Petmate Ultra Vari Kennel, For Pets up to 15 Pounds, Bleached Linen

At last...A truly "Airline Approved" kennel.
If you are taking your pet on an airline, this is the only pet crate we could find that was truly "Airline Approved".

Most airlines require a plastic kennel that's bolted together with plastic or metal treaded screws (knob, clamp and clamshell locks are strictly forbidden on almost every airline), not top loading, allow for at least 1.5" of clearance from the sides on all sides, and vented on four sides.

This crate met all but one. The back of the carrier is not vented, but we solved that problem with a power drill and a 1/2" bit. 27 holes later and you have a truly airline approved pet crate.

BOTTOM LINE: IF YOU'RE PUTTING FLUFFY OR FIDO ON AN AIRPLANE, BUY THIS KENNEL!
product description wrong
I got this kennel beacause on the product description says that this kennel has rear vents that it is require by the airline I'm using to transport my dog but when I got the kennel delivery to my home I got with the surprise that it didn't have any rear vents like it says on the product description, of course I'm not very happy because this is a product that you buy according to the airline regulations and expend a lot of time looking for the one to fit with all these airline regulations that this product claim to have like the rear vents but it didn't,and now I don't have time to send it back and wait for amazon to send me another one with the rear vents like it says on their product description because I have to travel in a few days only.
I have order other products with amazon and i have always been very satisfied with their productcs and their service but this was my most important purchase because of all these airlines regulations and the lock of time and I couldn't believe...
Escape artist proof (in our home)
My seven year old lab has escaped from metal dog boxes and pretty much anything we have put him in for any length of time. This crate is the only crate he has not been able to escape from because of the twist lock on the door. I have used this crate with him for 6 years. I also use it for my three other dogs. In my opinion, the crate is the best there is!
