The Pet Portal is designed to be customizable for any door. It’s available in the Stainless Steel Magnum with deadbolt lock or the Sherbet Alley Deluxe, which combines the design of the original in strong plastic with a painted steel security door offered in a variety of mix-and-match colors. The weather-tight flap features magnetic edges. “The Pet Portal is well-constructed, worked as promised and formed a good seal,” says our tester, who has an indoor-outdoor cat. “And the decorative lock is very cool.” Interchangeable decorative Pet Portal frames and frame sets are also available.

The Other Door is hands-down one of the most functional crate we’ve ever seen. It features four doors for total access, integrated wheels, a comfort-grip handle, locking latches and smooth corners to help prevent snagging and scratching. A large side door opens up and out of the way. Anyone who has ever struggled to get his pet in a crate knows how important this is. Available in brick, lavender, sage, ocean blue or pink, the crate even comes with a color-coordinating plush pad. But perhaps the best feature is its break down. It folds so that even large-dog owners can easily carry it. No more awkward, arms-spread trips to the car! A storage bag is included. Two to three sizes are available, depending on color choice.
