I bought this carrier for my tom cat who weighs about 20lbs. If you are buying this to accommodate a larger/heavier pet, BE WARNED: the crate will FLEX under their weight. On several occasions, this actually caused the door to open and my cat literally fell out into a parking lot. On the final occasion of using this crate, it flexed and the carry handle on top simply popped out of place. I was at the top of a staircase when this occurred. Can you guess what happened? Yes, my cat, in his carrier, was tossed helplessly end over end down a flight of stairs because this crate does not actually hold up for heavier pets. I am also writing a letter directly to the company to alert them to this flaw in design.

This is an awesome carrier at an awesome price! Super easy to put together, and super sturdy. I haven't experienced the flimsiness with the door and having to bend the plastic that one of the other reviewers mentioned. Everything fits together very smoothly, and it's very roomy inside. The colors are very nice and it looks way more expensive than it was. My puppy is learning to like it, too.
One thing I will say is pay attention to the sizing. It says large, but they recommend use for dogs (or cats) under 25 lbs, so I wouldn't call it large and I wouldn't get it if you have a large breed puppy. It's fine for my puppy though, she has more than enough room and space to grow so it works for me!

Also, I highly recommend [..](who seem to be the only ones selling this for such a good price, but order it from Amazon because I think it's more expensive on their website last I checked!) I've made 3 orders from them now, including the one for this carrier, and they always have the lowest prices! The shipping is very fast too.
I have no affiliation from them, just thought I'd mention it since I wish I had found them earlier!

This is a fine lightweight kennel. Our small 14lb dog fits in it perfectly.
The door is a bit flimsy, by that I mean the pins that insert into the top and bottom of the box dont always line up with their holes, and you bend the plastic cage slightly to make it fit. No real problem with that, but it is a bit flimsy.

Very nice - and large - pet carrier. I use it to transport two cats. Easy to assemble and seems quite sturdy. Well worth the money.

The kennel is very well built. It is definitely worth the money. It was above average in quality when considering the price. I am very pleased with it.

bought this crate thinking that "large" actually meant large. the plastic is thin and flimsy. i wouldn't recommend it for anything larger than a toy breed of dog. It buckled under the weight of my puppy. The closing mechanism for each half is very cheap. The gate is cheap metal. I tried to return it but the shipping- even the cheapest offered by UPS- is far more expensive than the price of the crate- $75!

I have never written a review before, but I felt compelled to do so in this case. I purchased this crate thinking that it would be a large as it was avertised, but it was not. I am sure this would be good for a toy type dog or a cat but not for a large dog.

I surprised when I received this kennel It looks better in person than in photos

I own two of these attractive pet carriers. We use them at home and for travel with our mini-schnauzer. They are very well-made and give him enough room to sleep and move around. He seems to be more comfortable in the carrier while the car is in motion. I also like the two-way door feature and highly recommend this crate for anyone with pets.

When researching a new crate for our Chinese Crested, I decided on the Petmate Kennel Cab. I checked all the sizing information (as clearly stated on the Amazon website) and chose accordingly. It fit our dog perfectly. It's not the sturdiest of kennels, but we only needed it for home use and not travel, so this is fine. It would have been a 5-Star review if I felt completely comfortable transporting our dog in it, in case we needed to travel with it.

I am so tired of reading poor reviews of products that people write when it's their own fault the product didn't work for them. Yes, this is called a large. Is it very large? No. But the dimensions are listed. Learn to research before buying and stop blaming the companies. It's your own responsibility to spend your money wisely.
