Update: We traveled quite a bit this holiday season and this portable crate was absolutely awesome! I have seen some reviews about bad zippers but suspect it's due to misuse. You have to raise each side before zipping it -- just common sense, people. Otherwise, there is too much pressure on the zipper. I think zippers on this crate are sturdy. Another suggestion is placing your dog's favorite bed inside. The crate (we have extra large) has plenty of room to add an extra large fluffy dog bed our dog loves. Because the crate folds flat, we place the crate in the cargo area and cover it with dog's bed when on the road. The dog sprawls like a queen! :) When we get to the destination, we unfold the crate, throw the bed inside, and voila -- cozy house that feels and smells like home. For added warmth, pull down flaps.
The pet home folds and unfolds in a few seconds. When folded, it looks like a large but very thin portfolio, so can be transported in any car, even a small passenger car. The folded frame is fairly sturdy so it's unlikely to collapse, unless the dog goes totally crazy in it. It's a heavy fabric but, of course, won't work for any dogs who usually chew on/rip the bedding. Not a problem for us. Our dog is approximately 90 lbs and the pet home is large enough for her to be very comfortable. If you have a large well-behaved dog, it's an awesome investment we strongly recommended.

A steal for the price!
I am currently handraising a 3 week old single kitten and I cannot say enough how perfect this tiny little home was for him. The structure is sturdy when assembled and the option of being able to open and close the windows and door to the home comes in handy. Very light weight and when folded the home can fit inside my purse for easy travel. Not to mention, the kitten loves being inside his home.

My pups safe haven!!
Style: LargeVerified Purchase
Fast delivery!!! Very easy to assemble, just pops up! It comes with a very new plastic smell so I let it air out for a few days before letting my puppy use it. I was worried my pup would claw holes or bite through the material however it is very strong and sturdy. My pup loves his crate and feels very safe in it, he even puts himself to bed now after 3 days of having it. He panicked a bit when I first zipped it up but after kicking a fuss over it (and I didn't give in) on the first night, it now doesn't bother him. I strongly suggest zipping it up when they take a nap during the day when you are still home so they don't associate the zip only being used when you are absent or at night. Plenty of room for my springer spaniel to grow into.GemdanceMy pups safe haven!!
