I have a German Shepherd and 3 Chihuahuas. If I get a door big enough for the Shepherd, will the Chihuahuas be able to push through it too?

our house cat has no problem going through our door with 2 golden retrievers and a 120# yellow lab

The shepherd will probably not fit, but the chihauhuas will. I have cats that push this door open, so I don't think your chihuahuas will have any trouble.

I think so! Just make sure you install it lower on the door. That's what we did for our three.

They should be able to, you just need to teach them to keep pushing forward because they might not be used to the double flap.

The holes are probably big enough for a small chihuahua to find a way through. I have large dogs and this works great for me.

My dog is that height and 27# and "flies" through the door at full speed. He is a miniature schnauzer. He has not taken it easy with this door at all and it still shuts perfect every time. I have two miniature schnauzers, the second being a bit smaller. She is just as rough on the door. Worth every penny.

Mary, it all depends on the size of your dogs. If you think they will fit through the medium-sized opening as described, there should not be any problem. Most dogs learn very quickly how to enter and exit this pet door...and it definitely seals out the outside environment due to its double-door construction. Enjoy!

Absolutely, my cocker spaniel is about 30 pounds and goes in and out of it very easily. Just make sure you measure the location you want the screen door based on the height of your pug's legs.

We have a Scotty and she is able to go through this door but it is probably the largest dog I would say is able to use it without having to squeeze through.

Yes, and any critter smaller than a medium German Shepherd. As it usually goes at the bottom of a door, nothing can prevent them from climbing the screen up to the top of the door. You might need two of them.

Yes, you can walk through the door. it is not connected on the top like some are with just a "doggie door" in it.

I use this size for my Cocker Spaniels... They weigh 19-24 pounds. I would think size small would work better for you. You could use this door even though it's bigger than you need. My puppies go thru this door just fine. Hope that helps!!!

I will chime in and also add that I believe that this will work for your dog. We have 2 bischon-poodles mix pups that are about the 18-22 pound range. This door is perfect in every way. My bro-in-law has a 80-90 lb black lab that squeezed himself through the door a couple of times because he saw the smaller dogs do it. Anything bigger than 50-60 lbs would be too big for this door IMO. Anything less is great

I have a yellow lab-vizsla mix. he weighs 85 to 90 pounds and gets through easily. What I would do is measure the width of you rotties chest because the your dog will have about a foot of room to easily get through. Anything wider than thar could be a squeeze. The height should not present a problem. my friend has a mastiff bloodhound mix that went through my door once but hasn't tried it since. I am guessing it was uncomfortable. This is a great door and very durable.

My shepherd was heavy but also taller than the average. She is gone now or I would measure her for you. She had to sort of crawl her way through but she made it with no problem. She loved the door.

Yes this house will work it is plenty big for a German Shepard or any dog growing big. The only thing I did different with this house was not put on the flabbing door. I never could get the door to stay on one of the sides it was like one of the screws that was included wasn't the same as the other ones but my dog still gets in there it took him awhile but he eventually did.

Larger dogs. I have a 75 lb lab and a 40 lb mutt and they both love the ability to use the door.

Not at all. My 75lbs Golden Retriever does try to force it. After awhile, she waits for the 'click' before she even tries it. When closes, it lowers on a groove all the way around. Seems very secure, and somewhat weather tight. This door is awesome.

I have three German Shepherds and they cannot get through the door saver to either the glass or a screen. However, mine don't jump. Really sturdy velcro might work, but I'd wonder if they would be able to pull the saver off the velcro if they get their paws above it and claw it off. Clever, aren't they?

No problems so far, but we have small dogs. I knew a lab that ate through a screen door... So this might not prove much of a challenge. It's a great way to tote the pooches around, otherwise.
