[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sliding Glass Pet Door is a great product for dogs like mine who go out, then come back in, then scratch the door to go back out again. Now they can go in and out without you having to get up every time. I wasn’t actually sure how this worked, but you basically attach the panel to your existing sliding glass door space and this essentially takes up part of the opening so that your door closes and attaches to this instead of the wall. Because of this, there is simple installation that requires a drill, phillips screwdriver, & tape measure. Everything else you need is included in the kit. The door has real glass panels so you do not lose anything with respect to why you probably have glass doors in the first place–for looking outside. Your pet can then go in and out through the flap opening. The medium door is designed for a pet weighing up to 40 lbs but there are different sizes available. These would be nice to see for sale at home improvement stores so that people knew they were available.

I have had this door for two weeks. It works well and the dogs took to it right away. I installed it by myself and it was much easier than I expected. One piece of advance. We have a sliding door opening of 28” across (we’re we walk in and out) the pet large door takes up 13 1/2” of that space. I can still get in and out but it’s tight. Good for the cool weather but I will have to find another solution when summer arrives so I can go in and out much easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sliding glass pet door is wonderful and so easy to install. So easy to get familiar with and makes it’s safer for your pet to travel in and out. Recommended to all my friends and family. Wonderful quality and value. Fits securely and effectively.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for sliding patio doors so the dog can let themselves out. It also allows you to lock it in places. I got the large size for dogs up to 100 lbs. An extremely convenient, useful, and high quality door.
Rudy1 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a small dog that always wants out at inconvenient times, this dog door was a great solution. It’s easy to install and allows you to make a dog entrance to the outdoors in what used to be a difficult space -a sliding glass door.
Steve521 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With three dogs, two being under a year old, it was very tedious when each have to go out – and they are never on the same schedule. We had a PetSafe door for our cats, so why not give the doggie door a try! The installation was very easy – which was unexpected. We had the door opened and installed within the hour. It took the dogs a little getting used to, but that also went very smooth (once treats were used for training). Now the dogs go in and out freely with no issues. We were very impressed at how sturdy the door was when our lab puppy dashes through it. Plus, it comes with a solid door with a pin lock when we do not want them to go out. I would highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great door for dogs. I have bigger dogs so the small door would not work and this wonderful and sturdy.
HappyBunch (verified owner) –
We purchased this today, the installation was a bear. We have 2 large dogs and this is the large size. I would describe it fitting a dog up to 60lbs at most.. NOT 100. You would NOT want to place this in a home you do not own because you will need to screw through the existing door as well as the frame. All in all this is NOT what we thought it would be. I would not recommend this to anyone without suggesting alternatives. The idea is great, the execution really needs work.
Wyogal (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome product easy to install. The cats and dogs love their freedom of not bothering their people to go in and out
DeanM (verified owner) –
This door is awesome. It is one of the best purchases we have ever made for our home. It has held up about a year now with a 100lb Labrador and a 30lb Springer Doodle. Solid construction and the fact that we don’t have to open the door for them every five minutes makes it worth every penny.
Delta dawn (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought a large sliding glass door by PetSafe. It allows my Sheperd that weighs 75 pounds easy access in and out of the house. She easily figured out how to use it! It installed easily and only took a few hours to install. The materials it is made of are aluminum and very sturdy. If you need a pet door I would highly recommend this brand!

I bought this today and had to get creative in order to fit it into our sliding glass door. The weather strip that attaches to the original door to seal the gap did not work at all, so we had to remove it. The glue used didn’t stick to the rubber itself. Based on the price, this door isn’t worth the $200 I spent.
rdshark100 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for a small dog and the cats to be able to go in and out as needed. It works very well for that and my animals learned how to use it pretty quick. The directions are clear and the quality of the product is nice and solid. It could use a little better packaging as the top panel got slightly misadjusted in shipping. Easy fix by loosening a couple screws and adjusting it, just something to keep in mind. Overall I like it and it performs as expected and feels like it will prove to be durable.
MichaelM (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great concept for installation into a pre-existing sliding door. Great construction and very easy to install. My only problem is that it narrows the entryway. If that’s not an issue than you will probably enjoy this product. Despite that I did give it 5 stars because of the ease of installation and the quality of the door. I personally still use it I just didn’t install it permanently.
GoofyNut (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first received this I was optimistic about installation and if my dog would actually use it. I was a bit surprised at how easy it was to install and, again, surprised because my dog sat there and watched me put it in and before I could clear the area after installing, he immediately used it…over and over again! I should have considered this option way before now; now, it feels like both, my dog and I, can’t live without it!!

