Super kennel, unfortunately very noisy
Our puppy took to his crate right from the start. Assembly is straightforward, and it's easy to transport. We placed a thick, soft mat under the kennel because it rattles quite a bit when our puppy moves around inside. Hence, one star deducted. Otherwise, top-notch!

Super, dogs feel comfortable...
I ordered the largest size for my Galgo-Lab-Shepherd mix, and it arrived after two days. Unfortunately, one plastic handle is missing, but that’s not really an issue. I, or rather my dogs, absolutely love the kennel and enjoy lounging in it. It’s sturdy and easy to set up. Great product.

Unfortunately, no replacement tub available!!
Overall, the box is good. Thanks to the plastic tray, the rattling in the car isn’t too loud. It’s just a shame that the tray can’t be bought separately – ours is broken, so we have to buy an entirely new cage again!

Mesh box
This box is also suitable as a quarantine box, as my tomcat wasn’t allowed to move around much for a while (due to an accident). I set up the box for him, and I’m very happy with it. Even now that he’s healthy again, he still likes to lie in it to sleep.

2-3 minor flaws, but otherwise quite okay
Setup is straightforward; just unfold it and hook in the metal clips – done. Perfect for our little one (at the moment, the cage is upside down because the entry is a bit high for the still short legs).
However, the metal carrying handle is actually made of plastic! And why it’s mounted on the actual underside by default is beyond me. But you can easily change that. Value for money is good. If it stays like this and nothing falls apart, I’m happy.

Well-suited for pulling back.
Hello,
We decided on this box because of the good reviews. We placed a little basket inside the box. Our dog loves to retreat into it and also enjoys sleeping in it. We are very satisfied. However, there’s one star deducted for the door because: The doors are a bit crooked and don’t close very well! But apart from that, I’m overall very happy, and considering the price, you can overlook this small flaw!!!

Very sturdy
I bought the cage as an indoor crate for my Mali puppy. The quality and price are convincing. A bit annoying, though, is that the lower horizontal bars are too wide at first; it's only from about 5 cm up that the mesh gets tighter. The little one keeps throwing his toys or chew items out and then tries to grab them with his front paws. That’s not really great for his little paws or my parquet flooring.

Fast delivery, good product!
Ordered Tuesday evening - delivered Friday, awesome!
The cage is really good for the price and easy to assemble.
2 small downsides:
- overall quite heavy
- due to the material and the metal tray, there's quite a lot of noise even with small movements, but this disappears after cushioning underneath the base (otherwise, it’s really loud clattering).

Price-performance ratio is great, cage top-notch.
I bought the cage for my German Shepherd puppy so he could travel safely in the car. Fast delivery, very satisfied, and assembly was quick too. Our Sammy immediately accepted the cage and enjoys car rides. Hardly any rattling noise, or if there is, it’s not loud – just put a blanket over it, and it’s all quiet. I can only recommend it.

Good value for money
It's certainly practical, this transport cage: It's easy to assemble and disassemble, feels sturdy, is very well-made for the price, and even fits on the back seat of my small Peugeot 206 (though unfortunately not in the boot). The only downside: Our pug isn't too fond of the base – partly because the metal is a bit cold and slippery, and partly because of the metallic noises. A simple fix is placing a towel under the metal tray and another one on top. That takes care of the noise and stability, and the cage is accepted as a resting spot. A practical travel companion at a fair price: Recommended.

Quite good
Hi,
The only thing that bothers me a bit is that it's a bit tricky to fold and unfold it... I go to tournaments with my dogs, and I need the crates for that. For my other dog, I have a fabric crate... I'm used to being able to fold and unfold that one quickly and easily... But the wire crate is sturdy.

Good quality but always keep an eye on your dog.
Got this kennel to housetrain my cocker spaniel pup. I only keep her in the kennel for 20 minutes at a time and I always keep an eye on her. (I don't keep her in it over night.)
Good quality product and easy to assemble.
After a while my pup started to chew the bars on the kennel. At one point she caught her mouth in one of the latches on the kennel and she couldn't get her mouth out - very painful for her. Luckily I was beside her when it happened. So I would be careful about keeping a dog/pup in the kennel for too long or without supervision.
Overall, good product at a good price.

Good value for money
Our very tall Labrador has been using the cage (second-largest size) for half a year now in our Renault Laguna estate. It fits snugly on the asymmetrically folded-down rear seat (with the backrest removed), which has the advantage that the large boot remains usable and one person can still sit in the back. It does rattle, as has been frequently mentioned here, but we've gotten used to it; if you're sensitive to that, you'd be better off choosing a box. Advantage of the cage: Better visibility when reversing. You definitely need a non-slip blanket or foam insert.
All in all: We would buy the cage again!

great cage, pity about the tray
Cage is great, exactly as specified. Metal tray is well made with no sharp edges but it is very slippy, especially on car journeys and is warm on hot days and will be cold in the winter. I do use a towel/blanket but it slides about as well. My previous (smaller) crate bought from a high st shop had a plastic tray which was more comfortable for my dog. The only zooplus crate I could see that had a plastic tray was the sloping design, which was not suitable for my car. Overall a good product though and I will probably be buying another one shortly, for the house.

Stable, but noisy
I got the box (L 94 x W 62 x H 71 cm, 2 doors) for my Labrador mix, and she was very sceptical at first because the box makes a loud rattling noise when entering. It took a bit of persuasion to get her to actually go inside. But now she’s gotten used to it and even likes sleeping in it. If you put in two blankets and a cushion, the rattling isn’t as bad, though you can still hear it. I wouldn’t recommend the cage to people who are sensitive to noise.
At first, the workmanship seemed a bit flimsy to me, and I wasn’t sure if it would really hold my dog. But it’s sturdier than it initially appears, and nothing has bent or shown any potential hazards for my dog.
All in all, I think it’s good value for money, and I especially like how practical it is that you can simply fold the cage up when you don’t need it, so it takes up very little space.

I'm really very satisfied.
Very fast delivery as always, and a great product.
Our 3-month-old Shih Tzu mix puppy feels very comfortable in it and is well secured, even when the shopping is still in the car.
I put two thick blankets inside, so the metal tray doesn’t bother her. The tray does rattle a bit, but it’s not disturbing.
Assembly was done in no time – my 5-year-old daughter put it together herself, if that’s not what you’d call an easy setup ;-)
I wouldn’t have been able to get such a car crate this cheap anywhere else, so that’s even better.
All I can say is: top-notch!

Absolutely brilliant
The cage is simply brilliant. My dog took to it really quickly. Now he has his own den, and I can be sure that when he’s left alone, both my flat and my dog will stay intact. The only thing that could be improved is the rattling of the tray – something should be done about that. But overall, a fantastic investment! Especially for destructive pooches like mine!!

Review of the Transport Cage
The transport cage is certainly very practical, but it requires a lot of patience before the dog accepts it, as it is "too noisy" due to the steel construction. I was only able to coax my young dog into it by placing the cage on a carpet and temporarily lining it with a carpet insert. Loose blankets slip around, so I am now looking for a hygienic insert that is easy to clean. Other than that, there’s nothing to complain about with the product. It would be a good idea to offer a suitable insert right away – I’m sure it would be well received!

educationally valuable
This metal box is useful for every dog owner, even from a training perspective, as it can serve as a protective den for the dog when used correctly (e.g. never use it for punishment).
Lokka things!

Lightning-fast delivery - good quality goods
I never thought my dog would accept the transport crate so quickly – she’s absolutely thrilled!! To deal with the rattling (unfortunately quite loud), I wrapped a blanket around the metal tray – now the noise level is acceptable.
