Petmate 290287 Compass Fashion Pets Kennel With Chrome Door, Island Blue/Black

Nice and roomy for our 10lb. dog, who is a Boston Terrier/Chihuahua mix and has a fair amount of leg on her. Easy to put together - took about 3 minutes. Door opens and closes nicely from either side- the ability to remove the door completely is a plus. Not sure that I'd recommend lugging it about with the handle if one had a 20lb pet, but that could just be me and past bad experiences with handles that were flimsy on other brands of crates. It's a bit large for fast trips in the car so we stuck with a small size crate for that- but as a 'living space' and den for our dog it is exactly right. She can take stuffed toys in and still have plenty of room- she seems to approve her new digs very much.

I really like this little kennel! I purchased it for my Yorkie simply because she is so afraid of riding in the car. I'm not able to let her sit in the seat without some type of restraint because she is trying to climb up my chest while driving (no matter what we do, she just hates car rides!). I think this will be perfect for the short trips to the vet, groomer or wherever we need to go. It was very easy to put together and seems very sturdy. I like that you can open the door from either side as well. There is plenty of room inside for her to lay or stand, as well as turn around if she needs to. The color is cute too, and accurate to the picture in my opinion. Definitely would recommend this to anyone needing a kennel!

Greetings,My cat required knee surgery and three long drives to a specialist vet hospital. My old carrier was getting to be a tight fit with the plastic door hinges questionable.This new carrier is larger for Lucky to stretch out and even stand in. This greatly made the treks less traumatic. The assembly was an easy slide-on fit. Special screws and lock nuts were a welcome addition to permanently hold it all together with absolute security. I love the large steel door that opens from the right or left. The lock is very secure. My old --all plastic-- carrier scared me every time I used it. Got tired of using garbage ties as extra security too.Some purchasers complain of the difficult assembly and declining product quality. I found NO such critiques. And, while Lucky hates leaving home, he didn't complain and cry as with the old carrier.The price for the product, design and quality was very reasonable. And, I would recommend this carrier to ANY cat owner.Steve Franks

This is an attractive kennel that looks just like the picture shown. It is nice and sturdy and the size is just what I expected it to be. The handle makes it easy to carry and is attached well, so there is no worry about dropping your pet. The only issue I had with this thing is that it was rather difficult to put together because it is hard to line the holes up top and bottom where the screws go. Otherwise, it is perfect and easy to clean. For the price, I think it was well worth the money. My dog has plenty of room in it, being in the ten pound range.

I have had a Petmate carrier before that I bought at Fred Meyer and it works very well! I needed another one for my second rabbit and Amazon had this one (a different style) for almost $10 cheaper than in the store and was eligible for Prime shipping. It was a little confusing to put together at first and to my surprise mine actually came without the bolts that were essential to keep the top and bottom secure together. I did contact customer service about this issue and they did give me a partial refund so I was able to get the bolts to this. Once I was able to get it together it still held pretty well without the bolts but I'm not sure I would carry my rabbit around in it without something holding the top and bottom together like zipties. I like how the door opens from either side and it's not very difficult to get my rabbit in and out. I have a small (less than 4lb) lionhead rabbit so there is plenty of room for her to be comfortable and turn around in. I think when I buy another carrier I will go for the style that I had before- the top and bottom snap together with locks on the front, sides, and back instead of this sliding-lock mechanism with bolts as it's a little harder to take the top completely off as quickly.

I'm giving this 5 stars because it is exactly what it says it is, and has lots of perks. But before I begin, know that I do think it is TOO SMALL for daily use for my 6lb chihuahua.*easy to put together and sturdy*cute bright colors*good double handles for closing the door so it can be opened either way*strong overhead handle for carryingBut, I was hoping for a crate to put my chihuahua in when I leave for work. It's just too small for that, she can barely turn around in it, and sitting up her head touches the ceiling of the crate. I will be keeping it for traveling or donating it to a local shelter. It's a great crate, but I shouldn't have trusted the sizing for comfort.***At 6lbs, my chihuahua needs the 10-20lb sized crate to be comfortable.*** The 1-10 lbs is just too cramped for my pup. She hates being in there but loves the big crate we have for my lab mix.

Ordered the Pink/black 10 pound kennel.Pros:Bright colors, exactly as picturedEasy to follow instructionsFast shipping, no damageGreat price compared to pet store kennelsEasy to use latchAppears sturdier once assembledTop and bottom ventilation holesCons:Smaller then expected.Kennel seems a little flimsy compared to the other kennel I already have (same brand).One of the bolts didn't screw all the way in because the holes didn't line upBolt covers don't completely cover the bolts (not pictured in product image)Door was difficult to get on as it was slightly larger then the kennel, it fits but it is certainly snugDue to the snugness of the door, the plastic sides are being pushed slightly apartBack latch appears weak and flimsyIt is intended for my cat, and will be used. However, if I need to purchase another kennel in the future I will probably look elsewhere. If you do buy this product, unless its for an animal other then a cat or dog, go with the larger one.

Perfecta para transportar a mi mascota durante viajes, fácil de armar y súper practica con doble abertura de puerta.

No complaints. It was my first time buying an item from Amazon Warehouse Deals and I was not disappointed. The carrier is exactly what I expected it to be - easy to assemble and sturdy. Half the price of what my first one cost. Overall a great product!

The kennel is on the smaller side. My kitten is about 5 months old and it looks like it will only just fit her.The coloured portion of the kennel was also slightly dirty/discoloured. The plastic feels cheap.The kennel comes disassembled (which was fine and as expected), but I was not sent the bolts and wingnuts referred to in the assembly instructions that are needed to secure the two halves of the kennel together. From reading a few other reviews it seems that the missing bolts are a common occurrence.It will work for now but overall very disappointing.

El envío llego muy antes (perfecto) , los colores me gustaron muchísimo, pero el material es un poco frágil principalme en la manilla, pero como mi mascota no pesa muncho esta perfecto lo compraría otra vez.

Was easy to put together. Good size. The pink is a nice colour! The doors are easy open and close
