## Description

Product Description An desertcart Brand. From the Manufacturer desertcartBasics

Review: Very nice crate. - This crate had all parts included at arrival. I purchased this two-toned gray crate as a new product and received it as such. I would have immediately returned if it had been used or damaged. I assembled without any problems. The crate made with medium heavy plastic on 1/2 sides down, back and bottom with 4” inserted wire windows into plastic sections which secured the safety of the crate even more. I observed no exposed wire ends around the three inserted wire windows. The front gate seemed heavy duty and sturdy and was installed without problems. I placed the crate back on the floor and easily installed all four corner wires into designated holes at the same time for a safe/secure fit. I appreciated these holes were built up above the level of the top for added security fit. My dog weighs approx 10-11lbs. She is a small mixed dachshund/chihuahua. I would not recommend a larger dog or cat because I observed a strain on the top of gate when I carried her inside. The top of the crate would stretch and cause the gate wires to come out of their designated holes. The door could not be opened until I lifted the crate with her inside again and easily returned the gate wires to their designated holes. I would not recommend forcing the gate for fear of breaking the plastic holes or bending the gate door. I appreciate the door can be opened on either the left or right side. I appreciate the dual plastic locking devices…arthritic fingers. I would not recommend carrying a pet inside this crate for a long length of time. I suggest making the end door wires a bit longer so a bolt can be screwed to each wire end for added stability when the plastic crate pulls away from the gate wires. I bought this crate for safety while on short trips, shopping, distress alleviating exercises and while I vacuum and mop. She is terrified of all common home noises and mortified of being outside either with me or fear of being left outside alone. My little dog was one of a dozen small dogs living their entire lives in a small wire cage OUTSIDE in a horrible hoarding situation. Her dew claws are permanently damaged due to being caught in the floor wires and broken away from her foot bone. After a week of seeing this crate, short entries (all while holding the carrier) she now enters it on her on and rests peacefully. The bottom is sturdy and safe and all wire window inserts pose no threat to her safety and allows her to see me from all sides of the crate as I move around her. I did not need instructions to assemble this crate. 15 mins total. I am 67 years old.
Review: Better than you think! - Very sturdy build, first one sent was obviously a previous return with missing hardware but quick fix replacement and it's perfect size and not a cheap flimsy design. Door opens either way or comes off completely without having to unscrew the sides, door has bars for the top and bottom covers to prevent the handle or pet weight stretch and the handle clips flush with the top for stacking or organizing. Very pleased.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work for my 25 piund cavapoo**
A: Please see the one-star reviews about how the top door comes open when you pick this carrier up by the handle, because the bar holding the top closed moves when the handle is lifted.  This happened with two 4 lb kittens !  A 25 lb. dog would put even more stress on the handle and closing mechanism.  A 25 lb. animal needs a very sturdy carrier and this is not it.

**Q: Can I attach a strap?**
A: Attaching a strap would be unpractical.  The carrier can be bulky carrying it over your shoulder.  It's probably easier putting it on wheels;  then strap it with a belt for securing the carrier.

**Q: Is this airline approved?**
A: No, the Amazon basic kennels would not be approved for airline travel; I have the 40in size I use at home for my GSDs and have flown lets overseas in cargo and in cabin. Kennels for airline travel must be zip tied in the corners, and use metal caps with screws to hold the kennel together. It must also have a single door that can be zip tied closed on 2-4 corners. (Another tip: most airlines will not allow metal air vents either and they need to be part of the plastic, like this carrier has). The plastic is also not very sturdy so while fine for casual home use, I would not use this for airline travel even if it had all of the above.

**Q: Are the measurments from the outside or inside?**
A: 15" high, 13" wide, 23" long -- i'm just going by the product description on this page, i don't have one. (outside measurements)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good crate that I am happy with
*by A***A on August 4, 2018*

*Overall, I would rate this crate as definitely worth it. However, I'm giving this 5 stars not because I necessarily think this is the best crate ever, or I'd never like another one. It functions well, especially for the price. I can't think of a reason to give it 4 stars, as I have no desire to get a different crate. This is a good crate, again especially because of the price!* Fairly easy to put together, just follow the instructions. No tools technically needed, but I did use a basic screw driver to help put in the 6 screws around the edge. If that's a deal breaker for you, it would technically work without the screws, as there are too plastic clamps on either side... (although I don't advise it, especially if it's not just sitting on the floor like mine.) I enjoy the design of the door. It is easy and smooth to open and shut the door, which is one of the most important things for me when choosing a crate. If you want your pet to be able to go in and out as they please, you will need to brace the door open to keep it open all the way. (That's not a complaint, just a note.) It is not difficult though; personally, I just stick a dog toy at the bottom. Really anything would work. I really like that it opens from the top! I have a small dog that likes to meld himself to the back of the crate when he is sleeping. It would literally be impossible to get him out through the front, because I am physically unable to reach him. Now I just pop the top open and I can reach him just fine! The opening is large enough to easily lift him out. The lock/latch system keeps the top stays securely in place when not in use. I will say opening from the top is not as easy nor smooth as the front door. It does take me a few times. Taking the top off IS much faster than putting it back in place, however, which matters more to me. As does it's security. If I have one issue with this crate, it's that I struggle a bit to open and close the top. It's not worth a whole star though, in my opinion. It's not because anything is wrong with it or the parts are cheap. It just takes control and precision (and therefore practice). There are two rods that come in and out on both sides. They need to to be lined up in their respective proper place at the same time, which requires both hands to be in sync with eachother. I could see myself getting better at it over time. I just haven't been using it a lot. When I need to, though, I really appreciate it still and I'm glad it's available; it's definitely worth it. If you have a pet that is hard to get out (maybe at the vet), the top door will come in handy!
