Perfect Fit

Just what we needed to keep dogs out of the room while allowing cats access to the litterbox! Sturdy, easy to use, and easy to install.

Mostly Good for What I Wanted it For

I bought this so that I could leave our bedroom door slightly ajar and my small dog would be able to go out at night if needed. He is the size of a cat so it works perfectly for him. I used to have to stick a shoe in the door to keep the wind from slamming it shut! My only complaint is that it is hard to close the door completely, especially from the outside. Requires two hands. One to push the latch out of the way and the other to close the door. The other thing that would be good is if you could somehow fold the latch in when not using it. Overall pretty happy with this purchase.

This is my 3rd purchase. We have a beagle that loves the cat litterbox and this allows easy passage of my chonky cat but not the beagle. Utterly necessary. Unfortunately my nephew got snagged in the long arm of the door buddy and broke it. This is the replacement.

Door prop for cat at night

Purchased this for bedroom door so at night the cat can be all over the house and litter box but also I can secure it a bit and the dog cannot get out. It’s plastic, so it isn’t for security, but it works for what I need. The door stays in a mostly closed position, I can close it all the way. I did need to cut a bigger hole for the latch to close all the way, but that’s fine. The opening piece is also adjustable. The cat can go in and out and the dog in. Works.

The door buddy was simple to install. Just remove the strike plate with a screwdriver and attach the device in its place. Using the provided tool, adjust the length to provide the desired width opening. Use the door as usual. When properly adjusted it will catch on the latch easily when the door swings nearly closed. Our cat can easily access the basement and the dog does not.

Easy Fix

We were using hanging wire tied to door know and hooking it to a screw in the door frame. My dog was very persistent and if she kept trying it, it would pop open

We were using hanging wire tied to door know and hooking it to a screw in the door frame. My dog was very persistent and if she kept trying it, it would pop open so she could eat cat poop for snacks! Just installed Door Buddy today and it seems to be working! She keeps trying but cannot get her body through the door. We may need a gate eventually but for now it's a perfect fix!

We secured this on a bathroom door so the cats could get in and the dog could not get to the litter box however, if someonewanted to use the bathroom, it was very difficult to close the door with this device installed. Might work better for other rooms like a utility room - but not a bathroom

Does Exactly What It Is Supposed To Do!

The Door Buddy keeps our doors open and stable. Visitors understand how to use the Door Buddy immediately. Cat's can get where they need to go and the grandchild can no longer accidently lock the cats in our out of the basement. It was a small challenge to install the first one, so 4 stars.

Wish I had bought this sooner!

This is the best product ever. I have tried several ways to keep my dog from going upstairs and eating the cat's food. The dog is like a ninja and can sneak up

This is the best product ever. I have tried several ways to keep my dog from going upstairs and eating the cat's food. The dog is like a ninja and can sneak up without a sound. This product is so simple and easy to use. I love that I can open and close the door without a problem and yet can leave it open any space I want to let the cat go upstairs and eat in peace. Well worth every penny and more.

Great idea in theory

Easy to install and seems great, but unfortunately it doesn't hold the door latch firmly enough. So it ensures the door won't close on the cat, but the dogs can

Easy to install and seems great, but unfortunately it doesn't hold the door latch firmly enough. So it ensures the door won't close on the cat, but the dogs can still push it open without a lot of trouble
