We have a 78 lb Doberman that's pretty tall. Would this doggie door work for him?

yes it would work, i have an 80lb boxer that fits through easy, mount it a little higher and they will step through just fine..i would suggest to attach the door, pre-drill holes throughout and use rivets to hold it together, it will come apart if you dont

It might be a little small. I have a 20 lb Bichon and she fits through it easily. Also, I had to buy nuts and covered bolts and attach it that way. The item would not stay stuck together without it.

I think so, we purchased this door for my 13yr. old dog that had severe hip dysphasia and he was able to go in and out the door without problems.

We bought the extra large doggy door I am not sure of the measurements for it. Our dog is about 95lbs and he barely fits in it

My dog weighs about 10 pounds and fits easily through the door, but a 30 pound dog would probably be on the upper limits for this door. I noticed that someone commented on their dog weighing 30 pounds and being able to use the door, so it sounds like it will work. If your dog is fully grown then you are probably ok to buy this.

This is a very large door! We have all sizes ranging from 8 lbs to a 130 lb Great Dane and it can take the abuse! It was a pain to put in, because of location we chose, but I highly recommend it!

I don't think this would work - the opening is 25" tall - my German Shepherd loves it and its perfect for her, she's only 70 pounds.

When I installed this door I had a Bullmastiff mix (90+ lbs.) a Bichon (11 lbs.) and a Shih Tzu (15 lbs.) The ShihTzu has since passed but she had no problem using it until the day she died. The bottom of the door is 10 inches from the floor. None of the dogs have ever had a problem using it at all. The little ones have to hop up a little but that's not nearly as high as getting on the couch or bed.

We have a 60 lb. husky mix who fits just fine through the doggy door. He is just about 10 months old so he will probably get even bigger and I don't think it will be a problem.

I would sure think so. The door is made of Lexan do it's very stout. The only way they could get in is with the dog and his collar.

We have a schnoodle, about 18 lbs, and a smaller maltipoo, and the door is big enough for them to practicality go through side by side. In fact, we have a toddler (24 lbs) and he has used the doggie door with no issues. The flap measurement is accurate. I would suggest cutting a hole in a cardboard box the correct size, and testing it with your dog. I do suggest that you be ready to purchase additional weatherstripping, as what's included is inadequate.

It doesn't take any real force to open the door. However, I am not familiar with what a dog that size is capable of. Maybe he wouldn't be able to manage going through the opening. I wonder if you might be better off getting the smaller cat door.

My door is about 50 lbs or so. It is a 7 foot door and thicker than normal (1 5/8") so it is robust! A shorter door, same weight, might work.

I installed the door, our dog is also about 26" tall and very broad, he has no problem going through

It should work. I have a dachshund that is long and weighs 24lbs. He seems just fine in it.

My dog is 75 lbs Labrador mix. She is quite tall as well. She uses door day in and day out. It's been over 6 months and still works great. Only complain I have is that the door flap is really not air tight. I can feel drafts of air especially when it's too cold or too hot, it makes huge difference.

It should work. I have a very strong 20 pound schnauzer who has mastered opening cabinets. It's a very sturdy gate and latch would be difficult if not impossible for a dog to open. Very easy to install. Good luck

I am going to say no. I have a medium size cat and its a bit tight. Probably should go to the next size for a dog. That said these are very nice doors and are fairly sturdy.
