I ordered the carrier to take my cat to the vet. Basically I had to strong arm the cat head first into the carrier, but after that Charlie found it to be his to his liking. The carrier was easy to use and the right size for a 15 pound tabby.

Really good product for the price. Better than similar ones at WalMart, for instance. And, half the price. Light, and easy to use. Made in Italy. Nice to see something that was not made in China, for a change.

this pet carrier works great for my 14 pound calico cat i took her for a drive so she would get use to it for the vet and she loves it. yes i would rocemmend this pet carrier to a friend

My sister got this cat carrier for me for Christmas as I have several cats and need to take them to the veterinarian regularly for checkups and shots. It came in a brown box, padded well. However, while it came in three parts (the top, the bottom, and the plastic latches for the sides and the doors in one twist-off piece), there were no assembly instructions. I had to figure out how to put in the latches and locks by putting the top over the bottom, and carefully align it so that the slots in the holes matched up correctly before pushing each latch in. A little brain power, but not too much. The box did come with an order form where you could order replacement parts, though.

Several reviewers noted that there was a problem with the door latches. I concur. The top and bottom front have raised ridges where the plastic door latches are meant to be pushed over to "lock" the door. So in testing it out, my youngest cat got in -- to explore, naturally! -- and I locked the door. But after picking it up and carrying it around the house a bit and then setting the carrier down, he was able to pop the door by pushing on it because the motion (both my walking and his motion inside the carrier) dislodged the door latches from the raised ridges. The metal grated door literally popped out when I set it down.

I'd rate this particular carrier "average" for very short trips, not for long road trips (which I plan in the future). You get what you pay for, in short. I'd get something better designed, even it it costs more money and latches much more securely.

It is a nice carrier, but my kitten opened the locks somehow within the first half an hour. She was jumping up and down inside as she was scared, but I think the locks should be stronger than that.

I obviously knew I wasn't getting a top of the line pet carrier, so this is a pretty nice one for my needs. The only issue is with the door falling off sometimes, but that's just a matter of making sure it's on tight. Overall, a nice product.

Easy to assemble. Size is ideal for a small, not too heavy cat. Simple operation of the door. Appears sturdy and I'm hoping long-lasting. I purchased 2 of them. They were a very good value for the price.

This crate is fine for the price. The small size is really small, make sure your dog is a small puppy or a miniature/toy breed of some sort if you are going to buy the small one.

I actually would have liked some instructions. After I figured it out, I realized that this crate was quite easy to use and clean.

I like this Crate, it's the perfect size for my little chihuahua, although he isn't a huge fan of it yet... we just need to get him used to it. The shipping was fast it arrived right on schedule, the only problem is it didn't come with instructions for assembly... assembly wasn't too hard, but i was confused a bit. Overall it's a good little crate for small pets.
