| This kennel has been perfect from the moment it arrived. It was extremely simple to erect; all the parts are already attached. You just have to "expand" the collapsed kennel and close a few hooks. It is sturdy enough to contain my miniature schnauzer while I am at work, and he loves sleeping in it at night. I would highly recommend this product and this company. |
Wire Dog Kennel with all the extras you need

| The Petmate Deluxe Edition Wire Kennel has all the extras to make your life easier. The dog probably won't notice the difference. I love having the extra door on the top of the crate for easily adding toys or bedding. I know the small door-in-door on the front is for feeding access but I use it for that last bit of scratching before I leave for work. |

Great Finish... poor welding

This crate was great looking. It felt good. It broke down into an easy to carry thing with a built in handle. However, the little service door in the front door (feeding access) is made of smaller diameter metal than the rest of the kennel. My medium 26 lb. dog broke all the bars off the little door, escaped, chewed down 2 window curtains, one set of mini-blinds, and the back door curtain. Anyway, I figured it would be a hassle to return it and decided to twist 12 guage copper wire into strong bars to replace the now missing door. I haven't had a problem since. Also, I found that if I put the kennel near a window that little Penny could see out of, she calmed down a lot. Lesson learned, I guess.
Buy it? Sure. Just make sure your dog doesn't have much anxiety. In addition to the widow thing, I also placed an old shirt in the kennel that I had worn. My scent, I believe, helps keep her calm. She hasn't had an "accident" since I did that. She's not a puppy, by the way.
I had to replace the door. I'm not sure if that is because of faulty welds (actually, one bar was still attached and came off without much force by me) or my dogs mighty robo-bite. Whatever. The unit is very nice except for the ugly copper repair job... |
Dangerous Kennel

I bought this crate for a new puppy about 6 months ago. It has a couple of features that are nice. The rubber feet are great for damping down noise and saving the floor, and the multiple doors are great for reaching in from the top, etc. But I've stopped using it because it's so flimsy. The rounded corners are part of the front and back panels, and don't line up with the sides at all. On my crate, which is 25 inches high, there's just a single hook in the middle holding the side to the front, and there are 1 inch gaps at the top and bottom. Also, the back, which is designed to fold into the crate for storage, has such a shallow catch at the top that it actually fell into the crate onto the puppy a couple of times.
This could be a nice crate if all the pieces fit together better, and had much better joins between the pieces, but as it is, I think it's dangerous. |
