"I raise and show cats, showing cats demands that I drive long distances to get to cat shows. These carriers are perfect for traveling as they allow enough space for the cat, it bed and a litter box.

"This crate is used only when we travel, so used very few times a year. This year when I got it out, a tear in one whole side. This has been great until this point and now my dog can just get out, leaving us in a world of hurt while on vacation."

Bottom Line

This crate is best suited for small dogs and short-term use. Owners of larger dogs or those with destructive pets should look elsewhere. The high variance in user experience suggests a lack of consistency in product quality.
