MidWest Spree Plastic Dog & Cat Kennel

My puppy really loves the den-like feel of this kennel but it's such a pain to get him in and out. One of the pegs will not stay in the latch even when it is locked. It comes out every time and is significantly looser than the other three pegs when it is all locked. I wouldn't really recommend and I wish chewy had more options for kennels like this.

We got pet carrier, I opened it and was shocked to find it didn’t have a latch for the door. Once I figured out that I was going to have to maneuver the cat into the carrier and close it quickly, and lock it without the cat escaping I was somewhat frustrated. Well, today is D-Day, my boy is off to the vet to be neutered. I managed to get him in the carrier, get the door shut and set by the door ready to go. It took him all of 2 minutes to pry the door off. I managed to catch him fight him back into the carrier and put the door back on. This time it took 30 seconds to figure out the door. I had to put him BACK in the carrier, and put the carrier in large chewy box to transport him to the vet. We got pet carrier, I opened it and was shocked to find it didn’t have a latch for the door.

Now I can only hope the transport home from the vet goes okay. I am extremely disappointed in this carrier, I’ve never gotten anything from Chewy that didn’t exceed my expectations until today. Do not get this carrier unless you want to have to chase your cat around. … more

The way the front gate latches is ridiculous. The four little clips have to all be clipped in at the same time. It does not open like a door and the little latches that turn to lock it into place fall out of the holes. Also, my dog is only 8 pounds but I feel like when I lift her in it that the plastic bolts that hold it together could break apart.

Terrible!! The door is awkward to open/close. There's no 'handles' only adjusting the same hardware on the door as the rest of it's construction to serve to open/close the door. I will never use it!!

This Carrier may have lasted about a month until my car broke out. This carrier is very cheap and the pieces that go with it are cheap as well. I took my cat to surgery today and they only excepted cats in a hard carrier and that’s the only one I had gotten for him and they told me I need a new one because it’s cheap. So basically I’m Just wasting my money for no reason.

This is a good carrier, easy to put together and good, solid quality, but we should have bought the larger size. We’ve 2 medium sized cats and I think it would be easier to get them into the bigger carrier. This is kind of tiny.

This is a no frills crate that works perfectly! Just what we needed for the puppy- he won’t be in it for long- so didn’t want to spend too much money. This fit the bill perfectly

These kennels works great for both my, 8 month old cat ( 9 pounds ) (blue/grey) and I also have a second kennel (light green/grey) for my 2 & 1/2 yr old cat ( 14 pounds ) they both were easy to assemble, and my cats love riding in them.

I have 25 cats, so we make a lot of vet visits. I had to retire 3 soft-sided carriers after my cats ripped through them, and they always seemed to collapse while my cats were inside. So I got one of these to see what we thought. I thought it might be too flimsy given it only has a few connectors to join the top and bottom at the front, but once I had a cat inside, it still felt sturdy. It says to only put up to 12 lbs inside, but I actually traded cages at the vet so my 15 lb boy could ride in this one because it was way more spacious and he needed the head room (sorry Samson). It looks great, and I like that I can unlock the door without having to touch the front of it for when I have feral I have 25 cats, so we make a lot of vet visits.

The front-only access points make it easy to asseble/disassemble in case kitty refuses to leave, or again, feral and you'd rather not touch. My second one comes in today! … more

I was worried that I may have ordered too small. I wanted 1 to carry my 2 cats individually as well as both of had to be. Having a 2 yr old not extremely active neutered male cat. Then a 6 month old high active un neutered male kitten they both walk in and out without an issue. Arrived fast, assembly was easy. Tho I thought there would have been two "clips/locks" for the back end for re enforcing. I love the snap in strap clips. The vent on the top. Just under the handle, can open or close tho seems flimsy. I'm not even sure if that's supposed to be a "door". Overall I do like it. I would recommend this to my friends.
