Disappointed, October 15, 2009
by AFWife from San Antonio, TX

Pros: snaps together quickly, looks nice, multiple entry ways
Cons: mesh sides are too easily destroyed, not easy to repair

"I was so excited when I got this crate for my 3 month old lab puppy. I read reviews that said it was great (even for puppies) and bought it right away. Within 4 hours of her being in this crate for the first time, she managed to chew off the velcro on the side panel (which holds the doors open, like in the picture) and tear through the entire mesh side. I had the medium size crate which is now useless and still had to spend more money to buy a steal crate so she couldn't escape. I would only recommend this crate for older dogs that have already been crate-trained or for use when traveling in a car where the sides are reinforced by something solid. One well-placed toenail in the mesh and its useless."

Perfect Crate, August 11, 2009
by SouthernSoul from Sarasota, FL

Pros: great design
Cons: lack of color choices

"I purchased this crate because of it's light weight construction. I have two standard folding metal crates and find them hard to move aroundd because of their weight. This crate is light weight and easy to for me to move.

I also found that with metal folding crates and other canvas crate design it required two hands to set up which meant that I had to have someone hold my dogs while I set them up. This design allows you to set it up and take it down with one hand. This is a life saver since I have 3 excitable dogs.

I was however disappointed in two things;
1) The choice of colors. I would have liked to get a different color for each dog, preferrably to match their collars and leashes.
2) I could only order this product on line. I would have liked to purchase it at my local PetSmart store.

Otherwise, it's a wonderful product with a well thought out design that easily fits into my small car when folded. And my dogs love the top opening, when they're in their crates I open the top so they can stand up and look around."

Perfect Crate, June 11, 2009
by Jasmine1343 from Madera, CA

"This crate has literally been a life saver. Shortly after adopting a "special needs" puppy I was told that I needed to keep her in a small crate for 2 months until her surgery was possible. This crate offered her the visibility and air flow that make her comfortable and not so closed in. The roll-up walls/windows makes it so easy to medicate, feed, and love her during this very difficult time. It is durable and easy to move from room to room. The pockets are extremely handy to have. This is a fantastic buy."

"This is a great kennel. I love it. It is the right size and it is sturdy. My little ones were able to escape by unzipping the door. They learned this quickly. I used a string to tie the two zippers together and this was resolved. However the canvas seems to hold odor, though I have cleaned it repeatedly. I am probably going to exchange for a plastic kennel that is easier to deodorize."

Great home for Puppy, August 17, 2008
by diggysmom from Sonoma

"We have an eight week old yellow lab and this has been a perfect "bed/home" for her at night. It's soft and easy to take from place to place because it's light weight (10-12lbs)but strong. She is using it as a quiet place. It's not as intimidating as a crate and because you can see through it on five (of six) sides it's very flexible. There are also four "doors" so you can have it open or closed. We did buy another bed to put inside to make it a bit softer but we are thrilled with this product. It has a waterproof pad (we haven't had any accidents but like the idea of that) and is very easy to clean. This would be great for puppies and smaller dogs that like to be part of the family. It's a good crate alternative. Because it's easy to fold we can also take it in most cars - you fold it before you place it inside the car and then set it up. It's very easy to transport and use."
