This hard-sided pet carrier is a solid choice for safely transporting small to medium pets. The two-door design is especially helpful—being able to use the top entry makes placing my pet inside much easier, especially when they're anxious or uncooperative.The carrier feels durable and secure, with sturdy latches and a well-balanced handle for carrying. I also appreciate the thoughtful design with plenty of ventilation on all sides, including the top and back, so I know my pet is getting good airflow and staying calm.Assembly was simple, and the size comfortably fits my 14-pound cat with room to turn around. It’s a practical, affordable solution that gives me peace of mind when traveling to vet appointments or on longer trips.Highly recommend if you're looking for a no-fuss, dependable pet carrier.

Easy to assemble, sturdy, and secure. Cats haven't had any issues with it, nice and roomy for the average sized cat. Metal door is easy to pinch to open (I have arthritis and dont have any issues with it). The top also separates from the bottom though, if you need it. Overall very happy with this carrier, especially for the money spent.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I decided it was time to get a cat carrier that opens from the top as well after struggling to get my cat out of the front entrance of the carrier I had previously when we were at the vet. I went with this carrier since the price was reasonable. It was very easy to assemble in about 5 minutes (and I'm usually terrible at assembling things). I've only used it once taking my cat to the vet but so far it seems sturdy, and the top opening makes getting my cat in and our much easier.

Bought this travel carrier for my cats for when I bring them to the vet. It is a very sturdy and safe option for them that is also affordable which I appreciate. It is somewhat roomy inside, at least for a smaller cat, but some cats might have a little less easier time. Easy to carry as well. The carrier also has a top door which is super helpful for ease of access for me or the cat.

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.
