We have a tiny4LB Chihuahua who squeeze's between the bars of gates where the gate swings back. What is the largest opening anywhere between the bars?

Largest opening is a hair over 3 1/4". It's where the extensions are, towards the edges. Where the gate is has real little openings.

I don't use the small door but it looks like you could take it off, can't say for sure. You could easily use something to tie it to the rest of the gate to keep it open as long as it's something other pets (if you have any) can't chew If you try to take it off it might break the other part of the gate but it's worth a try. Good luck!

They recommend that the bottom of the opening is at least 1 inch below your shortest dog's belly and the top 1 inch above your tallest dogs back. I have a medium (australian cattle/pitt) and a large dog (lab) and the large door works just fine (barely met the recommended height range). If one of your dogs is really small you will have to install it low so that they can manage to get out. I guess the lab may possibly be able to use it with low install (by ducking down maybe) but it would probably not be comfortable. You may need a different door with a larger total opening.

The openings aren't quite 2.25 inches wide. Don't think anything will get through unless you've got a tea cup chihuahua.

There is a doggie door for a small dog to fit through (under 20 pounds) and there is also a latch where the gate disconnects so you can fold it up and that you can walk through.

No. In fact I wish u could because there's a metal brace around the front part to help hold it open that makes the top part a little heavy. My bed's opening isn't very wide at all and the heaviness of the bar scares my dog when it lays on him. Maybe if your dog is bigger than a chihuahua it won't be an issue but mine (a chihuahua and bulldog) both refuse to go near it. If I could take off the top I might could at least use it as a pillow bed for them.

We have it mounted in a 30 inch doorway. The bars themselves are 2 inches apart. The ends where you adjust for your doorway width is 3 inches between the last bar and the doorframe. It will depend on your doorway size how much room you will have on the ends. We have a small dog and a large cat that can't go between the bars. I do have a slender siamese that walks right thru the ends with ease so it will depend on your dogs widths. We really like this and my order more for other doorways. Love the heigth of this as I am a only 5'. Hope this helps. :)

what I would recommend is to measure the dog from shoulder to shoulder and you would get a better idea as for the chihuahua it's going to be difficult since it's such a big size difference and keep in mind that there is a 3-4 inch step over.

I think that a medium or large dog could jump this gate, since it is only 18" tall. This gives it the 'walk-over " feature. Our dog is a 13-pound Bichon and it works well for him. But for a larger dog , you would probably do better with an open and close gate. It is easy to install, however. You just put the four large plastic knobs into pre-drilled holes on the sides and turn them until the desired fit us achieved. This gate is well made so if you can find an open and shut gate in the same brand, I would get that. Hope that helps.

Just under 3 inches. My 3 lb chihuahua can get past it but my 5 lb chihuahua cannot.

A small child cannot squeeze between the bars. I purchased it because I have 3 Chihuahua's. The only 1 that could squeeze is was my Teacup Chihuahua.

The lighter colored (and weight) bars on the end slide if the rubber gaskets are stripped and several of mine were. I transport dogs for Weimaraner Rescue, puppies and 100+ pounds. I don't care what kind of gate you get, a determined dog can get through, around over or past it. If it is your dog, you just teach it to stay. My personal dog doesn't mess with it at all. The gates that go from floor to ceiling are much sturdier and while a little trouble to take in and out last forever. In my new SUV, the angle of the seat and ceiling made my old one impossible to use.

Roughly 3-inches. No more. You can barely pass a tennis ball between the bars. Our 7-lb mini schnauzer doesn't even come close to fitting through.

Hi Susan, This is the gate we bought when we had a large opening like that. It does not, however, clamp down to the wall so we had to for example put the vacuum cleaner against one end and somethign else on the other side so the dogs couldn't "push it" open with their paws or noses Four Paws 5 Panel Free Standing Walk Over Wooden Dog Gate, 48"-110"W by 17" H

We have two gates. The height for both is about 30". One gate is 33" wide and the other is about 50" wide. They are adjustable. I suggest that you call the company and tell them exactly how wide your doorway is and they'll be happy toanswer your questions. I have been very pleased with the gates. They are very sturdy. We have a Yorkie and he can'tfit through the bars because they are close enough together. On other gates the bars are too far apart.

There is a gap of 2.5 inches (6.35cm) between the bars. Our cat jumps over the gate with ease.

there is a latch and a section of gate opens for larger dogs. Smaller dogs have a small spring released gate within the gate. The gate is made nicely, actually looks nice in room but our pups were able to scale the top and figure out how to pop open the small gate.
