Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I cannot believe this crate was only $33!!!I looked around both online and in the big pet stores and crates of this size/quality (I ordered the 32" x 23") were $70+. And, because I have an Amazon Visa card I got free shipping, love that!People, you must know your dog! If your dog isn't already crate trained, don't put it in a soft-sided crate and expect the crate to withstand the abuse it's going to get from a frantic dog trying to get out!No soft-sided crate is meant for that. This crate can be put up in less than half a minute.The zippers are high quality.It does not have a carrying case, a plus for me.It simply folds back up and is held together by heavy black plastic quick-snaps. There is a carrying handle on the one long side.I also purchased the Med/Large Precision Pet SnooZZy sleeper bed offered by Amazon.Which is basically a crate mat (my dog prefers it to his bed).I placed the mat inside the crate and even though the mat is a few inches longer than the crate the crate can still be easily folded up and snapped together with the mat inside.This was another plus for me, as I already have enough to remember and carry when going somewhere with my dog, the last thing I'd want to do is forget the crate mat.I left the crate set up for a few days to air out, as it had a strong "plastic" smell from being new.The roof supports that keep the crate erect were a little difficult to latch on my first try, but I feel this is because the fabric is new and hasn't been stretched yet.I'm very happy with my purchase.
