews. There is a gap at the sides, which allows a lot of air to come through. Also, I couldn't find a way to store the chips that we implanted in our dogs. Lastly, I have to say that I find the quality to be really poor for the price."

"This door works well for my dog and cat. The installation was a breeze, and it effectively blocks the weather. It's impressive that it even functions at 40 below zero!"

"I bought this to replace a plastic dog door that my dogs destroyed. The installation was straightforward, and although it was larger than my previous one, it works perfectly. It feels robust, and even my 20-pound cats can pass through without any trouble. The insulation is much better, and I got it for a great price!"

"This is the third pet door I've installed. The first was too small, and the second was flimsy plastic. This one has a sturdy all-metal frame and a locking door inside. I used stainless steel screws for extra strength. The three flaps make it really efficient, and I highly recommend it!"

"I ordered a large size for my 50-pound dog, and he fits perfectly through it! It's a great option for cold climates, and while my pug struggles with the flaps, she will go through if I help. I'm hopeful my standard poodle will use it in time."

"I found the measurements very clear, allowing me to size it up easily based on the number of screws on top. After having our dog door for 12 years, this flap replacement was a breeze to install."

"With three dogs constantly using it, I must say this door holds up remarkably well. I do need to clean it regularly and replace it annually, especially in New England's harsh winters, but it still impresses me given the daily usage."

"After ordering this replacement, I was thrilled to discover it was the perfect fit. However, the installation process was a bit of a hassle due to the screws needing to be held in place. Overall, I managed to make it work and am pleased with the results."

"I had a handyman install it, and he mentioned it was well made and easy to install. It works great! No air leaks through the flaps, even during cold or windy weather. I appreciate the metal door and secure latch for nighttime safety."

"After using plastic dog doors for years, I switched to this metal one. The installation was straightforward since we already had the hole. I reinforced it well, and the thicker, heavier flaps have a stronger magnetic closure. I feel hopeful that I won't be replacing them every year!"

"This dog door is solid and well-made. I love the three flaps that help keep out moisture and temperature fluctuations. The latch design is convenient, allowing me to secure it easily. I highly recommend this door for anyone seeking quality!"
