Frisco Plastic Dog & Cat Kennel, Almond & Black

Making a hard sided crate isn’t tough conceptually. You need a shell, and an operable door. This product fails miserably at the latter and is unusable as a result. 1) Alignment/Balance issues The door is inherently unstable and cannot stay open (or closed). The floating hinge design doesn’t work due to imprecision in the plastic hollows. The door itself is unbalanced which causes it to list to one side. 2) The latch Oh, the door latch. The spring mechanism jams repeatedly, which frequently makes pinching to close or open a 30-second process. Even when you solve for that problem, it’s a pain to actually engage the lock because the pegs don’t really align with the hollows in the plastic Making a hard sided crate isn’t tough conceptually.

It’s also screechingly loud which frustrates dogs and humans alike. For the price, I expect much better reliability and quality. … more

Cage has broken multiple times and ive fixed it each time. This last time however its unfixable. It lasted lwss than 2 years and its not as if it gets alot of use. Very disappointed in this cage

I used my kennel for the first time a week ago. It's been here so he could just get used to it. I had some surgery and was gone several hours when I returned home he met me at the door. He had totally demolished the gate door. After which he then destroyed my bedroom door. He's a medium size dog, I've had Shepherds not be able to do this. I can't even use this with another dog that's how bent up and broken the door is.

Very well made. Our 2 month old collie puppy has plenty of room to turn around and stretch out. This carrier is larger than I thought it would be. Gracie will still be able to use it when she's a full grown collie. Gracie has tried to chew her way through it, but hasn't even scratched it with those sharp puppy teeth. Just had to find a spot where it wouldn't restrict the kitchen traffic.

I just got this crate today so I will update as needed. I got this crate to help with anxious dogs and to contain their diarrhea if they have any. I read reviews of a couple different crates and even though this was more expensive it seemed like it was higher quality and I was not disappointed. It feels sturdy and has strong bolts to put it together. I’m impressed with the look and feel. Worth the money.

My dog spent 1 hr in this kennel and we had a camera on him to test his reaction to it; he shuffled around to get comfortable, and while doing so, 2 piece fell off the locking mechanism, the door opened, and now the product is useless. We weren't anticipating it falling apart immediately and were required to quickly buy and assemble a replacement - will be seeking refund. *Maybe a one-off flawed product that slipped through quality control, but we weren't pleased.

High quality product and inside extremely safe for our small dog. Our mini golden doodle loves sleeping in this kennel and we know she will be safe and sound.

I was surprised by other reviews of difficulty to assemble. We purchased the Large and my 10 year old daughter did this by herself! It is great quality and came with all pieces plus 2 extras. I only had to help with the alignment of ONE hole. I've had no negatives in over a month and a friend has one as well with no issues... she said her daughters put theirs together as well. The photo shows our 8wk old Standard Poodle puppy next to it. I'd recommend it every time.

U delivered to our neighbor. We are grateful tjat she had no dogs because our neighbor on other side has 4 dogs. 1st. Time chewy delivered to wrong address.

I always shop at Chewy’s. This time I needed a crate to transport my pet for a nine hour plane ride. I ordered the first and on arrival it seemed too small for his journey. I called Chewy for return and a re-order. They listened, suggested that instead of going through the trouble of returning the first crate, to simply donate it, and they would gladly send the re-ordered crate. I did donate to my local vet and received the perfect size for my pooch. My only sadness is that I am moving to Italy in June, 2021, and there won’t be a Chewy there. Rats!
