Easy to put together
This kennel is great for individuals with low energy dogs. However, I wouldn’t recommend it to someone with a high energy/anxious pet because my 55+ lbs pup can move it across the room fairly easily.I also wish it had a handle for transport either on the top or side to make moving it easier.Overall, it’s worth the money and I’m satisfied with my purchase but there are some improvements that could be made!

5.0 out of 5 stars Travel Safely and Stylishly with Petmate's Vari Dog Kennel!
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2023
The Petmate Vari Dog Kennel has become an indispensable part of our pet-loving family's life. Whether we're hitting the road for a family trip or simply ensuring our furry companions have their personal space at home, this kennel has proven its worth in more ways than one.

**Safe and Spacious:**
One of the remarkable features of this kennel is its roomy interior. Our recent foster, a 70lb pitbull, had an absolute blast in there! It's the perfect space for medium to large dogs, ensuring they stay secure and comfortable during car rides.

**Cruising in Comfort:**
Speaking of car rides, this kennel fits like a charm in our crossover. It's as if it was tailor-made for our vehicle. This snug fit not only keeps our pups safe but also adds a layer of convenience during our journeys.

**Airline-Friendly Design:**
What truly sets the Petmate Vari Dog Kennel apart is its airline-friendly design. It meets most airline cargo specifications, making it an excellent choice for pet parents who travel by air. Our pets breathe comfortably through the ventilation on all four sides, and we travel with peace of mind knowing they're secure.

**Eco-Friendly and Easy to Clean:**
We're also impressed by Petmate's commitment to eco-friendly materials. This kennel is made from certified recycled material, aligning with our values for sustainable pet products. Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the wipeable plastic shell and the smart stay-dry moat that keeps wet accidents contained.

**No-Fuss Assembly:**
Assembly is a cinch, and no tools are required. We appreciate how quickly we can set up or disassemble the kennel, making it hassle-free for busy pet parents.

In conclusion, the Petmate Vari Dog Kennel is a reliable, safe, and comfortable space for our furry companions, whether we're on the road or at home. It's not just a kennel; it's peace of mind. We trust Petmate's commitment to quality and eco-friendliness, and this kennel has truly changed the way we travel with our pets. Say goodbye to safety concerns and hello to stylish and secure travel with the Petmate Vari Dog Kennel!
