Petmate Two Door Top Load Dog & Cat Kennel

Got this to take my cat on a road trip and was debating on getting the smaller size but glad I sized up! My 8 month old kitty has enough room to move around and seems to like sleeping in here. It was easy to assemble and seems secure. Can’t attest to its durability as I haven’t gotten a lot of use out of it yet but it seems just fine for now. Only taking off a star because it’s really awkward to hold with the top handle.

Bought this specifically for my cat who needed surgery on her leg. The ability to open the top and lay her in it for trips to/ from the vet was the only reason I bought it. It worked great......until the lever on that opens the top snapped off and now makes the top door unusable. SUPER disappointing to say the least. Have only had it a month and used it 5 times. Would not recommend at all.

Any idiot can assemble this kennel and I'm living proof. Seriously, it just takes a couple of looks at the picture to figure out the door which is the only part that can confuse. There are two holes in the top above the door for reasons I don't know. Ignore these when installing the door, just use the holes in the cover itself which part of the formed plastic. Just turn the top over and you'll see them. Plenty of bolts and bolt tighteners. This product also arrived in just two days. Very impressed.

Sammy traveled in this kennel for three days from Chicago to central Florida. He is a very long, 15 pound cat. He had room to stretch out and to change positions. It was a long trip and he seemed to be comfortable and didn't complain. Kennel felt sturdy and both doors fit securely. Glad I bought it.

We have a small cat carrier so I figured I’d upgrade to a larger one. Pros: The top loading function is a life saver for putting them in and it allows me to comfort my kitties while we are in the car much easier. The size I got seems a bit longer than I expected but that doesn’t pose too much of a problem - more room for them! Cons: Some of the holes weren’t cut completely so I can’t put all the screws in. The instructions could be clearer and it would be helpful to know how many screws I’m supposed to use just so I know I put it together correctly! There are some left over and I’m not sure if these are extra or not.

Got one small crate and one a little larger for my cats. They are easy to put together, have both a front and top door, and clean easily. I also use these for small dogs and puppies. They do come in different sizes. I would like an option of colors to choose from.

I needed a kennel for my cat in case of a wildfire evacuation. It is almost impossible to force my cat through the front door of a kennel--especially in a panic situation. I love that this kennel opens from the top as well as the front and it's easy to load my protesting cat inside without hurting him.

Got 2 of these (to replace an old, borrowed crate) ... as the kittens have grown up and each really need their own spaces. Easy enough to put together ... and it's great for 2 points of entry. 1 cat will literally walk right in ... but the other needs some coaxing to be placed down into the crate. Regardless, it was the best upgrade we could have imagined!

Such a convenience to be able to place a squirming, reluctant cat into the carrier though the top entry [for going to the vet and for other travel needs]. This carrier meets the needs of both humans and cats.

Snatched this on sale for less than $20 and it's such a steal! One of the main reasons I bought this kennel was because of the double opening feature. It was so easy to put together - I was able to screw on the top and bottom of the carrier with my bare hands - and feels sturdy when closed. I also don't feel like my rabbit would be able to get out of this on her own. Paired with a Frisco Quilted Dog Crate Mat (I got the 18 inch for my small size kennel) and a little cloth/blanket for extra comfort. I thought my rabbit would hate this carrier after I brought her on several car rides, but she's literally obsessed with it! I leave it open and she loves to crawl in on her own through the front Snatched this on sale for less than $20 and it's such a steal!
