3 out of 5 stars Vari Kennel Ultra   March 5, 2010
C. Foster (San Diego, CA)
I love the Petmate Kennels. We are hobby breeders and our dogs are trained to sleep in them at night. Overall the Vari Kennel Ultra gets a thumbs up. It's well built and a good value for the price. My one complaint is that they have a couple of bumps molded into the center of the bottom of the kennel. It is right in the area where the dog would sleep. When I received the first one, I thought perhaps it was a factory second. It almost looked like a molding for a handle which should not be on the bottom of the crate. I went to a neighborhood petmart where they had more of the kennels. Sure enough they had the same molding on the bottom center. The salesperson said that people just buy a cushion to cover it. That would be fine if I did not raise puppies. Till they are done teething they would probably eat a cushion a night! I called Petmate and mentioned it to them so I hope they took note of it. I think it saves them money to mold the top and bottom the same.


3 out of 5 stars Not stout enough for serious dogs!   November 22, 2009

I work in Alaska in the summer and winter in New Mexico, so have to fly back and forth twice a year. I have a 63 lb. sled dog that flies with me. If a large powerful dog like mine wants out, this kennel will not keep him from getting out, he has destroyed two doors and now the bottom half of the kennel. Unfortunately, neither will any of the other plastic airline kennels sufficiently contain this type of dog. I am looking into a foldable aluminum kennel from Kalispel.

If you have a normal dog, this kennel should be fine, and costs 6 times less than the Kalispel.

PS My kennel was the LARGE size.



5 out of 5 stars Great kennel, Great service from Revival   May 8, 2009

I ordered the Petmate Vari Kennel Deluxe fashion medium in blue/clay ($45.99) directly from Revival Animal Health and I'm thrilled with the product, service, and price. It came within 2 days of ordering via Fed-ex and their customer service is nice.

The kennel is study and made of heavy duty plastic. I like the wing nut fastners and sturdy, easy latch door. The color is a nice blue and it's not ugly or horribly plain like most kennels. My only complaint is the plastic handle on top of the carrier seems flimsy and I don't know how long it will last. The metal grate side vents are a little loose and slide back and forth (not a big problem). This should fit my adult Bichon Frise nicely with room to spare.

I also bought the 24"x18" Midwest fleece pad from Revival($10.49)and it fits the bottom of this kennel perfectly.

P.S. Shipping was cheaper with Revival directly ($8.99) than through Amazon and much faster (Fed-ex home).

My big kitty is very pleased with this big kennel. I can't say enough about it. It's worth every dime.
