I have to give this pet carrier a five star rating, because it’s durable, well made and the assembly instructions were clear and detailed.It was brought for the transportation of my small dog (whippet) to a local vet. I purchased this with the intention of transporting the dog via my mobility scooter but it was too big.Nevertheless, it wasn’t a purchase in error item that will just sit around the home. It is used as and when she wants somewhere safe to be. Somewhere cool and dark. Safe from fireworks etc.I know it’s not soundproof but it’s a sanctuary place almost.It can be dismantled whenever needed and can be half the size needed if need be.Also it’s stronger than the fabric ones available,

I like that this is true to size as described and easy to assemble. All the holes lined up and it came with metal bolts and wing nuts (encased in plastic). However, I am disappointed how flimsy the crate feels. I have a Bargain Hound that is about 3 inches smaller than this one and it holds my 26 pound dog much more securely when using the handle. When you use the handle on this crate, the top bends up (with dog inside). Luckily, there are "LIFT HERE" areas on the sides of the crate to properly carry the load. (I will be taping down the handle to prevent anyone from actually using it to lift the crate.) The only reason why I bought this is because we will be flying soon and needed a crate with a head clearance 2 inches higher (per airline regulations).

I received this recently and have just come to assemble today. Mine is not the colour advertised but all cream[just dark clips]---but no great problem. It was 'easyish' to assemble. By that I mean I did have to push the clips together with a bit of 'oomph' but eventually all clipped into place. The fact that is was a little tight to clip is quite good as,hopefully, the clips will actually STAY clipped!!! It does seem sturdy enough but I have not bought the basket for any air-line travel only as a 'stand-by' basket for any vet trips to accommodate my 7kgs+ cat [or his smaller brother!!!] It does seem he will have quite a bit of room to stretch and be comfy. I cannot comment on the handles'

The Vari-Kennel is the Cadillac of pet carriers due to it's sturdy construction, pet friendly features keeping your dog/cat safe thru a car seatbelt restraint, no-injury wires etc. Vets say carrier is designed for the pet to be able to stand, and make a turn. I also use 'Pooch Pad" products on the bottom for comfort and catching any accidents. It's been 12 years since having to buy a second one while my friends fiddle with other brands doors, springs etc. The Petmate PICTURE is best seen once you click on the item, as the pic I am viewing now is not the product and needs to be corrected to show what is clearly a pet carrier.

It came with the wrong hardware so I called 1877-petmate. On 2/18/20 They said they would ship out hardware. I’ll update this if I get the right hardware. They said I could go to a hardware store and buy the right size hardware. That is ridiculous! The picture shows the bolts are way too long and the wing nuts don’t screw on far enough to tighten the halves together. I’ll update this review if they follow through with the right hardware. I did receive the correct hardware. If they had just told me about the delay upfront it would have been appreciated. Nice product b

This was the solution to our problem for crating our large german shepherd puppy. She is growing so fast and we are still training her and having to crate her indoors. The summer months have made her prone to shedding a lot more because of the heat so this kennel keeps her both cooler and has allowed us to keep her space clean. The kennel overall is easy to clean. It fastens shut securely and is easy to use. I compared the pricing to the kennels in the pet stores and Amazon definitely had the better deal. Great buy and fantastic quality, worth the price.

I think these are well made kennels. It took a little pushing to get them put together just right. Once assembled I felt they were very secure and well made. I used the clips and the included screws. I would not use these without using the clips AND the screws. I took my cats on a 10 hour journey and the crates did well in the backseat of my Subaru. My cats weigh between 10-12 pounds. Definitely would recommend these but you must take the time to be sure the parts are fitting together exactly and you are using the screws and clips.

Got this for our new poodle/bijon mix; who weighs about 13 lbs. It's long enough for him to stretch out and deep enough when he wants to curl up in a ball and get as far back as he can. I hope the handle is strong enough to last as others have said the handle breaks. You do need to use the handle to get the crate from one place to another as picking it up by the sides is just too wide and awkward to transport that way. It's sturdy and the wire door works well; doesn't get stuck and will stay open when you want it to stay open.

bear in mind that this size is HUGE and when assembled, doesn't fit in a compact or even standard car. Even my hatchback isn't tall enough. it is great for the home though, this is my pug's den and he sleeps in it comfortably. pretty well built. obviously wouldn't be spacious for a big dog, and i can not review how it holds up to a big dog. Probably fine. Feels sturdy. But would not hold up well to a big dog that chews or rustles around a lot--but your dog should be trained to not do that anyway.

Worked perfectly for our purpose. It's a light weight crate (as you would expect at this price) but was perfect for a new puppy. We needed something smaller than an adult crate for a small pup, and she fell I love with it. Now that she is over the 20 lb size, she still squeezes into it sometimes to hide a toy or curl up tight. Probably would not be a good choice for a lifetime crate due to lightweight materials. Definitely not suitable for shipping/air travel.

This product has plenty of room for our Bichon Frise and she is very comfortable with the extra space and ventilation. We bought the smallest crate and carrier when she was 3 months old and she was just too big for it now that she is almost a year old. The light color is better too as it doesn't draw too much heat while riding to and from the groomer and the vet in the summer. The carrier was easy to put together and stays clean.

I bought this for a growing Lab pup. It was easy to put together and seems rather sturdy (it comes with extra bolts and nuts). I like that it can be put together so that the door can open in either direction. There is no handle on the top (and if there was, I would never lift the kennel with it while my 40# dog was in it--it's not THAT sturdy). If my dog keeps growing I will not hesitate to buy another, bigger, one of these.

We got a puppy in September 2020, as she out grew our old crate, I needed a new one for her. This was probably too big for a French bulldog, but I wasn't sure how big she would be when she was done growing. Either way the quality is great, very easy to assemble and easy to clean. We primarily use this for her overnight sleeping. She has plenty of room for a bed and blankets to snuggle with. Overall this was a great purchase.

I bought this kennel for a road trip in May. I have a 6 month old GSD and she Is 52 pounds. The height is still good but the length is already to short. I am now having to buy another one and this one is in perfect condition. That is a little frustrating. The description says up to 70 lbs but only if they are short and round I guess. :) I am going to get the next size up because I do really like the quality of these kennels.

Works well, I bought this because my French bulldog has wrecked two of her wire crates. Yes two! For such a small dog she was able to chew at the wires and bend them apart. Eventually she bent them so much they just broke off.This crate is sturdy and looks nice and is a perfect size for her. Fingers crossed she seems to like it much better, not sure if it is because it is more enclosed but she hasn't tried to chew it yet!
