Take Your Pet Anywhere
The Firstrax NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate Indoor/Outdoor Pet Home allows you to take your best friend with you anywhere you go. Bring the portable pet crate along with you on family vacations, trips to the groomers or visits to the veterinarian. It's perfect for quick trips and extended excursions, great for overnight hotel stays, or simply set up at home to create a quiet, safe retreat for your dog or cat.
Simple Setup and Storage
You will find the NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate Pet Home is easy to set up and breakdown. Push button tabs and couplers located in the steel frame tubes allow the unit to be raised or collapsed within seconds and the accordion design allows it to store flat. Put it in a closet for easy storage, under the furniture for easy access, or put it in the trunk of your car and take it on the go. Its lightweight design makes it extremely easy to carry and move from place to place.
Ingenious Construction and Design
The unique design of your NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate Pet Home provides a durable enclosure for your pet. The outside is constructed of a heavy-duty tight weave mesh fabric, while the steel frame endoskeleton provides superior strength and support for the fabric. The mesh windows are perforated like a honeycomb to encourage airflow throughout the Sof-Krate providing a more comfortable environment for your dog or cat to enjoy. Three doors (front, side and top) allow for easier access. Each door can be rolled up and secured open with the provided fastening straps. Additional features include industrial strength zippers and door latches to safely secure your favorite companion.
Cleaning is No Problem
Cleaning your NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate is extremely easy. Each model is constructed with a water resistant base for quick and easy cleanup; simply clean up any pet waste, wipe down the material with a stain and odor remover (we recommend Nature's Miracle), and allow it to air dry. For more extensive cleaning, just remove the fully washable cover from the steel frame and throw it in with the rest of the laundry; it really is that effortless!

It's Completely Safe for You and Your Pet
The safety of your pet is as important to us as it is to you. All parts of your NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate are made of lightweight non-toxic materials that contain absolutely no sharp or small pieces that could potentially harm your pet. The specially designed rounded corners protect against accidental damage to auto interiors and home décor that may be caused by moving or transporting the carrier. And, the mesh windows provide proper ventilation while your pet is inside.
Choosing the Correct Size for Your Pet
NOZTONOZ Sof-Krate Pet Homes are available in five sizes to accommodate almost any size pet. First, measure your pet from the top of his head to the floor; the Sof-Krate only needs to be one to two inches taller than this measurement. Second, measure your pet from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail; the Sof-Krate only needs to be four to six inches longer than this measurement. This will allow your pet enough room to stand up, turn around and lay down comfortably in his Sof-Krate. You can of course provide a larger space for your pet, but remember that dogs are den animals and feel most comfortable and secure in an enclosed area. Use the handy chart located below to choose the perfect Sof-Krate for your pet needs.
Benefits of Crate Training
You can use your Sof-Krate Pet Home to housebreak and crate train a new puppy. The benefits of training with a Sof-Krate include:
- Dramatically reduced housebreaking time.
- A crate trained puppy will travel much easier.
- Crate training teaches your puppy desirable behavior.
- Crate training improves and strengthens the pet/owner bond.
- Crate training provides security and privacy by providing your puppy with its own "home" when he becomes tired or anxious.
- It provides you peace of mind that your home is not being damaged and your pet is safe while you're out.
Important Safety Tips
Although your Sof-Krate Pet Home is extremely well made, no fabric crate will contain a pet that is an aggressive chewer or scratcher. Leaving your pet unattended for extended periods of time may cause anxiety for your pet and cause him to scratch or chew to escape.
Remove your pet's leash and collar prior to placing him in his Sof-Krate to prevent accidental choking.
Never, ever leave your pet unattended in a car!

Customer Reviews
We've had two problems. One is that our newest dog (a year old puppy) chewed through one of the zippers within the first week. We solved that problem with some training, and we still use the crate with that opening against the wall. So obviously not for chewers.
The second problem is the most concerning for me. Other people have mentioned the smell... I can't state this strongly enough - these crate smell like a petroleum product. We initially had the crates in our great room, and sure enough the smell seemed to go away after a few weeks. We recently moved the crates into our bedroom and discovered that in fact, they do still smell. Strongly enough that I'm concerned about the effect on our dogs overtime. We usually don't zipper the doors anymore, so the dogs can come and go as they please and they are still choosing to go in their crates (like I said earlier - cozy!). But the smell bothers me, so I can imagine how it must bother the dogs who have a much more keen sense of smell.
The prices on these crates keep going down (other websites sold them a while back retail for $180) so I would imagine that they are aware of the smell problem....
Easy setup, and very durable. Our boy is a chewer, and he's given up trying to chew on this crate.
Seemed very large when we first got it, but now his paws brush the sides/back when he stretches out. He's about 7 months old and 55 lbs, so is not yet fully grown. You might want to consider the 42 inch model if you have a dog that will grow to 70+ lbs.
