Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a Classic Kennel that I bought from Petco for $55. I wanted a second crate for crate training and bought this one because I thought they were comparable. They are not.
The Petmate kennel is made from flimsy plastic compared to the Classic Kennel. You can feel the plastic flex on the Petmate. The Classic Kennel has quality screws that attach the top to the bottom; the Petmate has cheap molded plastic clips. The door fits perfectly on the Classic Kennel; the door is ill-fitted on the Petmate and is difficult to close.
Basically, it looks like the Petmate went with the cheapest materials to keep their costs down. I would not transport an animal in it, although I will keep it for crate training. Too difficult to return.
Update: 6/9/2009
After having this kennel for about 1 week, I have been able to get the door to close by taking the reviewer's advice above. I cut away some of the plastic to the kennel opening. I also had to reverse the door (open right to left). However, the cheap plastic clips that hold the kennel together keep popping off.
