Cheap Petmate Pet Porter 2 , For Pets 30 to 50 Pounds, Camp

Customer Ratings:

This is working out very well for my 8-month old lab/heeler mix. She is a little smaller than I would expect for her breed and age (around 30 pounds now) so the kennel is larger than we probably need -I think it would accomodate many dogs up to 50 pounds as a travel crate. It is so hard to guess the size correctly when ordering over the Internet! But she is comfortable inside, so no one complains. The kennel is easy to assemble. The door does not line up perfectly, and I have several times THOUGHT that it was latched when either the top or bottom was not quite set. For that reason, when we travel with this kennel, I double and triple zip-tie the door to make sure it is secure. The kennel is also not convenient to move when the dog is inside, as there are no easy places to grab hold. This is not the sturdiest kennel I have owned, but it does the job. I always ask to watch my dog get loaded onto the plane because I am a little nervous about how this kennel is handled. I will probably purchase a sturdier travel kennel once she is full-grown and I know what size we will need for sure. This is an excellent kennel in the mean-time, especially for the price, and is definitely all anyone would need for home and car use. One note: the dark color of the kennel makes it difficult to see my dog inside sometimes. The positive side of that is that she sleeps well in her cozy, dark den. The negative side is that, when she is actually being transported, I pretty much have to have a flashlight or take her out of the kennel (if allowed) to check on her! I didn't realize the benefit of white/light kennels until I got this one.

GREAT PRODUCT! I've tried some other brands and didn't have much luck. My energetic Pitbull was an escape artist in some of the wireframe cages... I resorted to using zipties and steel carabiners to keep that one shut. This crate has held up so well that I actually purchased a second one for use at work. Our dog is about 45lbs and she has just enough space to stand up, turn around, etc.

Honest reviews on Petmate Pet Porter 2 , For Pets 30 to 50 Pounds, Camp

I love this crate and my dog loves this crate, more importantly. It is as sturdy as it needs to be, unless you have an escape artist type dog that hates being in a crate and really wants out, but then a dog like that would be hard to keep in any crate. But it assembled easily and it is great for our needs.
