Style: CK-24Color: Blue 24 INVerified Purchase

The blue 24" rounded top is the perfect size for my Jack Russell terrier - 15 lbs. This is my second one, I had a larger one (for a smaller dog, duh), and gave it away after she passed away (double duh). Anyway, this is a terrific in-home dog house if your dog is a burrower, or just needs some private time. I love the roll up windows. I put a blanket inside and he lives it. I will never zip him inside. This is not a secure crate for a destructive dog. This is a mellow/tame dog hangout. Strong fabric, durable and good looking, VERY easy to assemble.

I love it, but it does have issues. Read thoroughly.

I love this thing, but it does have some issues.
It is easy to clean and my two cats fit nicely in it with room for each to lay out and still have room to stretch out.
The pad that it comes with does not stick to the flooring so that is an issue if you have a cat who likes to tunnel under things and the bottom is not leak proof. Also the bottom is not rigid at all, so when carrying the cats they are squished together due to the bottom being flaccid. I cut a thin but sturdy piece of plywood and attached the pad via velcro (so that I could easily remove it to be cleaned) and now the crate is rigid and the cats do not have to squish together when I carry them. I can still easily fold the crate up for storage.
Also, if you have an escape artist this crate can be easily escaped from. My two cats learned quickly how to get out it and I ended up having to pull over three times during a 30 minute trip to replace them inside it. I had to crawl over seats to get each cat back in, because I feared if I was to open a door I would never see one of them again. I ended up zip tying the zippers together to keep them from escaping during the ride back home. They were then unable to get the zippers open big enough to crawl out of. Only set back to this is having to cut the ties when folding it up or letting the cats out. I am still searching for a good alternative to this.
I love the tie down straps on the bottom of the crate. I have a landcover and I can easily bungycord the straps to the four loop bolts in the floor of the land rovers trunk area. They keep the crate from sliding around or turning over if I have to slam on the brakes or something. I love this feature because I live in a college town with new student drivers who sometimes do not use their heads.
The foldable viewing side flaps are a nice touch, but the velcro straps for these were too long so I had to end up cutting them shorter. I rarely use them as placing a thin blanket over the crate keeps my one anxiety prone cat partially calm as opposed to being able to see out of the crate.
I do believe this crate would work well for a small dog. My sisters toy miniature schnauzer fits perfectly in it with room to stretch out. Both of the schnauzers in it is a bit close quarters though.

Great for kitty car travel

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2012

Style: AG24Color: Green 24 INVerified Purchase

I purchased this (the 24" version) via Amazon in preparation for moving across the country (TX to MI) which, with a cat, takes about 2.5 days of car travel. I've found it to be a fantastic purchase for several reasons.

My cat is between 8.5 and 9.0 lbs, and most hard-shell cases just aren't big enough for her to stand up and stretch, so I didn't want to use my old one for anything more than a quick trip to the vet. This GoPetClub 24" carrier is VERY roomie for her, allowing her to stand, stretch, walk in circles, curiously peek up front, sleep/hide in back, etc. It still fits in the back of my Honda Civic...fits easily if going long-ways across the backseat, and can fit facing forward if I move-up the front passenger seat before loading the carrier, and then move the passenger seat back into position.

The carrier is soft all around, so if/when jostled, my cat doesn't bump against anything hard. Admittedly, it can be a little awkward to carry when she scoots all the way to the back (or front) because her weight isn't balanced, but this is a pretty minor issue. We normally load it on a luggage cart at the hotel anyways.

The windows have shades that roll down on the sides so you can let your cat see outside or close her off to rest, depending on her temperament at the moment of course!

As noted in another review, I was worried about "accidents" as well, since it's a soft bottom. I didn't know that there was particle board beneath, as noted in that other review, so I'm glad I haven't had that problem yet! When I first took my cat in it, I lined it with a puppy pad (training pad used while house-breaking a dog, VERY absorbent) just in case; you can get them pretty cheaply on Amazon, though you may end up with a whole bunch you'll never ever need. :) My vet also suggested buying a cheap plastic picnic-like table cloth at the local dollar store to put underneath the whole carrier to protect the upholstered car seat. I trusted the puppy pad, but I figured someone out there might like the idea. :)

I've been very happy with the carrier and would gladly recommend it to anyone. The dimensions listed on the specific Amazon page -- length, wide, and height -- accurately matched the product that arrived, so I have had no need to contact the company and experience their customer service. It seems that if the wrong item were shipped, it would be Amazon's fault, and most people seem to regard Amazon's customer service as very good. If the wrong item were ordered, that would seem to be a user error, and although perhaps the company's customer service is poor as detailed on one review, it's a risk I was happy to take, given the quality of the item, the great price, and the fact that I saw dimensions specifically listed which I felt would be appropriate for my pet and my vehicle.

Happy shopping!

Not bad, if your pup don't chew!

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2012

Style: AC40Color: Blue 40 INVerified Purchase

We used to lug our yellow lab's 42" metal crate with us wherever we went. He's still a pup and hence a bit of a chewer. The metal crate was cumbersome to load into our SUV, rattled like crazy during the car ride and took up half the rear passenger space. We knew there had to be a better solution. A quick search for "travel crate" brought us here. We looked at several crates, the first one we bought (also a GoPetClub) was too tall to fit in our SUV so we returned it and got this one.

