Smart and simple!
This works amazing and its just such a simple but effective fix. My catâs food and box is in my office but she is too old for me to put the food up high out of our dogâs reach, so its has to be on the ground where the dog can poach it. This allows the cat in and keeps the dog out and the bumper makes sure the door doesnât shut. Works perfectly and well made!
Karen Lauer –
Great for keeping the dog out
Very pleased with the ease of install and use of this product. Works exactly as described to keep the dog out of the cat’s food and litterbox. Highly recommend.

Exactly What I Needed!
The Door Buddy is exactly what I needed for my apartment! I have two doors now with a Door Buddy installed where the product is serving two different purposes. The first is the bathroom door where the litter box is located. It’s perfect to keep my nosy Labrador out of the litter box and give my cat her deserved privacy. After installation when he would still try to follow my cat into the bathroom and pushed against the door, the Door Buddy held strong. The removal door stopper is great for when guests or I use the bathroom and want to completely shut the door for our privacy.I recently purchased a second Door Buddy because my cat has taught herself to open bifold doors to access where I store their food. In this second installation, I was able to tighten the included strap to keep her out of the closet while I’m quickly able to remove the latch to access it. However, you could easily install the Door Buddy to allow for your cat to enter through a bifold door if that was your desire.I’ve recommended this product to multiple people by word of mouth, but I wanted to do so here because of how well it’s worked for my pets and me. My original Door Buddy to the bathroom door has survived a cross-country move and reinstallation in a new bathroom. It was simple to remove without leaving marks and quick to reinstall with 3M stickers. A Door Buddy is 100% worth your money!

Keeps the dog out of the room, lets the cat in
Our German shepherd puppy decided she liked going in the bathroom and playing in the cats litter box, making a big mess.This was an easy and fast to install that keeps our dog out but still lets our cat go in and out.It works fine for now I think as our pup gets bigger and stronger this wonât stop her, the tape on brackets being the weak point.Iâm going to say it was a good investment right now.

Very good item
Very easy to install and adjust the length of the strap. The soft door stopper works very well. I attach the door stopper on the top of the door and slide it as far as it can go towards the hinges, this helps to keep the door open and prevents the door from moving.

Fat Cat
Works great for my regular sized cat. The fat one is a bit scared it cause itâs a very tight fit. Wish it had a couple of inches to adjust overall itâs a good product.
Heather M. –
Perfect option for cat/dog houses
These work perfectly. I have 4 of them. Strong adhesive, (even if you forget and walk into the door) ease of use, (just hang the stopper on the doorknob when you want to close the door)â¦.100% recommend these.

I bought the door buddy with the latch plus door stopper and I have to say? This is the best invention ever! :)I have lived with baby gates for decades to keep my 2 pugs out of the litter box/cat food dishes. When they passed away, I took the gates down and my hips breathed a sigh of relief. Nine months later, I adopted another adult dog. I certainly didn’t want to have to re-introduce the baby gates if I didn’t need to and our female cat (now 17 years old) certainly didn’t need the added stress and physical mobility to be able to jump up and over the baby gate to toilet! The first week after adoption, I didn’t put up any barriers and I was thrilled; the puggle didn’t seem at all interested in the cats, their food, litter, etc. I assumed that his GI issues were just a result of him “settling” into his new home. I was wrong. One very sneaky and SICK dog was feasting in the litter box daily.After multiple (failed) attempts to create a solution myself, I went online to see what solutions were available. When I found door buddy, I truly didn’t know if something so simple would work. If I’m being honest, it also seemed like a lot of $ for what I was receiving…I installed one in a utility closet that I have converted to the, “litter room” (hinges on the right; pulls open). The dog can’t get in! He chased the cat down the hallway and followed her right up to the door and just stopped. Didn’t even attempt it! Are you kidding me? How many decades did I HATE the baby gates and this tiny solution *fixed* the problem!This week, I found the dog eating the cat kibble (currently in the workout room) and *peeing* on my treadmill bed… gggrrr. I quickly ordered a second door buddy with latch stopper for this door (hinges on left; pushes open)? It installed just as quickly and it keeps him out.Did I spend $60? Yep. Is it worth it/wonderful/am I happy? Absolutely. When I think about how many $100s of dollars that I spent on baby gates that hindered movement and caused me physical pain every time I straddled them? Combine that with hours of sick dog and the time/energy spent cleaning up after him? SO worth it!For the couple of negative reviews on here (and the reasons cited for the device not working), I might respectfully suggest that you check out the webpage for alternate installations. I used the method that the website recommended was the most durable and it has worked for both style doors. I also read a comment about a cat who didn’t fit through the hole left between the doors. I have a large male cat who is also VERY skittish. I truly worried that he would be so afraid of the small entry that he might not use it. So I installed with the largest gap possible to allow him to feel safe that he could enter/exit. Day one, I didn’t latch it, I just used the stopper that prevents the door from closing. The next day, I hooked the latch on the widest setting. Next day, I modified it so the gap was narrower. My large cat fit easily through the hole and the medium dog didn’t (I included a pic of dog/cat for size comparison). On the second door, I just measured the same distance I used on the first door, adjusted the band and the cat easily went through on the first go.Low profile, aesthetically pleasing, easy to install. Genius invention. THANK YOU!

Exactly what I needed to keep the dog out but stop the cat from closing himself in.
Kathryn –
Quick to apply. Itâs giving the cat a safe place from the puppy! Less expensive and easier than a baby gate. Love it!
