About this product
The Amazon Basics 4-Door Folding Pet Travel Kennel offers a convenient solution for transporting your smaller furry friends on adventures or simply around the house. This medium-sized kennel is designed to provide a safe and comfortable space for cats, dogs, rabbits, and other small animals, and boasts a practical pop-up design that can be quickly set up and folded down in seconds – no tools are needed! Its robust construction ensures durability during travel, while its water-resistant base adds an extra layer of protection against spills and damp conditions.
This folding pet crate features four doors offering flexible access from any side, which is particularly useful when you need to get close to your animal companion. The zippered doors with clip locks provide added security, keeping your pet safely contained. Included straps allow you to roll up and secure the fabric doors when the kennel is open, making it easy to manage while travelling. A removable fleece bed pad adds a touch of comfort for your pet.
Transporting your pet has never been easier thanks to the integrated carrying handle and padded shoulder strap. This allows for comfortable transport when the kennel is folded flat for storage or travel. The dimensions – 76 cm x 54 cm x 54 cm – are suitable for a range of small animals, providing ample space for them to move around comfortably.
Please note that due to the soft-sided design, determined escape artists might require additional supervision when the kennel is open. Consider this when assessing whether it’s the right choice for your pet's personality and habits.
