"I wish this gate would come back in stock. I need another one! It’s the only gate that holds up against my pit bull."

"I do love this gate. It's comfortably tall enough that we don't have to bend to open it, sturdy, and easily secured. It took a few weeks for the cats to figure out the flap but they did get it eventually."
