We live in Canada and required a dog door the could stand up to the harsh winter conditions. This door is definitely living up to the thermal quality claims. We purchased the X-Large Door Mount dog door and are very impressed with the product. The dogs learned to use the door very quickly and now have continual access to the outside. Since installing 3 months ago the door has been through wind, rain and snow storms with absolutely no issues. We would highly recommend this product.

Love my dog door!!
Has made my life so much easier.
Was easy to install and works as said.
I originally ordered the wrong door and Mr.Love was amazing and helped me resolve my issue quickly. Customers service was great and I couldn’t be happier with the product. Highly recommend.

I would like to leave 1 of 2 reviews. 1 being my installation experience, 2 will be in the Spring after a Canadian Winter.
For starters I was reluctant to spend the money, I read many a review and was convinced. I was tired of “extreme weather pet doors” that snapped off when the temperature got to freezing. First off, I love the fact that these doors are made in North America! The construction, quality and design are amazing. So far I feel no cold weather coming in.
I had a contractor put mine in, where I struggled is; I followed the instructions for dog size, and where to install the door according to dog height. Unfortunately I didn’t take into consideration one of my dogs arthritic back end. She didn’t have to bend her back, but half way through she cried and cried, she couldn’t lift up her back legs to get the rest of the way through. This door is larger then previous, but previous door was a lot lower, even though she bent her back. I was devastated and so upset with myself for not making allowances for her back end. I immediately built her a ramp on either side of the door and will adjust the doggy door lower in the spring for her. Please consider your pets health when installing.

I bought this door almost 5 years ago. I live in northen canada and -30°c or colder is queit common during the winter months. I wanted something that would keep the cold out and the heat in. It works great. Even when the wind howels out side, it doesnt let the cold in. I have had no problems with any of the parts or seal. Me and my bulldogs love this door.

We have had this door for the past two years for our two Shia Inu dogs and it works perfectly. We are in the process of moving to a new home and one of the first things on our list is to order another Freedom Pet Pass door.

I have a German Shorthaired Pointer that used to stand on her hind feet and open the door on her own. While I thought it was cool that she taught herself to do that she never closed it behind her. I tried to train her to close it but it didn’t work. It wasn’t a big problem in the spring and fall but in the winter and summer it was a little taxing on the HVAC system. I got another puppy and realized that I really needed a dog door. I got the large door mount door and the installation was a quick and easy. It took a little while for them to learn to use it but now I don’t know how I lived without it. I will say that when Gunner was a puppy he took things outside that I really didn’t want out in the snow… A queen size comforter comes to mind… and he tried to take the sofa cushions out but they got stuck in the door. That was the only time that I can say the door didn’t seal but that wasn’t the fault of the door. Gunner will turn 3 in July and we installed the door in the fall the year he was a puppy. Best money I ever spent. If I ever move I will either take my door with me or buy another one. The dog door seals better than the people door in which it is mounted.

I’ve had it a little over a year now and couldn’t be happier with it so far. I was reluctant at first because of the price but it was well worth the cost. We had a super cold winter last year and the door had a tight seal, I have to smile every time I hear it snap shut !! Now I have peace of mind that the girls can come and go as they please while I’m working 12 hour shifts. The only down side is I get extra dirty paw prints on the floor now ! Thanks for making this door.
Tracy Thompson –
I would like to thank you for the dog door which we received a while back, as you suggested we needed to add an additional strip to pack it out slightly due to the door’s thickness (30mm) which is the standard panel for a UPVC door panel.
The dogs have taken to using it very well, I didn’t think they would as the old one was a clear plastic panel which they could see through and the magnets were failing so there was no effort involved in getting in and out. I had my reservations as to how they would adapt but it only took 2 days. One dog would go out but wouldn’t come back in!!
Thank you again for a brilliant product, the house is so much warmer and to my surprise a lot quieter too.
Kind regards
Tracy

First of I want to thank you for selling such a wonderful quality product, We live in Northern Canada and your dog door is a exactly what you said it would be …….EFFICIENT! Dog loves it and so do we!

We have had the medium Freedom Pass pet door for 3 years now. After hours of research, we decided to go with Freedom Pass because of the airtight seal. I have two basset hounds who go in and out throughout the day and night. They and my husband and I LOVE this door!!!!! I cannot say enough good things about it. The seal is still good after 3 years. I do occasionally (maybe once every 3 months) clean the magnets and the door which is super easy to do just to remove any grime and keep it looking nice. no drafts, no bugs and no critters. The door is located directly to the left of my office desk (I work from home) and I can honestly say through the winter, there is absolutely NO draft from that door! Don’t waste your time and money with any other door!!!

