 Good crate, but not for everyday Jan 30, 2006
By J. Davis
This is a good crate, but it's not made with the best quality of materials. I chose this crate because it was cheaper than many of the other ones and I'm happy with it overall. But, the zippers don't slide very easily and the side supports are more flimsy than other crates I've looked at. It's a crate that works well for temporary settings and it's very lightweight compared to my wire crate -- but, it's not very sturdy, so make sure your dog is well-behaved and doesn't claw at the bottom of the crate.
I do like the fact that three sides have zippers, so you can easily access your dog or drop treats in from the top. There is also a treat bag that comes with it and a place for your dog's ID on the crate. There is a handle on the side for easy transportation when the crate is folded. It also comes with a pad that is soft on one side and slick on the other (so you can use it for hot or cold days), which is nice.
Overall, it's a good crate but it could use a few small improvements. If you're looking for something to stand up to tougher dogs or to use every day, you might want to look for a heavier-duty crate. If you're looking for something to travel with and use on an occassional basis, this is a pretty good bargain.

Great, but use it in the way that it was intended! Feb 19, 2007
By P. Helton
For those of you with new puppies and those looking for a long-term everyday solution- this is not the crate for you. BUT, this crate wasn't designed to withstand rambunctious puppies or every day use. This crate, however, is wonderful as it was intended to be- a portable (hence Home N Go) crate that you can set up and take down quickly. Since it was the largest small crate I could fit into my car at the time, I carried my big cocker down flights of stairs after reinforcing the bottom with duct tape and holding the bottom as I went. My crate has held up under conditions WAY beyond what it was supposed to. This is also a great crate, if you want something that folds up, is light and easy to set up. For example if I take my cocker to a dog show, it's perfect for that. NO soft-side crate is good for a puppy- stick with hard plastic or wire. The Home 'N Go is also great if I need to crate my cocker short-term while I work with my border collie. (My BC puppy has a wire pen and a hard plastic crate).
So, like most anything, if you use the product in the way it was intended, it works well. I wouldn't mind a little sturdier mesh either, and though I've had no problem with my zippers, I hope that all continue to hold up.

 Pet Gear Home'N Go Soft-Sided Pet Crate Jun 06, 2007
By Sheltie Lover
I ordered this product because it was advertised as light-weight and easy to assemble. The photo looked as if the dog inside would have good visibility to the outside.
The crate is not easy to assemble and requires strength. While not terribly heavy (22 lbs), it is heavy given the bulkiness of the crate. The weight makes assembly harder. The netting is so dark in color that there is not good visibility for the animal inside; instead it is kind of claustrophobic. I returned the crate.

Good crate for well-mannered dogs Apr 24, 2007

I have two fairly large dogs: 70 and 80 pounds. I also have a minivan in which I transport them. I currently have two of the Large size (Green) Home'N Go crates permanently set up in my van in place of the second row seats. I use the side van doors and leave the crate side access doors open full time. Both of my dogs are crate trained and do not chew or scratch at the crates. In the house, I use wire crates. I would recommend these crates for use in a vehicle as they do not scratch the interior. I am changing to the Medium size to allow the front seat passengers more leg room. I have found that the dogs do not really need the Large size, even when traveling for hours.
One weakness of the soft crates is that there is no place to hang water buckets or food bowls. This would be a nice addition.

Excellent crate! Feb 25, 2006
By Snowy Lau
Easy to assemble and this crate is a perfect replacment home for any pets on the go.
The only problem is that you can't hold a fan on the side like a medal crate.
