Review: Indescribable. - I don't write reviews often, but my wife and I agreed that we needed to share about this kennel. We rescued a Great Dane and Labrador mix a year ago and it has been extremely difficult. Like a similar reviewer, he has extreme separation anxiety, and he seemed to have had a severely traumatizing experience with traditional wire crates when he was young. we were told that he was crate trained, but after the first few weeks, he began to have some scary episodes. He would chew on the bars of the cage, causing saliva to pool on the floor under the crate and creating a dangerous hydration situation for himself (my wife and I are teachers) while we were gone. He did this so much that the bars rusted and were no longer as effective. He started breaking out when we were gone, forcing us to try many ways of keeping him in like zip ties and carabiners. When he got out he was extremely destructive and, in several occasions, would get into dangerous things like medicine (which one time landed him in detox at the vet for three days). After a while, we gave up on the crate entirely, but he was still very destructive. He ate our wedding album, all remote controls, including an Xbox controller, and pretty much anything we left out ever. It was never fun coming home. We were so frustrated, and we just about gave up on our beloved pup. We thought we might look into crates again after summer and found this kennel. Is it expensive? Absolutely. As teachers, we saw this as a huge leap of faith money-wise. In the week we have had this, we have seen DRAMATIC change in behavior while we are away. It's so nice not having to worry about the mess he may have made while we are away or cleaning it up when we get home. He also seems much happier when we come home. He used to bark and howl when we got home. Now, he sits and waits for us to open the door. No more drool pools!! Even when we are home, he will walk in and lay down in the box. That is something that never happened before with the wire cage. If you are planning on purchasing this kennel, it is important that you make is "cave" a positive place. Our dog gets fed in his crate, any time he goes in the crate he gets a treat, his favorite toys are in the crate, we have put our clothing in the crate, and we have even spent time laying in the crate with him (this should also give you an idea of just how big this box is). Make it a happy place. They will want to spend time there if they know that there's something good coming out of it. UPDATE: 1/28/2015 Unfortunately, we have had to return our crate. We bought it during winter break, knowing we would have time to make it a positive place, and that his first few stays would be short. When we returned to school (we are both teachers), he became so stressed about going in that he would not even lick the peanut butter out of his kong the entire day. Instead, he began chewing on the metal bars on the door. After about 10 days of crating and chewing, he broke the soldering on one of the bars on the door and cut up his nose and gums. Mostly, our issue is the dog. He is a rescue who was abandoned as a puppy, so he has extreme separation anxiety. However, I do believe that the soldering on this box is the main issue here. If you notice that the dog has started bending the bars, act fast.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, can you please tell me how much this kennel weighs?**
A: We have the Giant Kennel (65+ lb dog). The Giant Kennel weighs approximately 40 lbs and takes up a bunch of space but if you need a kennel for a larger dog, this works really well and holds up great.

**Q: Are the 4 bolts enough for flying my pets on a plane?**
A: It actually comes with way more than 4 bolts. I have used this kennel 3 times to fly a dog with no problems!

**Q: Are the fasteners plastic or metal?  The airline we're using requires all metal fasteners.**
A: They are metal bolts but the nuts were plastic so I just bought some that were all metal.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008AJYMJI/ref=pd_aw_sim_199_3?refRID=1PZW70GMJN487CS85FXF

**Q: Is it sturdy?  I have a do who is an escape artist and breaks out of wire crates.**
A: The size I bought is slightly smaller than the 36" and I have Tibetan Spaniels. They haven't been aggressive with it, so it's been fine for them. Vari-Kennels were always good for my German Shepherds. If you have only used wire crates, you may find that the more enclosed  plastic crate have a more calming den-like quality that helps settle your dog. Suggestion: when you get the plastic crate, leave the door open for a day or two and throw in a favorite treat a few times a day to make your dog more comfortable with being in it before being locked in it.
