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.

Happy Customer
By Panda on Nov 5, 2020
I ordered the 24 " kennel for my cat . It arrived superfast, about 35 hrs. after ordering. It came in an xL box. The two sides of carrier was stacked inside itself, and strapped together. There seemed to be no instruction manual, or screws at first, but once I unstrapped, and sepperated the two sides, I found the manual and screws inside. The manual was easy to understand. Putting it together was easy. All the screws were there with extra, all the holes were drilled. Once I put it together, both doors worked as they should. I got the one according to my cats measurements , and weight, so I am sure it will hold her and last for years to come.

My cat seems to love this and he hasn't gone anywhere yet
By Harry on Nov 22, 2020
I have been very hesitant to take my cat to the vet for his annual wellness visits. I actually engaged a vet who comes to the house. Now that the cat is older and in need of more care, I needed to purchase a carrying case so that I could take him for some tests. He hasn't actually gone anywhere yet, but seems to like the coziness of this Kennel. I have often found him sleeping in it. I hope he's as cooperative when it's time to really use it for its intended purpose.

Great Carrier with Easy Access!
By CrazyCatLady on Nov 24, 2020
This is a great carrier! My old carrier was over 20 years old so it was time for an upgrade. The top-loading feature is an absolute plus! It’s so much easier to get my cat in and out of the carrier. He weighs 12 lbs and has plenty of room inside (I ordered the 24” size) and likes being able to see out the front, sides & top. I would highly recommend this carrier!

Advantages of A Top Loading Kennel
By PetMom on Oct 18, 2020
The Frisco two door top load kennel has many advantages when used as a cat carrier. It's been my experience that cats don't want to go into a carrier and once in, want to get out. When I take my cats for their vet appointments, I load them through the front door with the back of the crate set at a downward angle and close the door. I transport them in the crate with a light blanket or towel covering it to keep them calmer. At their vet appointment, I can lift them out through the top door or in the case of an uncooperative cat, the vet staff can do some of the exam from the open top. The top door can be opened a bit while monitoring a cat that is 'sleeping off' anesthesia. I have worked with The Frisco two door top load kennel has many advantages when used as a cat carrier.

My choice for a carrier is always one with a top door. The Frisco kennel is well made with secure latches and connectors holding the upper and lower halves together. … more

carrier but maybe not to buy?
By carrier on Nov 26, 2020
The plus - it is definitely large enough for my purposes and the top door opens well. The minus, and it's a big one, is that the front door doesn't work because the top holes don't align properly. If it didn't have a top door it would have been completely useless to me on a multi-state trip with our newly adopted kittens. No, I don't recommend it.

Very sturdy for the price!
By Sasha on Nov 18, 2020
You can't go wrong buying this kennel (carrier). We purchased this for our senior cat for when we travel. The plastic is a hard plastic which makes it much sturdier than most carriers. Plus, the locks are the most durable type that we've found, too. Over the years we've tried many different carriers and this is by far the one that makes us feel she is secure in it.

Cute small carrier
By Vera on Oct 8, 2020
It is sturdy hard plastic. Comes in two parts (top and bottom) with the front door unattached. Very easy to assemble. The door can be added so it swings open to the left or the right. The top and bottom attach with a nut and bolt (included) the "nut" is plastic and easy to screw on. I was able to do so with my hands. Holds together well. You might be able to unscrew it to break it down for flatter storage but my cats like to sleep in their carriers occasionally so I just leave it intact. Both the door and the top access shut securely. You have to squeeze the locking mechanism together to open or close it. Was able to pick it up and carry it by the handle with the cat inside.

Just make sure top is fully closed before picking it up. Can easily fit a small/normal sized cat with a towel to snuggle up in. Might be a bit tight for a larger breed cat. But the one I have has climbed inside and was able to lay down. Might not recommend for a long distance travel with out a break for the cat to stretch. But perfect for a trip to the vet. Not sure if it is airline approved. Cats enjoy it. … more

Top load Two door cat kennel
By Rexer on Nov 16, 2020
We had purchased 3 different cat carriers in an attempt to get our cat in for easy transport. We had almost given up. She fought so hard not to be put in the cat carrier. I saw the top loading carrier and hopefully purchased it. It worked! She goes in much easier. What a relief.

I really liked how easy the doors open and shut. some carriers are really hard to open and close but not this one!! It is pretty easy to assemble too. I would recommend this carrier!!

Kitty carrier
By Crittermom on Nov 15, 2020
I bought this for my Mom and her new cat. She loves how easy it is to open the top and load her feline pal. I assembled it for her which was super easy. Fun color and seems very durable. We ordered a fleece mat to use with the carrier and kitty loves the mat.
