Port-A-Crate Indoor and Outdoor Home for Pets, Collapsible and Portable

I am really pleased with this crate. I needed something for my Australian Shepherd who is not crate trained while she recovers from a knee injury. It's exactly what I was looking for. The crate definitely had a strong chemical smell for a few days so give yourself some airing out time before you need to put your pet in it. Probably outside in a strong breeze would be a good plan! The fumes would have definitely worried me if I had needed to put my dog in it all the time right away. It has since aired out and works great. It sets up and packs down in about half a minute. I bought the FurHaven Pet Nap Terry 27-Inch by 36-Inch Orthopedic Pet Bed to go in it and that fits exactly and perfectly. I just leave the mat inside the crate when I fold it up for storing. The crate is roomy for my Australian Shepherd. She can stand and turn around easily with some room to spare. My Aussie looks and fits about the same inside the 36" crate as the picture of the Weimaraner in the crate. Plenty of head space and room to sleep toward the rear or toward the front. I was a little worried about the "step" in the front because my dog is recovering from a knee injury, but it is low enough that it's not a problem at all. The soft construction works great for me and seems sturdy and adequate for my dog, but ... if your dog chews at all forget about it! The top and front flaps roll back out of the way and attach easily with velcro. The side and rear dog-bone shaped windows are fixed mesh. Not too sure about the air flow through the dog bone windows and might be concerned about heat building up in it if it was hot out. The zippers work great. The top is strong enough to hold a sleeping cat but probably not strong enough to do it very often without causing the fabric to sag. The cats like the crate also. It's super lightweight and very easy to put up and take down. It folds up pretty flat (about 3 inches deep). It has straps that hold it closed and a carry handle. It's a little bulky to move it around when it's all set up, but still manageable and easy to get it in and out of the SUV. The light weight made it a little tippy in the car. I had to tie it down because I was afraid it was going to tip over while I was driving on winding mountain roads. The tipping thing might be somewhat due to the crate being larger than my dog needs? It has little tabs with grommets that can be used to tie or stake the crate down. The bottom of the crate is a vinyl material that would make clean up easy. Overall very pleased. It's a lot prettier than a wire crate and definitely cozier for my dog. Planning to get another one for my other Aussie for traveling.

These crates are fantastic in their design, construction, and durability. We've bought 3 so far and our pups love them, as do we because they set up in seconds, and are so easy to carry and pack in the car. We often move ours around the house while set up too by lifting by the frame or sliding on our wood floors and they show no signs of damage or distress. We have two adolescent male blue heelers and they are active to say the least, and at 35 lbs each and growing, the XL crate offers plenty of room. They were sharing one crate until a few weeks ago and often still snuggle together in one for naps throughout the day, or have some wrestle/play time in one. The zippers are really robust but one of our pups has figured out how to open the door by pushing hard against the zipper and straining it until it separates. I think he uses his toenail somehow too, but this dog is a problem solver. His bro shows no signs of figuring out the same technique. There is a really smart little zipper lock to stop most crafty dogs from unzipping. There is also a hatch on top that worked so great when our boys were tiny and allowed us to lift them in and out for toilet breaks.One out of the 3 crates we ordered had a defect where the fabric was stretched too tight over the frame causing the whole thing to kind of rock when erect. We are planning to send this one back but it seems like it might be stretching over the frame and resolving itself. We were just worried about the integrity of the sewn seams in this case but they don't seem strained enough to cause a tear.Overall these crates have been amazing and we will continue to use them. The portability and durability are the finest attributes, and the price is very fair. No more noisy metal crate that threatens to pinch my fingers when I assemble it, that's too heavy to be convenient, that's cold and hard for my sweet pups, that I can't drag on my wood floors. The soft crate, particularly this one, is a win-win for us and our dogs. Did I mention the dogs love their cozy, comfy, soft sided crate and get comfy in every position even pressed up against the sides? Can't do that in a metal crate.

We bought this so we could put it on our trailer and take the dogs with us on rides. Assembly is just a matter of folding it open and locking the top bars together. It takes all of 30 seconds to open it up or put it away. It is super lightweight with lots of ventilation. The framework is plenty strong enough for me to put a couple of bungees over it to hold it on the trailer.

This is my 2nd Petnation soft crate. I bought the first one over 6 years ago and it's still going strong. Used it for an easy set up crate for dog competitions and classes as the metal ones were noisy, heavy and I was constantly getting my fingers pinched in them.My dog clearly preferred going into the soft crate over the metal one so I eventually replaced the metal crate in our bedroom with it and he's been using it ever since. With a new dog now, I opted for another Petnation soft crate and it works so well with the new dog who is a bit nervous of loud sounds and moves around quite a bit at night, trying to get settled. The fabric doesn't rustle - it's sturdy and while I certainly would not recommend a soft crate for a puppy or a dog that's an aggressive chewer, it holds up to regular wear and tear quite well.No more clanging around in a metal crate or heaving 5 kilos of metal crate around or getting my fingers pinched!

Esta perfecta, la verdad la calidad es excelente y a mi perrita le encanta; incluso tiene varias funciones, puedes abrir el techo y cerrar la puerta y queda como corralito o puedes enrollar la malla que sirve como puerta, no guarda malos olores, y es muy acogedora, vale cada peso; yo la quise comprar más grande para que mi perrita tuviera mucho espacio ya que le encanta tener su rincón para estar en el día ahi, pero mi perra es talla S y compre la medida M de casa, así que creo si coinciden las medidas estándar de perros con la de las casitas

Transporteur de bonne qualité. Solide et tissus épais. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Je la recommande.

Great crate! Light, portable and easy to set up. Material is durable. At first, I wondered if dog would go in as she's used to another crate that is plastic that she's had since being a pup. (It was a hassle lifting the other one upstairs/downstairs all the time) I leave this one downstairs, and she now crawls in it when she wants to sleep. It's easy to lift in the back of the SUV if needed. The dog is around 56 pounds, plenty of room for her to stretch out.
