It seems like the 9 3/4" width would be difficult for a large dog to get in and out. Is there any problem with this?

We have a 105 lb. chocolate Lab that runs through the door with no problem at all. It's a nice door, seems sturdy and does keep the cold out even below 0.

We have a border collie and it works perfect for her. Not sure for a bigger dog

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.

We have two 60 lb dogs who go in and out with no problem. I don't know if a dog much larger than that could fit very well though.

My dog weighs about 50 lbs and she has plenty of room. A larger dog should have no problem. I'm an 5'2" average size person and I could likely fit thru :)

Dependsw on what you mean by 'Large': both my 60 lb Vizsla and my sister's 70 lb Golden Retriever make it through the door without hesitation. Marmaduke of Clifford might have issues though:) Good luck.

My daughter's golden retriever uses it, and I also had company with a pit bull that used it.

The installation would be very simple. Just make sure the door is large enough for your dog. The one in the picture is NOT the one I got. Mine said large on it. but my dog would have never fit through it.

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 wouldn't suggest it for that large of dog, I have a 80 pound husky and he has to duck to get in it. There is plenty of room to curl up for him but none to stretch out, but I just bought it to let him have shelter in inclement weather we have in the Midwest as he almost refuses to come inside now that it is getting cold. It is well built and comes fully assembled, very good plus.

No my 9 lb yorkie barely fits and have forgotten to send it back....I got it and it had no security leash clip inside to keep the dog from jumping out. Not worth the money

This is more sturdy than it looks. I would think if used as pictured (8 section) here for a 60" dog it would be roomy enough. Used as a 4 section would NOT be large enough. Keep in mind the sections height and your dog's jumping ability, because I have had dogs jump out of this. I use this for 8wk - 4mo old foster pups and some of the larger pups have escaped.

the door to this one is a bit flimsy and there is a gap at the bottom. If he is the type to try to escape I probably wouldn't trust this one! I have another large crate made by Petmate that is very sturdy. I would probably go with that brand. And you might want to go with a larger size. My largest dog is 55 pounds.

Maybe but it'd be a tight. My 30lb terrier mix fit upon it comfortably, but she never actually used it. She stepped on it, sniffed it, and totally snubbed it. Never stepped on it again. I packed it up that day to send it back.

When a dog is resting on it, the buckles may slip and unfold. Unfolded it would be quite comfortable, but not that easy to clean. But unfolded it would be large enough for the biggest of dogs.

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.

I think it would be uncomfortable and difficult to turn around in it. It is sturdy but canvas like and with a tighter fit it could generate movement when dog tries to turn and settle. My dog is 10 lbs and it is perfect for her.

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.

I think it would be a bit tight. My 10lb. Chihuahua fits but a larger dog may need a bit more space.

We have one (36x22x24) for our 60 lb boxer/bulldog mix. We leave one door open all the time when home. He cannot stand up in it but freely goes in for a nap. When we must leave him alone he stays in it quietly with the door latched. I think the trick is to put a bed inside and let them use it at will, then the "lock-up" is no big deal. The size does not bother him since he curls up on the bed.

I don't have a dog this large, but I think it would work for you, because the gate comes with four cups that you screw into your door jam that helps to hold it in place. It's pretty sturdy with those on.

Possibly. My biggest dog is just over 70lb and he gets through it with no problem. I would check manufacturer's website or call their customer service to be sure.

I would say Yes that a dog of any size would have difficulty climbing onto this board due to the thickness. The dog may not be able to get enough leverage to pull itself up out of the water.
