I had one for a cat, but the product is similar, it worked well and was easy to install (the top was spring loaded so it automatically fit any door). However it certainly let in more cold/hot air both through the panel and especially through the door itself.

Also I would have serious concerns about using it at ground level since there was no good way to lock it in place.

My other major annoyance was that you had to take it out every time you wanted to actually exit the door.

Give your answer to this question below!

When Pippy is told the door is not closed all of the way she seems to slam it shut and look at her handler with impatience……
