Convenient and Durable: MidWest 🐾 Homes for Pets Skudo Plastic Carrier Review

My dog loves this cage! She is a savior, she is only 10 months old and apparently afraid of separation. It has to be packed when we leave the house. She only weighs 16 pounds but is 22 inches tall! I wanted a large yet compact box and this one seems perfect for her! I had a smaller cage but she couldn't stand up all the way in the other one. This gives her enough freedom of movement when she needs it. I like plastic boxes better than wire boxes. I have a feeling they are safer.

I bought this because Midwest is the company I always trust for my dogs. This box does not live up to their usual standards. Several clips securing the top and bottom of the box broke during assembly; The plastic clips securing the door bent and broke, and the plastic securing the wheels to the underbody broke the first time I rolled across the parking lot on my way to the dog show. I've owned this box for 3 days and it's already been thrown away.

I bought one of these 3 years ago from the Pet Food Express dealer - and it was $30 less; fully assembled with castors, drawer cushion and handle. It's durable and we love it. I ordered this one online; and was disappointed in the missing parts; the design is also slightly different; Door latch doesn't look secure. Also, I had to order and pay for the wheels and drawer pad separately from another supplier. I called Skudo customer support and was asked to send a photo of the receipt and email…

We bought the kennel on sale for an open box so I'm not sure if it's fair but I've given it three stars for durability given as it arrived damaged and may be missing details that were not in the description. The damage did not affect the work so we did not attempt to return the goods. It seemed to lack detail as there are holes for extra screws to hold it together if the plastic clips fail. I wouldn't ship a kennel without screws as the four side clips holding it together don't seem strong…
