Petsafe Large Dog Door For Sale (2024 Update)

We were having a hard time trying to teach our 4 month old puppy to bark to let us know when it was bathroom time. We felt a doggy door was the next option. We did not have a door that directly addressed our back yard. The only option was a wall doggy door. I was kind of reluctant to cut a hole in a wall. It was either a hole in the wall or get rid of the dog. Long story short is the installation was breeze and in one day our puppy was house broken. She loves her puppy door and we are very glad we made this purchase. The door is mostly plastic but is very sturdy for our 10 pound dog. I would recommend this doggy door.Ty S

This is a great door! My Frenchie figured it out, but she is a little hesitant because the magnets are so strong she doesn’t think they’ll open. She just has to put her bull head against it and she can get in and out very easily. My builder put it in and was pretty impressed with the whole thing. It was a fairly inexpensive solution to a tough problem when one has a dog but doesn’t want to ruin their house. This is replacing another great item that was a door filler for a sliding door but I got tired of walking sideways through, constantly hitting it, and jaring it out of place. Highly recommend the permanent one one. This is a great door!Hope

We love this dog door for our German Shepard and yellow lab-loved it actually- until a visiting Great Pyrenees went through it and came out the other side wearing it, frame and all. So basically it was a great door for three years until it met its match. We’ve just replaced it with this new door and it went in easily as we had the hole already cut and had installed it once before. I totally do recommend this door.Marcy K-C

I recently added a little screened in outdoor room for my cats and dogs to use for a little outdoor time. This pet door works perfectly. The dogs and the cats have no problems using it. It’s big enough for the dogs and easy enough for the cats to use too. I especially like the added inner flap that helps keep the hot outdoor air out. The slide in insert is great too because I like to close it at night to keep anything from possibly getting in the house. This is not the first time I’ve used a Petsafe door and it won’t be the last.

Awesome quality product! Bought 6 for our kennel and are great! Lil pricey but you get what you pay for. Bonus that you can buy replacement flaps if needed.davem88

We got this to install at my grandma’s house. She uses a walker and often has trouble getting up as frequently and quickly as the dog needs to go outside. this is perfect because it alleviates the problem for both of them. This is not a job for one person to install – assistance may be needed to line it up and some kind of sealant might be needed if the cut isn’t perfect. But overall, I recommend! Also, I sized up to large because I couldn’t picture the opening size being enough with the medium, but probably could have gone with a smaller size since the dog has more than enough room.BRMomma

Easy enough to install, but their use of nylon bolts is a downside. I understand it is so you can cut the excess away. But it probably wouldn't have cost any more (possibly a tiny bit more) to engineer the door to use metal hardware so it wouldn't strip as easily. The other issue I have is the "security" snap on door. Because it's snap on and not slid in or lockable, both my dogs have been able to push it off from the outside in. And the door is XL so it's big enough for a person to crawl through, so there is absolutely no security from a person entering standpoint. Other than that, the door works perfectly well for letting the dogs in and out independently, and keeping the heat/cool outside.Chefblue

This was dribbling enough water into my utility room during storms that I had to disassemble it to figure out where it was leaking. I couldn't find exactly where it was letting water in, so once I got it reassembled, I caulked the heck out of it and it seems to be okay for now. Taking it apart and reinstalling it was a major hassle. Most of the nylon screws either broke or wouldn't fit all the way back through, after numerous attempts. Seems to be poorly engineered. And the door where it was leaking isn't even facing in the usual direction of the wind/rain, so I don't know why it leaked so badly.TS777

I have looked everywhere for a big doggie door, I have a huge 110 lb German Shepherd and he was hitting his foot on the bottom of the old door I had in. It got infected and he had to have surgery. Long story short I found this big door and my dogs happy so that makes me happy. Plus I found other doors but you had to pay extra for the part that you put on to keep them in or when you're gone.Granny 3

