Pet Mate 21947 Vari Kennel II Traditional,Taupe/Black, 28" Medium

I have to give this pet carrier a five star rating, because it’s durable, well made and the assembly instructions were clear and detailed.It was brought for the transportation of my small dog (whippet) to a local vet. I purchased this with the intention of transporting the dog via my mobility scooter but it was too big.Nevertheless, it wasn’t a purchase in error item that will just sit around the home. It is used as and when she wants somewhere safe to be. Somewhere cool and dark. Safe from fireworks etc.I know it’s not soundproof but it’s a sanctuary place almost.It can be dismantled whenever needed and can be half the size needed if need be.Also it’s stronger than the fabric ones available, this was a huge concern. When I first brought my puppy, she was a chewer. She has demolished quite a few robust items, so the fabric ones were eliminated straight away.The door or gate is very secure I’d just like to add. My wee lass is very excitable and very strong for her size. Yet if I had to use the cage to allow me to do something (like open the door) me being disabled and a wheelchair user, the door being a side door onto the street. She would run for eternity lolIt would just make things much harder for me. If I was to shut her away for two minutes whilst I take an Amazon parcel in, it helps. Trust me!I hope this review helps someone who is carefully considering their choices! Best wishes

Carrier looked well made but unfortunately it was too big for my car otherwise I would have definitely kept it .

I cant rate this crate highly enough. Used it flying my lab x from the uk to Thailand. Then to Amsterdam and then home. It's been solid all through and it's still in near perfect condition. Was also used as his bed in Thailand for 6 months.

Good quality material, strong fastenings. But it was sold as ready for air travel - not true, it was necessary to buy separately a kit with suitable stickers for the crate (LIVE ANIMAL), clip on water dish, and metal screws etc as plastic is not permitted for plane travel. That is my only criticism.

Great. Not cheap but good quality. Wasted some time on the duplication of the order and getting them to correct it.

Should have come with water containers

Good airy crates

The crate looks very nice but be aware the internal dimensions are a lot less than the external. We ordered the same size as our cage but have had to return it for the next size up.
