Why we picked it
Solid walls change how a dog settles. Where a wire crate is open on all sides, the Pet Porter blocks most of the view, so a dog that reacts to every movement in the room has less to watch. The plastic shell wipes clean, the door latches, and the shape is the one airlines have used for decades, which is why many people also use it as the car crate.
We picked it for puppies and small dogs that relax with less visual input, and for car training. Petmate states it is made in the USA on the listing.
The honest catch: it is heavier than a wire crate of the same size, airflow is lower than open mesh, and you cannot add a divider. The 24-inch size is for small pets; check the weight guidance before ordering for a growing puppy.