This is my second purchase of this door for my cat. Overall, a decent product. First one, the cover was rather loose, but worked. The second one, the cover was too tight, could NOT get it off, not even by prying all around the flap area and edges. Finally, in frustration, I called Petsafe to see if I'd done something wrong. Was told there have been some complaints, that I could try cutting it off and they are sending me a new cover. Hung up and looking at it thought hm, could pushing on the middle while lifting on the flaps help. Guess what….it snapped right off.Dodi78years

I bought a petsafe pet door fourteen years ago. I live where it gets to a hundred and ten or more in the summer. After seven years the plastic flap warped and so I bought a replacement flap. It has been another seven years and again the flap is warped but they no longer make the replacement flap for the xlarge classic door. I found this at newer version at petco for seventy four bucks and bought a discount gift card so I was able to just replace the whole dog door for sixty two dollars. I figure its good enough and will outlast my dog.cami62

I've only had this particular door a short while. I would recommend replacing the plastic bolts with metal. After a while plastic does not hold up to active dogs. So far so good.Grace 2022

Great product ! It fit perfectly into our existing-pet door. Consider a design change: add small washers to the screws to strengthen how the plastic is held in place. Our dogs push through the door stressing the far right and left holes the most, making the plastic pull off of the screw heads. We added these ourselves.Blue

As our much loved Great Dane portal was showing some signs of wear, I began to look for a brand name (we installed it two years ago and I forgot), printed directly on the flap was information labeled, "Replacement item #" and the website. If every company would do this, our lives would be much simpler. It was easy, quick, and the re-install was a piece of cake. Thank you!!!!JD Nelson

I called the company to complain about the fit the replacement had a 1/4in gap at least and they admitted there was a small gap from the original door and the replacement for our door frame. The frame is not that old either and in Florida that gap is enough for waste of air conditioning and to allow mosquitoes in which is a very bad problem. I will seek to return this replacement flap you would do better to make one yourself research on utube. We are seeking to replace the entire door and frame to a different brand that may have replacement doors available for years to come. Petsafe was not helpful at all and offered a discount on an entire new dog door to replace the original entire door and frame I was shocked — and a supervisor never called me back. I told them if they didn't support this product why would I invest in another product of theirs. I would not buy from the company again. The original quality was good. They did not offer the ability to buy the better quality original to replace and that was a huge disappointment.Sad in Orlando

After reading all of the reviews, the VERY common problem is the hinge. This is going to be my 3rd or 4th door and second to purchase (the sizable hole is hard to find a replacement for), most EVERYONE has had the exact same broken and weak point of the hinge. Some of these comments are from long enough ago, you would think that the company would look at the common problems and try and fix the issue. But they seemingly have yet to make an attempt to fix the common and perpetual problem of the hinge!!! GUYS COME ON!!!!!!!! Not adding a photo, there are plenty of them on here already.Isaac09

I've had this door for a year now, and after a year of modifying, and remodifying, I give. Simply not a great door for strong dogs. Our doberman broke the door out initially, it was put back in place. The 2nd time he broke it out some of the plastic fasteners broke off. My SO ended up modifying the door with an aluminum strip and all new hardware. It's been broken off several times even with the new modifications. The key backs fall off and we didn't end up using them anyways to begin with. The frame is solid, we got the wall kit which is flimsy and had to seal ourselves but nonetheless it's installed. I'd love to order another model that will fit the already permanent opening. As of current, our heat's turned off until we figure out what to do to fix the door. It's not strong enough for large dogs, they bust it right out!Bunnyfromdahood

Purchased the door about a month ago. We have 4 dogs ranging in size from 6.5 lb to 60 lb. All of them use the door even the little guy. The big dog did not need any training at all he instinctively new when it went click he could go! I was concerned about the reviews but it seemed to me that these were all very large dogs by height and the photos of the installs seemed low to me. I would recommend the product. No more getting up two or three times a night. YAAA I installed it myself, granted I am more of a handyman than most, but I am also over the 65 mark +. So I would expect the young bucks to do it even faster. But you do need to have a supply of the D cells. Batteries are not what they used to be and you only get about a month or a little less use. I am concerned about how long the tag battery will last, time will tell. Great Productricky5437

