5.0 out of 5 stars At last...A truly "Airline Approved" kennel., April 17, 2009

If you are taking your pet on an airline, this is the only pet crate we could find that was truly "Airline Approved".

Most airlines require a plastic kennel that's bolted together with plastic or metal treaded screws (knob, clamp and clamshell locks are strictly forbidden on almost every airline), not top loading, allow for at least 1.5" of clearance from the sides on all sides, and vented on four sides.

This crate met all but one. The back of the carrier is not vented, but we solved that problem with a power drill and a 1/2" bit. 27 holes later and you have a truly airline approved pet crate.

BOTTOM LINE: IF YOU'RE PUTTING FLUFFY OR FIDO ON AN AIRPLANE, BUY THIS KENNEL!

5.0 out of 5 stars Home inside the home, January 23, 2008

By 

Parrish (Nashville) - See all my reviews

I breed and raise Great Danes, and this kennel is a wonderful addition to the house. It is big enough for a teenager, and makes them feel secure and safe. Much easier to clean than the wire ones, and you can travel with your giant dog on some airplanes. Too large for any but the biggest planes. But if you work to find an aircraft large enough to accomodate the mammoth size, you can take your friend where ever you go in this crate.

This review is from: Petmate Vari Kennel, Giant, Bleached Linen (Misc.)

I got this kennel beacause on the product description says that this kennel has rear vents that it is require by the airline I'm using to transport my dog but when I got the kennel delivery to my home I got with the surprise that it didn't have any rear vents like it says on the product description, of course I'm not very happy because this is a product that you buy according to the airline regulations and expend a lot of time looking for the one to fit with all these airline regulations that this product claim to have like the rear vents but it didn't,and now I don't have time to send it back and wait for amazon to send me another one with the rear vents like it says on their product description because I have to travel in a few days only.
I have order other products with amazon and i have always been very satisfied with their productcs and their service but this was my most important purchase because of all these airlines regulations and the lock of time and I couldn't believe this dog kennel didn't have the rear vents like it says on the product descriptions.
