5.0 out of 5 stars XL Pet Carrier

A.C. · 9 June 2023

I bought this just over a month ago and wanted to give it a good trial before I review. I got the XL to take my two Jack Russell size dogs in our motorhome. My first observations were that the mesh and the associated zips seem quite delicate. I also found that putting together the two horizontal struts that make it a box from its folded away condition were difficult to operate, they have a spring loaded cup into which the end of one strut locates, but it has to pull the fabric of the box tight. That said, it performs brilliantly. The two dogs, not good travellers, settle down as soon as I put them in it. It's roomy enough for them so they can get up and the supplied cushion is comfortable, especially as it sits on one of the MH bench seats. The two struts get easier each time to connect, so I am no longer concerned. I've found that both the zips and mesh are adequate, but one needs to be gentle. It's easy both to fold away and store, and to quickly erect. For me, this has been a great buy. I no longer have two stressed dogs and I don't have to worry if they've tied each other up. And I can't knock the price as it is very well made, if a tad delicate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good for the price

We traveled for 13.5 hours with another crate that a friend gave me, which was great, but my puppy then chewed the zip once we arrived so we were no longer able to close it! We needed one to travel home again to prevent her chewing our belongings. I ordered this based on the reviews and I’m glad I did. The only downside at the moment is that it absolutely stinks!! I’m going to leave it outside overnight to give it some fresh air. Hopefully we can get rid of the smell before our 13.5 hour trip home!! My puppy liked the look of it so much she got straight in it and she’s still there an hour later!The pad that comes in it is very flimsy which doesn’t bother me as we use vet beds anyway, but within 20 seconds of getting in she had chewed a chunk of the fleece from the mat, so now there’s a bald patch! So if you have a chewy puppy, pop another blanket or bed in there.It also has a handy wee bag hanging off the end which would be big enough to store poo bags, some treats, a toy, maybe a small water bottle too. There’s also another pouch on the top which would store some more essentials. Very handy when doing a long journey to have all the bits they need close to hand.Some reviewers say that their dog scrabbled straight through the netting and this would happen if your dog isn’t used to or doesn’t like a crate. Ours is already used to and loves her metal crate in the house, plus I practiced shorter journeys with treats and a nice walk at the end so that she’d be happy in her travel crate. So that’s a training issue; it’s a travel crate after all, not a metal one, so it is definitely possible to rip it if you have a determined puppy/dog. If your dog is scrabbling then they’re not happy and probably shouldn’t be in there in the first place. It’s a fairly heavy-weight canvas and very well made so, for the money, I’m impressed.Would highly recommend and would buy again.

I do quite like this crate - it seems quite sturdy and it’s the perfect size for the boot of my Nissan Qashquai - my only criticism is the telescopic rods which go together to creat the frame are not easy to work - my son put it up and needed a goes at it - I took it down and u heard something crack I think a small piece of plastic broke although it still appears to work / I just think this mechanism could be easy to use . I like the fact can open up two dudes and top if needed. Nice and lightweight - haven’t actually used it for my pup yet as he hadn’t arrived - I think for the money this is a good value one - I looked at a lot on line !

5.0 out of 5 stars Extra large - robust enough for a strong dog

Really pleased with this purchase after searching around for a travel crate to take a 27kg dog. The extra large size is just slightly smaller than his usual metal crate but he was happy to travel and sleep in it, we used a blanket over the top to cover the mesh at night. The carrier has good handles for moving around and a really strong frame. It was super easy to put together - just 2 simple spring rods – and folds down flat when not in use. There are 2 opening sides, with a zipped mesh cover and one at the top. The zips are quite tight - need a bit of care when closing to ensure the mesh/zip is not under stress. There is a thinnish fleece bed pad but we added one of our own beds for extra padding and familiarity. Overall, great quality for the price.

This crate does the job and easy to put together I bought medium size fits in the car seat I use the seat belts to secure. Fits our puppy age 4 months cocker spaniel. Lightweight to transport. More expensive than sone but worth it

5.0 out of 5 stars Great item & excellent value for money!

Much sturdier than expected, fits my 11kg cocker spaniel with room to lie down. Multiple zipped doors makes the crate very functional and it comes with a little fleece mat in the bottom. Really pleased with purchase!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but didn't stand up to puppy teeth

My puppy loves it and overall it's a good crate, and I'm debating trying another for its price, however the 3 stars is simply because you need some serious strength to put the poles together when building it. I really hurt myself and I'm not exactly weak. I think that's because the fabric is pulled so tight, which also means the zips are under pressure when zipping up, so that always worried me I'd end up breaking the zip. But what's actually finished it off, our puppy has chewed the zippers, so they no longer zip up at all, so it's now useless as a travel crate which is what I bought it for. (we have a metal crate for home night time use). But I need one for taking to work and the in laws etc so needed something small and light which I can carry without hurting my back - it did do that job for a couple of months, which is why I'm tempted to try another and see how it goes! But just beware you have to be strong yet gentle with it and it's not puppy teeth proof!