Excellent opening size for our pet who is 18 lbs. I purchased the Medium opening. Our sliding door is a custom height of 12 FT, not a normal height, so using the extension included with the patio panel still doesn’t reach the top of the sliding door, which of course is not the problem of the manufacturer of this product. We remedied the problem by using and cutting to size a disposable hard foam cooler, fitted with a foam edge window and door sealer in order to eliminate cool and hot air from coming in and out. It’s not perfect, but works for our pet and for our use.Grace

The door is well made and easy to install. we bought the large bronze. Only problem we have is that we have 3 dogs and one is a pug, other two are big 80lb even though rated for 100lb dogs and I measured them, for out dogs was a little short., I fixed by adding a small block under raising it an inch. but the 4-5' rise really does work for small dog. The XL version may have been better. But only came in white and more expensive. Been a couple weeks now and the bigger dogs are doing great. Pug, we open the slider for him. Overall well made and works well. Just a matter of getting sized right. May not work as well when you have a mix of small and large dogs.RichardJ

I bought this and installed it myself (after watching the video). Quick and easy install. Took a little coercion to get her to go through the door. She loves it now! Saves me money because now my cold air is not escaping through the open door. And best of all, no more mosquitoes and other bugs coming in my house. 🙂CindyZoey

Solid aluminum frame. Nice weather flaps. Nylon screws would be better as metal but allow more flexibility in installing. My biggest disappointment in this door is that the slide closing door panel did not keep my dog from sliding it off and having full access to the outside in the middle of the night. It doesn’t latch so he just pushes it up and walks out whenever he wants. This completely defeats the purpose of this purchase and now I have a hole in my door for my dog and all his friends to come and go.Disappointed customer 615

We purchased this for our large rough collie. It was simple to install in our steel door between our garage door and entry. He learned to use it almost immediately. It has a metal panel that will slide in from the top of the frame to lock the door. The flap itself is tinted, and we would have preferred a clear one (like a previous dog door we have installed from the garage out to the yard). Our 12 year old dog has poor eyesight, and probably would be a bit happier if he could see the light through the door. It is a great dog door, and allows our senior to come and go as he pleases. No potty accidents since we installed it 4 months ago.TJ HIll

So far it closes completely and quickly, helping to keep out mosquitoes and bugs. They can go into the yard again without me needing to open the door to their space from the screen room. I bought up one size and I'm glad I did. It is safer for them if they're going out quickly and they don't hit their bodies on the frame. I also applied a Cricut sticker I made to the locking door so that they can easily see if I have them locked in. That really helped them to understand when the door was locked and if they were running to go outside they didn't hit the door thinking it was open.Agility Border Collies

Had one of these for about ten years and bought a new one. One of our dogs damaged the old one by trying to run in when the panel was inserted to keep him out while a worker was in the house. This broke two of the screws away from the plastic frame. Even though it says aluminum pet door, the only aluminum part is the white door frame. The brown frame around it is plastic as is the wall tunnel. Since we now needed to replace the flaps, it costs just as much to get a whole new one as it did to replace the flaps. Now for the new one – Had it installed for less than a month and spring loaded knob on insert panel is broken (called for free replacement under one year warranty). Door panel flap lengths are adjustable, but don't seem as thick (and durable) as old ones. If this hadn't been a replacement project of an existing one, not sure if I would have decided to install this one or look at other options.AZTom

I am on my 3rd PetSafe door. I started with a smart door but I got tired of constantly changing batteries. I have 4 dogs. I got the double flap door. After about 1.5 years the plastic piece that holds the flaps started to break (little pieces at a time). There is no replacement part for this so I had to purchase a new door. PetSafe did give me a reduced price. Now, I have gorilla tape holding my one remaining flap on this door,since the same part is breaking once again. This part is cheaply made and I feel like you should at least offer a replacement part. Now, I'm facing buying another door…again.Crazydogmom

