My dog gets into everything, im looking for a cse for this reason. I have lil 9 lb mutt. Will she tear it open?

Honestly I think that she would . This thing is not the most secure pill holder . Try something with a lock. This only has a little button that you slide to the side.

Your dog might have a hard time getting open since I do. It is plastic though and she might be able to crack it and get into the vitamins.

I would say yes. I have a 9 pound chihuahua that it's perfect for. On the other hand. Your pup would have lots of room

We have a 60 lb. husky mix who fits just fine through the doggy door. He is just about 10 months old so he will probably get even bigger and I don't think it will be a problem.

It's pretty sturdy but I could see it cracking. Also, depending on the threat size it may not be a good fit. The opening is ideal for small to medium size kibble.

Be careful! My 5# Chihuahua was well contained until he learned to get his front paws on the sides.. It MUST be anchored down or it will tip over! Also, rabbits can likely knaw through the material alot quicker than a teething puppy.. Good Luck!

It doesn't take any real force to open the door. However, I am not familiar with what a dog that size is capable of. Maybe he wouldn't be able to manage going through the opening. I wonder if you might be better off getting the smaller cat door.

Seeing what Calvinbob said I would completely agree. my friend has the older version with 2 locks but the door does not hook latch into the bottom of the frame. I prefer the new style better. My dog is crate trained as well and doesn't try to escape. I have seen the pictures of crates torn apart by dogs and find it hard to imagine. If the dog can tear this apart your going to need to spend a good chunk of money on something really extreme.

it splits in the middle easy. my dog has not gone through it by her self yet.but she is a wolf dog and does not like something new. but I am sure she will.

You can adjust the closing (and thus opening) force. It should be no problem to adjust it such that a dog can push open the door.

You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing. We're working on it and he has been more cooperative. I make a ridiculously big deal out of any success ( including his favorite yrea, And I tell him how bad he is when he tears things up (clearly for fun). If you can muster the patience, AND you use the right absorbant pads, it does work. Be careful what pad you use, Four Paws WeeWee pads are AWFUL. found some really heavy duty pads made by a small company - look up the name, "Value Pet Supplies." They actually helped me ! the pads they make are far better than others I tried. Good luck. You are prob. doing nothing wrong. My 19 pound Jack Russell did the same thing.

Hi Connie,K. J. Fowler answers your question very well. Just make sure you have your case snapped back together evenly and tight so your pup doesn't lose the compartment. I have seen a complaint on that but I haven't had a problem. You just have to snap it back correctly. Hope this helps!Shirley Long

I have an 8 yr old Shih tzu that can go in & out with no problem. I also had a bigger dog, so the step-over had to be higher, but still my Shih Tzi jumps right through it, no problem. My shih tzu is younger than your little guy, so I'm not sure how he'd do with the stepover. My Mom's little Pekingese has shorter legs & refuses to use it, so I have to leave my slider open slightly if we leave. So it's just gonna depend on how agile your cocker is. It's nice, but it was HARD to install. My brother is a builder & he did it for me. It IS a great door tho.

Both ends of the tube open, but you will need to leave enough space for the dog to get in. The length of the tube is sort of adjustable as the frame is spring like which you can partly collapse down. The zipper to hold the tube when closed/collapsed should be able to hold it. The manufactures instructs talks about this. I have not used this feature, personally. It depends on how much space you want your large dog to have while in the tube. There is no door in the middle of the tube.

Everything!! We have goldens.... There is no way the skinny width would work without harming the dog. It is also much easier to bite thru the narrow one.

If it were my puppy, I wouldn't put anything in that the dog might choke on. Why not ask the breeder what s/he recommends.

Yes. It definitely closes tight! It clicks shut. My puppy hasn't even been able to get into it and I have it sitting on the floor.

My dog is a Maltese, so she was not able to move it around. I also connected it to her crate, but I had to use the divider that came with her crate to close the opening on the top because her crate was not that tall. It works great for me, just make sure you connect the crate with no openings. I left an opening one day and she got out and had the entire house to herself.
