MaxSeal Pet Door
By donnabc on
When we got our dog, I was thinking we would just let her outside when we got home.She did not like that idea though:0)So, after crate training her, we decided to put in a doggy door for her so that she could go in and out at her leisure.
Now, nothing in life can be easy.Our back door has glass panels almost to the floor so we could not put a regular doggy door in.I surfed the web for days, determined to find a solution.After looking at too many sites to count and enough doggy doors to consider myself an expert, I found it...the perfect doggy door!
MaxSeal comes in many sizes and colors.However, if you are picky, like me, you can even custom order your door to be the exact height and width you want!How great is that?It also comes with one or two flaps.We got two thinking the more the better, right?Well, the inside flap just stays folded up because even after 2 years she refuses to go through double doggy flaps.And let me tell you, one flap is perfectly fine at keeping the cold and heat out so save yourself a little money and just get one flap.
You also can get the door to open up or to the side.Another wonderful feature is that it comes with a panel to lock in place for when you are gone on vacation.This too has options:0)You can choose to have it slide in from either side or from the top.
Now while all the above is great, the feature that sold ME on this door was the ease at instillation:0)It is rated the easiest on several websites.And truely, it was really not hard.It just took and hour or so.The part that goes through the wall is one piece and then the frame inside and out attaches.It even comes with a piece of carpeting to put inside so the dog doesn't track in as much dirt.
This sounds awesome. I relly need to get one of these for our cat. He drives me insane with all his coming and going and scratching on the glass doors when he wants in in the middle of the night. Thanks for the tip.
My dog and three cats all need one of these doors as I am so tired of letting them in and out of the house. I will have to wait til the summer when we buy our own home as we now live in government quarters and that would not be allowed. That was super being able to order it in various colors as well as customized sizes. The rug was a nice added bonus! I was surprised to hear that it was so easy to install! This will be on my to buy list for my home! You provided excellent details about the doggy and cat door! Nice job !
Thanks for all the information on this product. Installation is always the main problem, and I am glad it was easy for you to install. The installation feature alone is worth buying the product. This is always the biggest headache.
My mom says that the doggie door is one of the greatest inventions and she wishes had gotten one a long time ago. This one sounds like a nice one - especially the custom ordering and ease of installation.
I want a dog! Then, I could get one of these cute little doggy doors. It sounds like it's perfect for your pet. I like the easy to install part! Thanks for the information!
Was wondering how these worked. Sounds like the perfect solution. Thanks for all great detail and research, now I just need to go to that site :}!
This sounds like a great doggy door, good to know about the double flap not being necessary.
This doggy door sounds great! I wish we had the set up for this as my dog really loved the doggy door at the kennel he vacationed in. We would have to have solid fencing all around in order to do this though or I would be afraid that something would come in... even with a solid fence the squirrels around here are nuts!
Sounds like a great door and a must have with an indoor dog!
Sounds like it comes with quite a variety of options.
