Petmate Two Door Top Load Pet Kennel

This carrier works well. I needed to take my 12.5 lbs puppy to the vet by subway, and she had plenty of room to move inside. The top opening is awesome. I could pet and comfort her. But for someone without a car, like myself, it is kind of heavy to carry, even when empty. My mistake. If I had thought about it ahead of time, I would have bought a nylon carrier instead.

Heavy Duty, Quality Plastic container w/very good airflow; EASY, Quick to assemble; medium size larger than expected; Extremely helpful to have door open from either side. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that top opening would better serve if it had the ability to open all the way back so that it doesn't close while trying to put animal in it.

I bought this specifically for my cat because she never likes to come out of the carrier while at the vet. She goes into it fine from the main door, but the top opening is very helpful to pull her out while at the vet. It definitely makes it easier and I think less stressful for my cat. The only thing that worries me is the handle that is attached to the top of the crate. It seems sturdy and I haven't had any problems with it yet (carried my kitty around to the vet very frequently over the past few months), but I'm worried in the future it may break off due to the weight. My cat is 11 lbs and the handle just seems so small. I guess time will tell.

Recently used these carriers to take our cats to the vet. Placed two cats weighing about a total of 17 pounds in each kennel with a bed inside. The cats were comfortable and the top doors made it very easy to take the furry friends in and out of the carriers. The carriers were easy to assemble and appreciated the extra screws and tops. Only complaint is some of the plastic tops would not screw on to the screws but having the extra pieces helped that out. After the vet, left the kennels out with doors propped open and the cats have been napping in them for several days. They never did that with our old carriers. Thanks for a great product and excellent service!

Plenty of ventilation is important and this carrier has it. Easy out and then back into carrier is also important. Hard side carriers have the HINGED edge of the front door opening inside the carrier as the door itself opens outward. This makes for a bit of difficulty getting the cat out of the carrier. This top loading carrier opens with a lot of room. Very easy to use even for my 22 lb cat. And the carrier is small enough that a kitten can be secure inside.

This crate was super easy to put together and holds together great. I use it for my two kittens (both 5mo) and they fit great with a little extra space to move around. The opening on top makes it really easy to get them into as well!

I work with a rescue organization and ordered these to use to transport cats for Spay and Neuter Clinics. The top opening is always handy for cats. The carriers are well built, easy to clean and easy to put together.

Perfect cat carrier for two cats. Top loading makes it easy. If you've ever attempted to load cats through a side door, you'll appreciate the ease of this one. Sturdy and priced right. Thank you, Chewy.com!

Love this top load carrier and it came within 24 hours. Could not ask for better service and prices. Also get my cat food from Chewy and am very pleased with them!

This is an excellent carrier. This was the second one I purchased as I liked it so much. I would never purchase another crate that didn't offer the top load too.
