SportPet Airline Compliant X-LARGE 32.25" Travel Dog Kennel-Durable Plastic A...

As an animal rescuer for more than 20 years I’ve bought a LOT of crates of all kinds for both airline and vehicle transport use as well as in the home. When I downsized to a MINI for road transport it became very difficult to get my other airline crates in my vehicle; I needed one that was 23” high or less so it didn’t have to be assembled inside the vehicle and that had a secure way to attach the clamshell halves that was easier on the fingers and preferably the wire ventilation because dogs can chew through the hole-in-the-plastic kind. THIS kennel fit all the criteria perfectly and even had extra bonus items. The sides have easy-snap latches that can be locked PLUS holes for the wing nut bolts or zip ties for extra security. The latches alone are fine for my car transport use and make it easy to break down to nest in itself afterward. The wire ventilation windows are sturdier and safer. This model has detachable wheels AND a handle at both ends so it’s easy to maneuver for storage or along the airport concourse to inspection. The wheels can pop off with the push of a tab, no tools needed, or be secured with screws if that’s going to best suit how you’ll use it. This is one of the very best quality crates I’ve ever bought and also includes two small bowls and “LIVE ANIMAL” stickers and checklist for airline use. Even better was that it was available for $80 as a new-used item (box had minor damage, product was perfect). Thank you to the seller for such a great product that helps save lives and to Amazon for making it half the cost what this would be locally so I have more money for vet bills. Excellent value!

Great kennel! Several things I thought to share: - Easy to put together, slightly misalligned in one corner, but doesn’t make a difference as it’s still secure. - It rolls very easily. The only thing that they might try to improve on is brakes on all four wheels rather than just the front ones. - The wheels are easy to remove and put on. However, it’s a bit difficult to put the wheels back on if your dog is inside (like mine was). He’s only 20lbs or so and I got the large because he’s a slightly long boy. But it’s a bit difficult when you have noodle arms and no one to help. - It comes with two plastic but sturdy dishes. A bit on the smaller end for a larger furrbaby, but if they’re flying, it’s good enough. Might be a bit difficult for flat-nosed furrbabies though. - The handles on top are a great addition. You can use it to roll the kennel around, making it virtually weightless in the airport. I used a leash and looped it around the handle for easier pulling with my stubby noodle arms. But if you’re lifting it, it’s a bit bulky but light enough for me (remember, noodle arms and arm span of almost nothing - AKA 5’2” at 115lbs). - The inside is spacious, and has grooves on the bottom around the kennel, incase they go have an accident. I’d recommend a peepad and an absorbant (or waterproof, depending on your preference. I chose absorbant so it can dry and he’s not sitting in his accident for several hours.) blanket. Most airlines say small blanket, but I was able to get away with a pretty big one because it’s dips down a bit when your furbaby goes into the kennel. All-in-all, a great product if you have to send your baby via cargo, and they won’t allow you to take them into the plane. Highly recommend for the price point.

Can’t understand why this is a frequently returned item. Maybe because it’s larger than what people think? I have a 24 pound big cat and have been traveling with him in a medium size metal crate. Crate is too big and I think he would prefer something smaller so he feels safer because he hates to travel. We’re typically in the car no more than 2.5-3.5 hours. Have looked at a number of pet carriers because he’s so big that most the small crates are too small, he would destroy a soft crate and the larger crates are too big. Found this one and it was purrfect. He can stand up and he can turn around because he’s a cat, even though he’s morbidly obese he’s amazingly bendy and squashy. He also didn’t allow me to put it together before he claimed it. I had to assemble it with him in it and assembly was very easy, great design. Excellent sturdy construction, we do not plan on traveling in a plane so I can’t speak for that, the “certificate” it came with saying it was plane compliant was dated 2013. Things may have changed since then but there’s no way an animal is getting out of this without assistance. If you’re planning to travel on a plane, just try to make sure there will be no loose monkeys because they could definitely figure out how to open the door. We will be taking a trip fairly soon and I hope that he is happier in this than he was in the metal crate. Of course he wouldn’t cooperate to get a side-by-side picture and he looks too big in the video where he’s standing on top, but the crate accommodates him beautifully. Well ventilated, but won’t allow him to stick his fat paw through to claw shred my car, cool water/food dishes and stickers to stick all over it letting everyone know it contains a LIVE ANIMAL. Could also be used for a raccoon as long as his hands were not too tiny, so as not to reach them through the door to open it from the outside.

