Petmate Vari Dog Kennel - Portable Dog Carriers & Crates for Medium Dogs, Airline-Friendly, Durable Plastic, Pet Carrier For Home and Travel, 32 Inches, Taupe and Black

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.

Very sturdy. Opens and closes easily. Was very easy to assemble. I love how the front gate is in small squares so that my dog cannot chew on the metal bars as she often does with traditional kennels or crates. The design is very safe. I bought it used and it was in perfect condition with all the parts. Big enough for my 12 pound dog to be able to sit up in and not crouch her head down.

Great for travel. And safer for the animal and the driver does not have to worry about them escaping if you have to stop

My yorkie loves this thing and it’s very secure. Easy for transport.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this cage on October 16, 2023. I usually like writing reviews more than a year out. This way it will give you a real durability review. With that being said, let me begin. It’s great. I my Chihuahua Paz, uses it at least seven days in a month. The latch still works. The sun hasn’t warped it or cracked it. What did happen was I lost two of the screws. You’ll notice in the picture where I point out with my finger. There’s a screw missing there on the left and the right side, but that’s probably my fault. I should’ve checked and tighten them frequently. Even though I lost two screws it still functional. If you’re looking to purchase this product, do so. The year is 2025 and it’s still going strong.

This is a very strong and sturdy kennel

This kennel is a step up in size for our growing boxer puppy who has grown from 30 pounds a few months ago to 57 pounds now. So, I needed to buy a larger kennel, but also a new bed to go inside. I purchased both on Amazon. As it happened, the kennel got lost in the bowels of the US Postal Service, so the bed arrived much sooner. I unpacked the bed and let her use in as a "day bed". Then, the kennel showed up and I discovered the bed was way to large for the kennel. You see, I purchased the bed based on the dimensions included in the description on Amazon of 36 inches by 25 inches. But, it turns out that measurement is the ridge that protrodes arround the middle of the kennel where bolts are inserted to connect the 2 halves. I guess I can see that that information might be important for someone who wanted to know how much space it would take up in the back of a car. But, I think giving that measurement without providing the interior dimentions is misleading.