I got this one about a month ago and my dog love having access to the yard.
Katy (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very weary of being a doorman for my 4 Pugs. It was easier to put together and install than I thought. All 4 Pugs figured out the new sliding Pet door in just under 8 minutes. I tried a cheaper sliding glass pet door and was not happy with the quality. This one is very sturdy and has solved my problem. The Pug Posse is happy and so am I.
So Cold (verified owner) –
While the door works great in that our dog happily uses it to let herself in and out of the house once the temperatures were below freezing outside we were cold inside. The sweep that was included was self adhesive and even after thoroughly washing/drying the door before installation it fell off within a day (we ended up attaching it with screws to keep it on). We now have insulated curtains and a door snake… and I’m trying to figure out how to insulate it even better before it gets cold again.
Lois15 (verified owner) –
I bought the pet door a couple of weeks ago or so. My dog (a rescue) had it figured out in half a day and it’s wonderful…he can come and go as he pleases. Very happy I bought this…definitely well worth the price.

Engineer Bill (verified owner) –
Installed the small dog PetSafe door. The existing sliding door is nominally 2″ thick and the PetSafe door is about 1″ thick. The sliding door had a round bead track along the bottom which matched the groove in the PetSafe door. In order to fasten the PetSafe door rigidly to the door frame I used five 1/2″ diameter by 1/2″ long nylon spacer/bushings and 1″ long by #6 screws.
Bella (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have three small house dogs. They are always going to the back door wanting to go out. They never seem to all need to go at the same time. When we installed the pet door in our sliding glass patio doors the problem was solved. They now come and go when they want to. It is so helpful when we will be gone for the day that we don’t rush home to make sure they get to go outside.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed the PetSafe Sliding Glass Pet Door, and it was easy, and fits perfectly. I have the large dog door, and it fits dogs up to 100lbs, is energy efficient and perfect if you ever plan on moving, or are renting. It doesn’t do any damage to the sliding door, and is easy to move. It comes with weather stripping, and everything you need to install. The top of the door is spring loaded, push in the black buttons and the top lowers down to fit in the doorway. The flap has a magnet at the bottom to keep it sealed, and there is a panel that slides down to keep it shut in or out for safety at bedtime.It only took an electric drill and a screwdriver to install, and comes out easily if I need to remove it. This is perfect for my cats to go in and out all day, and much safer because I kept my sliding door open some all day for them. Up and down in the winter is no fun, it was too cold to leave the door open any. I recommend 100%, I have had no issues.
I have more pictures of the door, but for some reason I couldn’t add them, sorry. I think two pictures I was able to add, gives you an idea of how it works.
Fits door opening size 75 7/8 to 80 11/16″
Flap opening 10 1/4″ × 16 3/8″
Depth 3/4″
Frame width 13 1/2″
Rise 4 1/4″
Shoulder Height 20 5/8″

You purchase one of these at Lowes or Home Depot already put together for same price. The one assembled at petsupplycanada is $50 more. petsupplycanada: don’t have a review for products if you dont want the truth. I think some of the reviews for this product are suspicious at best
Connie Moulaison (verified owner) –
My cat is only 13 lbs. This door is too small for her she will not use it. My male cat is 11 lbs he will not use the door either. I wish I would have purchased one size bigger. The small door opening is too small and the plastic flap is too rigid. They have been using a medium size sliding glass pet door for over 9 years and they use it all the time. Both cats absolutely refuse to use this smaller door.
Jacks_84 (verified owner) –
I had a pet safe, small dog door installed in a closet door cut out that I put in my sliding glass door. But the dog door was too small for my dog to get through all the time. Plus, the closet door was too wide to comfortably walk in and out through the sliding glass door. So, I bought this clear glass door with medium dog opening, and it is 1000% better!!
I love that I can see through it. And, it prevents my dog from scraping her back. And since it is narrower, we can easily walk in and out of the sliding glass door without turning sideways and sucking in our stomach.
I recommend removing your factory sliding glass door’s rubber side stop bumper (opposite end as the dog door) to give you 2” more walking room! 😉

