In case you have more than one pet, make sure that the step-over height is low for the smaller pet, while the maximum height of the flap should allow the tallest pet to get through as well.
For the best fit, we recommend measuring your pet to ensure that their dog flap will fit them.
We've also made the following graphic for you to find the perfect size for your pet. Just find their breed, and see what size they use! It's worth noting that this is only referential, and heights can vary within a breed. The best thing to do is measure measure measure!
