Pet Life 360-degree Vista View Polka Dot Soft Side Pet Carrier Crate
Apparently, my dog is a genius. I thought this would make a good bedroom kennel for my little rescue doggy. It came and was just what I was looking for. Soft sided, cozy, plenty of room for the 25# Terrier-mix. I put a kennel pad in, which fit just fine. Perfect little den.
All was well the first night, but the second night, I put her in, zipped it up, laid down and turned off the light. After a few minutes, I hear zzzzziiiiiiiiipppp, and suddenly, she plops in the bed. I thought I hadn't zipped it up all the way, so I put her in again, and made sure the zipper was tight to the end. This time, I watched. Sure enough, she worked at it with her nose and "toes" and ended up unzipping the crate. Adorable. I cut my losses and just let her sleep in the bed with me.
So, long story short, you either need to find a way to put some sort of clip that will latch the zipper so it's not so easy for the dog to manipulate, or, if you have a dog who isn't a genius, you're probably fine.
I like it a lot though, and would consider taking it on a trip, if I can figure out how to make the zipper a little more secure. She probably could tear through the netting, but I doubt she would.
