Petmate Two Door Top Load Dog & Cat Kennel

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.

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.

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!

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!

From a friend, I borrowed their "Petmate 2 Door Deluxe Kennel" to bring home my newly adopted cat. This model is no longer available and has been replaced by "Petmate 2 Door Top Load Kennel". I compared the size: Length, Width & Height of the one I borrowed with this newer model. They were exactly the same. It arrived quickly, it was easy to assemble, a lovely tan & dark brown color. When my cat step into it; it seemed smaller. In checking the "tag" attached to this kennel it read "Petmate 2 Door Kennel" (differ product name) with the dimensions 24"L, 16.7"W, 14.5H. However, the kennel measures 22"L, 13" W, almost 14"H. Not happy with Petmate!

This was listed as one of the best pet carriers. I was moving and had to do a six hour car ride. My cat is an indoor cat and wasn’t used to that kind of travel. My veterinarian recommended this type carrier. I have a big cat 18 pounds and it fit in this crate and was comfortable the whole trip that in itself was worth getting this carrier.

kennel is fine a little bit dimpled on out side edge nothing major still works fine, Not the color I thought I ordered need asap and the color is still nice.Supper fast delivery still waiting on the rest of my order slight delay Chewy has keep me informed,pleased with customer service.

This carrier is roomier than other carriers of this size that I own and my cat that has anxiety in a carrier and is a rather large cat fits in here perfectly and I have no fear of this one coming apart with her inside it. My only disappointment was my own fault as I thought I was ordering the blue one but I wasn’t paying attention and selected the brown one. But this carrier is amazing I was just planning to use this carrier as my “sick cat/kitten carrier” and all my other carriers are a similar brown so I was trying to in a way color code it so if you are trying anything similar make sure the color is correct before you check out.
