PetSafe Extreme Weather Pet Door, Medium

Fantastic dog door. Easy enough to install, with a little basic DIY skill and the right tools (I fitted mine with the door still hanging, took around an hour). The triple flap is really efficient at keeping the wind and cold out. Our old flap would swing around in windy conditions, which would be noisy as well as cold. This one doesn't do that at all, even in the worst winter conditions. It's also very good at keeping the cold out and doesn't suffer from condensation, which is something we experienced with other flaps. One thing to be mindful of is that your pet will not be able to see through this flap as it's not transparent, and will need to use a bit more force to get through the door. We found this to actually be a good thing as it has forced our dog to take her time when going through, rather than sprinting through full speed! It may, though, mean it takes a little longer to train your pet to use the door.

Fed up of opening the door for our cats and making sure they are in when we go out, I decided I would get a cat flap. We live in a cold windy part of the country so I went for this expensive "weatherproof" one. I can't say much for how weatherproof it is as I fitted it today on a quiet autumn afternoon. It was simple to fit with the right tools. It took around an hour including sealing it with sealant. It fits well and the flaps sit true In the hole, they are adjustable but didn't need Adjusting for my door. It would be sensible to tighten the screws gently and make sure they aren't too tight, or you end up pulling the frame out of shape, which will mean the flaps don't fit properly. One of my cats has taken to it easily, baring in mind he's never seen a cat flap before. The other one is an idiot but will get it eventually. I suggest sealing it well on both sides with an adhesive sealant rather than bathroom silicone. Also consider making sure that your door keys are kept away from the door for security. I have the small but it would be possible to stick an arm thru the flap and steal door keys. I'll update the review with how weatherproof once we have some bad weather! So far I'd recommend this flap it seems to be of good quality and I can see how it would help the keep the cold and draft out, in comparison to a standard single flap. EXTREME WEATHER UPDATE: This cat flap is not extreme weather proof! We are in the middle of a small storm with 30-40mph gusts of wind. The flap is opening by itself and it is very breezy in my kitchen! Probably still better than a regular single door flap but it's not as great as the packaging would make you believe.

Easy to install, very quiet compared to our last dog flap. On a very windy day (I live on top of a hill and get strong winds) it does tend to slightly open but not as bad as our last one where we didn’t have the middle flap. Easy to keep clean.

Superb design. This was fitted into my south-facing upvc porch door (into a pvc panel - not in the glazing). My Lhasa apso dog learnt how to work the flap within days. I did as other reviewers suggested and taped up the flaps so she learnt to hop in and out through the hole, then the next day just left the central insulated flap down. The third day I dropped one of the magnetic flaps. And the fourth day she could easily push through the full door. She has lots of dog friends who visit. I was amused to see her best mate, a Border Collie/ Labrador cross, easily use the flap too (with zero training just following my dog). We’ve recently had a very strong storm with 80 mph winds. The flap has not flapped about under any weather. It has not let rain in. It does let a small draught through - but I don’t mind that at all. Really great purchase.

Nice and quiet with the dog/cat running through it. Seems very robus, however, a slight windy day and the flap is blowing in leaving large hole in my house and usually a puddle of water on the floor if its raining

All of my dogs have had a pet door going back 25 years+ and this is the best one we've ever had. We put it in a wall, and it is absolutely draft proof. I've had other PetSafe doors and it's good quality material, but this is the best design they make if you live someplace where the weather gets cold. The dogs took a few days to get used to going through the 3 flaps, but now they happily scamper in and out. I ordered the wrong size but they swapped it for medium with no quibbles and sent the replacement right away. Definitely worth the price, and all toll a smooth purchase.

Install: The install was easy, once I had made a modification because my door was only 2.5cm thick (the product suggests: most doors 4.1 \- 5.7cm thick). The issue for me was the that plastic header for the middle flap is rather thick and hits the header for the outer door flap. My hack-fix was to unscrew the middle flap and saw that header down by what I needed (for me it was about 6mm) with a hack saw. I just eyeballed the cut - was not 100% straight, but when I re-attached the middle flap I had just enough space to assemble the two frames onto my door...... just. After cutting the screw holes are still visible to screw back in the middle flap and are deep enough to do so :) .. well, it did say in the manual, under things you will need: "competent DIY skills" :o -or in my case incompetent! Weatherproof - v-strong winds can open the flap, but then that is what the "storm shield" panel is for - so no issue there really. Warmth - pretty good, better then other flaps I have used. My only slight issue here is that all three flaps leave a slight gap around the sides. It looks like they spent a lot of time perfecting the bottom seal and forgot this. A bit of foam or brushes would maybe solve this. Looks great!

We got this all weather £59 flap, 2 weeks after we started toilet training our 4month old pup to toilet outside. Our cocker spaniel pup took to the flap straightaway. He loves the freedom it gives him...he can go in and out all day (and night) without having to sit by the door waiting to be let in n out. We put his food bowl outside to encourage him to keep checking incase there was a surprise treat and while he was out there, he toiletted. We also gave him treats when he used the flap during the first few days. No more 5.30am wake up calls to let him out so he can toilet. We can have a lay-in n he goes out n toilets then goes back to bed. We chose to instal our flap in the dining room wall as we have 2 sets of french doors and didnt fancy the cost of replacing them! A builder used an angle grinder to cut out a home in the double skin wall, lined it with wood, to create a tunnel, then screwed both the inside n outside flaps directly onto the wood. It took him 3hrs to do (including the clean up) and cost me 100 pounds labour. I gave the review a 5star for easy to instal because a good 'diy'er could easily do it themselves if they can hire an angle grinder. Theres absolutely no draft coming through the flap. The flap magnets are doing their job and we are all loving the big difference its made to all our lives...including the pup's. I have attached a short video n photo.

For the money an inferior product. The doors do not close completely on both sides after the cat has gone through. Your have to always give it a push after, otherwise there is draft and the whole point of having a double door is missed. The effect of the insulation layer in between the 2 flaps is very questionable as there is a big gap between his and the inside panels of the ‘tunnel’ in the door. There is a big mistake in the installation manual. If you follow the instructions you end up with an opening which is 0.5 cm too narrow horizontally. This created a lot of extra work. Totally unneccesary. That is -3 stars, leaving 2 stars. The looks could be better too, you see screws everywhere. I picked the Medium size because the small size looked as made for a rat to go through. This size is actually a bit too big for a cat and more for a small dog. As our cat is a little older already I did not wanted to offer a cumbersome small door. Not a recommendable product, but among the other even more inferior products maybe the best you can get. I do not understand why in 2025 it is still not possible to buy a decent sturdy good looking cat door that lasts many years and works good in every possible way.

Perfetta! L'ho posizionata sul muro esterno, non fa passare il freddo. I mici hanno comunque bisogno di in po di tempo per abituarsi alla novità. Adesso è un via vai...😁 Soddisfatto

Facile à installer. Mon chat l’a adopté immédiatement. Le chat curieux de mon voisin aussi… Pensez à la verrouiller lors des tempêtes, les vents violents de Goretti ouvre la chatière

Super, étanche et le froid ne passe pas du tout

De aluminium versie is een stuk beter deze is van plastic. Lastig monteren en heb aanpassingen moeten maken.