Unless you can take it out in the winter, the door will leak so much air your house will be cold and the entire panel will be covered in ice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this Pet Door! We have 4 cats, and while they are not outdoor cats, they still get to go outside for about 2 hours each day–confined to the back yard. While they are out, I want to close the door, but I liked the idea of them being able to run into the house if they encounter something unexpected outside. This door definitely fits the bill! It’s like an insert for a patio door. It’s meant to be installed and affixed to the patio door, but we don’t do that. Instead, when the cats go outside we just open the patio door, insert this into the opening and let the kitties run in and out as they please, and when it’s time for them to come in, we remove the insert. It works great! The cats had a time trying to decide whether or not to come through the opening but they finally decided it was okay.
Cat person (verified owner) –
I searched everywhere for a taller pet door insert to no avail. So I bought this one and instead of attaching the panels using the short piece of metal provided, I purchased two 5 to 6 feet long square dowels, 5/8 inch square. They fit perfectly down the tunnels of the pet door insert. And they permit a huge amount of additional height to match my sliding glass door. I filled the remaining space between the two pieces of window, with a piece of styrofoam. See pic. It is very stable, solves the problem and looks fine. I am very happy with this product amended to the correct height.
Judi73 (verified owner) –
This product is made to fit a single-pane sliding glass door.
Mine is double-pane, so the side and track of it is wider than the dog door, and the latch does not match up, and the T-bars will not fit-too much space between the track and dog door to secure it. I found a workaround to make it work.
I think there should be a disclaimer on the box that it will only work on a single pane glass door/track.
Alboy (verified owner) –
Live in Ohio colder climate and door doesn’t flap back into place after our dog goes in and out. The magnet doesn’t see strong enough to hold after entry or leaving if there are winding conditions. Great idea but if its windy the door flap will just keep blowing open as its to light to shut during windy conditions, so this leave cold air blowing in for hours if you are at work or sleeping causing higher heating bills. Love the idea but just wont hold in a windy cold environment. The door will have tons of condensation causing water to drip on the indoor floor in the winter months.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been using PetSafe’s sliding glass pet doors for years and we would never want do without one! The dogs can easily get in and out anytime they need to. This sliding glass pet door is nice because it’s more compact for delivery and the box is not as awkward, however it seems as though there’s now just another place for air and water to come through. With this version of the pet door the glass is not one piece and I personally don’t think it looks as nice in the sliding door having the metal right in the middle. For the install we always add three times more weather stripping than what they give us. This dog door does not seem to be as sturdy as their other ones. I hope they don’t discontinue the other door they have carried for years.
The dogs love it either way! I only hope it will last through the winds, rain and snow that’s headed this way.

The people who designed this product obviously do not have cats. My cats, like all cats, don’t like going through a door through which they cannot see! All of the door flaps and replacement door flaps they make are opaque – not clear, like cats need.

This pet door is so simple to install into your sliding glass door. However it is just as easy to remove when needed. My dogs are really enjoying the free access, they now have. And I am no longer jumping up to let the dogs in & out numerous times a day.
The PetSafe Sliding Glass Pet Door has really made a big difference in our day to day. Making for some very happy dogs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical that the Pet Door would be sturdy or not have enough insulation to be used throughout the year. The weather has turned colder here in New Hampshire. I can honestly say that I have not seen any leaks or compromise of the insulation qualities of my sliding door after installing this product. Very well constructed!

