Ideal Ruff Weather Pet Door Extra Large - RWXL

Whether you live and work in the Great Plains or North where the temperature plummets, or in the South-east or West where Summer is endless, the cost of energy has sky rocketed. So, either heating or cooling the back yard with an old fashioned dog door just won't do anymore. In some cases the energy waste is like opening and closing the door itself 4 or 5 times a day.

Exact Measurement: Measure your pet's width:

Simply open a door the minimum width needed for the widest part of your pet to comfortably walk through, then measure the door opening and add an inch.

You can also stand above your pet and use a ruler to measure the widest portion of your pet, then add an inch.

It is important to add an inch or so, that way your pet will not rub on the door as they pass through

Determine your pet's height by measuring from the top of your dog's shoulders to it's belly or chest and add 2 inches.
