Quick delivery. Recommend crate.
Another order that I received quickly. Chewy continues to exceed expectations on very quick deliveries. Crate is sturdy and I really like the dual access points. Included ‘puppy’ panel that let me reduce the area for my new puppy. It has done its job, so far no accidents in the crate. Highly recommend

Perfect for 2 cats!
I bought the crate to house 2 cats during travel. They liked the openness versus a cat carrier. They traveled well without taking medication.

Have 2 rescued French Bull Dogs
These two are mom and daughter, very bonded. Tried a smaller crate for each and they didn't like that. This size the can be together. They have to be so close together their whole body touching each other.

Very well made and easy to put up.
I read a lot of bad reviews about it being bent up or hard to put together. I'm glad I took a chance because it came to me in perfect condition. It is very sturdy and very well made. I did notice the mail person struggling to put it on my porch I believe this is why it comes damaged it is very heavy and hard for one person to try to deliver.

My Bruiser was to big for last crate now he looks so tiny in it but has so much room to stretch

Convenience
I love how easy it was to put this together at first I was confused and was totally over complicating but my partner and I were able to get together really quickly. It's is huge and spacious. I wish it was a tad bit shorter but it's one of the only cages this size for a reasonable price and it has two doors I love the option of being able to use the front and side door. Decided to attach water and food bowls on the side door so it's easy to change and refill. Great product and when it's time to take it apart I'm sure it will be a breeze.

LOVE BODHI'S AIRBNB!
Adopted my FIRST PUPPY EVER at 70! Wanted the best of everything for him. I was nervous, after reading the reviews, but ordered it anyway, because I love Frisco's other products I have for my cats. It came in perfect order, with simple clear-cut directions. I put it together, taking my sweet time, and BY MYSELF, in about 3 hours. Not a single problem. And - it's as lovely as it looks. My grown children joke that, of course, their pup-brother has the best home, and they call it his AIR BNB! It is nice looking and sturdy. It will outlast our needs, and the next puppy's who is lucky enough to inherit it.

Love my new house!
I'm a service dog (hearing) so I sleep with my door off. Not problem taking it off and my house is WONDERFUL!

Love this purchase
We purchased this crate for our Boston Terrier. She weighs around 16lbs. She loves it and is very comfortable in it. Easy to assemble and very nice quality. Great addition to our room.

Dog kennel and kennel cover.
I was amazed how quickly I received my boxes. The prices were very good and the $20 coupon was very helpful.
-
Works great.
Foldable aspect makes it convenient when traveling with my dog and works great because the dog can not easily open the hatch like on other crates.
-
Easy to set up and take down
Perfect size for our 30 lb dog. Best to put a few mats on top of the black plastic base to cozy it up. A blanket over the top and a perfect den is created.

How sturdy it is and easy to collapse and take with.
This is our second one we now have 2 dogs. We love how sturdy it is built and easy to collapse and take with.
-
Perfect Cave
I bought this as a hiding place for my dog whenever she's scared. She hates thunder and fireworks. I call it her cave and have it set up where she can see me when she's hiding in it. Works great.

Sturdy and soft edged crate for our blind dog
Our little dog went blind recently. We needed a safe place for her, similarly to a play pen ... just a place to put her while cooking and unable to watch her. This was perfect. Secure, each side is made of mesh and can be zipped open or shut. Same for the top. It's soft so she won't hurt herself. It was what we needed right now.
Best Collapsible Dog Crate
-
Convenient crate
Very easy to travel with as its not too heavy, folds and reassembles quickly and dogs love spaciousness. 1 side and 1 front door makes it so convenient in my suv.

-
Two doors
This is perfect for kennel training our Yorkie puppy. It has two openings which is great. I purchased the mat to go inside and it fits well and seems to be super comfy. Easy to assemble and take down.

What standard carriers should be
Great carrier, perfect size for rabbits and small dogs and cats. Fits one animal just right, 2 would be a bit snug. This carrier is sturdy and simple to put together, seems to be appropriate material, and I feel secure in carrying my pet. Just make sure you have the top latch secured if you ever open the top door. Wish more carriers weren't overpriced for the garbage flimsy material they're made of, and took notes from this brand. Carriers are supposed to keep your pets secure and safer.
-
Variety of choices and fast shipping
Purchased one from a store and found the carrier to be great quality. Ordering from Chewy is easy and convenient at a much better regular price. Very easy to assemble by myself.
-
Great Carrier- Nice Size for Big Cats
I have several big cats, and some do not like going in a carrier. The lift off top makes it easier than standing a front loader upright. Plus these are sturdy. And the hard plastic cleans well if there are accidents.
