2. What’s Your Biggest Problem?

My dog keeps eating the cat’s food or litter

→ Go for a dogproof litter box solution like the Door Buddy Strap or Bundle. These act as a pet door latch that keeps dogs out of the cat’s room while allowing your cat to come and go freely.

I need to babyproof a room but still let my cat in

→ The Strap or Bundle is your best baby gate alternative. They’re perfect for babyproofing with pets - quick to install, gentle on doors, and easy to adjust.

I have a large or persistent dog

→ You’ll need extra reinforcement. The Door Buddy Door Prop is built for stronger pets.

The Door Prop is the newest member of the Door Buddy family, easy to install, portable, adjustable, and strong enough to handle large dogs. It’s also convenient to use from either side of the door.

Note: The Door Prop works only on standard left or right-swinging doors.

We asked our community what they use; here’s what they said:

“Installs in minutes. Adjustments are easy and opens wide enough for the fat cats!”

- Sarah Welch, Door Buddy® Cat Door Prop

“I usually do not write reviews, but just had to tell everyone reading this, you will not regret buying this product. It is so simple to install that even a five-year-old can do it. It does exactly what it says, keeps out unwanted dogs/toddlers, and easily opens for people or a robot vacuum. I'm more than pleased! “

-Monty German, Door Buddy® Dog Plus Door Stopper

“We are using this to allow our cats access to their food and cat box, but keep our dogs out. We used to use a baby gate that we’d have to step over or move out of the way all the time.”

- Craig Sutton, Door Buddy® Cat Door Prop

“It did a great job keeping our Grand Baby out of the litter. She was a little upset at first but then accepted she couldn't squeeze through. Now our dogs don't get litter snacks when we aren't there. We love how simple it was to install and how well it works.”

-Michael Poe, Door Buddy® Baby Plus Pinch Guard
