SportPet Designs Large Pop Open Kennel

This Sportpet Design pet carrier is a quality product well worth the price. It is sturdy, large, collapsable and well built. The outer material is made from some type of fabric but it is much stronger than i had expected. IF, and i do mean IF, a cat were able to claw through the fabric it would take them a long time to get out and it would not be easy. So it is perfect for transporting pets in a vehicle or as a temporary cage when the owner is nearby to keep an eye on the pet. Two medium sized cats could fit just fine in it for a couple of hours on a road trip without being cramped. It is a GREAT pet carrier/kennel considering the low price but don't expect a hard plastic outer shell because it is made from a durable type of fabric similar to what I have seen some camping tents made from. But it is strong enough to keep the average dog or cat confined within for a few hours easily. I am glad i purchased it.

This large pop-open kennel is a must-have for anyone traveling with cats or small pets. It’s incredibly easy to unfold and pack away, and the included waterproof bed is a thoughtful touch — soft enough for naps and super easy to wipe clean. The size is generous, giving my cat room to stretch, turn around, and feel secure without feeling cramped. The mesh panels provide great airflow and visibility, which helped reduce her anxiety during a recent trip. Zippers feel sturdy, and the whole setup is lightweight but stable once in place. ✅ Tip: Leave it open at home before travel so your pet gets used to it — mine started using it as a hideout! Highly recommend for vet visits, road trips, or even as a temporary lounge space at home.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great for traveling. Small compact and easy to setup and stow away. Little small for my 100lb lab but he likes to lay in it. My little heeler (velosaraptor) fits great but if he wanted out he would probably find a way. Overall quality looks is great just wish it was more sturdy with better zippers. Ease of transport: Folds small and loghtweight.

I got this for my dog for after her surgery. She had surgery on her leg and has to stay off it for 6 weeks except for leash walking. I needed something to keep her in and still be with us. This fits nicely on the couch and I really like that it has the front big zipper opening. It makes it easier to take her in and out without hurting her. Also it has a cover if I needed to shade her. It's just soft on the bottom so she has the couch under her and the mesh is easy for her to see through. It's roomy enough for her to be able to move around a little but still be confined. She is a 17lb Westie. I would caution people though to not think this can be used without supervision. I'm sure she could claw/chew her way out of this, but since we are only using it when we are home and right there she does not challenge it. If we have to go out she goes in a standard metal crate.

I needed a place for my dog to sleep during a three night stay at an airbnb. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and this kennel was perfect for my dog who is normally crated at night. Its lightweight yet sturdy and with his little pillows, he was super comfy. It was spacious but easily packable in my car. Now, I will say that if your dog is a chewer or would try to force his way out of the kennel, it would not be strong enough to contain him.

Perfect size for my chihuahua, she has room for her bed in there plus it comes with a soft bottom and carry bag. She outgrew her hard crate so this was on sale at the perfect time. Plus it's oblong so it fits exactly where I wanted it. The round ones ( I have 3 ) take up to much floor space. I should have gotten 2 just in case. It also has a top cover that goes over the netting which I really liked. Seems built well, we will see how it holds up over time. The zippers seemstrong, very hard to zip though, would have been better if there was more sturdiness around door, it's kinda hard to zip up. It's long and wide enough fir her to stretch out without worry of her rolling it over and the spring is very sturdy and stable enough that it won't collapse. I do wish it came in other colors though. It's great for traveling or to visit friends, folds up quick and has a carry bag. I love that there are no rods to put in. It's a perfect lil travel house. UPDATE... after only having it less than a month the zippers are DESTROYED!!! Don't waste your money on this!!!

I don't know if our cat will like it, but it's worth a try. She has developed very bad toilet habits in her old age, and we want to keep her has long as we can without living in a toilet. I like the quality and the way it pops up to full size easily and folds back into a fairly small flat frisbee shape so it can be stored away easily. It gets big for use, then small again for storage. It has loops to put a seat belt through if you transport your pet in the car. I think it's pretty good quality with great functionality.

I got a rescued kitten in October. I also work a few days a week and don't feel he's old enough to be left by himself for 8-10 hours. He also sleeps in it at night for the same reason... not old enough to wander around unattended. Within a day he had figured out the zippers. The fix for me was a small swivel hook, but small carabiner clip might work. The carabiner I had was too large and he was able to escape through even that small opening, thus the small swivel hook.. Most times he goes right in when we get to the opening, not happy about it, but he does. A few times in the beginning I admit to having pushed him in and dodging those flailing claws to get him zipped up, but those times are long gone now. I guess it's a matter of... look Mister, I don't think you realize this but I'm the boss and this is YOUR room. lol Of course that was before I realized HE is the BOSS of the house... Within the first few days of having it, he jumped on it and of course it collapsed. You can't have a fold up device if it won't collapse. Did it scare him, lol , yes..... did it keep him from coming back to jump on it again, and again and again, NO. He finally learned his 'bedroom' was NOT a perch to jump on. I never thought about putting a litter box in it, but he's only 6 months old and I shouldn't have expected he could do a 9-10 hour stay and then turn around a few hours later and do an over night stay in it with perfection.... so yes, we had a little accident. The mat did not absorb all of the accident, which is how I discovered we had a little issue. Urine soaked through the bottom of the kennel. I'll have to figure a way to clean that up and find him a small litter box because it's not his fault he couldn't wait any longer, it's mommy's for expecting too much from a little 6 month old baby. I've read the mat can be washed, so I'm glad to know that. I also read a comment about someone using baking soda to clean the main fabric. Hoping that will work. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind buying a second one and start out with a litter box inside it, but we'll see if we can clean this one up first. I sometimes call him the Demon kitty because he's all teeth and claws on my arms. lol . As far as durability, it's held up to the demon kitty and the clasps I put on the zipper pulls have contained him, so I have no complaints and would probably invest in another should I need it. I even recommended to another new kitty owner. I haven't had to travel any distance with him, so can't speak for the travel useage, but see that others have. The only trips we've made have been to the vet less than 5 miles away and I got a small carrier for that. He travels well in the carrier and I suspect he would do well in his Bedroom (kennel). He even goes in now and plays a little bit from time to time I think for my purposes, it has been a good investment.

La niche préférée de mes chats

This is very light weight - not what was expected. It's easy to put up, but sadly the dog refuses to go into it and is scared of it, so I will probably on-sell or gift to a charity shop and look for something else.

It helps but I thought it would be a little more stable and the material thicker, anyway helped me with my tiny kittens

Bought it for a large older cat to use as a hideout for now. I keep the mesh and nylon openings rolled up for full open access. It is pretty big but I can see it having multiple uses in future. It’s very light and portable. My cat doesn’t fit in smaller cat sized beds and sleepers and he loved this from the second I unpacked it. Definitely room for 2 cats or a small dog. For one cat there is tons of height, room for bedding, toys and still ample room for him to sprawl out. The material is a standard thin nylon, like an umbrella material, which lets in some light. Conveniently comes with a drawstring nylon bag for when you fold it down. So far I’m pretty happy with this purchase.

A casinha é muito boa pois é leve e assim se torna fácil de manejar ela pela casa. O único contraponto é que se o seu cachorro é acostumado encostar na parede para dormir, provavelmente a casinha vai tombar algumas vezes.. acontece com a minha as vezes, mas ai é só deixar encostado na parede q isso não acontece!
