"I secured it using 4 supplied screws that went through the existing track on the slider patio. The existing door lock had to be removed so the door would sit flush against the left side of the wall. The lock on the existing door doesn't work with the pet door, so they supply a lock you can install. Then, when you're sure the lock will be good, you can secure the door to the patio door frame."
"I did not drill anything, just leaving as is since I plan on taking it out each time I am gone for a while since its that easy to remove and put back."
"This is really the best option out there if you need a dog door and dont want to destroy your house."
"I first bought the Ideal Pet door (I like that the plastic on the flap was clear vs tinted, the was it is on this one) and my medium dog had a hard time climbing through the hole because it was so high off the floor. So I went to Lowes to see if they carried their version of a patio dog door and they did - made by PerSafe (I ended up buying it there)."
"I am posting a review here for the benefit of those with Large Dogs... just because this door says "Large" realize there are large dogs and LARGE dogs... also not-so-large dogs that have long legs (like my Boxer)."

"This is a well-made pet steps."
"These were what I needed when I ordered them but in that very short time it took to get to me I no longer needed them."
"I bought for my oldest dog who has troubles but now even the younger one is using it in preference for leaping up on the sofa so I pleased with it."
"We bought them as a test to see if our grumpy, lazy, biting, arthritic cat would even use stairs. Now that I know my cat will use stairs, I'll probably buy a more expensive and aesthetically pleasing model for the couch in the living room. But seriously, these are a good deal given the price of other models, so it's easy to overlook the appearance if your cat needs a little boost."
"After he was diagnosed (just 2 weeks ago) my husband was researching online for something that wasn't so scary for him and he came across these steps. The only downside I would have to say is that the angle or the slope of the step when coming down in a little unsure for him, it has a slight decline, like a slide, but I propped it up at the base and made it a flat level and it works perfectly."
"Today, the cheap posts that connect the step to the sides completely snapped and he fell into the step!"
"They are strong enough to support him, but they are way too narrow (in width and depth) for him to safely navigate. The directions have all the wrong letters indicated, but it's so simple that's not a big deal."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I definitely prefer the ABO to the Feline Fun House. The one and only time I tried to break down the Feline Fun House, I spent 30 minutes trying to follow the "easy" break down directions, and ended up bending the support wires, and the Feline Funhouse never opened up fully again (since I accidentally bent the supports, in trying to break it down, to transport it.). There is no way the Feline Fun House would ever fit into the bag it came in when you try to break it down. The Feline Fun House has parts that are made of blue fabric that your cat can not see through. The ABO is definitely larger then the Feline Fun House, in that it is taller. My cat has discovered that if you run into the sides of the tent, it moves (as does the Feline Fun House)."
"I've been wanting to purchase something for my indoor cats to safely enjoy the outdoors for years. I was surprised and thought at least one cat would be frightened, eager to return inside, or desperately trying to figure a way out. Please consider purchasing this or a similar item for your indoor cats to enrich their lives. I can't speak to durability with cat escape attempts, since my elderly cats have been very content to just sit and enjoy themselves. My 15-year old tuxedo cat Cooper recently passed away, and I am SO incredibly thankful for this product as he was able to more richly enjoy his final years, stretching himself out in the direct sunlight as cats should."
"You just grab the strings at the top and pull about 10 inches and the thing just pops open."
"Update August 23, 2017: I'm lazy and started leaving it set up all the time instead of taking it down when they aren't using it. Being exposed to full sun all day has caused it to fade, and the fabric sleeve on one of the supports is about an inch from tearing completely. It was an excellent price and helped me determine if my cats enjoyed being outdoors."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"After a good deal of talk, most of which involved convincing us that this was a new type of collar that was non-toxic, would cover the entire pet and not kill fleas Only at the neck, and could power through several months... We decided to give it a chance. This decision was in part because we had a new rescue kitty that had a very bad allergic reaction to topical flea treatments. We began stocking them shortly after and have heard nothing but praise from staff and clients since then. One of our dogs has allergies to grass and beef, among other things, that cause his ears and skin to turn bright pink and itch like crazy; while another of our dogs has such a severe reaction to turkey that her entire face begins to swell up. Do you have any idea how many people are allergic to Aspirin or other medications or foods? Visit your veterinarian and have an allergy test done for each pet, primarily if you see constant itching or bald spots. Believe us, we see so much suffering, intentional and unintentional, in this line of work and it never fails to move us."
"When the flea collar arrived we immediately put it around Kyo's neck and it was awkward for him since he never wears collars and he was acting strange but after an hour or so he realized what it was, within 2 hours he stopped itching excessively. We checked his neck every day for the first two weeks just in case he was starting to get an allergic reaction. Too bad my Kyo ended up breaking them lol. Update: the collar stopped working at 5 months."
"We kept a close eye on the animals (all young and healthy) after three days one cat suddenly had hair loss and abrasions on her neck. Three days in the collar was enough to rid our cat of her fleas!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"About a year ago, my boyfriend and I adopted a six month old kitten and of course, we needed a carrier for her, so we got a smaller Petmate carrier. The biggest plus is that not only can a cat sit up in this carrier, both of our cats fit comfortably in it with plenty of room to move around. The cats stayed in the carrier for the majority of the trip to Minnesota, but I think that had to do with them feeling more comfortable in the carrier than out in the open car since we would leave the carrier open at home and let them explore as they wanted. Once our kitten had reached adult size, we bought another one of these carriers and currently use both when traveling or taking the cats to the vet. We could probably manage to use one carrier for both cats when making short trips, the vet's office for example, but the carrier can get quite heavy and hard to carry with two cats inside."
"I was having a hard time finding something I liked, was a decent price and big enough but not too big. He's never had a crate before but surprisingly seems to like it, I have it left out for him to come and go as he pleases so when its time to shut him in maybe it won't be so traumatic (He has a very hard time traveling!)."
"Having just adopted brother and sister kittens that are so adorable they deserve nothing but the best, I chose the Petmate two door top load pet kennel."
"The top loading and side loading is great."
"This is a good size for a kitten or toy size puppy."
"It is also a pretty big carrier, so if you have a larger cat I would suggest getting this. The top loading door is also pretty sturdy, I was worried that it would bend when I picked up the carrier but I've had no problems with it moving at all."