This is a great dog door for a medium size dog. It is a deluxe unit with dual flaps for maximum weather protection. It also has a slide-in closing door with a secure lock. It looks stylish and it fits (one of our main concerns) through the section of the house that has brick. We had a professional install the unit, unfortunately, it was a little higher on the outside than the dog would have liked (see picture above) which hindered her from going back into the door. I solved this problem by ordering something called the Ten-Eighty Mini Launch Ramp for about $30. It is designed for skate boards and bicycles but it will also work in this application. I needed a little modification to sit flush with the wall and I had it carpeted so the dog wouldn't slip in cold weather. Now the dog goes in and out of the door effortlessly. I hope that this idea helps others in consideration of this great dog door.norman3670

I like it, the dog isn't sure if she li,especially it but I think it'll work out. It fit on the screen slider really well. It doesn't lock but that's okay for us.Linda

Easy to put on if you follow directions. Pet door locks aren't long enough, cats push right through. Main reason I bought another door. Little disappointed but still used.Pollyanna

I would've given 5 stars but the product was not nearly as big as some of the pics appeared to be. Yes i did check measurements. But the one i got would never fit a dog the size of the one in the pic. I've got a 1 yr old pitbull mix who's about the same size… or soon will be. Lol. I still like the door itself tho.Momma Rivera

It's hard not to wonder if Johnson went out of business because they built their product too well. I've had a Johnson Pet Dor for ages & have been amazed at its longevity. This one was purchased to provide a replacement for a door flap (the alternatives on offer are on the evidence poor substitutes) that wore out after 3 decades.wpicou

The Xtra large pet door was really easy to install, the installation book and all of the necessary hardware mad for a really nice dog door. Everything fit as it was supposed to without any problems. It really looks nice and blends in with door.wallman52

No big problems installing as I am a simipro. He has learned to use it OK and seems to like the new freedom. Well made and should last fine. Now, hope a bear cub doesn't come in!Old X Tech

it is a good dog door second one we have had however it is not winter cold weather insulated so we are waiting to return itMargaret

Received early box was damaged but door was not. It is hard to find metal doors. I hate plastic. Plastic is cheap and will not last long. Thank you.joseauge

I purchased this door at least 5 years ago and every year we’re replacing the plastic adapter that attaches to the hinges that hold/support the flaps. We’ve had to order the whole door replacement kit to fix this problem and now once again, we have to order a whole kit for these My pictures show the extra parts collection needed to replace the 4 plastic adapters and the adapters after they break and crack from dogs using the door on a daily basis.Edman

Most important part of the doors is the flap hinge mechanism and it's made of cheap plastic which fails after the warranty period expires. For the cost of these doors, they should be better built.Dan S

I currently own 2 doggy door slider inserts from a competitor brand. I got this PetSafe insert to replace one of my inserts that is worn out, and I am so glad I did! At first glance you can see that the PetSafe is far superior to my competitor door. Upon quick exploration, I could feel that the PetSafe door was much better quality. The PetSafe door itself is more substantial and heavy duty just off the bat. I like that spring-loaded panel at the top of the door is taller (than my competitor brand) so that it can accommodate more sizes of sliders. I have multiple different heights of sliders at my house so that gives me more options of doors for me to place the insert in. This is beneficial to me when I have a party for example because I can give my dogs indoor/outdoor access to a secluded part of my house when young children are over. The second part I really like is the extra security with the locking panel to close the doggy door. Whereas my competitor version only has a plastic lock that could easily be broken into by potential intruders, the PetSafe has a very secure metal pin lock. Third, I appreciate that this insert has a slight tint to it. My competitor version does not. When I open the doggy door in the early morning in my bedroom I "hook" my curtains around my original slider handle for my dogs to access the door and I go back to sleep. The tinting on this insert is at least some attempt to block out the daylight. Finally, I like that they include some weather striping to help combat some unwanted drafts. Although I would recommend to combo the weather stripping provided with foam weather stripping to really complete the seal. Overall, I highly recommend this PetSafe doggy door insert, their attention to detail is prevalent making their door superior to competitors.MamaBear34

