Care Instructions
To give your pet the most comfortable home away from home, clean the kennel routinely with a mild, non-toxic cleaner and water.
How to select the best size kennel:
- While your dog is standing, measure your dog from the tip of their nose to base of their tail.
- While your dog is sitting or standing, measure your dog from the top of their head to the floor.
- Add 4 inches to determine maximum measurements. Remember, your dog should be able to stand up and turn around while in their kennel.

Is this kennel escape proof?
This kennel is not escape proof. Please kennel train your dog. For training tips, please see the instruction manual. Does my dog have to be kennel-trained to use this kennel? To make sure your dog adapts well to their new kennel, we recommend looking at the “Kennel Travel and Training Tips” section on the instruction manual and monitoring your pet closely during the first few days.
What is the best way to kennel train?
Begin by slowly introducing dog to crate encouraging the dog with positive reinforcement. Allow dog to acclimate to the crate slowly. Always consult vet or trainer for specific training tips!
Can this be used for small animals?
This kennel is not recommended or tested for use with small animals.
Is this kennel airline approved?
This carrier is approved for airline travel, but it is important to always check with your airline to make sure you understand their guidelines for flying with pets.
Can this kennel be used in the car?
Yes, but it is recommended to go on a test run first. Before using the kennel to take your pet someplace she doesn’t want to go, like the vet, do a practice run and go somewhere fun. Take her on an adventure to the dog park, dog beach, a friend’s house, or even just around the neighborhood and back so that being in the kennel isn’t a cause for her to be scared or upset.
Are kennels stackable?
Never stack kennels with animals inside.

They like it
By Phelton on Jan 3, 2021
Very easy to put together, and the spring handles are very smooth which is nice after the last one I had. I left it out in the living room after putting this together, and both cats take turns sleeping in it. I like the top door too, will make it easier for vet visits. When putting this in my cart it recommend a bed that fit perfectly inside. Glad I got it too!

The Ideal Catmobile
By Beans on Jan 16, 2021
It took me over a year to pick out a carrier for my cat mainly because I wanted her to be comfortable and have enough room to sit and relax even if her vet commutes are short and she can curl up because that's what cats do. Anyway, this carrier is spacious, but not too big (for my 12 lb. 12-inch angora) the pink one is bold, assembly was easy, and my cat has willfully walked into it and napped on the fleece I placed down for her to make it a little cozier. So far, it's been A+!

Great carrier!
By Momma on Jan 13, 2021
The carrier comes in three pieces. You do not need any tools to put it together. Put the door in place, align the top onto the bottom, place the screws into the holes and tighten. It is very sturdy and has the convenience of top or front door opening. The rods lock the doors into the frame for easy closure. I have used it separately for a large adult cat and a six month old kitten without any space issues. This solid carrier protects my pets during transport. I find the flexible carriers do not do this.

Good enough!
By Lissa on Dec 29, 2020
My cat is large and on the heavier side, so I was looking for a carrier that could fit him comfortably. The Frisco Two Door Top Load Plastic Dog & Cat Kennel (say that five times fast!) fits the bill. He likes to go inside of it, and carrier training was a breeze. The larger model is a bit of a pain to put together, but it seems sturdy once assembled. The reason I took off two stars is the handle; it is not sufficient enough for carrying such a large case comfortably. I end up having to wrap my arms around the bottom to hold the carrier, and that is extremely unsafe feeling to me. I wish it came with additional supports -- a larger handle, or a handle and a shoulder strap -- anything, really, My cat is large and on the heavier side, so I was looking for a carrier that could fit him comfortably.

Great economical carrier
By MomofSophieandPiper on Jan 16, 2021
We originally purchased this carrier in the magenta, but since the girls have gotten bigger, we needed a second one for road trips. From the picture I was hoping it’d be a little more turquoise, but decided to keep it anyway. Girls like blue too! I’ve had my first one for 2 years with no issue at all. I actually was at a pet store to buy some food, and when I looked at their cat carrier prices, I knew I just needed to order it from Chewy.

Great Carrier
By Sami on Dec 21, 2020
This overall is a great carrier. We rescue and foster kittens as well as cats and this carrier is great!! Easy to put together and clean. The handle could use a little bit of improvement but, if the carrier is supported right when transporting bigger pets this shouldn’t be a problem. For transporting smaller pets you shouldn’t have any issues. Great size and great price, would definitely recommend to anyone and would buy again!! Our 15 lb cat can fit comfortably in this carrier. Thanks Chewy!!

Good purchase
By Happycatgrandma on Jan 16, 2021
What a great buy ! It arrived in big component pieces, meaning top, bottom and doors. Screws that wing nut together so no screwdrivers needed. I didn't have to read the directions. Everything aligned perfectly . Sturdy once built and a good size. The price was extremely reasonable too. Im glad I bought it.

Outstanding
By FlaLady on Jan 9, 2021
We bought this to transport our 9-pound Flemish Giant rabbit. He loves it. It’s sturdy, the door locks are easy to open and close securely, and having two doors is extremely convenient as well as giving him a “sun roof” so he feels less confined. We replaced the plastic nuts with airline-approved metal nuts, and the carrier is now like a tank.

Easy assembly, beautiful color
By Maria on Dec 11, 2020
A few reviews mentioned the holes weren't completely punched. They were perfectly fine in our case, clean square cuts. We received extra fasteners, as well. My kitten went in even before assembled and loves, after assembly, his "convertible top". We purchased the 24" and a 22" bed which fits perfectly. The handle is a bit small and hooks onto the the top grate, which could use reinforcement. I think this part of the design could be improved upon. I'll probably design a handle that attaches to the side cutouts with paracord for a sturdier setup as he grows (some flex in the top/sides when lifted).

Big Carrier
By Cici on Jan 4, 2021
We bought this carrier because it is totally waterproof. It can be completely submerged for cleaning. We use Peepee pads inside when we are transporting one of our kitties. She gets nervous when she is transported and pees, so this carrier is perfect! And it was much larger than anticipated, which is fine. It was very easy to put together!
