Petmate Vari Dog & Cat Kennel

The crate is just as expected and my dog loves it. I always recommend ordering anything you need for your pets from Chewy. Their customer service can't be beat. You know you can rely on them if you do find an issue or need to make a return. On top of their quick delivery.

I had to replace my dog's crate, typed in the name of the previous crate I had been using and this one popped into the window. The door can be hung to open from the left or from the right. The door is opened by squeezing two metal tabs that compress springs. Two metal bars fit into holes at the top and bottom of the door opening. The casing for the front of the lock is plastic, easily removable even from inside the crate and my dog was able to knock it off, and the door opened because nothing was now holding the metal bar/spring mechanism in place. Wyatt is an escape artist who as a puppy, was able to open his first crate with his nose. The crate I replaced was Wyatt proof.

I'm hoping Gorilla glue and some packing tape will keep the cover on the lock and the dog in the crate. For how expensive this crate is, the manufacturer needs to do a redesign of that lock, because it is definitely not worth the price. … more

I've had several Petmate kennels before and was extremely pleased. I got this kennel the other day and was disappointed in the quality. Holes were not drilled in the upper lid by the gate. There should be 3 holes starting by the gate to the middle of the of the right side. The bottom section has the holes drilled. I am keeping the kennel since my dog is well behaved in the crate and will only be used in our home.

My pitbull and lab mix is a chewers and digger. This crate helps calm her down and may help yours. Definitely recommend

Exactly as described. Easy to assemble. You’ll be shocked at how large of a box it comes in but it was well protected and did not crack.

This worked very well for my golden retriever puppy until she outgrew it at 4 months (as expected) and I switched her to a bigger version.

I ordered the largest size for my red nose pitbull, she was nervous at first but now she won’t get out of it she has her kong toys and her little treats inside she loves it I say this kennel is a 10/10 highly recommended very durable very easy to put together instructions were self-explanatory I love it thank you chewy

This product was very nice, good quality. It was a little too short for my Havanese/Coton 11lb. puppers.

Just the right size for my Australian Kelpie. Plenty of air holes for circulation and not overly heavy. Using in the house and for travel.

Crate was easy to assemble and works wonderfully for our dog. There are a few complaints. The door does not shut easily and takes a little more work to make it close correctly. There is also a broken piece in the lower right hand corner. It seems to have broken off at some point. Not large enough to effect our dog, but still disappointing. The crate is still useable just a little frustrating the few flaws.
