It works well and lets the cats in and out of the room and prevents the golden retriever from eating their food or getting into their litter box. The installation was simple with thorough instructions. If your dog is large and determined it may break before keeping them out but that’s only if the dog would put their all into it. I would definitely recommend this product, it is a relief to have in place.

Very neat little doorstop!

This is soooooo much better than a pet gate or drilling a hole in the door. Works well, and decently sturdy. Probably wouldn't hold up to tremendous force but

This is soooooo much better than a pet gate or drilling a hole in the door. Works well, and decently sturdy. Probably wouldn't hold up to tremendous force but it's working very well for us so far. Will probably get another one.

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!
