Petmate Pet Porter Dog Kennel 24", Dark Gray & Black, for Pets 15-20lbs

This is a very well-built kennel. My partner had it assembled in two shakes of a kitten’s tail. It comes with three extra screws and screw caps, which is generous and will come in handy. It was easy to transport from one room to another in the house. It’s got the type of door that a water bowl (not included) can be attached to with 2 screws and wing nuts. A shallow bowl would be best for a small animal. The door opens easily. I love the grey and black color. I bought mine for a small 8-9 week old kitten with an injured growth plate. He needs to remain confined. This kennel is the perfect size for him. The best thing is that litter boxes for small animals fit right inside in the back horizontally and don’t take up much room. They can even be slid in and out for easy cleaning without having to tip them, angle them or remove the door! I’ve had my kitten inside his kennel for 3 hours straight now and he hasn’t made a peep. He played, slept, ate, used his litter box and is sleeping again. I think he actually likes it. His kennel is on my bed where he can see me. I hope you learn more about this quality kennel from my photos and video.

The first time she went to the vet, she cried for the first 2 mins and then she was looking all over the place interested in where she was going. It's held up very well and stayed clean. I've had it for quite awhile now. I just have to wipe it down every so often. It was so easy to put together. Took me only a couple mins and it was definitely worth the money. The color is wonderful too. She fits perfect in it. Just enough room for her. She's gotten a little bigger since she was in it in August but she goes in it every so often to chill. They quality is really nice too.

This crate is nicely made and good quality. Big enough for my Chihuahua. It’s easy to put your pet inside and the door stays put. The cost is reasonable. I only put my baby in the crate when I’m away because she gets into things when I leave.

My old Pet Carriers/Kennels had become too small for my cats... so I purchased this new LARGER PetMate 26" Kennel (the blue one, in the attached photos). Overall, I like this new 26" PetMate Kennel .. FOUR STARS. I coaxed my cats into it using catnip (you can see some still scattered inside, in the photos); both of my cats entered this larger Crate/Kennel (separately, they took turns) - even my smaller/older, skiddish cat seemed comfortable while inside it. I think this 26" Kennel is well made, roomy, and sturdy. Putting it together was very easy. (I left the Kennel door off for now - attached it, then removed it - to allow my cats to become accustomed to entering the large Crate .. I'll put the door back on the front, later on.) The only NEGATIVE I see, is that this new, larger, PetMate 26" Kennel was made without the convenient amenities my smaller Kennels/Crates had - THERE IS NO *SEATBELT SLOT* for security/stability while transporting my kitties to the Vet .. and also, no Storage Space (for a water dish, wipes, whatever) like my old/smaller Crates/Kennels had. *The omitted Seatbelt Slot is kind-of a big deal for me .. If the Kennel moves around while I'm transporting my cats, they will become frightened before arrival at our destination. I removed a star, because of this. EDIT TO ADD: Now that my cats have gone into this new Carrier/Kennel and stood inside to eat their meals, I've noticed that when they step out of it, the bottom/floor of the Kennel *pops* up. (When they first enter, the floor "bows" down, because the edges along the bottom are extended, but the entire midsection is not.)

Good quality. I used them to move my cats and they had plenty of room to be comfortable in the car! Great value!

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.

Great item cat carrier well designed and functional and professionally built and made does not feel cheap my cat feels safe in it when going to the vet for checkup I highly recommend this to everyone thank you

Really nice cat carrier..solid..very pretty colours..nice size

I am very pleased with this purchase, solid and safe for cats , recommended

Muy buen producto. Es resistente y práctico.Mi perrita duerme muy cómoda y tranquila toda la noche.

El único detalle fueron los tornillos y tuercas que no apretaron lo suficiente, como si el hueco donde va el tornillo estuviera más ancho, y al no ser de la medida no queda totalmente fijo. Supongo que tendré que conseguir otros tornillos y tuercas por mi cuenta para que quede más asegurada. De ahí en fuera estoy muy satisfecha con mi compra, era lo que buscaba en cuanto a color, tamaño y precio. Y se ve bastante resistente.

Excelente producto
