    Received the carrier and was momentarily “dismayed” at the inadequate assembly directions.But in a short time,I figured out the sequence and found it quite easy to put together.The carrier itself works great.Haven’t had to use the top door yet as my cat loves her “house” and moves in and out of the front door. This model has all the room needed for a comfortable stay while on the road for many hours.

    Lady at the local pet shop recommended this for our 11-lb cats, who are very fluffy and take up a lot of space. I bought it because I needed to get one to the vet today.

    Picked it up by the handle, walked outside, wham! The handle broke off, and the carrier containing my already-stressed cat fell down and bounced on the driveway.

    I’m taking it back tomorrow and making certain to buy a different brand.

    We tried out a pet taxi and decided to take it back, since it just didn’t feel sturdy. The plastic felt really thin and then clips were a bugger to open and close. Plus it just didn’t seem like it was last for the life of our puppy. So we went looking again and found the Aran 3 and love it. It feels really sturdy, the latches are easy to open and close and feel secure, the plastic feels thicker and the doors stays nice and open. Overall it just feels like a better built product. Some people talk about the handle not staying on though I’m curious if they’re installing it properly. I will admit the directions aren’t 100% clear on how to put this thing together. Though a little trial and error and you’ll figure it out.

    The key with the handle is to push the handle clips through the small square grate holes in the middle. It’s hard, but they’ll fit. And also make sure that the side of the handle clips with the lip are facing each other. These give the handle something to latch onto.

    I’m very disappointed with this carrier. I can not use it for our 14 lb cat because the top door pops open when lifted by the handle. Then when you want to open the top door, you can’t because of the poor design of the catches. The top metal wires are all bent up from trying to pop the top open. Seemed like a good design, but I’m sorry I bought it.

    I was a bit worried buying this for my shih tzu as this crate is advertised as a cat carrier and the other reviews talk only about cats, but I’m really glad I bought this for my dog. My shih tzu is 15 lbs, and 14.5″ in length from the neck to the base of the tail (he’s probably about 20″ long including his head). He fits in this crate with room to spare! He can stand up without touching the top of the crate, turn around, and lay down however he wishes.

    He absolutely loves using this carrier as his little den inside our home where he’s safe from being bothered by the children. The many slits and double doors provide ample ventilation so I know he’s getting plenty of fresh air and sunlight in there.

    I don’t use the double doors as much anymore now that he’s an adult and walks into the carrier as he wishes, but when he was a puppy it was very useful putting him in the carrier without him being able to escape. Now I have taken the front door off so he can walk in and out all the time.