I'm giving it three stars because it is working but for the price, I expected a higher-quality item. In some ways this unit is too thin for my patio door track and is floppy, and in other ways – specifically the attachment brackets and the door "latch" – it is too wide. I had to come up with another way to fix the panel in place, then insert foam tape because it kept flapping when the door was used or the wind blew too hard, and then buy separate security bars for the patio door. Not ideal. And I also plan that I will need to remove it if I leave for an extended period of time, as this thing is a serious security vulnerability in the home's perimeter now…not that most adults don't already fit through an extra large pet door opening. I wish this had a full closure panel – aluminum, hinged. Maybe I should have just made something custom since I can't cut a hole in the wall of my rental house for an electronic security dog door.Julie D

We had previously bought and installed a medium sized through-wall door from Petco, and our Pugs loved it; but now we have a 4 month old Bull Mastiff puppy who is already 40lbs., and was almost struggling to get in and out of the medium sized door. The answer was simple: upgrade to a LARGE size door, and now our fuzzy kids go flying through it without even slowing down…even the Bull Mastiff. It's hilarious!! We expect her to grow to around 125Lbs. and 24" tall at the shoulders, and we aren't sure what we'll do at THAT point, but we have a year or so to think about it. 🙂 I would very highly recommend this PetSafe pet door, and Petco had the best price.Burner01

It's ok, I needed it that exact day….if I would have waited I could have had another brand in 6 days which would have been a little more sturdy. The locking door is pretty flimsy and could be kicked in very easily. Plastic is not the way to go. I dropped the door just a little above the floor and the corner broke off the door.Caroadstar

Live in Ohio colder climate and door doesn't flap back into place after our dog goes in and out. The magnet doesn't see strong enough to hold after entry or leaving if there are winding conditions. Great idea but if its windy the door flap will just keep blowing open as its to light to shut during windy conditions, so this leave cold air blowing in for hours if you are at work or sleeping causing higher heating bills. Love the idea but just wont hold in a windy cold environment. The door will have tons of condensation causing water to drip on the indoor floor in the winter months.Alboy

As other reviewers have stated, you will need to fully attach/install this to the door frame for any security. I'm currently using it only for summer, so I take it in/out as needed. When it is in, there is no way to lock or secure your door (unless you do a full install). My pup is a trim 67 lbs and it's a tight fit for her but she has quickly learned that squeezing through means freedom in the backyard! Might be difficult for a chunky/larger dog. Despite the shortcomings, it is perfect as a temporary solution. I do not think it would be a good solution for extreme climates even as a permanent install because it is not a tight fit even with included the weather stripping .ElvisNBama

I bought the petdoor that fits into our sliding glass door. It does not close after my dogs come inside. The magnets don't seem strong enough. The reason why I purchased this new one was because our previous one did the same thing… now this one just does it worse. There is about 1+ inch gap of cold air that breezes directly into our house. Photos attached! DO NOT BUYSierraSch

Using this in the sliding screen door that goes out to our screened porch. Kitty loves it! The install was a little tricky only because of the fact that it was a door we installed it on and not an easily removable one. I doubt the longevity a little bit, because it seems like I may need to add a little tape to seal it better or something. I’m nervous that with one strong push from the kids or dogs that the entire screen with tear. Overall, though, I think it’s a nice option!!boflay1022

My senior Calicos are sky walkers. They love bird watching on our 2nd floor laundry room roof from there they walk along the privacy fence onto a shed then jump down to bask in the sun in the fenced in garden below. I LOVE their independence! Now with bug weather fast approaching it was time to think of doggie/cat doors. What a bargain these are sturdy they look good and are NOT cheap plastic. I have one upstairs on my window screen and one downstairs on the patio door screen. My girls and a Jack Russell Terrier can come and go as they please. Life is good with this product…:) peacelushlife007
