Having sweated over installing an utterly crappy Staywell medium dogflap
today (the construction is incredibly flimsy) I've decided that there's just
*got* to be a better brand out there somewhere.

Can anyone recommend a brand that better constructed?

I can only speak as staff for a large cat or two, but I've always been
very happy with Pet Mate. And they have good customer service, do spare
parts, and send them promptly.

Know what you mean - they're not particularly cheap for what they are
either...

Having said that, our last Staywell lasted 7-8 years IIRC - not
properly of course, the magnetic strips were sh*te and had broken off
within months with their customer service leaving much to be desired
(they'd sell me replacements), but I replaced it last week with the
nearest equivalent I could find - another Staywell (760) rather than
cutting more holes out of the door :-}

If anyone is on the lookout for a cheap(er) Staywell, we found they
were close to half the normal selling price (even compared to fleabay)
at a local Wyevale Garden Centre (Warrington) - the large one was £23
and the medium £18 IIRC.
