- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2023Color: TAUPESize: 48.0"L x 32.0"W x 35.0"HVerified PurchaseThe Petmate Ultra Vari Dog Kennel is a game-changer for pet owners with extra-large dogs, providing a durable and heavy-duty travel crate that ensures their safety and comfort during journeys. This kennel has quickly become an essential part of my pet care routine, giving me peace of mind whenever I travel with my furry companion.
The first thing that impressed me about the Ultra Vari Dog Kennel is its robust and durable construction. Made with high-quality materials, this kennel can withstand the rigors of travel and the natural movements of larger dogs, ensuring it remains in top-notch condition for years.
The spacious design of the kennel allows my extra-large dog to comfortably stand, turn around, and lie down without feeling confined. The ample space promotes a sense of security for my pet, making them feel more at ease during travel or when resting inside the kennel.
Safety is a top priority, and the Ultra Vari Dog Kennel excels in this aspect. The secure door latch ensures that my dog remains safely contained inside the kennel, even during bumpy rides or unexpected movements.
The kennel's ventilation system is thoughtfully designed, providing adequate airflow to keep my pet cool and comfortable, even during extended journeys. The side vents promote proper air circulation, reducing the risk of overheating.
I appreciate the kennel's portability, with a comfortable handle on top that makes it easy to carry and transport. Whether I'm traveling by car or air, the Ultra Vari Dog Kennel's portability ensures a hassle-free travel experience.
The kennel's heavy-duty design and reinforced corners add to its overall durability, offering extra protection during travel. I can rest assured that my dog is safe and secure inside the kennel, regardless of the journey's conditions.
Another notable advantage is the kennel's ease of cleaning. The smooth plastic surface and removable tray at the bottom allow for quick and convenient cleanup, saving time and effort after every trip.
In conclusion, the Petmate Ultra Vari Dog Kennel is the ultimate travel crate for extra-large dogs, combining durability, comfort, and safety in one package. Its spacious and secure design, along with the thoughtful ventilation system, provides a reassuring environment for my pet during journeys. If you're a pet owner looking for a reliable and heavy-duty travel crate for your large dog, the Ultra Vari Dog Kennel is the perfect choice. I highly recommend this kennel for its outstanding quality and performance in ensuring your pet's safety and comfort during travel!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015Color: TAUPESize: 48.0"L x 32.0"W x 35.0"HVerified PurchaseI needed this kennel for a 56 lb dog that has separation anxiety because the round door lock is one that is harder for dogs to figure out how to open. This crate is for dogs a lot larger than 56 lbs, but since he has separation anxiety, I am trying to train him to be comfortable in his crate and the larger the crate, the easier that will be.
This crate is working wonderfully. He's learned that he can't use his teeth to open the door latch and he can't muscle his way through the door or the sides. In a previous foster home, he'd busted out of a metal crate, so he had already been conditioned to think he could bust out of any crate. I have a camera set up to watch him and within a few weeks, his attempts to escape from the crate petered down to nothing and now he just sleeps while in it, because he's learned that he can't escape, and that realization gave him the opportunity to learn that I always come back, so the crate isn't something to panic about.
This crate is great for separation anxiety that is not too over the top, but it does require some initial training (by either setting outside under a window or using a camera to send verbal corrections whenever the dog tries to paw at the door or window). If you devote time to doing that training for several weeks, than this crate will hold up through the training and will become a sanctuary for your dog. One note, if your dog has such bad separation anxiety that he would break through glass or eat a full wooden door to get back to you, then you either need to devote A LOT of training with this crate, or you need to step up to a metal crate. This is plastic, which means a persistent dog could eat through it if he was inclined and unsupervised for long enough without the initial training.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2025Color: TAUPESize: 48.0"L x 32.0"W x 35.0"HVerified PurchaseMy Doberman dog hates small crates but loves this one.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023Color: TAUPESize: 48.0"L x 32.0"W x 35.0"HVerified PurchaseI bought the 90-125lb model kennel on a recommendation from a breeder, as she has 5 of them for each of her Berners. Our boy is 115 lbs. and stands as tall as out kitchen table. He has been getting into mischief when left unattended for the hour he is alone in the morning. The overall height of this kennel is almost up to my chest and I am 5'4" tall. The kennel holds both my Berner and my Golden to lay side by side and cozy. I am able to fit inside and I am also 200+ pounds. My husband was able to crawl in this kennel keeping his legs outside of the door and he is 300 pounds and 6'0 tall! With this in mind, make sure you have ample space for this!!!! It is a LARGE LARGE LARGE kennel for our LARGE LARGE LARGE breeds!! As for my Berner, he hates kennels so we are slowly introducing it to him. He wasn't a rescue, but he was kenneled by a previous owner and things did not go well. He has some issues.
The kennel:
It's LARGE enough for your Giant Breed.
It's STURDY.
It's easy to assemble in less that 20 minutes alone. Put the top on, secure in place with screw and plastic nuts. Make sure the door is the direction you want it to go before securing the sides or you will have to take it apart and redo it.
The door is a little clunky when opening and closing, but I'm sure that will change with frequent use.
The latch is husband proof. He had a minute when trying to open it. (Haha!)
The latch is also pet proof. It's a dial and has a push button mechanism for opening. Great for those escape artists. This product as it stand earns its 5 stars in my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal para perro gigante
Color: TAUPESize: 48.0"L x 32.0"W x 35.0"HVerified PurchaseMi perro es un schnauzer gigante de más de 45 kilos , le queda perfecto este tamaño, ya que no habíamos encontrado una que le quedara bien y cómoda. Hay que tomar en cuenta que es muy complicado viajar con esta transportadora, debido al tamaño es difícil de cargar y NO cabe en una camioneta tipo suburban, requerirás transportación especial o llevarla desarmada. Por lo demás muy bien y resistente.
