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.

    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.

    Dog size: 60 lb boxer, 22" shoulder to tail. This is absolutely adorable & my dog LOVES it. Soon as I had it set-up, my dog trotted right on inside & sprawled-out. I think it might even be possible to fit 2 dogs her size in this carrier. I do wonder if the large would have been sufficient, but didn't want to err on the side of it being too small as that would have been more problematic than too large. I agree with the other reviewers who said that initially it does need to be aired-out. Even so, that didn't stop my dog from curling up in it whenever she had the chance. The carrying case is a bonus & because the carrier is so light-weight, it was very easy to carry. Because this is a soft-shell carrier, I don't think it would do well at containing a dog that is an escape artist or a digger. That being said, the fabric isn't a thin, flimsy fabric, but rather is a durable material. The material actually reminds me of the covers I use to cover my patio furniture in the winter. Lastly, pay close attention to the dimensions of this carrier! Due to the rounded-top, this was actually a little taller than my dog's 42" metal crate. This extra-large carrier is VERY roomy.

    We are the proud owners of a new 1 1/2 year old Scottie, and of course had to get all the necessities including a dog "Cage". After looking at the traditional metal cages, I just happened to come across this wonderful product. It is extremely well engineered and made, and takes into account many thoughtful design ideas geared towards pet owners; here are a few:

    1) This Pet Home can be used indoors and out ! It comes with yellow plastic tent stakes to help secure it outdoors.

    2) This is both a "Home" home and a Travel Home as it easily collapses (2 zippers) flat, and comes with a black travel case. When packed, it's probably 1 1/2 inches thick, just stash it in the trunk of your can and Go !

    3) The cushioned "Floor" is just fine, no need to buy an additional pad. The white thick cover is removable for easy cleaning.

    4) The sides have easy to use window "Shades" held in place by velcro. Open for sight and ventilation, closed for darkening the Home.

    5) As the sides of the Home are soft, our dog snuggles without any discomfort of a hard surface.

    We've been using it now for 3 weeks, and it seems to be well made and durable. Highly Recommend this product, and I see no advantage to a metal cage when this serves multiple purposes !

    We have 2 dachshunds (one 15lbs and one 20lbs) and I purchased a Petmate Portable Pet Home (Medium) for each of them. If you have a dachshund a bit smaller, say 12lbs or less, (my guys are larger than most miniatures), the small Pet Home size would be a better choice, if you are looking for something more snug. I had the same kennel in the past for one of our other dachshunds that passed away, and did not hesitate to buy from Petmate again. The one we had held up beautifully for many years. The quality is excellent for the purpose of this lightweight portable kennel. Keep in mind, it is made of mesh (thicker good quality mesh, but still mesh), canvas and zippers so if you have a pet that is an aggressive chewer and/or escape artist, any lightweight kennel of this type is not going to stand up to heavy abuse for long. These kennels are easy to set up, and when packed are easy to carry and store, they remind me of an artist’s portfolio. My dogs have metal wire kennels as their permanent beds, and though the metal ones fold, they are heavy and cumbersome to move, so we needed an alternative for when we travel or for spending the day at the office. I highly recommend the Petmate Portable Pet Home, if you have a similar need to ours.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My pups safe haven!!
    Reviewed in Canada on June 11, 2015
    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.

    Reviewed in Canada on September 13, 2014
    Style: MediumVerified Purchase
    This is a fine pet house. The thing is, my husband and I bought this pet house for our older male Cat as a carrier to take him to the vet. He had clearly outgrown our previous carrier and seeing how much of a fuss he makes when going to the vet (i.e.:does everything from splits to spreading all limbs to avoid getting in the carrier) we figured with the size of this pet house, we should manage to get him in there... and it worked! However this is not really a carrier, it is really a tent for animals, so it is not the most sturdy and stable structure... I just wished they made some nice large size carriers in softer material- i do not like the big metal contraptions- I feel like I am putting my cat in a sort of prison cell... so not good. Overall it does the job and it is pretty to look at.
