This crate is MUCH lighter than a tradition metal or metal/plastic. It is not your “everyday” crate (dogs wear things out and occasionally get sick and need their kennel hosed out and sanitized) but great for traveling. DO NOT use this as your first crate that you pet is introduced to. They will be freaked out and will try clawing out and will tear it. Use this ONLY with a trained, adult, dog for travel. We used these for two crate trained dogs and I still spent the first hour calmly saying “no” each time one (who had never been in a soft-side) tried to claw at the door. (Even then, the door is not ripped through.) So, consider your application. These are not nearly as secure as a metal crate but super convenient to fold down and carry with you into a hotel. :)

Soft and safe crate. It has a padded, washable cushion. I love that the sides roll up so our puppy can walk in and out to get used to being in it.

My puppy chewed through this in one week. Came home and found her stuck.

My now husband and I bought this kennel a couple days ago for my dog who’s good in the kennel and we’re using it for traveling for the Airbnb. To say the quality is poor is an understatement. My dog pawed at it once, and the holes began. We have to keep the side that’s torn towards the floor until we can get another one. Waaaay overpriced for the quality. Happy Honeymoon to us🙄
