SportPet Small Kennel

Can’t understand why this is a frequently returned item. Maybe because it’s larger than what people think? I have a 24 pound big cat and have been traveling with him in a medium size metal crate. Crate is too big and I think he would prefer something smaller so he feels safer because he hates to travel. We’re typically in the car no more than 2.5-3.5 hours. Have looked at a number of pet carriers because he’s so big that most the small crates are too small, he would destroy a soft crate and the larger crates are too big. Found this one and it was purrfect. He can stand up and he can turn around because he’s a cat, even though he’s morbidly obese he’s amazingly bendy and squashy. He also didn’t allow me to put it together before he claimed it. I had to assemble it with him in it and assembly was very easy, great design. Excellent sturdy construction, we do not plan on traveling in a plane so I can’t speak for that, the “certificate” it came with saying it was plane compliant was dated 2013. Things may have changed since then but there’s no way an animal is getting out of this without assistance. If you’re planning to travel on a plane, just try to make sure there will be no loose monkeys because they could definitely figure out how to open the door. We will be taking a trip fairly soon and I hope that he is happier in this than he was in the metal crate. Of course he wouldn’t cooperate to get a side-by-side picture and he looks too big in the video where he’s standing on top, but the crate accommodates him beautifully. Well ventilated, but won’t allow him to stick his fat paw through to claw shred my car, cool water/food dishes and stickers to stick all over it letting everyone know it contains a LIVE ANIMAL. Could also be used for a raccoon as long as his hands were not too tiny, so as not to reach them through the door to open it from the outside.

Updated review: the seller sent an extra water dish to rectify the problem as I had purchased it for the two dishes. Stains were also removed with a wet cloth. The crate is exactly what I required. Thank you! It’s missing a water dish and extra live animal stickers as listed in the description. Also it has stains so I’m wondering if a used product has been given to me

Well used to transport my pet in the airline. It met flying regulations and my pet arrived safely. The price is also quite reasonable

A bit bigger than I thought but perfect for my larger cat with room to turn around in and well ventilated. Sturdy and airline approved without being too heavy. Very easy to assemble. Good product as advertised.

I bought this crate today and assembled it. It is perfect for a German Shepherd puppy. I will have to buy the bigger size later in the future.
