## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, can you please tell me how much this kennel weighs?**
A: We have the Giant Kennel (65+ lb dog). The Giant Kennel weighs approximately 40 lbs and takes up a bunch of space but if you need a kennel for a larger dog, this works really well and holds up great.

**Q: Are the 4 bolts enough for flying my pets on a plane?**
A: It actually comes with way more than 4 bolts. I have used this kennel 3 times to fly a dog with no problems!

**Q: Are the fasteners plastic or metal?  The airline we're using requires all metal fasteners.**
A: They are metal bolts but the nuts were plastic so I just bought some that were all metal.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008AJYMJI/ref=pd_aw_sim_199_3?refRID=1PZW70GMJN487CS85FXF

**Q: Is it sturdy?  I have a do who is an escape artist and breaks out of wire crates.**
A: The size I bought is slightly smaller than the 36" and I have Tibetan Spaniels. They haven't been aggressive with it, so it's been fine for them. Vari-Kennels were always good for my German Shepherds. If you have only used wire crates, you may find that the more enclosed  plastic crate have a more calming den-like quality that helps settle your dog. Suggestion: when you get the plastic crate, leave the door open for a day or two and throw in a favorite treat a few times a day to make your dog more comfortable with being in it before being locked in it.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Shipping Crate
*by R***O on April 4, 2013*

I bought this crate for shipping my 70lb Malamute/Shepherd from Seattle to Hawaii. It worked perfectly, got him to me safe and sound, and turns out to be a great on-the-go carrier as well.In researching carriers I decided to go with a bigger than necessary carrier as my dog is fluffy and tall. This way he would pass muster at the airport. The carrier was delivered timely and without a problem. It was even easily assembled by my not quite mechanically inclined father. The carrier is solidly molded plastic with metal screws and plastic nuts that hold the two halves together. There are two screws at the door (one on each side), three along each side, and two in the back. The screws also have a square neck at their base allowing them to 'lock' into the bottom half of the carrier and not unscrew themselves in transit. There are full panels of large vents on all three sides (*back included*) on the top half of the carrier. I went with this style mainly because my dog is a bit of an escape artist and I read reviews of the other 'set-in' wire vents being popped out. It is also one of the few large carriers that has venting in the back to be IATA compliant. The door is a simple squeeze type lock, that rotates on a single stationary rod. The metal rods protrude into small molded cavities for each contact point (not just a hole) making it nice and secure. There are also pre-drilled zip-tie holes to even more securely lock the door. They even got these right putting one hole on each side at the top corners of the door, one on each side on the bottom corners of the door, and one on each side in the middle of the door sides and staggered it so one side zips to the top half of the carrier, and the other zips to the bottom half. They also have pre-drilled airplane tie down holes in the corners of the lip where two halves meet. The bottom of the carrier has a raised center area creating an approximately 2 inch border "moat" around the outer edge of the crate bottom that helps pool any fluids away from the dog should they be unable to control themselves on the scary flight. It does not come with a carry handle on the top of the carrier (it's too heavy to carry like that) but does have built in carry grips on the sides of the carrier. The camouflage color is actually subtle and not obnoxious at all. The bottom half is solid dark green. I am very pleased with the carrier and definitely recommend it for your pet transport needs.Oh, the only down side. For travel purposes it does not come with food/water bowls, or required 'live animal' stickers. But those are easily found here on Amazon, or at your local pet store.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally a kennel my puppy can’t get his teeth stuck in!
*by C***E on March 29, 2024*

The media could not be loaded. I recently took in a foster (though quickly knew I was going to foster fail) and he FREAKED out in a kennel. We went through THREE of them. I am typically a big dog person, yet somehow this 10lb boy has made kennel training total hell. In your typical wire kennel, he would get his teeth stuck in the bars. In a fabric kennel/playpen, he ripped holes or tore the zipper. And in a metal play pen, he climbed the walls like a skilled mountain climber and hopped right on out, landing in his head every single time. With zero Fs to give. This door has small holes, so he cannot stick his small snoot through it and get his teef stuck. He also seemed to love it immediately, going in it without me ever asking. Praise the lort! Best purchase ever… I can finally leave my house.PS. I had the most trouble finding a bed for this, but after many purchases, I found a crate pad that fits it PERFECTLY! Go to Walmart and purchase the Vibrant Life Cozy Luxe Crate Mat 24". Or whichever size is slightly smaller than the kennel you purchase. It fits like it is MADE for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT for larger kitties!
*by B***L on October 7, 2023*

I have a 10 pound cat that absolutely HATES getting into a carrier. he fights me every single time, and I discovered that it was because his other carriers have all been 19 or 22 inches long. he isn’t very tall, but damn does he have a long body.. he couldn’t fit comfortably in his other ones LOL. anyways, it was really hard to find a carrier 24 or 26 inches at a good price NOT well over $50. this was the best option for me, price wise and quality wise. for $30 you get a good sized carrier, and really easy assembly instructions. i purchased a crate pad for the bottom of it separately and now my baby won’t get out… he thinks it’s his new bed!!! I will make an update review when I use it at his vet visit 5 days from now. until then, if you’ve had doubts about purchasing this carrier… DO IT!!! so far in my trail run, my kitty loves it!!!!*UPDATE 11/26*I have used this carrier for my 10 lb cat, and my 6 lb cat as well. it looked like the Escalade of cat carriers for the 6lb kitty LOL! She also hates the carrier, and getting her n and out of this one is a breeze, she even walks in on her own accord (for Turkey ofc)
