Review on 🏠 Petmate Traditional Kennel: The Ultimate Pet Sanctuary for Your Furry Friends by Michelle Marie

I have a classic kennel that I bought from Petco for $55. I wanted a second training box and bought this because I thought it was comparable. It's not like this. The Petmate kennels are made of less durable plastic than the Classic kennels. You can feel the plastic curvature on the Petmate. The Classic Kennel has high quality screws that attach the top to the bottom; Petmate has cheap molded plastic clips. The door is ideal for a classic kennel; The door does not fit well on the Petmate and is difficult to close. Basically, it looks like Petmate used the cheapest materials to keep costs down. I would not transport an animal in it, although I will leave it in a cage for training. return too difficult. Update: 6/9/2009 After working at this nursery for about 1 week, I was able to close the door by following the reviewer's advice above. I cut a piece of plastic from the hole in the kennel. I also had to flip the door (open from right to left). However, the cheap plastic clips that hold the kennel together keep popping up.
