Can this be used for a dog? I can't find a dog door with a 7"x11" opening that fits a 23" window.

These doors are extremely sturdy so should work just fine but you could check directly with the company to be sure. I continue to be totally happy with the functionality and quality of these doors. I gave my son one for a 23" window and they love it for their cats who can now go out at will on the large screened in porch to play and also use their litter.

Maybe a small dog that isn't too rough. My largest cat is 15 pounds and he has no problem using it.

I don't see why not. I have 15 pound cats that have no problem going through the space provided.

if it is a small dog and you get the largest cat door, but how will the dog get down from the window? I have a table outside the window and the cats jump down from the table but I don't think a dog would jump that far. I guess you could put a ramp outside the window and train the dog to go down it. How big is your dog?

should be okay. I have cats size of yorkies and they get thru just fine. Hope this helps.

I have 2 English Mastiff's that use the door and I would say it could be slightly bigger for them, but for a Golden it should work well.

I assume you're asking to estimate if it's suited to your dog. The inside dimensions are 8 in wide by 13.75 in tall. Our Corgi and Corgi/Cattle Dog mix have no problems getting through the door.

Yes, if the place where you install it doesn't slide past another door, then it would work. It's about an inch thick, so it might be perfect for a dog that's scratching

It will probably work for a dog that size if you follow the installation instructions and don't install the door too low. It is not so much the dogs over all height that matters, but the size of the dogs body is what determines if it will fit through the door. The idea is to install the door high enough that the dogs body can clear the opening and not have to scrunch down too much either (other than lowering the head). I think the instructions say a minimum of four inches above the ground. You don't want to make the dog drag its belly through the door and you don't want to make the dog scrunch down to get through the door. I installed a smaller door for my fat little spaniel mix, a bit shorter than your dog but probably probably heavier. That door was too narrow. I replaced it with the dogmate medium sized door and she was happy. She is gone now, but my min-pin mix, rat terrier mix and cat all use the same door that I installed for her, even though it is set up too high. They are all young and bounce through the door easily, but I could see it having to be changed or lowered if the have mobility problems when they get older.

I bought a replacement door and the sizing that they have is all screwed up. The door I ordered ended up being 6 inches short and when I called to have them send a new one I got the run around. You would be better off just buying a new kennel.

Possibly. Mine was too rigid for y pets to feel comfortable using and when it got windy it flew open. I prefer the pliable version of these doors.

So I have yet to find one which fits correctly. The opening is about 10x11. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

this would be too big for you. we have it hinged to one side so it's more of a permanent fixture for us, but even unhinged if you were to move it every time (like with a dog gate) 27.5 is the minimum space needed.

I'm confused concerning your measurements. This is not a door for an outside "run" or kennel. This is a replacement door for a Petmate brand, size jumbo, plastic crate. It is just a big plastic crate that you normally see for traveling or potty training. For what it's worth, the opening is 21" wide (at it's widest point, it arcs slightly at the middle to follow the contours of the door's frame) and 27" high. There is no length to speak about. This is not a chain-link or pig-iron swinging door.

The dimensions on the inside of the frame is 11" tall by 8" wide. Both my dogs are Westies, one is extra large and taller than breed standards and weighs 30 pounds and the opening is not even close to being small for him. You might find a sturdy box with those dimensions and see if your pet fits through that size opening.

I have an ex large and my pit bull who is considerably shorter scrapes the top with his back sometimes. Sadly I don't think this pet door will be big enough.

The actual opening is a little over 7" wide and the height opening is a little over 8". I was worried about the size too, when I bought it, but it's been perfect! I have a 23 lb. dog who zooms right through. Be very careful when you install it, though! It has to be very close to the bottom of the door, or the dogs won't be able to activate it with the chip or the collar tag. Otherwise, this is one of the best products I've purchased in a long time! I love it! Hope this helps - Cheri W.

Our window opening is 23" along with the opening. Suggest you check with the manufacturer as they are wonderful to work with.

I do not believe it would work on a sliding door b/c you need to have a knob to hold it up. I think they are working to design noe now. I don't think the size of the dog really matters. You should not have a problem w/ a big dog, in my opinion.

I am not sure that the door would open wide enough. Also, the ramp might me a little to tall. I use it for a miniature dachshund to climb into the bed. It works very well but the material is a little slippery.

no it can't,we used a piece of plywood cut to fit window then fit the pet door in
