Petmate Vari Dog Kennel - Portable Dog Carriers & Crates for Large Dogs, Airline-Friendly, Durable Plastic, Pet Carrier For Home and Travel, 40 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.

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.

Well made, easy to put together.

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.

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.

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 can’t believe it. I had NEED. Practical and lightweight.

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.