Find Best Price at Amazon"After doing extensive research, I found out what is really important in a scratching post is size, it must be big and tall so that the cat can stretch out. It must be sturdy, so the cat cannot easily knock it over, and it should have a favorable scratching material (sisal is preferable). A few notes - you can buy a topper for this scratching post so that your cat has a comfy perch to sit on. I simply got a piece of wood (you can size however you wish, mine is a nice square fit to her size), added a piece of foam and upholstered fabric on top! It might just solve your problem if your cat wont stop scratching all your furniture! One more thing - my cat plays hard on this post and uses it multiple times a day."
"After purchasing a Meow Town Sisal Scratch N' Stow Scratching Cat Post, Natural a while back, I commented that my cats loved it, but it wasn't tall enough for my biggest cat to really stretch while scratching. The scratching post mentioned above was on its last legs--my cats loved it so much, they ended up basically tearing its sisal covering apart. Then there are two screws to attach the base to the scratching post; they're large, so even though they're Phillips-head screws you can use either a Phillips- or flat-head screwdriver. One by one my six cats explored it, scratched it, rubbed it, just generally loved it."
"After reading the reviews and losing all of my security deposit (and then some) from my last apartment due to my cat's constant scratching of the woodwork, I decided to try this item. When he would scratch the woodwork, I would place him at the post and he not only showed no interest in the post, but even retracted his claws as a further insult. Then I remembered that one of the posts I read in the reviews was from a lady who had the same disinterested reaction from her cat and who enticed her cat to scratch the post by teasing the cat with his favorite swinging cat toy on top of and around the post."

The ScatMat is barely visible and if I drape the throw appropriately the power box is easily hidden. For the love of all that's holy, do NOT EVER think to place your two fingers on the two round metal cord attachment thingies while device is activated & holding a sweaty wine glass in the other hand."
"I've got two cats, the younger freaked out and the bigger one sort of bullied him when establishing their places in the new house. I tried the sprays, the diffusers, the treats, heck i even bought him a thunder jacket (he wormed his way right out of that) and spoke to a cat whisperer (better known as a behaviorist). I was at my wits end and a petshop and mentioned these scat mats. First, the bigger of the cats (baby huey, but NOT the violator) jumped on it and nothing happened. Boy did i get the cold hard stare of pure evil. I was even able to move the littler box in the hallway near the sofa (Another attempt to wean him off the couch), into the garage where they have a cat door and ample litter boxes. I know he stopped because no more pee, and i even bought a little camera to record when they got near the couch."
"When it stopped working within about one month of use, my kitty cat had already become savvy to the mat so she wasn't causing any more loud door banging bedtime behavior! Fast forward late last year and my kitty, alas, had gone back to her prior behavior so I thought - time to use the mat again."

