Pros & Cons
Pros
French bulldog fits just fine in this kennel. This crate is great to help with calming.
The latch is husband proof. The smooth plastic surface and removable tray at the bottom allow for quick and convenient cleanup.
The petmate ultra vari dog kennel is a game-changer for pet owners with extra-large dogs. The crate combines durability, comfort, and safety in one package. It is so hard to find a kennel this large that's this affordable. Ordered this last minute bef... Read More
Cons
Mom's 20+ year old petmate crate is much sturdier. There were two large clumps of sharp plastic on both the top and bottom of the crate. Do not buy this crate.
The door on this is flimsy and not heavy metal as what appears in the picture. The door knob is not usable. Even the door latch mechanism is weaker.
The only job a cat carrier has to do is keep a cat contained and this failed miserably. It is not for dogs that have separation anxiety or very strong chewers. My five-month old golden retriever puppy has no room to grow in this thing.
The plastic is so much thinner and brittle feeling. The carry handle which used to be riveted on is now a very thin, extremely cheap part. The window grates and doors are much less secure.
Highlights
Quality
This kennel is very high quality and easy to use.
The first thing that impressed me about the ultra vari dog kennel is its robust and durable construction.
The plastic is so much thinner and brittle feeling.
The first one i purchased, he busted the locking mechanism off of the door on the first day.
Price
I did my research before buying, and i agree for the price it’s a great plastic crate.
Your options start at close to $600!
I just wish they had a bulk purchase discount.
Shipping
It meets all of our needs for safe transport .
We used this to ship our dogs from the states to korea.
We need this kennel to transport our dog to portugal.
Packaging/appearance
The pickup driver told me he could not take it ‘like this’, (since the box was smashed).
Received the first kennel with cracked plastic, the second one the same.
Would have given it 5 stars, but it arrived damaged (an insignificant corner piece had broken off in transport i suspect), most... Read More
We found this one and when it arrived boxed up, it was easy to get out and assemble.
Competitiveness
We found another one at a local store and tried that one and it worked better so we returned this one.
I bought the 90-125lb model kennel on a recommendation from a breeder, as she has 5 of them for each of her berners.

Many of the holes that the bolt needs to go through to attach the upper to lower have were not punched out

Also note if you by the air travel kit there is not enough hardware for all the connection points of the larger crate
