Ideal Pet Products Aluminum Sash Window Dog Door - Perfect for Your Furry Friend

P. MakarevichP. Makarevich: Cats used right away . Only complaint is that it doesn’t always shut completely. Works well for cats getting in and out with a raccoon problem in the previous cat door . I installed it in minutes .

Juanita Wells: My cats love this entryway to their outdoor catio!
Took a little encouragement for them to figure it out but even the 20 year old has no problem with it now. Fit my window perfectly with no drafts took 5 mins to install. Worth every penny!

Blue Herring: Took about 5 minutes to install and it looks very nice. I had to duct-tape the door open for the first several days until my cat figured it out. I think the window panels on either side of the door help with that. They can see that there's nothing scary on the other side of the door.
I like that I can easily remove it from the window at any time.

I don't like that the window is unlocked and open, so can easily be further opened from outside.
So I cut a broomstick and wedged it between the top of the window frame and the top of the open panel.
I guess the cat door could be smashed into the house for someone to get in, but it would take a lot of kicking/hitting, because it's wedged in there pretty tight, so I would hear the noise....and it's kind of a moot point, since I can remove it from the window when I'm gone or asleep.
Works perfectly for me.

joaddyjojoaddyjo: This fitted my window perfectly super easy to fit - we have just got a new dog and so the cats prefer to get to the garden without running the gauntlet of a puppy while we get her cat friendly. It is expandable so as long as you measure your windows properly it will be super easy to fit. It came with some sealing tape but I bought some more for the top of my sash window as a breeze comes through.

The cats love it and bob in and out all day as they please. Definitely recommend.

Luna: Great quality, works perfect for my mid-small sized dog without the hassle of opening a hole on the wall!

IrishDesi: First, this is so easy to install, that "install" seems like a silly word. You basically put it in the window and tighten it. The end.

We have been using it for about a year. Our scaredy-cat took some convincing that it was ok for the hatch to touch her, but she got there. It also took her a little bit of time to figure out she can open it herself. Our other cat has gone right through since day one.

It can be a little drafty around the edges, which is probably the case for anything you place in a window. We bought some foam pieces marketed for window AC units to better insulate the edges. We put a chair cushion in front of the hatch when the cats are in for the night.

Here's a word of warning: our big cat can ram her head into it and get it to open even when it's locked! The little one couldn't and wouldn't. If you need to keep your cat inside sometimes, and she is determined and obsessive beware! The lock might not be enough. It's another reason we use the chair cushion.

Another issue is that the window itself can't lock while the cat door is in. You can either take it out, which is easy enough, or brace the top of the window with something else so it...

Janet Shold: Super easy to install, but you will need to add weather-stripping which is also easy to do.
Works great, and I love that you can set it to open only to enter or to exit, both ways, or locked.
I find it a great little cat door for the price.

Marie Angelic Oliverez: Why did I wait so long?!!! Our family has been the door openers for 14 years. The cat meows and looks at the door and we obey, Open, close, open, close, open close aaaaaaalllll day! I put this in the window showed the furballs how to use it and wham! I've either tricked them into being their own doormen or they finally realized they don't need me and are free to go outside. Now a fun game one cat has invented is to run outside and jump on Dad's window while he's working and beg for food, attention, and attention. Yes I wrote that twice. It's just really nice to not have to wake up at 2 or 3 am to open the window or door for the cats. There is a large shelf outside my bedroom window for the furballs and they know it. We all love the new chubby kat largest sash window opening available. It was super easy to install and worth the price I paid. The one thing I did do was go a clear command hook and put it on the cat door so I would have a handle to pull it closed as someone else mentioned in another review. Very helpful advice as there is no way to pull it closed. There is a little breeze that comes through but my window is wide enough (old) that I have room to have the cat door in...

IB: I purchased this pet door to install in one of my windows to allow my cats to have access to their new cat patio. The door is very sturdy and very easy to install. It was really a good purchase and I have no regret.
The door has a locking mechanism that allows you to lock the door to control when your pets can go in and out. This locking mechanism is the only downside to this door. I bought this door because I was hoping to be able to control my cats access to their cat patio as I was afraid of them going out at night and when I was not home. Well.... within less than 5 days of the pet door being installed, my cats had figured out how to unlock it. The locking mechanism is really not useful and I had to made peace with the fact that I would not be able to control their access to the cat patio.

DVBDVB: We have two Pekingese. For the uninitiated, they're dogs. Small dogs. Very small dogs, in fact. They both love going out on the porch. To bark. At squirrels. And anything else that moves. The problem is, more often than not, they want to come back into the house right after they've gone out. It's a rule. And after they've come back in, they want to go right back out. That's also a rule. They're ridiculous beasts, to say the least. But also cute.

During the warmer months, we will leave the porch door open to help the hell beasts move between realms. We have a door screen that self-closes in the center with magnets so that the dogs can push their way out and push their way in as they see fit. It works great and they both make liberal (oh stop, this is about dogs, not politics) use of it.

During the colder months, however, we are at the mercy of their whim, letting them out while keeping the door open just enough that they can push their way back in. The drafts are annoying, and once they've pushed the door open to come in, we have to get up to go close it again...or to let them back out. This would go on all night. Because we have no willpower. And because the...
