Choosing a Pet Door Size

 

Petway Pet Doors are available in 2 sizes:

• Small - Flap Opening Dimensions 240mm (9½") high x 190mm (7½") wide
  • Suitable for all size cats and small to medium size dogs.
• Large - Flap Opening Dimensions 400mm (15¾") high x 260mm (10¼") wide
  • Suitable for medium to large dogs.

We suggest the best way to see which size Petway Pet Door is suitable for your pet is to cut the dimensions of the flap opening out of a piece of cardboard and see which size your pet is most comfortable going through. Please remember Petway Pet Doors are used for convenience whilst you are at home.