I thought the door was rather expensive but it was worth every penny. It is very, very well built. Almost no air leakage. Dogs LOVE it. Could not be happier with it.
Jack Satterfield –
Thanks very much for the excellent dog door we ordered from you. We installed it as directed in the back door of our newly built home, and it has done a superlative job as the cold weather set in. We haven’t had a hint of draft so far, and our Welsh Springer Spaniel Bryce moves in and out with ease.
Great product, performing as advertised. Nice work!

I was searching for Dog door for long time, I got one that was nothing but a piece of plastic… then came across the Freedom pet pass door. The price was much higher than many of the other door but they promised different level of quality which I’m sooooo glad i trusted.
From the first contact all was seamless. I got immediate replies from Don very personal, informative amazing service which i fined very rare even when living in one of the most service oriented countries in the world -Japan. I myself ,a travel agent, and in the service business was very impressed with Don and his way that i dedicated one of my team meeting to his replies as an example of how service should be at it’s best.
The door works so well that i could not ask for better. even a small issue due to my wrong installation( Which by the way is also a very easy process) was solved with the kind advice of Don. The service and the product itself simply worth every dollar spent on and Don and his team makes sure the whole experience is smooth and veeeery pleasant- real pleasure !!! and I’m very happy i was not tempted for any other door compromise.

Have a large unit for my “small” 75 lb. huskie and 2 malamutes, one that is over 170 lb. They are in and out all day. After 3 years of abuse, I think I need to buy the replacement flap and seal. Despite the fact they pull one side of the seal off from time to time, it is a easy repair to reattach. Very durable and excellent seal. Have had competitor’s product and I think this one is the best. Worth the extra money in the long run.

I have had a medium door mounted dog door for the last 2 years and it is icredible compared to the other dog doors I have used. I am about to buy a second one.
Igor Kagonovich –
Greetings from Russia! Thank you very much for nice product and service. The door is already installed and dog is using it right away.

i know this seems like a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a dog door (and seriously, they are REAL PROUD of these things), but i am not kidding you, this is one of the best purchases i ever made. i have had it for almost 2 years now with my very energetic golden retriever and beagle, and it still looks and performs like brand new (needs to be wiped clean occasionally). it seals TIGHT… no air is getting past this thing. and even the hardest wind has never blown it open.
the locking door is super easy to put on – you dont have to try to slide it perfectly straight into little side grooves.
it’s also relatively quiet. it “snaps” shut, but i’ve had doors in the past that would swing back and forth 4 or 5 times before finally settling into place.
the only problem i’ve had is that it’s not clear (see-through), so my dogs would stick their heads through it and just look around to see what’s going on on the other side of the door… not very energy efficient when it’s being held open by a dog’s head! but with some training, they’ve learned pretty well to stop doing that. and i do worry a little about head-on collisions since they both run through it at 90 mph. if one of them is coming in and the other is going out (or standing there in front of it), someone is liable to get knocked out cold.
it’s expensive, but i don’t think i will EVER need to replace ANY part of it. (other vinyl and plastic doors i tried had to be replaced every couple of years)
Quick update: been almost 6 years and it still works perfectly. No leaks, never had to repair or replace any part of it.

I wanted to share — I love the pet door I ordered from Freedom Pet Pass. The door is so much better than the one I had before (2 see-thru flaps with magnets at the bottom). You advertisement is right on target – no wind or rain is coming in through your door! Thank you for such a wonderful product. I’m recommending it to several others I know who have thought about installing a dog door!

Your door replaced the original door and we removed the Larson Storm Door. The Mud room instantly increased in Temp and the drafts are now gone.

Absolute garbage. Would have given 0 stars if there was an option. Bought this 3 mo ago as an upgrade from and IdealPet door. The house has a large porch and it is in the Arizona desert. We get storms during the summer and the winds can be strong but nothing like a tornado or a hurricane. The flap on the door does not stay shut as advertised but rather blows right open. Moreover, the quality of the materials used on this door is pure garbage. The concept is good and it is made in the US but it’s not made right. For the money, this is unacceptable. To top it off, it is very ugly. Mercedes price and 80’s Hyundai quality. The company’s customer service is a joke. They are arrogant and do not go the extra mile to cater to the customer. Replacement parts for the door are very expensive and they do not last. We have 4 dogs, the door already looks like it’s been there years and not just a few months. Will replace the back door to the house this pretend dog door was installed into and revert back to the IdealPet door. Please do not waste your money on this product.
Freedom Pet Pass Response: Mr. Zamfir contacted us, informing us that his dog had chewed / pulled his door apart. While damage due to destructive pet behavior is not covered by our warranty, we still issued him a coupon code for the relevant replacement part and gave him some tips for curbing that bad behavior. He redeemed the code, but never contacted us again except to leave this negative review

