🐾 Petmate Ultra Vari Kennel: Premium Carrier for Small Pets up to 15 lbs in Bleached Linen Review

I've had one of these for over 8 years, I still use it and I need a second one. Ordered from Revain Warehouse Deals, it came with a hole through the bottom of the back of the box. The part that broke off the box was placed in a ziplock bag. As I use these boxes in my car to keep my dogs safe when traveling I'm curious what happened to the hole in this box. Was there an unusual situation with this particular box I received? If I order another one, can I be sure the plastic is strong enough to…

Under no circumstances should you send your pet to any of these. We sent our cat to the Philippines on a 16 hour flight. We were on a flight. I was worried the whole flight as it was his first trip. We entered baggage claim and were told we needed to speak to the monitor. My heart sank. We got to the supervisor who told us that the stretcher had fallen apart and our cat spent the entire flight with the luggage. He was fine. I don't even know how he survived in the low oxygen levels and colder…

My heart sank when I saw the color I was afraid of after another reviewer commented that the color didn't match the picture. The main reason I ordered this was the clean, fresh look of bleached linen. The manufacturer must provide a recent photo of the actual device and name it Taupe or Dark Beige. I knew from the reviews that I would have to drill holes in the back, which was not true despite the 360 degree airing advert; The back is made of hard plastic with no ventilation, which may be…

I love this box for travel. Friendly TSA. As this is a small size, once you have it, take a drill and drill a hole pattern into the back to make it TSA compliant. Larger sizes already have hole relief. I'm pretty sure it's a manufacturing defect they don't add to the holes (in the little box) and I can see why. But it's really easy to fix if you want to use it for air travel. Also, this is my second as I still have my first which is about 9 years old and the crate is still sturdy which means…

This is a very good box made from hard plastic and easy to assemble/disassemble. The top handle is also solid. The only complaint I have is that the small drawer didn't have air holes in the back (when it says it has 4-way ventilation). The airline was very insistent on four-sided vents, so I had to drill holes in them myself. I flew a Continental and they were fine with 4 quarter size holes. If you are considering using this for animal flights I suggest you contact your airline to see if three

I have already built three of these nurseries 8-20 years ago, all of the same model. The oldest are the most durable, but the later models were still fairly durable. But this new one is complete bullshit. First, it doesn't match the product image at all. It's dingy gray with black painted grilles and ugly as hell. Second, I can bend the plastic with one finger, it's so thin that window screens and doors are less secure. Even the door locking mechanism is weaker. Finally, and most…

I am an experienced groomer with more than 40 years of experience. I have exhibited and groomed all dog breeds for shows and for pet owners. I have been using Vari Kennels (now favorite partners) kennels since the late 1970's. This box is known as size 100. Good to use for your toy breed cat or dog during short trips to shows and vet clinics. I bought this cage specifically for our new kitten who needs the cage for trips to the vet, mainly for an upcoming spay/neuter. I'll be surprised if there
