Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This carrier comes with a food/water attachment which saves the trouble of finding one. Some airlines are okay with the plastic black bolts that come with this carrier. Most airlines require metal bolts and nuts on international flights.

I have a one-year-old belgian malinois/german shepherd mix who had really awful separation anxiety when he first came to live with me. Derby is about 50 lbs, and i chose the 32 because he curls up into a little ball whenever he's inside his kennel. Ap...  Read More

My two cats are about 1 1/2 years old and weight between 9-11lbs. My dog is a min pin mix and weighs about 15 lbs.



Cons

The latest standard for international pet cargo requires the door mesh have openings no larger than 25mm on any part of the door or any ventilation area. I have a pet mate from 30 years ago it is much better than this new one, but i lost the door.

The plastic compostion on the top of the create is very weak. I guess i'll be shelling our for the better brands and not shopping via amazon.

This product arrived damaged, additionally, it states for air travel. Now it has to be disassembled and put back into a 4 foot box and brought to ups to be returned. I then reordered one of the carriers, the second carrier arrives and there was a huge...  Read More

It all worked out well - also very sturdy and not exceptionally heavy for the large size.

Price


Overall, the price is great and your fur baby will be safe & comfortable.


I am pleased and the price was a great deal.


I purchased these at wal mart for $17 for 40 pads.


Drinking bowl and food bowl: i purchased 4 of these from pet smart (see photo) they are about $9 each.

Shipping


It all came down to the agent at the desk at the time of check in, she was brand new.


Side note: ours did arrive without a door, but petmate customer sent one via fedex within 2 hours of my first email.


I brought 16 zip ties, enough to close them in and re-secure the door if i was able to let them out at frankfurt, my connecting flight.

Packaging/appearance


I covered the stickers with 3m packaging tape to keep them from wearing off from moisture.


Just got it and it looks great!


The giant box it comes in has doubled as a pretend ice cream truck for my 7 year old.


Easy to assemble… looks classy… although the cardboard box it came in, was totally torn in half when it arrived

Competitiveness


The water/food dish is pretty useless, so i replaced it with another brand.


Most airlines require a metal fastener to secure the kennel top and bottom, which comes from the iata regulation.
