How to measure your pet

Follow these 3 simple steps to find the perfect pet door size

1

Measure height

Measure from the top of your pet's back down to the upper ankle.

Tip: Pets naturally compress slightly when walking through a pet door, normally the head slightly comes down and the feet lift up.

2

Measure width

Measure the widest part of your pet, typically the chest or hips. Add a small clearance so your pet can comfortably pass through without squeezing.

3

Test before cutting

Cut the hole size from cardboard, place it in the doorway, and call your pet through. This confirms the size works before installing or cutting the door.