Pup Dude (verified owner) –
I bought this for our 4 month old GSD a few days ago. Setup was easy yes, the door looks nice when set with my sliding glass door. But the problem comes the lack of insulation sealing the outside environment. My experience with the door wasn’t great, due to the weather and the gaps this door creates with my sliding glass door. The stripping and materials in the packaging are not great quality so using them don’t give me the confidence of weather proofing I would like. Again, this is my personal experience and personal review. Others may have differing opinions and outcomes but mine was not to the standard I expected so, unfortunately, I will be returning the product.

My screen pet door broke and saw this and thought it would solve my weather issues with having to leave the sliding door open so my cat could go in and out on his own.
First off it doesn’t line up top to bottom the bottom sticks out about a 1/4″ which isn’t a problem unless you want to install the included lock. The included shim isn’t thick enough to make it work luckily I was able to make the original lock work. I installed it on one of the windiest days of the year and noticed alot of air leaking in around the wooden frame I will have to caulk around it. The one thing that really got me is I have gone from a 28″ door opening to an 18″ opening which is quite small going in and out especially in the summer when barbecuing. Having a bit of buyers remorse but will stick it out.

Kristy Q (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just installed this into a new house. I do like that this model comes in two pieces because it is much easier to transport and move a smaller box than a really tall box. I feel like there was less chance of it breaking in shipping. It was very simple to attach the two pieces together. I did not permanently install the door, meaning I did not drill and attach it to the sliding glass door frame. I put it in and use a security bar to keep the sliding glass door locked shut. The door looks very nice and I like the locking panel you can use to keep the dogs inside, if needed.
The only drawback for me was the manual. I felt the steps could have been a little clearer and the diagrams could have been more extensive. The pictures of the screws all looked the same and it wasn’t necessarily simple to tell which screws went to which step.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a 3 season room that we hardly use but it’s always closed with our sliding glass door to keep the heating/cooling costs down.

The pet door was easy to install and actually didn’t take up as much room on the door as I thought it would. Both of my dogs went in and out very easily. The color of the product matched perfectly next to my sliding door and I feel like it is very secure. The only thing I found that might be an issue is that my cat is also interested in using the door.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second sliding pet door that I recently installed. The first one worked so well that we decided to add one to our family room sliders. This door fairly easy to install – just follow the directions. My cairn terrier who weighs 24 lbs learned how to use this door quickly and he can now come and go freely. The door flap is magnetic on the bottom so it closes after he passes through and seals up so that insects cannot get in. If you are looking for a pet door that doesn’t leave a permanent hole in your door, this is the one to get. Easily removable when needed.
Moxie (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy fit and install. Great for both dogs and cats (if the cats are smart enough to figure it out 🙂 It seems to have pretty good sealing power to keep the outside air from seeping into our sunroom. Nice for the animals to be able to go in and out to our fenced backyard on their own. Highly recommended!

This is sooo convenient to have instead of having to open the door for our pups and also prevents flies, bugs from coming into the house. The door is also adjustable to the height of your sliding door, depending on the size range that you order. We chose the medium size for our cattle dog Lucy. She loves going in and out on her own…cant say we’re minding either. Thankyou Petsafe!

This is great because it gives my dogs another easy way to go out, but I can remove it in the super cold months to save some on my heat bills! You can put the panel in to keep your dogs in, lock your patio door if you want, and of course still use the patio door yourself so it’s a win win! Love it, no complaints!

I bought this door a couple of weeks ago, and so far the biggest issue I have is with the flap. My cat doesn’t like that it isn’t clear (it’s opaque plastic, so he can see light coming through it, but can’t clearly see what’s on the other side, which is a BIG issue when you’re a cat). The magnetic closure is a little clunky for smaller animals, who just want to breeze through a door, but I think it would be fine for a dog, who is less likely to be timid about charging through. I believe my cat will get accustomed to it in a few days. His other kitty doors are hard plastic flaps that he can see through, and they swing freely, but we wanted this one for the sliding door, because it looked safer to me. I also like the hard plastic insert it uses as a lock feature; no chances other animals are going to come through it. At first we thought it would be something we would just take in and out when we were away from home, but we decided to screw it in place and make it semi-permanent. It seems sturdy enough (we’re in a low crime area, so it will keep out anyone who isn’t completely determined to get in) with the screws in place. Looks nice; all in all, we’re very happy with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this pet door for my chihuahua and cat. It is the perfect size for both of them. I got it so I could close up a larger pet door installed by the previous owners. I prefer the smaller opening for security reasons.The installation instructions are little difficult to follow so give yourself time to put it together and be patient. You will happy with the outcome.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed my glass pet door yesterday. So far it has worked wonderfully for my inside/outside cat. She had no problem using the flap because of the same on her litter box. She is now free to roam inside and out without sitting at the door meowing! I’m very happy with it so far and am curious how it will work when the snow comes.

