Nice crate
This is a straight forward assembly and takes less than five minutes to assemble. I have Australian Shepherd so I went with the 3 ft crates. Used them on a long trip and my dogs made it 8 hours in their crates (minus potty breaks) without complaining. There is plenty of head space and room to lay down. The plastic is sturdy and it cleans easily. Very satisfied. The price was less than competitors and I was pleased with that also. No shipping fees either.

Better than the wire crates for our anxious dog.
We have a 14 lb mini-schnauzer rescue. He is high anxiety, and we have struggled with crate training him. We got the 28″, and it seems to be the perfect size for him. He doesn’t weigh much, but has a long, skinny body, and is tall and lanky for his weight. He is 22″ long and 17″ from floor to top of head when standing. It was clear that he instantly felt more comfortable with this crate, over the wire crate we first tried. I put a fluffy blanket inside, and he went in on his own and curled up! So happy. This is his new night time bed spot. It was easy to put together, has a handle, and doesn’t appear to have any sharp edges or seams inside. It also doesn’t have a strong plastic smell, which is fantastic.

Dog crate
This is a sturdy crate that works well for a dog that you cannot keep in a cloth crate. It is lighter than a metal crate.

Good, lightweight kennel.
Very sturdy, easy to assemble and break down as needed. It’s lightweight but gives my 60 lb dog plenty of space for him and his blankets and toys. We had a metal kennel as well, and this one is so much more convenient and offers more security for my dog.

Roomy and practical cat carrier.
As good as anything you can get at a pet store. Value was there and I found myself going from 2 cats to seven. I still canât believe it. I had NEED. Practical and lightweight.

Great product
Great kennel for travel. My dog feels safe on long road trips in this kennel and it has good air flow. It is easy to assemble and is sturdy. Great value for the money.

Perfect size
Why did you pick this product vs others?:My little dogs were dragging their pen across the room and we needed the behavior to stop. This kennel had a floor so they couldn’t move it. It’s perfect size for both dogs (they don’t like being separated). They are doing much better. I would definitely recommend this kennel.

Super pratique ! Lavable à souhait et on peut la défaire de manière à empiler les 2 parties pour la ranger.
Amazon Customer –
We received broken peice and they don’t have return policy. Which is strange ð¦. We have bought that for our pet to travel internationally but when we received it was broken and there was no option to change it.

I bought these before and they improved the screw nuts so it is easier to turn the nut on the screw. This has thinner plastic than the ones I bought years ago and the holes on the sides are larger and ovular. The screw nuts were an improvement and I like the overall design but the ones I bought before I felt were more durable with thicker plastic and thinner slits so my cats couldn’t stick their paws out.

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’ strength—- as I ‘ve stated its a ‘stand-by’. It appears good for my boys.