Hey you dogs – You made the most amazing dog door. It’s been installed in my kitchen door for about 3-months now and never blows open in the wind. I live in an extremely windy area outside of Flagstaff AZ and it has passed (stayed closed) through 50mph winds! House may creak in the wind by the dog door stays securely shut. Thank you for making the most amazing and functional door. All 12-paws are very happy!

Best Pet Door EVER. I bought this door in the summer and wanted to wait until winter was upon us to write an accurate review. We live in Upstate NY and to say this winter has been bitterly cold is an understatement. 24 of the 28 days in February were below freezing (most days being in the single digits) and very windy and snowy as well. To say this door performed as described is an understatement. During all of the storms we endured, this door never moved once unless one of the dogs was going thru it. Not even a little bit. We have 2 labs and a small terrier and it’s not a problem for any of them to navigate through the flap. Wish I had invested in this door years ago. Worth every penny.

Just installed my door and really works and seals out wind as promised! Installation took approx 1 Hr. I researched all the doors on the market and chose this one and i am very glad i did.
Anonymous Customer –
Hello! The door was delivered in a timely manner and my neighbor, who is a handy-man, was able to install if for me in less than an hour! My beastie boyz love having their dog door back and the timing was perfect now that the weather is getting colder!

could not be happier with this door. rugged and energy efficient, Had to retrain my smaller dog to use it, but it works great and has made a huge difference in my house.
Kate Leese –
The only place I had room for an in-door dog door was my kitchen in an open concept livingroom. I was warned by a ton of people that I shouldn’t install a dog door because my whole main level would always be cold and drafty (I live in michigan). I searched forever for a door that would be energy efficient and not let cold air in and am so glad I found this! Almost a year later the door works great and still seals airtight. I think it’s even less drafty than having to open an actual door to let my dog out! Great product, I will buy again
Luc Leonard –
This is the ultimate pet door and worth every cent. It’s never opened under high winds or let in any rain or snow. It’s super easy to install and looks good. It’s the only door that should be considered and it will be the last you’ll need to install. Great work, guys and thanks a bunch.

I’ve owned this door for 4 years and can say with confidence that buying it was the correct choice. When you look at the different designs out there it’s really the only reasonable choice if you care about energy efficiency. They have that video with the fan and I would say that it is every bit as air tight as they advertise. I have a jack russell and a 90 pound pit/boxer mix and they both barrel through it at top speed several times a day. It is showing signs of wear after 4 years of this, but over all it’s held up pretty well. I’ve had to contact the manufacturer twice regarding issues with the door and both times they exceeded my expectations with their service.

We originally purchased this door for our home in Maine and are now using the same one in Colorado. Our pair of Malamutes run in and out of this thing many, many times a day.
It’s a sturdy, great quality pet door that does a fantastic job of keeping the weather outside. We’ve used other doors that you purchase at big box pet stores, but those weren’t much better than a loose flap hanging in your door. This product, however, is absolutely worth the money.
Their customer service is great, too. I had a minor issue with my door after my 85 lb Malamute stepped on the flap while it was open. I emailed Brian. 15 minutes later he emailed me back with his phone number. I had him on the phone and in minutes had my problem solved. If I ever need a second pet door, it’ll be one of these.

I was skeptical but now I don’t know how I lived without it. I have two 5 yr old black labs and as active as they are this is a must, now they can just run outside whenever they want to. I also have one 12 yr old dog who has trouble walking and I didn’t like holding the door open for her as she takes a minute to walk up 2 stairs to get inside (and in the winter I was letting a door full of heat out) but even she uses the door, this is a life-saver.
I was also skeptical of the seal when I saw the leaf blower demo, but it is a tight seal (as evidenced by the rather loud magnetic clap as it closes, and this never gets stuck halfway closed like I thought it might) and I put my hand around the inside of the door when it was 26 degrees out and it felt just like the rest of the room. very pleased with the product…although you can get free shipping if you go through their own web site vs Amazon