Works great but I have a Large that is suppose to fit up to 100 pounds and my dog barely fits. I have a German Shepherd weighing 65 pounds what squeezes through it and a 20 pound husky that fit perfect. Only get for a dog that is no bigger than 35 pounds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got the sliding pet door I was skeptical of it b/c we had one before and my dogs did not enjoy our previous one. But the pet safe sliding glass door is really helping my family enjoy the outside with out waiting on me to take them out! It is very easy to install 10-15 mins max. It is very well built. Great for apartments who have outside patios like ours!

The insert fits great didn’t take long to install but my issue is with the whole design after watching my dogs use it. The bottom of the door has a 5 inch panel across the bottom that’s aluminum before the flap starts so for my big dog she has to duck her head while lifting her legs so not to knock them on the bottom panel.. my smaller dogs has to almost climb over it.. wish I would of known about this sooner I probably would of looked for a different door. Also mine did not come with the lock panel that slides in when you don’t want to use it. Called customer support and they are sending it should take 5-8 days so I’m the mean time I have to side a heavy piece of furniture in front of it at night for safety. Keep in mind my large dog is almost 60 lbs a Anatolian mix and my small dog is a 15 lb rat terrier. I purchased the largest size.

Graciesmom (verified owner) –
I found the instructions very confusing. It doesn’t fit right because of the latch in the sliding door so now I have to get door sweeps for both sides if I want to use the door in winter time. The pet flap is not entirely aligned with the edges of the opening, so even shut there is draft. Also not good in winter. I would not recommend this particular product.
Stella (verified owner) –
I am very happy with the pet door. Had handyman install it; he said it was more complicated than installation videos indicate. Remember that everyone’s slider is different and it might take more time to fit that to the pet door. The pet door looks absolutely great!
Nodak (verified owner) –
We have had this door in service now for a number of years! We have the small size for our Yorkie. It looks good and works great. Highly recommended for small dogs. The only issue was since you cannot close the slider all the way there is some wind intrusion between the slider and the stationary door. Not a big problem in FL though.
Lexi (verified owner) –
I bought this door over 2 years ago. It is great and my dog loves it, but they don’t give you instructions on how to fix the one inch gap that it leaves from the sliding glass door not being able to seal because of the insert. I have emailed, tried multiple things to try and seal the patio door, but nothing has worked. We put the bug guard it came with on the inside back of the door, but there is nothing to go on the outside to seal the door. Every single time it rains our brand new floors get soaked due to this oversight. If anyone has had this issue and found a solution PLEASE SHARE!!! Maybe the company has a solution or some suggestions since my door doesn’t seal because of the pet door insert.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved the Petsafe – Sliding Glass Pet Door just a little over a month ago and so far it’s been great! It was easy to install I did not have to cut anything which meant there was no damage done to my sliding door. Plus it does not let out the air or heat and was not hard for my 17 year old dog to figure out.

My dogs are able to go out and come I with no problem. I highly recommend the door.

Don’t have to hurry home to let them out now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a medium sized dog, and letting the dog in and out all the time in the back yard. I set up the pet door, and it was amazing how quickly my dog figured it out. Just a few treats to coax him to go through it, and then he had it down on his own. The set up was easy, and my dog is now in heaven. If he wants to go outside in the middle of the night, he can! and the best part is, I do not have to get up! he loves his new freedom. (and so do I)

I was so excited to get this so that my indoor/outdoor cat can come and go as he pleases. However, the plastic is not clear, it is frosted. A cat is very cautious and will not go through an opening if he can not see what is on the other side. If it were clear, this would have been amazing. However, I have to return it because it is useless if my cat won’t go through it. Such a shame and I am unsure of the logic behind the frosted platic.

