Petmate Two Door Top Load Dog & Cat Kennel

I bought this because my large Savannah cat kept escaping from his zipper closure soft carrier. This one is big enough for him to stand up and turn around and the closures are secure enough that he can’t open it. He does better with the vet when he can stay in his carrier so I need one that opens from the top and this one fits the bill. It was easy to put together and he likes it enough that if we leave it open on the floor it’s one of the places he chooses to nap.

A new kitten just adopted us...and we have a bonded pair of 13 year old cats. We regularly buy Petmate products because they're a great value and are made to last. If you're considering this product, I highly recommend getting the medium size (24") for the extra roominess. The top door is already installed...bless them...and they provided extra nuts and bolts to attach the bottom and top (super helpful since some don't screw in fully). I understand why a couple people think the front door doesn't fit on the top half. The top metal spokes do NOT go in the holes...they go into the raised plastic closed arches. I know I'll have this carrier/kennel for the rest of our kitten's life...and then some A new kitten just adopted us...and we have a bonded pair of 13 year old cats.

The access from the top makes it so much more convenient to not only put your cat in or take it out of the carrier but to pet or put food or water inside. I bought this and the one made by Frisco because I wanted to know how they compared and they are identical in every respect.

The kennel is great but arrived in a little less than desirable condition due to the journey/shipping. Chewy went above and beyond to right the situation, and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Nice product, even nicer people.

box is awesome so far. only issue is that the door thing on the top doesn't stay open. sometimes in the car i open it so the cat can poke her head out, but then it often slams down on her and scares her. but that's a pretty minor issue. i have to say that I am a bit paranoid that it will break based on other reviews. it seems like the plastic holding the top part together (so the handle... the part that carries the most weight) could break off easily, causing you to drop/lose the cat... because of that I often end up carrying it from the bottom.

I have purchased this item 3 separate times, because I like other Petmate items that I own. However, all three of these carriers that I bought had the SAME ISSUE. With each one, the main door is unable to even fit into the hole or "doorway" where it is intended to go. You can put the top on the bottom just fine, but once you go to put the door in, it just won't work. There is no way. Doesn't fit. Won't go. Can't force it. The math was wrong. Someone messed up. I don't typically write reviews but since I have this item THREE DIFFERENT CHANCES and it was the same issue every time, I had to warn others not to even bother with it. I don't know how this item hasn't been discontinued, and why it is I have purchased this item 3 separate times, because I like other Petmate items that I own.

Well, definitely more than 5 stars. I’ve used these carriers for years, both for transporting my cats to the vet and for transporting foster fur babies to their forever homes, some of which required long car rides. What I like most is the top door. Not only does it provide a skylight so they can see what’s going on outside the carrier, but it allows the vet to reach in and retrieve the sometimes fearful patient from above. Regarding the door that was mentioned in another review, I’ve attached a picture of the proper placement of the door post. Hope that helps.

These crates were perfect and worked so well. I bought these for when my boys got neutered and they were a blessing. Easy in and out. I bought the matching crate mats for inside as well as the matching blankets. Thank you chewy! We love everything about Chewy from the workers to All the products and treats. Fantastic customer service!!

I adopted a semi-ferral cat. She needed to be tested for kitty leukaemia and taken to the vet. So I bought the medium size carrier. I put it together without the door. I threw some treats in it, and she now uses it as her kitty bungalow. Easy to put together and made in USA! Plus they give a few extra bolts and nuts for later. Chewy delivery was super fast! The color description is wrong, it is grey top and black bottom!

Borrowed this carrier from the rescue where I got my cat. It was so nice having the top access door for an 11 lb longhaired cat. Decided that was the carrier I needed to have. Bought the exact same one. Love it!