"As I removed it from the packaging, my two 3 month old kittens materialized out of nowhere, two pairs of eyes wide as saucers staring the toy down, little bodies tense and trembling with barely contained excitement as they waited for it to do something...then when I moved it around a bit, there was such an explosion of ferocious energy as they tried to snare it in their paws, teeth, and wrestle it to the floor...even if it is just lying around, one of them will drag it while the other pounces on its sinuously trailing ribbon."
"Free Cat is a very active Siamese who is always stalking something around the house or in the yard....shoe laces, leaves, lizards, a dog's tail, etc."
"It is really well-constructed; the handle will bend but not break when my cat pulls on it and the seam where the fleece meets the handle is really strong and sturdy."
"The name is appropriate as it has got my older cats jumping and dancing with its extra long swishing cloth which is wide enough to provide movement and interest."
"Our (slightly overweight cat) loves this toy. She loves it so much we ordered a second one, so we could have one available upstairs and down."
"It also seems to be a toy that he can really sink his teeth into, which is great, considering that he's going through the teething stage and everything seems to be a chew toy, including my toes, fingers, etc."
"But even the older cat, whose idea of playing is to bat at a catnip toy with a desultory wave, jumps up in the air to try to catch it. The entire toy is a long strip of stretchy fabric, so they can grab it at any point along the way. You can wave it at the cat from a few feet away, without having to lean over and get a crick in your back (which you will, because based on my evidence THEY are not going to get tired before you do)."

"It's my first time living on my own with a pet, and I was concerned that my small apartment would smell like a litter box (as many do), and that I'd have to constantly move her box in and out of the shower or the patio to avoid a mess. I only dispose of the used litter when I'm opening a new bag. It clumps so well that I haven't ever had the feeling that I needed to clean out the box, so I will continue to top it off when it gets low until my bag runs out. This is the first non-flushable litter that I've had and I was concerned that I'm too lazy for a non-flushable, but combined with the Litter Genie I spend about 20 seconds scooping each day, and another 10 minutes to clean out the box each time I buy a new bag."
"I feel like this company is selling the good quality litter to the other stores and selling the subpar litter to Amazon customers to cut some costs. Amazon doesn't check on the quality of the products it's sending out due to the massive inventory / volume of sales and this particular product already has high ratings so this company can cut some costs and sell the bad quality litter through Amazon every now and then."
"Litter and cleaning litter boxes is something I feel like I'm an expert in by now (having been an indoor cat owner for almost twenty-five years). I tried it, the corn/wheat based stuff, other synthetic types, and as I whittled down which litters were the best, this one, by far, was the absolute best when it came to odor, dust, tracking, and general enjoyment (I don't really say that with a straight face, as litter boxes are anything but enjoyable, but Precious Cat made the daily job far, far more enjoyable than before). The minimal tracking qualities of this litter has also shifted, and where I could do little easy spot cleanups daily as I cleaned the boxes, I now have to vacuum every other day as this stuff is all over the house (it's not pleasant to find it UNDER the fitted sheet on a bed, since the cats love to get on the bed before it gets made when we change the sheets/blankets)."

We look across the street by the highway we were walking along and see this pathetic little kitten curled up shaking as cars are whizzing by. (There was an empty box next to him as well) When we put him down and attempted to walk away hoping he would go home this screaming and clearly limping tiny mess came hobbling back up to us and our giant Great Dane. We set him up outside with food and water and watched him as he ravenously consumed as much as he could get down within minutes. The little kitten that doubled in size in two weeks was now losing all his hair and living in our bathroom until a solution could be found. Finally I found this cat home from the company I get my bird products from. Pros: Easy to assemble. Size Matters - room to sleep, play, dine, and use the kitty facilities. Hammocks are durable and easy to wash. Shelf Liners are easy to remove and wash. Spacing between bars is safe. Large door openings allow for easy access on each level. Provides a go to "safe zone" for your kitty. Gives you and your kitty Time to work together. Price = good. Cons: One of the Metal connectors had to be "forced" into place. There really isn't anything I can find that would be cause to dislike this product. The next time someone says "I don't know what to do, my cat is ruining my belongings" or "I can't keep him anymore, (s)he pees on everything"."
"Their casters can't handle to the weight of the pen and will ruin the bottom black piece if you try and push the pen/cage around on carpet. BEWARE: My son put the pen together and he was complaining that in the directions it didn't tell you that the front panel door pieces and the lower bottom back piece have to be put together in a certain order so he had to take the thing apart to put the correct bottom pieces on."
"I didn't notice the damage until the rest of the cage was unpacked and built because the base was on the bottom. There's a small area that broke from shipping because of the bars pressing against it. We're talking, breaking reptile tanks and fish tanks, chewing every cord and wire they can possibly find, counter surfing, tearing up the couch, etc. I'm terrified I'm going to come home one day and the whole cage is going to be laying face down on the ground with injured cats. I looked for new wheels but my hardware store didn't have any of the proper size."

