Petmate Two Door Top Load Dog & Cat Kennel

I went out on a limb and ordered 2 of the blue medium sized ones and I was not disappointed! I have 3 cats currently (1 which is a huge 25 lb tom, 1 being an average sized tom, and 1 being a small female). It's super simple to put together. I didn't even need to read instructions! The double loading doors will make vet trips way simpler. I adore the shade of blue. These are all around some of the best purchases I've made. I could easily fit 3 large cats comfortably in each of these medium sized carriers.

Very nice carriers! I bought 2, one for each of my cats, and they were both easy to assemble and feel sturdy and secure. I like the top door for removing the cats from the kennels, and it’s also very nice for cleaning up any possible mess inside. Extra screws and wing nuts were included, so I thought that was very nice. Only complaint is that there is still some flashing left on some of the plastic wing nuts that can be a bit sharp on the hands while assembling. Overall, very impressed with the product!

So, I recently had to upgrade my carrier for my cat, Vader who has gotten bigger. I stumbled upon Chewy and found this carrier that is not a bad price when I got it in the box--it was super easy to put together and I love how it has two ways to get your pet from the carrier, whether it's going to the vet's or on a road trip. Highly recommend!!

very pleased with this carrier. I have two large cats (16 lbs each) and they both love it! It is spacious so when one is in it, I don't worry that he'll be cramped and stressed. The two door feature is very useful when making trips to the vets! I can easily reach in a pick him up if he won't come out on his own! I leave it out and set up and they both have fun playing in it (this gets them used to it for going out).

Bought the medium to make it easier to load feral cats. Keep on the porch with the front gate open. Keep top closed. Ferals are easier to shove in than to pick up and drop through the top. Have a fluffy towel and stuffed toy inside -- both sprayed with Catnip. They take turns laying inside. This is in addition to another carrier and four heated cat houses. Spoiled rotten!

I've only had petmate kennels for my cats because they're the only brand I've ever trusted for even the craziest cats. Very few of my cats are actually good travelers, so everyone needs a carrier. I love that this comes in 2 different sizes and each size has 2 colors to choose from. Some of my cats are quite big and don't fit in the small size comfortably, so they get the medium blue ones. None of them have ever been able to break out and these ones have the potential to last for years. I'm so glad I found these carriers a few years ago.

I bought this for my kitty. He's on the larger size, weighing about 14 pounds. I wanted a carrier that he would have a bit more room in, and bought this one in medium. The door on top is a good idea if you have a terrible time getting your cat into the carrier, BUT because of the size of this thing and the extra materials used for the top door, IT IS SO HEAVY! I felt like I was lugging bricks into the vet office. I'm a relatively fit female in my 30s, so if you don't think of yourself as strong, and you're going to need to carry this thing with a pet inside you may want to get something lighter.

as soon as i went to use it about a month after i received it , i opened the top door and it came all the way off but i thought no biggie i will just pop it back into place but i could not get the middle plastic snap to grasp the metal. Although i could get the first and third middle snap to snap the metal in ; it still comes off after i hold my big cat in it and when i open it , it still does not stay in place ; in other words the top door comes off . I can not find online an issue other people have had like me so i am thinking that mine is just irregular or damaged. Other than this , this cage is great. Great Space for our Furry but have no use for it if the top does not stay in place with as soon as i went to use it about a month after i received it , i opened the top door and it came all the way off but i thought no biggie i will just pop it back into place but i could not get the middle plastic snap to grasp the metal.

Any one else have this issue? … more

I have four cats and only had two kennels and would need to take the cats into the vet in twos. So I wanted another kennel that could hold one but with enough room for a second should it be necessary. This one was able to hold three. The top load would make it easy to get the cats in.

I really love the look and color of this carrier. Easy to use also. But when I got it it had two spots on the bottom that looked like the area was melted and it was prickly. Also a lot of scratches on the sides of the bottom half. But I needed to use it the very next day and it still functions so I kept it. I would recommend it but I would have exchanged it if I had the time.
