Petmate Portable Pet Home, Medium

Larger version of our mini carrier. Folds flat when stored.

I had discovered these fantastic pet carriers 12 years ago. I keep buying for friends as gifts or as charity for local shelters. Screens on all sides, smartly engineered and utilized also as a “bedroom”. Petmate carriers are spacious (size appropriate) tall ceiling vs those awful plastic pack a cat in (shameful) Petmate has all sides windows, velcro, front door is a zipper screen window and additional door zipper to completely open the entire carrier—front n back. Terrific access to pet. No dragging them across the carrier. High quality material, durable, the skeleton is strong, canvas great, wipes clean and hasn’t faded after 12 years. The side screens and BACK screen is brilliant for airflow during our drives to avoid car sickness. It’s really helped my kids with more airflow. Faux wool matt. I reinforce the bottom for more stability. Why? My fur kids have arthritis. When I place the carrier without a solid board on the bottom, naturally will “curve” to the inclined car seat which is an undesired effect for arthritic pets. Best to keep a small wood board, add in an inch thick pad from any fabric store cover it with material such as a pillow case, Now you have a stable bottom that’s soft and comfortable. Car rides are challenging. I eliminate any stress on their little bodies as much as I can. I enjoy the 4-corner tabs with the stakes for outdoors always placing carrier on a plastic bag first avoiding dirt and ground condensation. It’s my mission that all pet parents throw out those cage hard plastic crates that are claustrophobic for any animal to be in. There is no room for them to move around or lift their heads. With Petmate, my fur kids have plenty of room to re-position. Hope you find this helpful. PS. I use vinegar to spot clean to avoid creating any toxic vapors. After an hour, the vinegar smell goes away. I also use a fan when drying.

Perfect size, but overpriced in my opinion. I could have gotten cheaper on ebay but I needed several more items to go with item I had to purchase, in order to get free shipping.

I am ordering my fourth kennel. Just love them. Keep one at home, office, vacation home.

I have bought 4 in the last ten years. Absolutely love it for the car easy to secure to seatbelt as well as Home. They run right in ! I wouldn’t buy any other kinds.
