Petmate Medium Wire Training Kennel Reviews

I've used Petmate Wire Training Kennels for about three years now.  I fostered for a local dog rescue for two years and then decided to start an animal rescue of my own about a year ago.  I've cared for well over 100 dogs and puppies and have relied on these dog crates to help me confine and housetrain them. — We have a couple of medium-sized crates that we use for both small to medium dogs and groups of puppies.  They are made of plastic-coated wire and have a strong plastic tray at the bottom.  The kennel door swings easily and has two latches that slip into place… read full review »

    We are soooo fortunate to have purchased this pet crate as opposed to others out there.  Ours has a nice black finish on the wire, looks dressy and goes with any environment.  The locking mechanism on the door is centered on the door, making it work right.  It doesn't go crooked, stress is evenly distributed.  We have owned this for 3 years and never had a problem.  Friends with  other crate brands experience difficulties with the lock, dogs can push up against the door and it warps easy, others don't have the nice bottom tray.  Some… read full review »

We've had this particular kennel for nearly ten years.  It's housed two liters of pups, helped us house train, served as the "recovery" kennel and even goes in the back of my blazer for visits to the vet. — When the dogs see the kennel come out, they are trying to get in before I'm through snapping it together.  They like it so much, even with the door wide open they stay in it.          — It's so easy to clean.  Just take it outside and hose it down and with the slide out tray in the… read full review »

Petmate saved my mate and I. Recently, we have been having issues with our little spoiled loved ones. A silky and a Min Doxie. We recently purchased the Petmate, in medium size. Soon as we put in a blanket and added a pillow for softness, our Doxie was the first to run in test the crate and go right to sleep ( favorite bear in tow) . Our Silky being as spoiled as she is, was a little less curious. But for thier first night, they slept peacefully and now are on the verge of finally being potty trained! or house trained ( Which ever) —  I reccommend the medium crate as the small… read full review »

   We live in an apartment and use this type of kennel for our bulldog (except a little larger) who is around 6 months old.  We received him when he was just 6 weeks old he took to the kennel very well except that he was slightly afraid of the dark.  And now that he's older and he's really tired (especially when we have people over) he goes to the kennel all on his own so no one will disturb him takes a power nap and comes back out to interact with the family.  So personally I think kennel training is great it gives him his little space when things get stressful… read full review »
