Door Buddy Grey Dog Door Strap

This is a really great product. It's so simple, easy to install, and works exactly how you'd hope. This company has two versions of the door buddy: 1. This strap version, which just sticks to the door and frame with strong adhesive. So it requires no tools at all to install, just takes a minute or two, and seems to hold very well. It can be removed without any damage. It does require you to lift and replace the latch each time you use the door. That means you have to remember to relatch it every time (and you have to trust other family members to relatch it...kids, husband, etc.). But, it also means you can fully close the door whenever you need to. 2. The is a more rigid, plastic version as well. This one is also very easy to install. My six-year-old wanted to do it, so I let her, and she was able to install it easily (and had fun doing it). You just use a screwdriver to remove the door plate. Then you replace it with this product. Done. Now you can open and close the door with the doorknob just like you'd use any door. This one is very convenient because you don't have to remember to relatch anything (or trust anyone else in the house to remember). You just use the door as normal. The downside here is that you cannot close the door fully while this is installed. So, I have both versions of the product. Right now, I have an adult cat and a new kitten. I also have a dog, who likes to get into the litterbox, if given the chance (yuck). The cat's litterbox is in the laundry room. I have the rigid version on the laundry room door. It works great. When we added the kitten, we made a little space for her in the guest bathroom with her own litterbox in there. I bought the soft strap version. I don't love having to reattach it each time, but I needed to be able to fully close the bathroom door sometimes (so it can be a usable bathroom for humans, and also so I can sometimes close the kitten in there to keep her safe while we're gone). Anyway, I'm just really glad this product exists. It's such a simple, affordable device that solved a very practical problem.

The Door Buddy Pet Door Latch for Cats (Grey) has been absolutely perfect for our basement door setup. We needed a way to keep the dog out of the litter box area, but adding a gate at the top of the stairs would have made carrying laundry up and down really dangerous. This was such a smart and simple solution. It allows the door to stay cracked just enough for the cats to slip through, while keeping the dog out. And let’s be honest — kitties hate closed doors! This gives them the freedom they want while still maintaining separation where we need it. I especially love that you can easily lift the latch up to open the door normally. It’s quick and convenient when we need full access. Another thoughtful touch is that it includes instructions for removing the adhesive if needed, which gave me extra confidence installing it. Overall, it’s easy to use, effective, and much safer than a gate in our situation. Highly recommend for multi-pet households!

5 Stars - Does exactly what it's supposed to do! I got this so my cats could get into a room without the dog following. The strap is very durable and strong - my dog has tried to push through it several times and it hasn't budged. Great quality and does the job perfectly

Works well as intended. Allows my cat privacy in the laundry room! Didn't give it 5 stars because is is pricey for what it is.

It’s great. My roommate’s dogs kept getting into my cat’s litter box. Now my cat can get in and out without me worrying about them. I used the less stable method to apply it to my door (there’s two ways to install it) because it’s in a weird spot and it still works just as well.

Keeps my puppy out and is very durable. I’ve had this in 2 houses and love how discrete it is. Does not come off either until you want it to.

Need to keep a large dog out of the room where we keep the kitty litter box. It's working for us however, I would just like to caution that if a large dog really wanted in, they could possibly bust through since the strap is only held on by stickers. The package says it will hold up to 50 lbs of pressure which isn't much when you are using even a small amount of puch force. But when our dog sees the door is partially closed, she doesn't even bother. And I think if she tried to nudge it, and sees that it won't open, she will just go on her way. But a big dog hellbent on eating cat poop might be more aggressive and might be able to pull it off. But it was cheap enough to be worth a shot for us and it's workning fine.

To preface, I have 2 dogs: a terrier that is about 50lbs and an australian shepherd dog that is roughly 40lbs. I also own 3 cats. I put 2 of these in my basement to create cat areas so my dogs can leave them alone. occasionally though I have people over and one of the cat rooms is also the 'hang out' area where people can watch movies etc. I put one on the aforementioned room and another on the laundry room door. I followed the instructions and cleaned each area with 90% isopropyl alcohol. I left both to cure for 24 hours. my larger dog didn't really want to try to go through it so I thought it was a success. however, she stuck her snoot in the door crack and the adhesive just popped off and she welcomed herself into the room. the same thing happened to the laundry room with the smaller dog who welcomed herself to cat food (and crap from the litter box... she's a little touched). I tried mounting it in a different configuration and it really didn't bode much better. I considered screwing it to the door and then it came to me if I wanted to screw it to the door, I'd buy something more appropriate. in any case, my dogs are not BIG big but are big enough and they went through these with minimal effort. if the dog was a bit smaller, they would probably be able to get through the crack the same as a cat would (maybe with a little persistence). I have a return pending for these but lost the box so the refund probably won't post. if your dog is a bit larger than your cat but maybe less than 25lbs, it might work for you... or not. I'm sure a pug with a good charge can probably blast through this (I had a pug dachshund before and this guy climbed a 6' tall baking rack. RIP you completely bonkers pupper). if you're using this to protect a room from a baby, it depends on if the baby has the ability to charge a door or has evolved enough to use simple tools to get through. all in all, I bought 2 and both ended within a week of using them. ah well.

I have two cats(brother and sister) and one shared automatic feeder. My male cat was eating all the food dispensed from the feeder and my female cat going without. Luckily I spotted what was happening when my female cat begging for food 24/7 and the male cat gorging on all the food then throwing up. This lovely device has solved my problems. I’ve segregated their feeds in two different rooms and my male cat having become rather porky can’t squeeze through the slim door (adjusted by this fabulous device). It arrived in just 6 hours from ordering and took literally 2 seconds to fix. It’s solid and doesn’t budge. The door opening can be easily adjusted to suit the size of your cat or dog. Definitely recommend this product. It’s a lot cheaper than buying microchipped food dispensers (priced around £100 each). I’d give it 11/10

J'ai donné une seconde chance à ce produit en en achetant un deuxième lorsque le premier à casser. Mais au final, celui-ci n'a pas tenu plus de quelques semaines. En soit, le concept est bien et les adhésifs collent bien mais dans les deux cas, l'accroche en plastique a finit par casser. Pourtant mon chien n'insistait pas plus que ça. Il tentait de passer, voyait qu'il ne pouvait pas et donc faisait demi-tour. Mais à force, l'accroche a cassé à chaque fois. A déconseiller pour les gros chien ou les chiens un peu costaud.

Perfecto! Lo quería para cerrar mi balcón desde fuera para que no saltase la gata por la ventana. És muy muy fácil de enganchar y muy cómoda de "abrir y cerrar".

This helped keep my dog out of the cat’s food as well as keep my toddler out. Great product

Die Riemen halten meinen 25 kg jungund Labbi davon ab das Katzenklo leer zu essen, als er mir allerdings meinen Pancake geklaut hat, hat er die Tür doch gesprengt. Aber das waren ja auch erschwerte Umstände.
