Petmate Pet Porter Fashion Dog Kennel 23", Hot Pink, for Pets up to 15lbs, Made in USA

I first want to note that I bought mine from Warehouse Deals for a significant discount (more than 50% off) for the 15-20lb storm grey carrier. Mine was listed as “Used - Acceptable - Item has major cosmetic damages but is still usable. Item will come repackaged.” With this, you never know what you’re getting. I’ve seen broken/unusable, and I’ve seen like new... this one was like new! Score!It was repackaged but it had clearly never been put together. The screws and wing nuts were still sealed in their original container taped inside the lid. It had no major cosmetic damage, just some exterior manufacturing remnants on the bottom... I mean this is injection molded plastic, I cut a few off because I am a little OCD, but it was no biggie.I was thrilled for the price I paid. However, I would have been a little disappointed if I had paid full price.The carrier was not difficult to put together, just line it up, put the door in, give the latches a good solid whack, and screw in the screws and wing nuts (note, it came with one extra screw and wing nut which I appreciated). I suspect the latches are why mine was returned. This is key, these don’t just snap in easy, you need to really whack them... this is great because I don’t want loose, flimsy latches! If they are flush with carrier edges, they are NOT fully snapped on, see pic! This carrier is sturdy, fits together firmly and snugly.This was purchased to replace an older Petmate carrier to transport a 25 lb Maine Coon to the vet. (I know it says 15-20 lbs, but my boy prefers a snug carrier to feel secure and this is definitely large and sturdy enough to hold him without concern). It is a tad thinner than my old carrier of the same variety, but still more than adequate, no complaints.ONLY CON:The only thing I really did not like was something another reviewer mentioned: the interior of the vent holes was sharp. Many pets have anxiety in carriers, and move around or try to sniff the vent holes. My big boy could definitely cut his nose on those sharp vent edges. I took my dremel to them, lightly sanded and voila, problem solved in 5 minutes. If I had paid full price, I would have expected better quality control regarding safety for an item created specifically for pets.But, 5 stars. For what I paid, I am thrilled with my new carrier.

Good quality travel kennel. Worked perfectly for a 2.5 month old husky puppy we had to pick up from states away and bring home. Easily washable in case they have an accident in it, sturdy hard shell, and relatively roomy

I like this dog crate is the perfect size for traveling and at home use. It’s sturdy as we have a jack russel who can get out of most plastic things. The design is great and was easy for me to assemble by myself.

The media could not be loaded. The plastic is not real thick. It’s kind of wonky on top, but the bottom feels OK opens and closes nicely and was easy to put together by my husband.

Sturdy and easy to assemble.

Perfect size for my 11 pound cavapoo. She loves to sleep in here at night.

A very good price when compared elsewhere. This kennel has easy to use screw down co. Extorts to secure the top to the bottom unlike the snaps that I have seen on "comparable" models. That ,ea s that if you are transporting your dog while he or she is in the kennel, the bottom unit will not come a loose. Our Scottish Terrier loves his kennel.

The kennel shown in the product photo (like the broken one we were attempting to replace) CLIPS together at the sides, front and back. The kennel we received is held together with nine fiddly screws. It is an extremely poor design. Ease of use and functionality are nil. Our older cat cowers at the back of the carrier; dragging her out by her legs or scruff is NOT an option. And neither is unscrewing the entire ridiculous thing at every vet visit! With the clip-together style, we simply take the top off and she can remain seated in the bottom of the carrier. I would give this zero stars if I could. Returning.
