Petmate Pet Porter Dog Kennel 23", Dark Gray & Black, for Pets up to 15lbs, Made in USA

I first want to note that I bought mine from Warehouse Deals for a significant discount (more than 50% off) for the 15-20lb storm grey carrier. Mine was listed as “Used - Acceptable - Item has major cosmetic damages but is still usable. Item will come repackaged.” With this, you never know what you’re getting. I’ve seen broken/unusable, and I’ve seen like new... this one was like new! Score!It was repackaged but it had clearly never been put together. The screws and wing nuts were still sealed in their original container taped inside the lid. It had no major cosmetic damage, just some exterior manufacturing remnants on the bottom... I mean this is injection molded plastic, I cut a few off because I am a little OCD, but it was no biggie.I was thrilled for the price I paid. However, I would have been a little disappointed if I had paid full price.The carrier was not difficult to put together, just line it up, put the door in, give the latches a good solid whack, and screw in the screws and wing nuts (note, it came with one extra screw and wing nut which I appreciated). I suspect the latches are why mine was returned. This is key, these don’t just snap in easy, you need to really whack them... this is great because I don’t want loose, flimsy latches! If they are flush with carrier edges, they are NOT fully snapped on, see pic! This carrier is sturdy, fits together firmly and snugly.This was purchased to replace an older Petmate carrier to transport a 25 lb Maine Coon to the vet. (I know it says 15-20 lbs, but my boy prefers a snug carrier to feel secure and this is definitely large and sturdy enough to hold him without concern). It is a tad thinner than my old carrier of the same variety, but still more than adequate, no complaints.ONLY CON:The only thing I really did not like was something another reviewer mentioned: the interior of the vent holes was sharp. Many pets have anxiety in carriers, and move around or try to sniff the vent holes. My big boy could definitely cut his nose on those sharp vent edges. I took my dremel to them, lightly sanded and voila, problem solved in 5 minutes. If I had paid full price, I would have expected better quality control regarding safety for an item created specifically for pets.But, 5 stars. For what I paid, I am thrilled with my new carrier.

Good quality travel kennel. Worked perfectly for a 2.5 month old husky puppy we had to pick up from states away and bring home. Easily washable in case they have an accident in it, sturdy hard shell, and relatively roomy

I like this dog crate is the perfect size for traveling and at home use. It’s sturdy as we have a jack russel who can get out of most plastic things. The design is great and was easy for me to assemble by myself.

The media could not be loaded. The plastic is not real thick. It’s kind of wonky on top, but the bottom feels OK opens and closes nicely and was easy to put together by my husband.

Just received but seems to be a very secure carrier. Screws connect to ring nuts all around carrier. Easy to assemble. Roomy for a 12 lb cat.

Look between the top and bottom for the door and hardware- it isn’t obvious at first. Other than that- great product

It feels really cheap and they don't even bother to clear the mold lines off. Makes it hard to assemble when multiple bolt holes are full of excess plastic.After finally getting it put together by cleaning up the sloppy manufacturing, the whole carrier feels pretty cheap. It's not nearly as robust as you'd need for an animal with any kind of weight to it. Luckily this was just to transport a cat, so it worked.

I had to get a carrier for my cat for an upcoming appointment. This one is great for the price and very easy to put together.
