Dog Doors for a Labradoodle
Curly and energetic — a large dog flap is usually needed. A typical Labradoodle weighs 18–28 kg. Coat volume adds width; we allow extra clearance.

Large dog door, roughly 314 × 390 mm.
How to measure your Labradoodle
- 1Measure your dog's shoulder height from the floor — the opening needs to be at least that tall.
- 2Measure the widest point, usually the chest or hips, and add 50 mm.
- 3Watch how your dog goes through a normal doorway: if they duck, the opening needs to be taller.
- 4Measure the chest clearance from the floor so the step-over is easy, not a jump.
Where we fit it: A large opening needs a good amount of flat panel. We measure the door before quoting, because on some uPVC doors the reinforcement means a lower or narrower flap is the only safe option.

Microchip compatibility for a Labradoodle
UK dogs must be microchipped by law, and those chips are standard 15-digit FDX-B — exactly what the microchip pet doors we fit read. Larger dog doors are usually manual 4-way lock; chip-controlled access is available up to the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door size.
Labradoodle microchip tip
Most labradoodles are too large for chip entry, so a large manual door is the realistic choice.

Getting a Labradoodle used to the dog door
Tape the flap open, call your dog through from the other side, then lower it gradually over a few days. Never push them through — one bad experience takes weeks to undo.
Fitting note: Coat volume adds width; we allow extra clearance.