This is the perfect doggie door for a patio door. It is stylish and sturdy. The only disadvantage is that the opening space for the patio door is narrower. It was relatively easy to install and fits well with a few minor adjustments. This is a replacement for the one I had for 20 years.

My partner is an engineer and I have exceptional reading comprehension skills. The instructions are literally impossible to follow. Parts aren’t labeled. There is a parts list that uses different part names than the names that are used in the instruction. They mix imperial and metric measurements throughout. They fail to actually show placement of the T-brackets. They skip steps in the instructions. It’s a nightmare. In the end, there was no way to actually secure the door with the hardware included.

Older dogs need to go more often and our two are loving having the door to come in and out. It’s a little heavy for our tiny Maltese but she’s getting the hang of it. Our other dog took to it immediately. Love it. ~ cut down on the accidents by 90%.

AlysaWQ (verified owner) –
Solid product, easy to install, and worth the money. Our only concern is the height of the opening. While our #90 boxer CAN get through it, he has to duck down so low his back legs continue to slip when he does. Our #65 boxer is fine, as he is about 2 inches shorter than the #90 boy. This is better than nothing, but wish there was a taller option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pet door! Had a little difficulty with installation. Ended up choosing option 3 since I rent and this kept me from drilling into the sliding door frame. Once installed, my little one loved the freedom of going in and out of the home. I no longer have to stand by the door and wait for her to want to come back in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pet door was an easy install into the sliding door track. Adding the locking mechanism a simple. Training the dog was a little more difficult. It took some bribes and a lot of praise to get her to use it properly. I like the safety of the Lockean door system.

I bought and picked this up today. It implied the door would fit into my sliding glass door. The only dimensions in the description are for the pet entry. Unfortunately, my sliding glass door is several inches taller than the max 81”. The price difference and ordering time for anything taller is much more expensive and a while wait to receive. I’m extremely disappointed in the misleading nature of the description that it would fit in “my” current sliding door.

I would have given it a five but nowhere in the directions does it indicate that the top is spring loaded. This feature allows me to take it out at night and put it back in the morning without much trouble. I have an enclosed back porch that gets cold during the winter so I needed something for the sliding door so my pups could get to the back door doggie door. They love it and so do we!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This door is a very welcomed addition to our home. It was a little daunting to see all the hardware that was needed to install the door, but my husband took one look and had the door installed quickly. It took some training to get my dogs to go through the door, but now they come and go without me having to leave the sliding door open for them. It is definitely a great solution to keep the flies out. The glass pet door panel looks neatly placed in the door also, even though it does cut some of the view out. The only thing I noticed, is that my yorkie comes in softly and the door does not always catch the magnet. The cairn terrier comes through stronger and is bigger and it works great. I would recommend this pet door for anyone who has dogs that love to be outdoors.

I have 5 miniature dachshunds and simply was tired of letting dogs in and out all day long. I had bells on my door and they were trained to ring the bells when they needed to go out. This pat safe dog door was absolutely the best thing I’ve ever purchased for my dogs. I had it installed and have used for one year. It’s easy to clean. I did drill my door with the locks, as I felt that the adhesive just wasn’t secure enough to trust to hold the locks in place permanently.Since I always read reviews, I know how important it is when you’re pleased with a product to post your review. This dog door has been wonderful – 5 stars. In winter, when it’s bitter cold, I do put the slide door on so that cold air won’t leak in, so the dogs just ring the bells and I open the slide door for them. I want to order a replacement flap door so that I can ensure that after 12 months of use that a proper seal is maintained throughout the year. Weatherstripping on my affixed sliding glass door keeps the bitter cold out, and I replace that annually as well. If you’ve got small dogs, a 15″ door is perfect. My largest dachshund is 17 pounds and he doesn’t have any problems going in or out. I’m a very pleased customer.
