In addition to special features, there are a few basic factors that can affect prices. For example, larger doors usually cost more because they require more raw materials to manufacture them. And they can cost more to ship since they are larger and heavier than smaller models. (Reminder: America’s Pet Store offers free ground shipping for all sizes and models that we carry.)
