 Not worth the money Jun 04, 2009

"just another customer"
I have a Classic Kennel that I bought from Petco for $55. I wanted a second crate for crate training and bought this one because I thought they were comparable. They are not.
The Petmate kennel is made from flimsy plastic compared to the Classic Kennel. You can feel the plastic flex on the Petmate. The Classic Kennel has quality screws that attach the top to the bottom; the Petmate has cheap molded plastic clips. The door fits perfectly on the Classic Kennel; the door is ill-fitted on the Petmate and is difficult to close.
Basically, it looks like the Petmate went with the cheapest materials to keep their costs down. I would not transport an animal in it, although I will keep it for crate training. Too difficult to return.
Update: 6/9/2009
After having this kennel for about 1 week, I have been able to get the door to close by taking the reviewer's advice above. I cut away some of the plastic to the kennel opening. I also had to reverse the door (open right to left). However, the cheap plastic clips that hold the kennel together keep popping off.

 Good, inexpensive crate Dec 14, 2008
By rare bird
This is a great crate for shipping foster pups to their forever homes. It is meets airline standards, is light weight but sturdy. and easy to clean. The door can be mounted to open from either right or left side. The only reason that I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that all 3 we have purchased all had sharp protrusions on the edges where the top and bottom pieces fit together. Sharp enough to cause a rather deep scrape on the back of fingers during assembly. The edges smoothed out easily with an emery board, however.

 Perfect for our Shih Tzu Puppy Feb 11, 2009
By Chris
The right size kennel for your Shih Tzu. Our puppy is 4 months old now and about 9 or 10 lbs. Looks like this kennel will be big enough even when he's full grown.

adequate Oct 08, 2009
By T. Florin
It's cheaply made and despite being called "large," it's for small to medium sized dogs.

Review Jul 28, 2011
By laura
I purchased this product trying to save a litte bit of money. I would not recommend this for any dog. I bought these for 4 small dogs under 6 lbs. They are not durable. The plastic is thin. Having purchased 4 to begin with with in the last year all are cracked. They do not stand up to the test of time. Maybe for a light weight cat, rabbit or small rodent this may work. I am now back in the process of purchasing 4 new durable kennels that will last. Update, having read the reviews on the Petmate Vari Kennel, Small, Bleached Linen I have decided to purchased 2 of these kennels. It has been over six months and they have held up quite nicely. In fact I am purchasing two more. Hint, save your money and buy the better kennel to begin with. I wish I would have!
