    Unfortunately, you can’t believe the picture on the staywell box. Border Collies and English Springer Spaniels do not easily fit through the door flap …unless they are on the very small & skinny side. Picture a contortionist going through a small opening because that’s exactly how a 35lb dog will look going through the door flap – they fit but only just and with some work to get through. If the dog weighs any more than that, good luck making them squeeze through the narrow opening.

    The flap is made out of plastic and has a cheap plastic “rod” system that supposedly holds the door flap in place. Two days later and the plastic is broken. Definitely not worth your money. We tried the larger, too, and had the same issue …big enough for our dog, but broke within a short-time after installation.

    If you try to install this piece of junk, all you will end up with is an ugly hole in your door, hours wasted, and your extreme anger. It is simply impossible to cut a hole to the exact tolerances required to make this work properly. It doesn’t even come with the proper screws to hold it in place properly. I bought one smaller one for my cat and this one for my dog. I have high-quality wood working equipment and I still couldn’t make it work properly. This company is a bunch of swindlers – any one who tried to install this would immediately realize it is an unworkable design.

    I have three different size dogs, 15, 34, and 65 lbs. I have the large size Original Staywell Pet door mounted in a wooden storm door to my attached garage. During warm weather, the dogs can come and go as they please. They all manage just fine with the size of the door. The door has been installed for several years, with only one problem. One winter, I got lazy and tried to close the door with my foot when the door was blocked by some snow. In the cold, the plastic cracked in the corner. I fixed this by adding a backing plate, and the door is still working just fine. I have the grey/opaque plastic door. Maybe the clear/white is not as robust, but mine has been working well for years. I’m very satisfied.

    I board dogs in my home and my old Staywell pet door got chewed by a zealous Labrador, so I had to replace it. This newer version fits precisely in the the hole made by the older version, and it looks spiffier with a see-thru panel, but the pastic has been upgraded to something harder and more brittle, and the magnets are stronger. As an odd result, my two tabby cats and small Pomeranian dog were actually afraid of it for a few weeks because the ‘flapflap’ sound was much louder than before, and it takes more pressure for them to push their heads against it to open. I hadn’t expected that I’d have to retrain them! The cats caught on quicker than the dog. In general, this is a very reliable product and the magnets work well to keep out drafts. I had my former Staywell door for more than 12 years before it got chewed, so I can recommend this company with no reservation.

    I just ordered my fourth Staywell door. I’ve been using this model for more than twenty years. The original model had a flexible rubberized plastic door which you couldn’t see through, but it was much more durable. The see through rigid flap is nice, but I need to buy a new one every three years because of my 85 pound pit/boxer mix and his inability to come into the house at less than full speed. But I can’t blame the product and the dog is not going to change, so I just buy a new one when the warranty expires. I’ve always been impressed with Staywell’s warranty and they’ve always replaced anything that broke under the initial warranty period.
