Pet Porter Fashion Dog Kennel Plastic Crate for Pets 15-20 lbs, Pet Carrier For Home and Travel, Made in USA, 24" L x 14.5" H, Pale Aqua and Black

The first time she went to the vet, she cried for the first 2 mins and then she was looking all over the place interested in where she was going. It's held up very well and stayed clean. I've had it for quite awhile now. I just have to wipe it down every so often. It was so easy to put together. Took me only a couple mins and it was definitely worth the money. The color is wonderful too. She fits perfect in it. Just enough room for her. She's gotten a little bigger since she was in it in August but she goes in it every so often to chill. They quality is really nice too.

This is a very well-built kennel. My partner had it assembled in two shakes of a kitten’s tail. It comes with three extra screws and screw caps, which is generous and will come in handy. It was easy to transport from one room to another in the house. It’s got the type of door that a water bowl (not included) can be attached to with 2 screws and wing nuts. A shallow bowl would be best for a small animal. The door opens easily. I love the grey and black color. I bought mine for a small 8-9 week old kitten with an injured growth plate. He needs to remain confined. This kennel is the perfect size for him. The best thing is that litter boxes for small animals fit right inside in the back horizontally and don’t take up much room. They can even be slid in and out for easy cleaning without having to tip them, angle them or remove the door! I’ve had my kitten inside his kennel for 3 hours straight now and he hasn’t made a peep. He played, slept, ate, used his litter box and is sleeping again. I think he actually likes it. His kennel is on my bed where he can see me. I hope you learn more about this quality kennel from my photos and video.

This crate is nicely made and good quality. Big enough for my Chihuahua. It’s easy to put your pet inside and the door stays put. The cost is reasonable. I only put my baby in the crate when I’m away because she gets into things when I leave.

My old Pet Carriers/Kennels had become too small for my cats... so I purchased this new LARGER PetMate 26" Kennel (the blue one, in the attached photos). Overall, I like this new 26" PetMate Kennel .. FOUR STARS. I coaxed my cats into it using catnip (you can see some still scattered inside, in the photos); both of my cats entered this larger Crate/Kennel (separately, they took turns) - even my smaller/older, skiddish cat seemed comfortable while inside it. I think this 26" Kennel is well made, roomy, and sturdy. Putting it together was very easy. (I left the Kennel door off for now - attached it, then removed it - to allow my cats to become accustomed to entering the large Crate .. I'll put the door back on the front, later on.) The only NEGATIVE I see, is that this new, larger, PetMate 26" Kennel was made without the convenient amenities my smaller Kennels/Crates had - THERE IS NO *SEATBELT SLOT* for security/stability while transporting my kitties to the Vet .. and also, no Storage Space (for a water dish, wipes, whatever) like my old/smaller Crates/Kennels had. *The omitted Seatbelt Slot is kind-of a big deal for me .. If the Kennel moves around while I'm transporting my cats, they will become frightened before arrival at our destination. I removed a star, because of this. EDIT TO ADD: Now that my cats have gone into this new Carrier/Kennel and stood inside to eat their meals, I've noticed that when they step out of it, the bottom/floor of the Kennel *pops* up. (When they first enter, the floor "bows" down, because the edges along the bottom are extended, but the entire midsection is not.)

Excellent quality material, sturdy, nice pink color for my female cats and very simple to assemble. Very secure carrier with no chance of pets escaping. Great value for the money.

they finally fixed the spring technique of the opening and closing by making the. hand stretch to pull the spring instead of doing from the center. better built this time.

I have a large cat family and am always in need of quality, durable cat carriers. I've tried the cloth sided ones with mesh, but my cats chewed through them in no time. Thus, I switched to hard sided carriers and found there's quite a difference between one to the next. This one, I believe, is the best one I've found so far. Particularly, the gate is a breath of fresh air because it stays open on its own, not automatically swinging shut (trying to get the cat in the carrier with one hand while fussing with the gate with the other is not a happy chore...) Plus it was super easy to assemble with only hands being required, no tools necessary. And it's excellent for my large and heavy male cats. It calls itself a dog carrier, but it's ideal for big cats too. I highly recommend.

The carrier I got I had to literally open some of the holes more with a craft knife to get the screws through and even then the plastic bolts did not always completely screw in the metal bolts. I will be replacing the plastic washers with metal ones. There are a lot of sharp edges on this thing, fortunately outside, but I am not a fan of that. I cut myself a bit in a couple of places on my hands putting it together. Watch how you pick this carrier up or grab it because you could cut your hands even with it assembled if you pick it up by the sides where the bolts are. I'm going to take a sanding block to it to try to dull those areas so hopefully I won't be cutting myself again. I had a hard time getting the door in the grooves but I managed it. Do not tighten all the bolts before you put the door in or you will not be able to do that. It's keeping my new wild child kitten in okay so far and it's got plenty of room for her to play with all her toys. I bought it because she ripped apart a plastic playpen and escaped in about 5 minutes. So this is a much better solution if you have an adventurous small pet with sharp claws and teeth than those flimsy play pens. This is definitely not the best carrier I've ever had. Given it wasn't exactly cheap that is not cool. It should have real bolts not these crappy plastic ones that barely work. The edges should not be rough like this. They should be sanded down so that you aren't risking plastic cuts if you move or pick this carrier up by anything but the handle. The holes in the sides should be all the way open. It's ridiculous that some were half closed and I had to use a craft knife to correct that. That's just shoddy workmanship and given it's supposed to be something that can keep your animal safe and inside I have my doubts that it would work well for anything bumpy like a car or long plane ride. I'd give it ZERO stars if I could....
