Has anyone installed this door when owning two dogs of vastly different heights? (Corgi &amp; Lab for example) What height did you install the door at?

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.

I have a Vari Kennel, not a Petco but I believe they are similar. The only advice I can offer is that the dimensions of the door given by the seller were quite accurate, as was the photograph. It is not a rectangular door.

I think so. I purchased the door for our two small dogs each about 10-12 lbs

My 75 lb lab doesn't go speeding thru, sometimes he has a quick step if he rushes thru. Also the door is raised a bit so dogs will have to step up, think dogs will naturally adapt to how & what speed they go thru. I love the 2 flaps, less flimsy & more durable.

I don't have a small crate. Mine is large and door is on the side. It's entirely possible the small crate would have the second door on top. Maybe someone who has a small crate can answer.

Yes, it should be no problem. My dog is a Black Lab/Shaperki and weighs 100 pounds and uses it. The door is just barely large enough for him, but he has never had any trouble getting in or out.

We have a blue heeler that bolts thru the door at high speeds and she has never had an issue with the 2 flaps. This is our first doggy door we have ever owned and we love it, it is very energy effecient with the 2 flaps.

height is not as much as an issue as width. As long as you do not have a dog who's head or body is wider than the width they will fit! We have smaller yorkie's and a Lhasa Apso who's about 13 inches in height that can all fit through the door.

The part they step over is about 4 inches tall once installed and the overall with is about 13-14 inches (sorry, only had a ruler to measure with - so I'm approximating). This thing is a HUGELY beneficial door to our family and the dogs love it. The only drawback we have found (but not bad enough to outweigh the benefits) is the magnet at the bottom does not hold it closed in wind, and when it is VERY cold outside, we have to cover it well to shut it or it ices up.

Specs are as stated in the previous two replies but I wanted to piggy back off of Michigan amazon's reply and also recommend that you do NOT purchase the door flap... very difficult to install and the dogs tend not to like it as it is not see-through. It really isn't necessary anyway with the igloo-style opening.

The door height is 26". It sounds like this door would be too tall for the opening of your veri kennel.

Cynthia. I have a 102 pound puppy and she just fits on height. The door comes with one strap and the trigger device. I would suggest ordering at least 2 spares if u live in a wet climate as they are not water tight and they are ruined when wetHope that helps you

It really depends on the size of your dogs. One of my dogs is the size of a miniature poodle and weighs 21 lbs. (he was supposed to be less than 10 lbs). My other dog is 7 lbs, but I had to choose the size of the door for the biggest dog. It is well built. Because my wall was thicker, my handyman who installed it had to devise a "tunnel" to fit.

We have one (36x22x24) for our 60 lb boxer/bulldog mix. We leave one door open all the time when home. He cannot stand up in it but freely goes in for a nap. When we must leave him alone he stays in it quietly with the door latched. I think the trick is to put a bed inside and let them use it at will, then the "lock-up" is no big deal. The size does not bother him since he curls up on the bed.

When I installed this door I had a Bullmastiff mix (90+ lbs.) a Bichon (11 lbs.) and a Shih Tzu (15 lbs.) The ShihTzu has since passed but she had no problem using it until the day she died. The bottom of the door is 10 inches from the floor. None of the dogs have ever had a problem using it at all. The little ones have to hop up a little but that's not nearly as high as getting on the couch or bed.

We have miniature schnauzers who have no trouble at all--even the blind older one. The inside opening ended up about 4 inches above the floor level but outsidedrops down a little more due to a step. I hope this will help you. We really love this double door!

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.