Always choosing the size by the measurement of your pet (The chest girth and back length),not the weight or breeds simply. Back length: Measure length of pet's back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. If any of the measurements are 'between' two sizes, choose the larger size. If your measurements are toward the upper end of the range given for a particular size, you may also want to choose the larger size, as you may also wish to do for heavily coated dogs to accommodate all that fur.

I suddenly realized that for this rescue dog, who was intensely insecure when I got her last March, this snug sweater gives her a sense of security ... just as a "thunder blanket" reassures dogs that are terrified of thunder."
"( he hates everything else and Will refuse to walk) I really loved the thickness of this doggie pj set."
"I saw comments about the legs being short but now I understand why, the kind of have to be.. if the legs weren’t short then when they curl up to sleep their legs would either get stuck or come out of the leg hole."
"Bought a medium for my mom's 7lb Maltese because the heater is broken in the house and the pup shivers constantly."
"I'm keeping it in hopes of cutting off the back legs of the sweater, because it really is a nice warm sweater and my cat shivers but doesn't want to go inside when I take her out on the leash."
"Our dog looks so cute in this."

You cannot expect any flea product to completely rid your home of them. It takes a minimum of 3 months to completely get rid of them if you actively fight against the fleas. You need to vacuum your floors and furniture every day at least for awhile. You also need to keep up with your laundry and wash blankets regularly, including your bedding. If you bathe them before the product has time to set it, you just wasted your money. Vacuuming, washing, and spraying is what will combat the infestation. You CANNOT get rid of fleas completely in a short period of time so dont expect a miracle."
"One time I applied this product onto my older, white colored cat and it left an almost bald, reddened patch on his neck/back- it looked like a localized allergic reaction or contact dermatitis. It hasn’t happened again, and I have changed the application style to kind of dotting the product onto him on a larger area rather than one big blob."
"Caught a flea on my cat a week after applying a dose of this stuff, it was weak and close to death so I'm assuming it worked. Hopefully it continues working. Update: it's been a month and a half give or take since I've been using this stuff."
"The day after applying this to our large male cat a bright pink bald spot one inch wide appeared at the area where I had applied it."
"DO NOT BUY THIS MEDICATION, ADVANTAGE II LARGE CAT( I would suggest ALL sizes! ):Your Cat's hair will fall out, your Cat will scratch INCESANTLY until he/she develop's open lesions, that are not able to heal enough to go away because of the intense itching!!"
"Did nothing to get rid of the fleas and left a bald spot on the back of my cat's neck."

"It added it perfect touch to her burial site although I removes it often because I don't want her picture to her Rained on.. it does come with a plastic shield for protection of picture & I enforced with whole plastic.. really probably move it because she was the perfect dog an I love to watch her on my porch beside me.. it's perfect!!"
"I think there should be some kind a a retainer to hold the picture in more firmly, but other than that, I am well pleased."
"I recommend this stone for anyone wanting to keep their baby in their heart."
"Had that same problem 10 years ago when we lost our first dog, but it is beautiful!!"
"This was a wonderful gift for my husband who just lost his beloved "Bubba"."
"I wanted him to be able to see it from the porch out by the tree where the grave is and it's perfect! My dad may just want to keep it in the house and we'll have to get another type of grave marker."
"This was a cute idea to give to my mom who had to put her dog to sleep."

Any whoo to make a long story slightly less long, I just went to go change my cats water in the water fountain expecting to need to clean the gross slime out.... And guess what... NO SLIME..."
"I believe the key to this success is the cleaning of the fountain AND the pump. This allows us to clean the gunk that gets built up inside the fountain. Then remove the front, and place pump in a cup of warm water with a tsp of powder dish detergent. This circulates the water and detergent to clean the spinning mechanism inside. If your pump is so bad the spinning mechanism does not spin, simply soak the pump in the water and detergent for a couple of hours, then flush well with clean water and try again."
"I have three small/medium sized dogs and a cat, living together, and drinking from the same fountain without complaint. The replacement filters are easy to find, and are usually cheapest here on Amazon with an order eligible for free shipping. They are easy to change out, simply pull out the old one from the top, drop in the new (make sure to rinse it under the faucet first to wash away loose carbon soot). When running very low, it can emit a buzzing vibration sound from the pump, which acts as a decent reminder to refill. It has a large, clear reservoir tank to easily see how much water is left. The reservoir tank is also easy to remove and refill, with minimal spillage while doing so. For some senior folks, or those with limited arm strength, this could be a real problem. Sounds simple to do, but the inside of this fountain is the exact opposite of the outer design. There are so many little nooks and crannies for debris and bacteria to collect in, and sharp internal corners abound. It is easy enough to break it down into smaller components, But these parts themselves contain sharp internal corners too small for my average-sized hands to reach. after almost four years of continuous 24 hour use, with the exception of regular cleaning and maintenance, my pump has finally died."
