Pet LifeDeluxe Vista-View 360 Degree Zippered Soft Folding Dog Crate with Built-in Tray and Travel Pet Bowl - Dog Kennel Featuring with Dual-Zippered Entrances

I bought this soft crate for my Keeshond puppy, so that we had a crate to travel with over the holidays and I didn't have to carry around her heavy 36" wire crate. For that purpose it's worked out great. We even used it at a dog show earlier this month and it was great to have something I could fold up and carry easily. I live in NYC, and have taken this crate on the subway, packed it into a cab, and on the commuter rail, all with no issues.Durability:My biggest concern with buying this (or any soft crate) is that my pup would chew/scratch through the sides. Luckily, she seems to have very little interest in doing this (even though she sometimes chews at her wire crate). The times that I've seen her scratching/digging or chewing at something in there the crate seems to hold up nicely (no fraying or any real signs of wear). The material feels sturdy, and like it can withstand a mild amount of dog chewing/scratching. The straps and handles are fantastic as well. The fleece liner is fine, it's something soft to keep my pup off the ground but doesn't provide the support of a pan liner - my pup doesn't seem to care.Application:This crate is great for traveling, especially if you will have to carry the crate around for a bit (ex. I live in NYC and routinely take the crate up and down steps into the subway or on the Metro North commuter rail - if I lived in the suburbs and had a car in my driveway I would just pack up the heavy wire crate). It folds up to the size of 1 long panel, but I wish it folded smaller. It would be fantastic if this crate folded to the size of the smaller crate panel, which I think could be achieved by having the bottom rods come apart like the top ones do. The little bowl on the side is fine, but mainly useless since what I really need is a bowl on the inside of the crate.Ease of Use:The first time I set this crate up it was a bit miserable. The top rods need to be aligned and connected. To do that you need to pull the sleeve back and physically force the halves together. The first time I found this to be rather difficult, even though I'm a reasonably fit person. However, it has gotten easier every time as the sleeve and rods wear in a little bit.Cost to Value:For the price this crate meets all of my needs and then some. I expected to have a crate to use over the holidays at my parents house, really only for my pup to sleep in or be in while supervised. I expect this crate to have a wider array of usages now that I know how durable and convenient it is. My pup is training to compete in canine agility, so we have to take her around to various competitions and events where we need a crate. She was more than happy to hang out in her soft crate while I went off to do some things at an event recently so I plan to use it for any event where I'm not required to have a wire or hard sided crate.My reasons for giving 4 stars instead of 5:- The crate could be engineered to fold even smaller, which would be ideal.- The fleece lining doesn't provide any support and theres a weird tag in the middle that I had to cut off since my dog kept trying to eat it.- The bowl is useless as it's on the outside of the crate

I live where being evacuated due to wildfires are common. I have a flock of 6 chickens I bought this for incase of a emergency and it is perfect. Large and I can quickly and easily assemble

Our ‘wild jungle cat’ loves this large carrier! it gives him room to move around and stand up which makes all the difference for him to be happy inside of it. We even use it as a crate to take him outside when he is recovering from a procedure! the only thing that could be improved is a way to carry the crate that isn’t so awkward for us humans LOL. Like if one star was longer than the other we could carry it like a shoulder back and not tilt the carrier with animal in it over. Overall great product tho!

Super roomy, very easy to load and unload you own "hairy little children" from the top or side. As others mentioned it has very good venting with screens on the sides. My only suggestion to improve upon it, would be to add a sturdy, light-weight plastic liner to the bottom (in addition to the fleece liner provided) to give it more stability. I have a pretty big guy, both in size and weight (Norwegian Forest Cat). Even at his slimmest adult weight right now, @ 17 lbs he made the bottom sag.I added a plastic feeding area tray that was used as a buffer to keep water & food mess off my hardwood floors. It's an inexpensive one, approx 12"x20" I picked up from the dollar store and it fits perfectly. It gives it just enough support with the fleece liner on top, to distribute my big guy's weight across the bottom. No sagging!

This is a wonderful product for a great value. The only thing we wished it came with was some sort of hard liner to lay in the bottom of the crate for the ability to pick it up without the bottom sagging while our 2 huge cats were already loaded inside for traveling. If you’re using this to load a pet before you transport the animal(s), just be aware that the bottom will sag until you place it in your vehicle, which made the animal a little nervous temporarily. We left it open in our house for a week beforehand and the cats enjoyed hanging out and playing inside on top of the nice soft liner.

We got this to bring our shiba inu puppy home on a seven hour drive. This was plenty of room for our pup. He was very comfortable. This fit in the back seat of our compact SUV to with our son’s booster seat.

Love the size, large fit our two traveling cats with room to move around. Easy to transport.

This crate is very poorly made and the workmanship is quite awful. The fabric and mesh are certainly adequate as is the frame but the sewing is deplorable. I have bought quite a few soft sided crates over the years and likely would not have purchased this one if I had seen it before hand. I kept it only because it is adequate for this dog as he does not try to get out of it.

This is a great crate for my 2 Maltese dogs. It was easy to assemble and fits perfectly allowing for good air circulation.

Excellent carrier....Great quality...Definitely recommend!!!😊😊😊

Perfect !
