Travel crate,
May 14, 2013
By: Hollydolly
from Cumbria England
"So easy to put up and then collapse down. We do not have to fight with a metal ridged cage any more in the motor home and that is excellent. We love them and feel they were dearer than others on the market but worth everything we paid. We have not used them with the three working cockerspaniels yet but we are of the mind set that they will be fine. Thank you again. Excellent quality as we have come to expect from Orvis."

Have crate, will travel,
April 22, 2013
By: Lunar12
from Dundee
"This soft crate is a joy to have, It's light, so easily moved around the house and it fits into the boot of the car without having to hassle with the interior fittings.
It looks smart and comfortable for the dog with its mesh panels and opening roof and sides.
My dog seems to love it; there are no problems getting him in.
I can manage the crate on my own so no problems for me either.

Lightweight, easy to use,
April 16, 2013
By: pattypuppyraiser
from San Diego, CA
"Bought 2 to start traveling with 2 crate trained 60-lb labs. Probably should have bought a size larger, but these will do. Handy handle, lightweight, easy to put up/down. The dogs love them! Every so slight sticking with zipper and available other places for less, so I gave it 4 stars, but overall a good purchase. Attractive color."

Even better than expected,
March 30, 2013
By: Njshell
"This crate is easy to assemble and made really well. I plan to keep it my car most of the time. My bichon is not well behaved in the car, but he seems to like being in this crate for short trips to groomer, vet, etc."

"We are pleased with the crate. It easily folds and we can move it to other places of need. It is not for a non-trained dog or one that might chew."

"I purchased this item for my mini daxie to use as a travel crate when we go on holiday but she loves it so much she sleeps in our bedroom in it at night. Fantastic item well made and sturdy without being too cumbersome. I thought it was a bit pricey at first but I can't put a price on my daxies comfort."

Didn't work out - Disappointed,
March 18, 2013
By: dogloverinNJ
"I bought this crate to travel in the car with my Australian Sheppard puppy, who is currently 20 lbs, and also for sleepovers when we visit relatives. The crate is made of high quality and durable material however I can only use it while she is supervised. I cannot leave her in this crate alone because she paws at the screen windows and she can almost tip it over because it is very light. She also throws her body weight against the sides and door. She is a very well behaved puppy but she wants to be with puppy and not in the crate and she will do anything to get out. She does not act this way at all in her metal crate.
I have a Toyota Highlander and unfortunately this crate is very tall, even with the seats down and upright. I cannot see out my rearview window it is so tall.
So for now I have the crate in my tv room in case she needs a time out. I will never leave her alone or unsupervised in this crate for her safety and it does not fit in my SUV as it is so big.
Orvis makes great products but this simply did not work out for my needs."

This is by far the best kennel for many reasons,
March 11, 2013
By: ILOVELUCY
from Thompson, CT
"We recently received a lab puppy, after having to put our lab to sleep at age 14 due to cancer.
Our new pup, Lucy, is a joy.
The first three trips to the vet were a disaster, she was VERY car sick
Besides, I had no idea how I was going to rein her in while in the vehicle. I don't remember what brought me to your site, but I am greatful. The pack came on time, and this crate is so simple to put "up", like a pop-up tent, however, every strong. She loves it, I think because of the windows make it less scarey.
My son in in the hospital out of state, this crate made bringing "his" dog to see him a joy. I know it made him feel better for sure. I would recommend this crate to anyone.
I LOVE IT and am so glad to be acquainted now with ORVIS!

Perfect for a Defender,
March 7, 2013
By: brightmount
from Kent
"I bought this soft crate rather than a dog guard for my Land Rover Defender SWB (4-seater) as I didn't want to cage off the rear seat passengers with a permanent fixture. It's a perfect fit in the back with the rear seats up. It's also easy enough to collapse down if I needed to use the rear seats and hadn't taken the crate out. Good sturdy quality. My dog is blind, but the top also zips open to prevent claustrophobia if the dog isn't the jumping-out kind."

"This is the first time we've used a travel crate with our dog, and she's adjusted really well. It's easy to put together and collapes easily, so we store it in our trunk. It was a great buy!"

Great crate.,
January 16, 2013
By: CELC
from Massachusetts
"This lightweight crate is like a tent for my dog. I can easily lift it into the car and out again for him to use for sleeping. The zipper on the long side is great for getting the dog into the cargo area of the car. I couldn't do that with my old metal crate. It folds up easily and I like the green and black color combination. So far the puppy has not tried to chew it. Hoping that continues."

"Great design and perfect size for a shelter loving spaniel. With Dexter in side, Grammy gets a full night sleep and a happy dog in the morning!!! Study, easy to erect and light to move. Thus far, durability is equal to the task."

Awesome Product,
December 26, 2012
By: KendallsMom
"We bought this soft crate for our older dog because she was envious of the younger dog's crate. Now both dogs want to get in the soft crate! The quality of this product is outstanding! This crate is nice looking and the beautiful green color blends in perfectly with our bedroom decor. The crate is very sturdy and easy to use. Both of my dogs just love it."
