We bought the medium size and large size Guardian Gear kennel. With two dogs, kids and lots of activities, it really helps to be able to fold the crate down flat and store it easily when not needed. Not having to take a heavy plastic kennel in and out of the car is a huge bonus. The crates have large windows and sturdy zippers and seams. Additional appreciated features included velcro pockets along the sides, carry case and fleece kennel pad. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because the board the fleece fits over was very flimsy. On opening the crate for the first time, I saw that the fleece pad had slipped off the board. When I tried to slide it back on, the board cracked in several places. It seems to be made of something like veneer and was not durable at all. Also, as it was laying on the carpet, it cracked when my 6 year old child stepped on the edge. While this was very disappointing, it is will be easy to replace with cardboard, thin plywood or even lightweight plexiglass. The bottom line: I am pleased with the quality of every other part of the kennel and so would still recommend this product.

I already own many different types of crates from wire crates to the airline approved kennels. I commute between my farm in Pennsylvania and an apartment in NYC. I no longer drive myself and I needed an easy to handle crate for my rottweiler to use in someone else's vehicle. This soft crate is exactly what I needed. It assembles in a minute, is roomy and well ventilated and fits easily in the back of a Ford Escape (with half the back seat folded down to expand the cargo area)
I do have a word of caution: this crate is not suitable for any dog who might try to escape from a crate. Any dog that was so inclined would be able to chew their way out quickly. My rottweiler is crate trained and very good in the car.

I have a 75lb greyhound and this is big enough without being to heavy to take on the road with me and have him safe in a hotel. I just throw in a dog bed to the bottom of the crate. The stiff board that comes with it cracked the minute he stepped on it so I tossed that. That is my only complaint but a dog bed replacing it works great and is softer.
Honest reviews on Guardian Gear Collapsible Crate
I bought this to transport my two 5 month old kittens from California to Oregon. The size was great, I was able to put a disposable foil baking pan with litter in it in case they needed to go to the bathroom. The kittens were fine for about the first 10 11 hours of the drive, then they decided that they wanted out. That is when it became apparent that this crate could not contain a determined kitten, mainly because the mesh parts of the crate are made out of some sort of rubber material. Within about 30 minutes a hole had been made in the mesh and kittens were free roaming the car. I'm sure a dog could rip a hole in this rubber mesh just as easily as one of my kittens did, so if you have a destructive animal or are planning to use this to contain an animal for a long drive you probably want to find a crate with sturdier mesh.