The AC40 is a bit smaller than your average 42" crate but there's still plenty of space for our 72lbs lab to turn around and find a comfy spot. The frame itself is very easy to setup and once the bars are connected (one on each side) it is very sturdy but still light and easy to handle. The external accessory bag is a good size and can hold leashes, treats, and water bottle easily. There's a rollup mesh door and sunroof and what appears to be a short leash. The included crate pad has a soft faux-wool cover over a corrugated plastic board underneath, it isn't soft by any means but it sure beats sleeping on a cold, hard surface. It seems designed to be easy to clean in case of any accidents.

The biggest drawback is that the interior of the crate has too many places where a bored puppy could get his/her chew on. The short leash hangs inside and there are a few too many exposed flaps and seams. We do pull the short leash out through the sunroof when he's crated and also treated the exposed flaps and seams with some bitter apple. So far nothing has been chewed off.

Some other drawbacks - there isn't a solid outer panel you can zip over the mesh panels to give your doggie some privacy or shade. There aren't any tie down loops at the corners so I'm not sure why there's even a short leash. I doubt the material is water resistant. I wouldn't plan on using this for a camping trip unless the weather calls for completely clear skies or you can bring another tent/canopy just for the dog.

Overall we are really happy with this crate and would recommend it if your pet isn't big on chewing, is crate trained and your use case doesn't involve outdoor adventures with the chance for inclement weather.

Easy to travel with and one of two dogs like it

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023

Style: AB32Color: Brown 32 INVerified Purchase

Overall this is a good travel crate. If you can call it a crate. Really it’s a dog tent and one of my dogs barely left it in a recent trip to the beach. It is pretty sturdy, and easy to open and setup. My dog wouldn’t break through it if it were closed, but a more aggressive dog could. I should mention the way the front entrance is designed is a bit weird. My dog has to duck to get in. He a medium 48lb collie. Otherwise although it’s a bit smaller than his normal crate, he has plenty of room to maneuver inside.

His twin brother who loves the crate at home, wouldn’t give it a second look. I think he might not have liked the idea of ducking to get in. If you look at the pictures you’ll see the entrance opening is about 3” down. Unlike his crate at home that has basically no lip on the top or bottom of the entrance. I might keep it cause I hate to have a crate for one and not the other.

Must not give one child special treatment.

I’d recommend this. But for what it is. It’s not a full on crate. It’s just a nice place to sleep and feel safe if that’s your thing.

My Mini Dash Hounds Love It

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2011

Style: AG32Color: Green 32 INVerified Purchase

The Pet Club crate is very nice looking, and spacious, I ordered a small and my two, 2yr. old mini dashhounds really liked sleeping in it at night when we first got it and them, because they were not totally house trained yet. I gave it only 3 stars because after the first week the zipper encloser ripped, so I just got a needle and thread and repaired it. We tried putting the dogs in it while away for a few hours bowling and they had no trouble getting out of it because it is made out of canvas very flexible and they figured out how to undo the zipper.

They did very well sleeping in it the first 8 weeks we got it but if I planned on keeping them in it for night time to sleep in only the medium one would have been a little more roomy for better comfort for them. I know longer use it for them to sleep but they like playing in it so it is still set up in the livingroom and really looks like a cute little den for them. It also came in handy when they got fixed and needed alone time to rest.
I also feed the two dogs separtely and one eats in it and the other eats in the kitchen. It will also be a great bed for traveling because it folds up flat. We plan to use it for night time use when we travel or if I ever have to board them at the vets, I'm sure they will be more comfortable having it there.

Good price and I'm still glad I got it. No more problems with the zipper after I sewed it up a couple of times.

It has a lot of good points and looks nice but don't expect your pet will stay in it when your not there because they'll figure how to get out of it. I think it would also be great to bring for a day at the beach for coverage for a nap as long as there is no wind to blow it away. For those campers it would be nice for naps outside but wouldn't be good for a shelter in a down pour of rain.

If you need to make sure your pet stays put, get something stronger like a roomy metal crate. I used one years ago to crate train my cockerspanials.

Very Glad I bought it.

We bought this for a newly adopted dog because previous owner said he liked to sleep in a crate. Our other 2 dogs sleep wherever they want, so he acclimated quickly and enjoyed sleeping on couch or on humans' bed LOL. The crate comes with a shearling cover bed. It's not a very thick, cushy bed but is better than nothing. The other 2 dogs found the crate interesting and will sometimes nap in it. We RV a lot and it will be perfect to take while traveling.

Good crate for calm dogs, not for higher energy

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024

Style: AB25Color: Brown 25 INVerified Purchase

This crate travels well - easy to assemble, easy to fold back up, plenty of room, and easy to use. Unfortunately, I only got two uses out of it. The first time my 10 month old dog treated like any other crate and chilled out in the crate. The second time, she treated it like a chew toy and was able to easily escape. I'm going to have to upgrade to a hard crate. If you don't have any escape concerns this is a great value but make sure it's right for your pup.
