SportPet Designs Plastic Kennels Rolling Plastic Wire Door Travel Dog Crate - Medium, Gray (CM-2001-CS01)

The media could not be loaded. 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.

I am very happy with this purchase. The carrier is very sturdy, yet light, and I appreciate that it has vents as opposed to metal grates for windows. The door is large and easy to put our cats through. Also seems very stable, and would be hard to tip over. I was surprised by the size, being that I ordered the smallest carrier. In the 2nd picture you can see how much larger it is than my older carrier. Not complaining though! Was a great value for the price

I absolutely love this pet carrier! It is very sturdy. I used it for my two cats to drive across country. I ordered the small and it was definitely closer to a medium, but fit perfectly in the passenger seat of my car. Very easy to use and put together.

We take this crate in the car, truck and even on the back of the motorcycle! My husband cut a hole in the back so she can stick her head out when on the motorcycle. In the car and truck, we leave the door open and she is able to go in and out when she wants to on long trips. This is sturdy, easy to use and we place a pillow inside to make it comfy for her. This fits well in the backseat of our vehicles. This also works well in our RV, the size is not too large yet roomy for our dog. It's a little heavy for me, but I am not sure it can be made any lighter for the price.

I recently purchased this SportPet Designs Plastic Dog Crate, and it’s been a great choice for our dog’s travel needs. The large size is perfect for my medium-sized dog, providing plenty of room for comfort without feeling too cramped. The plastic construction feels solid and durable, and I love the wire door for easy access and ventilation.One of the standout features is the built-in wheels that make it so much easier to transport, especially when traveling to the vet or on longer trips. It rolls smoothly, and I don’t have to worry about struggling with carrying the crate. The latching mechanism is secure, keeping my dog safe and contained without any risk of escape.The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is that it’s a bit bulky, making it harder to store in smaller spaces. However, it’s still very practical for travel and provides great value. If you need a reliable, sturdy kennel for your dog, this is a solid option!

I bought a medium carrier so that my larger cats have ample room when I take them for vet visits and the size is perfect.It's very easy to assemble, no extra tools required. I like the extra fastening measures for travel use too. The wheels are optional and slide in and lock easily when needed. Would definitely purchase again.

This crate is perfect for our 72lb Golden Retriever—spacious, sturdy, and exactly what we needed. We misplaced a few bolts, and the vendor was incredibly accommodating, quickly sending us a replacement set at no charge. Excellent product and outstanding customer service!

I’m getting a new Lab puppy so I needed a kennel. I really like this one. It was relatively easy to put together if you follow the instructions which I didn’t initially do lol. Suggest you do it as a few steps aren’t intuitive. I did have a bit of a problem getting the holes to line up so I could insert the screws thru the holes to connect the top and bottom pieces. However, with some pressure I was successful. I like the fact it has holes to tie it down in the car. I bought bungee cords for that. This is one of the few kennels that have these tie down holes. Also the screws and nuts are metal rather than plastic which airlines require. Many of the other kennels have plastic hardware. I like that the wheels are sturdy and removable so I can move it around the house with ease since it’s 21lbs without the big puppy in it. I got the Large 32 inch that has 2 handles back and front so you can pick it up with ease. The smaller ones only have one handle in the middle. I think it was a good buy since it was on sale.
