 Great crate for a larger dog Sep 05, 2006
By Eugene Mah
"physics geek"
This is a great crate for travelling with larger dogs. Puts together very quickly (5 latches) and there are slots for a set of optional wheels to make transporting even easier. A little bit on the heavy side though, but not unmanagable

 cheap quality Jun 19, 2010
By Janice A. Anderson
The description says it can accommodate up to a 220lb dog. My dog is 87lbs and the flimsy lock and flimsy pastic already broke after less than 3 mos.
Nice and Sturdy Jul 22, 2011

Have had this dog carrier for 5 years now and still looks and functions great! I put two medium sized dogs in it. I also have the sheepskin padding on the bottom, along with the food and drink cups. Would buy again if needed.
Amazon Rocks - But This Item not Worth Price Nov 28, 2009
By AmazonCrazy
I'd like to start off saying that I love Amazon. They usually have the best price, and I've always been satisfied with their customer service. I originally ordered this exact same item from Ozbo (via a Bing search) - they charged my credit card, but never shipped it. Luckily, I took the initiative early and contacted them a few days after ordering to get the shipping information. Ozbo said that they sent me an email telling me that they couldn't ship the item because it was too big; and that they've had problems before with items this big breaking. I ordered through Ozbo because they were about [...] bucks cheaper and they offered free shipping on this item (yeh right) Well, I'm 100% certain they never sent a follow up email - I checked spam as well and nothing. I did receive their original confirmation of the order though. Well they said that they are refunding me, it's been a week and I don't see my card credited yet - so we'll see how that goes.
Amazon never charges me until they ship the item I order - which is awesome. Also, Amazon got this item to me (that was way to big for Ozbo to ship) within a week - I ordered it on Monday, November 23, 2009 and I received it on Saturday, November 28. Thanksgiving was on the Thursday of the week that I received the item! To top it off, shipping was free on this huge item that was too big for Ozbo to ship. Did I mention that Amazon rocks?
Now the item review:
** Build quality was not good for [...] bucks. I've purchased a crate that was larger than this one from Petsmart for under 130 dollars and it was much more solid. I chose this crate because it was easier to take apart, which is what I looking for - instead of having to screw and unscrew 20 bolts every time I wanted to take it apart or put it together. I plan on keeping this at my daughter's house so when I visit, I have a place to keep my 70 pound German Shepherd.
** This may not be big enough if your dog is bigger than 70 pounds. She can move around and stand up in it, but she has to bow her head a little bit. My other crate, she can easily raise her head in it.
** The door fastener is very flimsy and kind of cheap. It's a spring lock that you have to pinch, which doesn't do a good job spring back to the lock position when the door is closed. When closed, it is only secured at 4 positions. If my dog wanted to, she could easily put a little pressure on the right or left center positions and force the door open. My less expensive, better quality, larger crate has a sturdier door and secures at 6 locations.
In the end, I hope this will do what it's supposed to do an keep my puppy out of trouble while I'm at work or away. Hopefully I'll be able to no longer require a crate for her while I'm away, but last time I tried she ate a flashlight (and luckily didn't get to the batteries).
I am very pleased with Amazon's service and prompt order fulfillment. I ordered a PC from them with Windows 7 and it defective (don't know if it was hardware or software related), but I contacted Amazon and they paid for shipping and a full refund. I just ordered a MacBook Pro through them on black Friday and it was 100 dollars cheaper - 100 dollars cheaper than the Apple Online Store.
