Petmate Deluxe Edition Wire Dog Kennel - Intermediate

It works great for our 6 mo Vizsla Harvey. I dont know if he likes it but we do. It looks better in the living room than a plastic travel crate.

Not the best dog crate. Would not purchase again.

I use this crate for my 44lb lab. It is the perfect size for her. It was easy to assemble and is lightweight. However, the wire is not as substantial as another crate I have. But overall a good buy.

With this brand, it's not a matter of if you'll have a problem, it's when and how bad. I've had four problems with this grate, but didn't realize just how bad they were until I started searching online after the last event. When I first got the crate, my 10 lb Manchester Terrier puppy managed to break off enough of the thin bars on the door to squeeze through the gap. I had to zip-tie a cooling rack to the door to keep her contained. Second, I was using the crate for a foster dog. There is a good sized gap at at the bottom front corners. The dog got his foot out through the gap then in pulling his foot back, it slid toward the middle and got pinched between the pan and the little door that secures the pan inside the crate. I have no idea how long the dog was stuck, but when I got home, he was simply exhausted from trying to get his foot free. The only way I could get his foot free was to quickly and firmly jerk his foot back to the corner. I've never heard a dog scream so bad! He dind't put weight on his foot for a week. I ended up zip-tieing the corners to close the gap. Third, was with another foster dog. He somehow managed to pull on the front pannel and get it to unlatch from the top. Fortunately, I walked into the room right when it happened and he didn't get injured. (Zip-ties to the rescue again) This morning was event #4. It was the same foster dog as event 3. This time, he pulled on the front panel and managed to break the welds at the bottom of the crate and bent the front panel and door up and inside the crate making a big enough hole to escape. Do yourself a favor and get rid of this crate before your animals are severly injured or worse.

I have had this crate for 5 years and it has held up very well. I use it at home for crate training - my puppy sleeps in it. I have also used it to transport to shows and use at benched shows. It is especially nice because it has 2 inches extra height over the equivalent size crates and the rounded corners protect your vehicle upolstery and clothing from being snagged. I use a bath mat upside down under the crate pan to make it more stable. The door in door is great for putting in treats or water bucket without risking a pets escape.

Great buy; I paid more at another site. Top door is great and it is much nicer than the crates you see at national chain stores.

A great choice for daily use. The extra doors are very handy.

My dog has always had some separation anxiety so I have had to start using a crate when I leave her or she does the bathroom thing in the house. She's 10 years old so I didn't know how this crating her would go. Although this is much bigger than a suggested crate, I felt that putting her an a bigger, airy crate where she could sit at the front door and watch the cars would be good since she's an older dog. She really doesn't mind it. And it is saving my house. I have on at work too as she goes to work with me every day. It's built so well, I'm not afraid of her tearing it up as she did another one. Love it.
