Petmate Deluxe Edition Wire Dog Kennel - Large

We bought three for travelng with our labs. Albeit they should have the extra large crates, we thought these would be sufficient for keeping in the "burb" for day/overnight travel. I wanted them to have more fresh air, more visability, bigger over-all space, etc. My husband thinks it's uneccessary,especially since the plastic crates stay warmer for them after being in/out of water, wind & cold. After setting these up and putting our labs in, they seem just as comfortable as they did in the plastic and actually prefer the plastic. **The back of one of the crates keeps faling in on our dog and is rather dangerous.** We have plastic-tied it up now, but it will have to be done each time we set up/down. A bit of a pain. The crates seem a bit whimpy in the design, but for a small-average non-aggressive dog, I think they would be great.

Does the job

Very good crate at a very good price!

It's your standard kennel, and a great value for the price we paid. The only odd part, though, was that this was clearly a 'seconds' item, which I don't remember being advertised in the write up. So, the door on the end was in the right place, but the second door (on the side) was actually on top. It's no big deal for us, since we use the door on the end. But, something to consider if the side door is important to you. We'd definitely still buy it again.

The Extra Doors are very back friendly : ) Easy assembly. I Love this Kennel. It's safer for young ones, with rounded edges & the raised tray is excellent for puppy accidents. This is a great crate for any dog & any dog owner.
