Review on Versatile X-ZONE PET 3-Door Folding Soft Dog Crate: Ideal Indoor & Outdoor Pet Home with Multiple Sizes and Attractive Colors by Adina Jordan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great as intended

We've renamed this X-Zone 3-door padded foldable pet carrier to the Cat RV. I bought this dog carrier but my 12 year old cat loves it. She hates the hard stretcher and immediately starts crying. This stretcher was soft and she didn't cry or struggle with it. She's a cat, so she has the right to change her mind later. So far she loves it. As a service person for this descendant of an old line of cats, this is one of the few Revain products that I would buy again and recommend to friends and family. Please read other reviews to see what could go wrong with this product. Despite the high quality, an aggressive impact on the fabric can quickly destroy it. My cats have sharp claws and can damage the fabric grid. Two converging zippers can be pulled apart. My cats and Vesti mixed breed dog are not carrier aggressive - we stopped this behavior early on - but in an unfamiliar environment they will be able to break out of the carrier. As for my situation - this carrier is excellent. Here's what I like: 1) The weight is about the same as my hard top, but it's heavier. My 15kg cat can stand in it. I recommend using a larger carrier rather than a smaller one. It costs money. 2) Good ventilation through mesh windows on all sides. The cat feels protected but can see at the same time - this is very important for cats. 3) The faux fur bottom is very soft and durable. My pets love soft things to lie on. 4) Additional external pockets for things like treats, food and more. 5) Upper door. I needed this feature for my three legged cat who gets all claws trying to put them in a carrier. I've been using a Top Door Carrier for years and have found it protects my skin from scratches. When legs go first, their instinct is to put their paws down. Oh yeah! Paws down is great. When they claw the wearer, it's a real lifesaver for the skin, and I know how to quickly open their claws and claw-feed the wearer, letting instinct take over. Don't mess with the flash. Just close and you're done. The flash was great. 6) The front door is roomy and folds up and then secures with built-in Velcro. 7) Edges and corners are safely reinforced. 8) An interesting design feature prevents the carrier from collapsing. 9) The padded side pet carrier bag folds down to about 2 or 3 inches and has latches to keep it secure for carrying or storage. 10) I don't think this carrier is good for pets on airplanes as cargo, but it can be placed in a larger rigid carrier for a smoother ride or kept in your luggage to use when you arrive at your destination. It is great for traveling by car, van, truck, van etc as it can be folded when you don't need it. I'm glad I bought the larger size. Thank you to everyone who has written a review about this product, even negative ones, because the buyer who buys and gets what is expected of them becomes a happier buyer. I always know that a company values a customer when a salesperson includes a note stating that they value you as a customer. They don't have to be polite, but when they do, they send a signal that they care about their product. It's a cloth canvas and mesh screen, so it can get dirty and wet. For my situation, this is not a minus, but should be taken into account if pets soil the stretcher. I hope you find real life photos and videos useful.