Great carrier, sturdy & easily moved

Absolute game-changer for traveling with my German Shepperd. It’s incredibly sturdy and well-built, with thick plastic walls and a strong wire door that feels secure and reliable. My dog immediately felt comfortable inside because the crate is very spacious, giving him plenty of room to stand, turn around, and lie down without feeling cramped. Used it for airplane travel One of the best features is the smooth-rolling wheels, which make moving the crate effortless—even when you’ve got a 80+ lb dog inside. The wheels snap on and off easily, which is perfect for airport travel. Assembly was surprisingly simple, and the crate meets airline requirements, giving me peace of mind for flights. Update: Wheels started to come out, I had to glue them.

I got this case for my very large cat because he didn't fit in my other pet carriers. This kennel is heavy and very well made. It was easy to assemble, but it's not a case that I will take apart to store in the closet. I kind of wish it had wheels, because the kennel weight plus a 20 pound cat makes it difficult to carry!

I debated back and forth before deciding to purchase this crate. We have always had giant breed dogs (St. Bernard, Great Dane, Bullmastiff) and currently have a 48 inch crate by a different manufacturer. We have a mastiff mix “puppy” (1 year old) who has outgrown our puppy crate (size large). Many other reviews left me hesitant to buy this crate but then I read one by a kennel owner who said it was the best giant breed crate she’s had and I decided to roll the dice. To be clear, we are not going to travel with this crate. Anytime you are assembling a crate of this size it is an in place project. Once assembled it doesn’t fit through doors or into cars well unless you have doors wider than 36” and a cargo van or xxxl suv. We are going to use it as a safe space in our house for our dog when we are not home. It is actually slightly larger than our Petmate kennel and the plastic is slightly less thick. Our dogs are kennel trained so this won’t be a problem for us. If you have an escape artist you may want to make a different choice. (The plastic on the Petmate is virtually indestructible even to a dog trying to dig out.) However one of the things that stands out is the ease of assembly. It’s easily done by one person and extra bolts and wing nuts are included. Also the door latch is much easier to use than our other kennel and the door is larger. I think we’ll be very happy with this crate for our purposes. It actually has more internal space than our other crate. All pictures are without the wheels. I have included photos of it next to the Petmate for comparison. It is the kennel with the light colored top and gray bottom. Dog pictured is 125 pounds.

It works great. And the wheels are a lifesaver getting thru the airport.

Good quality durable worth money

Excelente calidad, es gruesa y resistente. Tiene el tamaño adecuado según las medidas ofrecidas como referencia. Viene con todo lo que se menciona incluyendo los stickers y el certificado para poder viajar en avión. Muy recomendado

Excelente calidad, no había visto este tipo de kennel con llantas que se quitan y ponen, tan bien reforzado. Pronto lo pondré a prueba en un viaje largo, actualizaré mi reseña de acuerdo a que tal nos vaya.

The brand new kennel arrived in tact , as advertised , all parts included, metal screws , ' live animal ' stickers for all sides as well as an ITIA certificate from the manufacturer stating approved essentials for flying. Medium kennel, perfect for my 63cm long Maltese. Plenty of space inside for standing and turning. Very happy after a long search between different kennels, manufacturers and hundreds of reviews. Just a note: I am not using the bowls supplied for the flight, even though perfect for cage , but ordered a ball mechanism container, refillable from outside . No mess.

Necesito dos más , pero no hay en existencia , favor de contactarme
