4pets ProLine Crash Tested Dog Crate with Aluminum Frame, Eagle Medium

Incredibly satisfied with this product. Well made and designed. Actually gave my dog more room inside while taking up less room in my car. I now have my back seat back in my Subaru Legacy!! Be ware there is a similar looking product for much less money available but the sides are made of plywood painted to look like aluminum. This is the real thing and especially if you travel a lot with your dog as I do, I would consider this a necessity.

I ordered this with high hopes, but it arrived broken as well. I will be returning and will order another one. Hopefully I will have better luck this time. I'll update after the new one arrives. Update- The crate itself seemed to be as advertised. Sturdy, safe, appropriate size for my 48lb mix. I never got the chance to put it together b/c it was broken so I'm adjusting to 3 stars b/c it seemed good. I had high hopes for the crate, but arriving broken just really turned me off on it and, fair or not, reflects in my feelings about the product. I found a similar crate of a different brand that also has an escape hatch and I ordered that. It did not arrive broken so I am not going back to the proline.

I received the first one as a gift and was very excited about the gift. I opened the box and to my surprise the a plastic joint was broken. I returned the product, which was easy and ordered the the larger Condor. Again it arrived broken in the same spot. I liked the idea of the crate but for $700 you would think the it could arrive in one piece. Clearly the packaging is wrong and/or their is a design flaw. I will not be trying for a 3rd time.

Keeping my dog safe in the car is very important! Excellent product!!
