The PetSafe Extreme Weather Door is new to the market for PetSafe. It uses a unique 3-flap design: 2 flexible flaps that sandwich a padded material (Yellow portion in door image). There is no brush (pile) weather stripping along the sides of any of the flaps. The vinyl flaps have a magnetic strip along the bottom; however, the interior, insulating pad does not have any magnets and simply floats free between the two vinyl flaps.
The 3-flap design, does increase the resistance a pet would feel going through the door. This rigidity may require a pet more time to become accustom to the door. The locking panel is a true "front-load" meaning that it snaps directly on the pet opening and does not slide into place as with many other models.
The flaps are connected by thumbscrews through a slotted section at the top of the flap. This design allows the flaps to be adjusted vertically for an optimum seal around the flap. Petsafe has not provided any information regarding the longevity of this flap configuration.
Do you think a chiwawa could use this?
