i just received this door today and see that the flap measure 7 x 111/2". My Boston terrier stand 15" tall, will he fit thru this flap?

Yes, it should work. We have two Jack Russell's about the same size and height of your Boston Terrier. They are both 13 y/o and have been easily trained do use the door. Good luck!!

I also have a Boston and was wondering if that size (7 x 11 1/2) worked for you or if you got a bigger one?

Just a word of caution, my dog injured his back from running out a doggy door that was too small for him to chase birds. He had been using this door for years, with no problem. Expensive vet bills followed.

Our westie is 12 inches high and it works well. Personally I think 15 high would not work. My dogs back barely clears .

I really can't answer that question. I have two cats---one is rather large and they both fit. Wish I could be or more help.

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.

The bag is taller than it is wide. I have a Boston Terrier who was about 12 pounds at the time I bought it and I felt it was too small overall so I sent it back.

We have a medium door and it just fits my medium dog which is a boston terrier. But I do love this product. I will never be without one again.

My dog is 75 lbs Labrador mix. She is quite tall as well. She uses door day in and day out. It's been over 6 months and still works great. Only complain I have is that the door flap is really not air tight. I can feel drafts of air especially when it's too cold or too hot, it makes huge difference.

Door is 12" wide by 18" tall. My dog is medium size Maltese/Yorkshire mix and fits perfectly. Hope this helps.

You need to measure your dog height and width and go from there. Also how old is the dog? If he/she is an older dog, they tend to be not as flexible in being able to bend down a little and walk. Any do over 260 may need a custom dog. I have a 1 1/2 year old Golden Retriever that weighs around 80 pounds and has no issues with using the super size door I put in. Again measure your dog, that will tell you a lot.

I have the large size and The cut out width is 11 inches. That is one inch bigger than the flap size. I can not find the flap side on the medium door. So I am unsure if it would fit in the 8 1/2 inch space that you have.

Small is listed as up to 15lbs and 5-1/4" x 8-1/8" for the flap. (More sizing can be found on their website, currently at http://store.petsafe.net/freedom-aluminum-doors.)

I am associated with the company. Because of the way the DoubleMag flap system works, there is a slightly smaller opening for the pet coming back into the house than there is going out of the house. The 13'' wide x 18'' high value is for the going out direction. Coming back in, the "flap seal" component seals 1'' on the bottom and two sides, which results in an 11'' x 17'' opening. We recommend that people base their sizing off of the smaller of the two values.

Sorry Richard, I think you must be more specific, as I can not tell what "dimension" you are referring to. Since Flap and Frame would be 2 separate sizes or dimensions, I suggest you contact PetSafe directly, and ask them for help. Lynne

The flap is 10 inches wide by 16 inches tall. I have an 85lbs chocolate lab and she fits through there just fine.

Flap is not loud. Not sure about the size 5x7 door? seems awefully small for a dog door? We may have the 12x19. My husband would use extra wood to make the hole smaller, which could work for you

My experience is with the extra large door (weather extreme). I have three dogs (110 LBS EA) and they use the door all day everyday! In my case the flaps do get worn or pushed to one side and it will create a gap. This is fixable by adjusting the small screws at top of flaps. The flaps DO create a decent seal so I guess it will depend on the amount of use the door gets. Hope this info helps!!

The size I bought (using the replacement # on the flap I have) did not fit my door. The installation holes weren't even close to lining up (yes, I flipped it over to make sure I had it on the right side) and the flap was at least an inch too short. If it gives the total measurements for the flap online, I would measure the one you already have before ordering.

We bought the extra large doggy door I am not sure of the measurements for it. Our dog is about 95lbs and he barely fits in it

it is 9 inches wide and 11 inches high. you need about 14 in. hgt. and 11 in. wde to install. flap is rigid, it is a bit loud. ws have three dogs and they are in and out all the time. biggest is about 50 lbs, and goes right through, no prob. like this door as it seals tight every time. It will be a bit harder to install because of rigid. be sure your holes are square and level then its easy. hope this helps.
