Dog Flaps

[mark206000]

Hi all,

I'm going to get a doggie door and was wondering what size do yous have ?

I was looking at a medium petmate or staywell, are these big enough ?

Also any preference between staywell or petmates ?

Thanks !

Hi,
I don't have a doggy flap, but I do have a couple of staywell cat flaps on the side of my avairy for the rabbits and ducks and all my dogs have been able to squeeze through these for rabbit food so I would difinately say medium would be ideal for a cocker.

Hi, I've tried both, they are 'much of a muchness' unfortunateley Loki broke the first dog 'flap' completley off when he came speeding up the garden at full steam, my second one Wispa 'ate' because she didn't like waiting outside while I was having a carpet fitted!! I've now stuck a bit of wood over the remaining bit of plastic and that seems to be working for now!!
The size I have is the 'giant' because my mums German Shepard & collie come over alot, so what size you get should depends on what size their friends are!!
P.s I would be without one as mine are always outside and I got fed up always opening the door for them

Please just make sure that you can lock it, for when you go out, so the dog can't go in the back garden, and run the risk of being stolen.  Even though I have a very high fenced and secure garden, I chose not to get one.

hi
we have a staywell medium one which is the size it states on it for cocker spaniels.
Issey is 9 months old and has used it from 9 weeks of age.
We only have it open when we are in the house, so she only has run of garden whilst we are in, but I can reccommend it.

love

I agree; there is so much dog theft these days I would be very worried about leaving the dogs unattended in the garden!! ::

Hehe ,Our Dylan has broke 2 doors by charging up the path,He's a working cocker so i don't if that makes him more errrr lively?

Thanks for replies everyone  

We've got a big garage with a bit cordoned off for him to run about in when we're busy.   Doggie flap will lead out into a fenced off bit of garden up the side of the garage where no one can really see into.

Hopefully be safe in there  ::

He's not even arrived yet, 4 weeks to go
