Measure your dog from the ground to the shoulders at the front legs.
Is your dog less than 14 inches (35 cm) tall at the shoulders? Then take the Nipper dog flap. But do you have a broad dog, such as an English Bulldog? Then do the door test: open the door 20 cm and call your dog in. No problem? Then the Nipper (Small) door is suitable. Otherwise, you had better take the 24 cm Jake (Medium) door.

Do not take a dog door that is too big, but if you are not sure, then give your dog the benefit of the doubt and take a bigger size!
that is a job for a glazier. They will come and measure the window in order to replace it. Make sure your pet door is delivered to you when the glazier comes to measure the window. Then he can take the exact measurements of the door as well and you’ll be sure to be fine!
our wood, rubber, aluminium, etc. is of the same quality as interior or exterior doors. A real door-in-your-door.
the most comfortable option thanks to the two flaps (on the inside and outside wall), which create an insulating air layer in between. This is what we recommend from a technical point of view.
Indeed, because wood gives you a lot of pleasure: it insulates, looks good, feels nice, etc.
And our wood is low-maintenance because it has been treated with oil, so that dirt cannot enter it. So if you polish the pet door a few times a year with a cloth with some oil, it will stay in excellent condition for years.
By the way, you can also order our pet doors ‘natural’ as well for you to finish them the way you want: do you like your dog door black, blue-grey, etc.? It’s possible!
In Belgium, the Netherlands, Great Britain and California (US) we have installers, so you can include the installation in your online order. We will then contact you a few days later to arrange the installation date.
Very comfortable: we install with little dust and take all waste with us.
But to be honest, if you can make the hole in the door or wall yourself, the rest of the work is very easy. No fiddling about with small, fragile parts: only high-quality materials that are a pleasure to work with. A fun project for a handy DIYer.
