Suncast Deluxe Aqua Dog Kennel

We got this as a temporary holding pen while we clean out our chin's cage weekly. We'd previously had a much smaller container that he nervously chewed the entire time he was in it. There's a little chewing when he's in here, he is a rodent after all and we redirect him from, but all the wires instead of plastic make him a lot more at ease. Today, he was comfy enough that he snoozed a bit while we cleaned. It's actually too big for him, and in a pinch we transported a small (8lb) cat to the vet in it- she was a little tight but it was manageable. Door seems secure, easy enough to get the pets in/out, and get your hand in to clean.

I purchased this crate for my two Yorkie puppies, because it looked like it would have the best air flow, but will be requesting a return as I feel it is really cheaply made. If you take the top off, it falls apart. All the grates come out and then it's hard to get everything aligned again to put the top back on. It's nice looking, but needs to be redesigned.

Much better than expected. Well made with wire panels on all sides to allow for superb venelation. Replacement parts are available. I highly recommend.

I got this for my 9# cat, but her 15# BIG brother claimed it for himself as soon as he saw it. He's a lot taller than the recommended 9”, so he can't stand up in it – BUT – he can turn around and lay {curl up!} very comfortably and he loves to nap in it. He likes it a lot more than the slightly larger one I'd bought for him and won't let his sister near it. ~~~~~ Since we only use this for trips to the vet and in case of an emergency and he really isn't cramped in it, the smaller size isn't an issue. Now I'm thinking I need to find a smaller one for his little sister. ~~~~~ A strap isn't included, but there are 2 sturdy little metal bars to attach a one to. ~~~~~ The top and bottom I got this for my 9# cat, but her 15# BIG brother claimed it for himself as soon as he saw it.

If you don't plan on dissembling it after each use, there is also a small hole next to each connector so that you can use a zip-tie for added security. ~~~~~ My 2 cats and I really love the soft-sided carriers, but after having three bust their zipper {after VERY light use} I decided to take the hint that they just aren't very secure. ~~~~~ Paws and thumbs up for this carrier! … more

Exactly what I was looking for training my Teacup Yorkie, Quality construction.

I am pleased with both the look & functionality of this carrier. I have used them for my fat cats for a few years now & they’re still going strong.

We bought this carrier for a green cheek conure. It’s easy to put in a perch. Allows the bird to see out of the carrier better than traditional carriers!!

I love it...i use this for my Senegal parrot...great for vet or travel..

Just ordered this very attractive and well designed pet carrier. However, I am returning it because it looks pretty flimsy to me and I don't think any ambitious cat or dog could be contained in it for long. The Midwest carrier (for just a few dollars more) seems much sturdier and I have had one for several years. It has held up well. Perhaps if Suncast were to rethink their design and materials, I think this one could be a winner.

I absolutly love it! Its durable and does its purpose and my animal loves it! Super cute as well!!
