Noz2Noz Soft-Krater Indoor and Outdoor Crate for Pets, 26-Inch

Easy to put up and take down. Cover comes off completely, so you can wipe it clean. Great access to 3 sides.

Expensive but very good

My puppy loves it but there are no straps that make it easy to carry.

This may be the best purchase I've made for a dog product. I have a 2 year old 80 pound golden retriever/lab mix and purchased the largest size in this. She is crate trained and used to sleeping in an XL size wire crate every night. When we found out we were moving across the country, I immediately started worrying about how we would manage her for 5 days on the road. Having her loose and climbing all over our 3 kids wouldn't do. We thought about putting the wire crate in the van, but it is heavy and awkward and we wouldn't be able to easily move in into the hotel rooms with us. So I found this. I was impressed with the quality. It actually feels pretty sturdy and the canvas is strong. It sets up and folds down in less than 2 minutes and is light and easy to carry. There was no odor associated with it when we opened it. I set it up in the living room and put some treats in and had her go in. I closed her in for a couple of minutes, then let her out and gave her another treat. I put treats in the first time I took her on a test drive and she did great. We have a Toyota Sienna mini van and this fit well with the rear seats folded down. We turned it long ways (so the front entryway faced the rear) and we still had room for two large suitcases and several smaller bags on the other side. My dog had plenty of room in the crate. We also put her memory foam bed from her wire crate into this one for the trip and she still had plenty of roof clearance. I love that there are 3 different access doors. This actually worked well for us as I can't leave her harness on her in the car or she will chew through it. I was nervous about opening the front door and having her bolt, so I opened the top and put her harness on that way before letting her out the front. It never occurred to her to jump out the top. I also put her food and water through the top a couple of times on the road. When we got to our hotels we were able to easily break this down and carry it in and set it up again. Then she felt safe and secure in a strange place. (The first night we left it in the van and she lay at the door and barked every time someone walked down the hall- we went and got the crate, put it in a far corner, and she went right to sleep). One word of caution: be sure the zippers are completely closed. There is a little latch and hook for further security on each door. My husband didn't use the latch and left the zippers on the bottom part of the door and she was able to nose her way out. This only happened once and we were more careful after that. She loves her crate and rode very peacefully for 5 days.

Me gustó mucho, los materiales son muy buenos, el tamaño está perfecto, es muy grande. Solo que no la recomiendo para perros jóvenes, porque la van a romper como mi perra.

Edited to add 7 years later: Ive had 2 of these crates since 2014 and they’ve been used every single day. They remain in near perfect original condition! Dogs have pawed at the screen, had accidents in them, we’ve travelled with them, I’ve taken the cover off and washed it, it set back up again perfectly. It’s an excellent crate and very well made. :) This is a wonderful crate. It's much more aesthetically pleasing than a big wire crate with a blanket over it. Set-up was easy, it snapped into place in seconds and it can be folded down for transport in a flash. It even has a handle on it so it carries like a large briefcase, but it weighs next to nothing! This is the perfect size for a standard dachshund- even the height does not seem *ridiculously* tall for them, and I can reach in and out to fix their bedding easily enough. There have been a few comments of poor materials, but I find both of the crates I ordered to be well made. The aluminum(?) frame is light but sturdy, the fabric and mesh looks to be of good quality. No problems with zippers, everything works very well. There is even a clasp to secure the zipper pulls at the top once the door is zipped closed so that it cannot be pawed or pushed open. I can see if you have puppy or a destructive dog that this crate would not be a good idea. But that's not the crates fault, it is not meant to be chew proof. Owners just need to use their discretion. ….my update 7 years later shows it’s durable! Things I love about this crate: Colour, design Materials - you don't need a bumper bed (to block limbs from falling out between wire bars) as they can lay up against the fabic and not be uncomfortable, unlike in wire crates. Light weight, very easy to set up and fold down Looks good, dogs like it :) Only 1 con - Upon first opening and setting up this crate there is a bit of a plastic/chemical smell. I let it air out for a few days and now it is barely noticeable, unless you go right up and sniff the material. I am sure this will continue to dissipate more (it did) and more over time. I'm not concerned about it.

Well made product and perfect for the needs of myself and my 5 lb chihuahua. Because of my previous disappointing experience purchasing a size L in a different brand I was hesitant about sizing, but did purchase a size L. If necessary, it could also accommodate my second small dog with room to spare. Being collapsible is an added bonus..

I purchased this crate and initially thought it was great. It seems very well built and it set up in just a moment. However, my dog chewed through it and escaped the FIRST time I left him in it. The only time my dog ever chews is when I leave him so I guess I should have known. So buyer beware, if your dog chews, opt for a metal crate.
