Upfront cost (pays for itself over time)
When we moved our dogs into their new home 5 years ago, we knew that a dog door was going to be high on the priority list of changes to make upon move in. We did a lot of research on the best door in terms of efficiency, size, and quality, and RANGER (Previously Freedom Pet Pass) checked all of the boxes.
The price was a bit of a cringe point, but it ended up paying for itself in durability over the years. Our three 60-75 pound dogs went in and out numerous times daily in weather ranging from single to triple digits, and rolled with the punches without fail. After 5 years there was some noticeable wear (cracking on leather & magnet strip) on the outside, but it didn’t impair the function of the flap, and we didn’t have to buy a single replacement during that time.
We recently moved, and some soapy water and a razor blade cleaned off all of the wet nose buildup to bring it back to looking good-as-new. Before the move to the new house, we purchased another RANGER door to be ready. We accidentally purchased the in-wall option instead of the in-door version, but RANGER was very good about accepting our return and refunding the purchase.
Superior quality, durability, and customer service make these doors a HIGH RECOMMEND!
