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.

Nice Cat Carrier!
I had my old cat carrier for 30 years and searched high and low for a new one that is sturdy and well made. This carrier fits the bill. I love the top load feature. I bought the suggested bed liner for it too and it fits perfectly. I deducted one star from my review because the two holes in the front weren't drilled through wide enough and I had to modify them myself with scissors to get the bolts to go in.
Great Travel Crate
Well made travel crate. Would recommend the XS for cats up to 14 pounds. We purchased the SMALL crates based on the weight recommendation in the description and they’re very spacious for kitties. If I could do it over again I would have purchased the XS for our cats. Overall I am very happy with the quality of the product and would highly recommend!
Love this carrier
This is by far my favorite carrier that I own. It's very large and great for big cats and litters of kittens. The plastic is very sturdy and I've never had issue with either the front or top doors. The top opening is really great for cats who try and fight you when being placed in a carrier.
Terrific Cat Kennel
Our Frisco Two Door Top Load Cat Kennel arrived a couple weeks ago. It was very easy to put together. My two kitties took their first trip in it this morning to the vet. They are still small enough--at 4 and 5 lbs, to fit together into this one well-constructed, sturdy carrier. It's exactly what I wanted!
Nice hard shell carrier
I love that it has 2 doors. One on the side and one on the top. Very sturdy construction. No tool assembly and sets up in minutes. Plus no mesh for my kitty to claw and chew his way out!
Feline Carry Case
Perfect for felines .... since the case opens on the top it allows easy access to an adult cat or kittens. Safe, secure, easy to clean and reasonably priced.
Disappointed
Disappointed in this purchase although I have no one to blame but myself. I already have a hard crate but it’s huge for my cats so I wanted something smaller. Again, my fault for not paying attention to the dimensions, but I looked at the weight requirements which said the smaller size was good for up to 10 lbs. My cat is 11.44 lbs and the other one is about 12.2. So I decided to listen to that and got the larger one. This thing is huge and can probably fit a third cat in there in addition to my two. It is also the same size as the crate I didn’t want or like - and the reason I didn’t like it was because if it’s size and how awkward and hard it is to carry around for just a cat. And here we are, with a brand new and just as big new crate. My advice - don’t pay attention to the weight requirement. I have a 40 lb dog who can fit in the crate I got - the weight requirements are clearly wrong. Don’t get stuck with another giant crate you can’t use
Easy assembly. Love the top loader
I’ve ordered several of these for cats that I was transporting to rescues or sanctuaries, unfortunately they stay in the carrier so I end up having to buy another so I have some for my own cats!
Good Cat Transport
I ordered this, because my cat was starting to bite at his soft carrier. I also needed something more sturdy in case we ever have to evacuate (we live in Florida). I am very happy with this, as it seems sturdy & keeps my cat safe. It also arrived VERY quickly. I am happy that now we are prepared to take kitty around safely.
Nice kennel
Very happy with this purchase first time having a kennel and with so many choices glad I went with this the top opens to comfort the new puppy and gives good ventilation
