Is this really worth the $20 this costs more over the Petmate 2 door Kennel?

I chose this one because the descriptions I read said the Petmate was a little bit smaller inside than this one and I have a pretty good size cat. I have not actually used it yet (they will be going for their yearly check up this month) but it appears sturdy and I knew after bringing one of my cats home from the vet that she was not going to willingly go in to another carrier. So my hope is that the door on top will be a surprise for her. If I had smaller cats, I would have probably purchased the Petmate but I didn't want to chance them being uncomfortable. The Marchioro has lots of room and the size will work great for me.

I believe so. It works very well. I travel between two states every month and it delivers every time.

The Petmate 2 does not open from the top. I have a difficult cat who hates carriers and getting him in from the top is much easier for me. It also gives him more air and he can see more of his surroundings.

I believe it is. I was given one by my sister. My cat calmed right down inside of it, which had not happened with her Petmate kennel or her soft-side. I think that being able to see through the top made the difference. It's much more solid in feel, also. When it came time to replace my second cat's carrier, I paid the extra for this one. Very well made. Cats both love them.

I certainly would not buy this bed for any puppy of mine until my puppy was 100% potty trained. It's way too big and way too expensive. He will certainly soil it. If you want to keep it in storage until he grows up, then go for it, or allow him to sleep on it while keeping a diligent eye on him until his next potty break, but do not allow him to go to the bathroom on it after spending over $200 on this bed!!!! If my standard poodle was still a puppy learning housebreaking rules, I would certainly NOT buy him this bed. WAY TOO BIG with too much room for him to pee on it. Sorry to sound so repetitive.

I am not sure what the difference is either, but they are priced the same on Hoover's website. I'm using the Pet Plus because I have dogs, but I got a small bottle of the professional with my machine, and can't tell much difference between the two. Hoover also markets a 2X Plus Professional, which claims to be twice as strong,but is cheaper. I'm agreeing with the other poster that it may just be marketing. Sorry, that's probably not much help. I would probably go with the best price, though.

I'm not quite sure how big my kennel is...all I know is that I have the biggest one I've ever seen and it fit perfect. Saved me at least $400. I mean if you're out $40 it's better than spending $400 right?

Not at all. Iv ordered two kennels now from here and both of them are the same sturdy quality you'd get at your pet store. I bought a smaller one for my Pomeranian and one for my full size doberman and I couldn't have asked for a better deal.

I would say no to two of anything older then 10 week old puppies. I bought my 1st of this carrier at a TJ Maxx. And then came to Amazon for another 5, that is how much I like the style. My Maltipoo flies commercially with me about 1x a month. The carrier fits under a seat, but the top does get smooshed down. My Maltipoo is almost 10 lbs is 16" inches from the base of his head to his tail. He is 10" tall from ground to top of shoulder blades, around his chest he measures 13" inches. He can stand and turn around and loves it. But in all honestly my Maltipoo loves being in purses and carriers. My other fosters, just slightly larger by say 3lbs and 2" length or height are not so pleased with the carrier. Also I caution the opening is small. My guy likes crates and such so he sneaks right in. For the other doggies I have to unzip the sides and drop them in that way. Hope this helps

I actually would stay away from this carrier. It's paper thin. I used mine for 1 week before buying Petmate Ultra kennel. It was like night and day. I'm putting this one on craigs list in hopes to get some of my money back.

I have a Vari Kennel, not a Petco but I believe they are similar. The only advice I can offer is that the dimensions of the door given by the seller were quite accurate, as was the photograph. It is not a rectangular door.

It doesn't look as if there is an additional cost for the CD...therefore, I don't understand the question. My Grandson adores his & I keep it here at my house, as I take care of him at least once a week. I started putting it near his changing table to keep him entertained while I changed his diaper. He's 17 months old now & still loves his "puppy". He plays along with him & claps & has learned quite a bit from interacting with "puppy". I really don't think the price that's listed is extremely costly. I paid quite a bit more almost 2 years ago.

You're right! I just checked Pet Edge and it's $124.99! PLUS!! If your purchase comes to $150.00, you get FREE SHIPPING!! I'd rather buy something else to bring my total up, rather than spend it on shipping... an it's STILL cheaper than this. How do the justify the high price? Thank you for the heads up, Carmen E. :)

Absolutely not. I opened mine and aired it for a day just because I do that with all items I use for my kitties. I used this for mynational winning Persian and I would only get the best for her. With all the "kennels" such as the well advertised brands that are out there forseveral hundred $$$$ this one has everybody beat on all levels. Easy to set up and knock down and move about. I give advice oncat care world wide for a major association and this is what I chose and I know all products out there. And it has the most usable space. Hope this helps.

I actually just called the company and they said there is no difference between the two models. They just market them differently for those people who have small dogs or cats. So go with the cheaper one (small version)!

For that price u can get a bigger cage used. Ferrets can get pretty long. It may feel crowded in here. If u put him/her in something of this size, try to let him out now and then (u can leave it in a room with no holes or dangerous furniture) so it can excercise. Check eBay, too. Good cage tho. Love the slide out bottom tray.

I purchased this door after lots of debate with my wife. I wanted another cheap door around the $100 range, but after some researching this door appeared to be the best on the market. After installing it, and using it for about 2 months in the coldest winter ever recorded in Maryland history the door is night and day compared to the cheaper doors. I even had the 3 flap "extreme" version of the cheaper door. The single door flap stays warmer then my metal insulated door! Is $350 hard to swallow, yes it is but you will not be let down by how well it is designed and built. My back room actually stays warm now as before it seemed like a window was always open with a draft. I purchased this door after lots of debate with my wife.

Hi, The difference can be either size, number of doors on the crate or simply a wire decor (like a flower design. I picked the snooze crate for the double door so I can put it in any room or my car and not worry about positioning the cage due to one door. It's well built and the door locks securely. Check both for the differences and ask seller if they don't have enough information. I hope this helps...

Look at the dimensions of the two. You get more space. It is not just 2 more racks. If it is made by the same manufacturer, Bradley, the what is more important to you? More space? Saving $100? Yes, the larger one has more space and more racks but is it worth it to YOU for YOUR needs to spend the extra $100? I purchased the 6 rack and we like it. It holds a LOT of meat. How many people do you normally entertain? Do you need it? Good luck with your decision!

I purchased the intermediate size which more than accommodates my 19-lb feline. Plenty of room to spare once she settles in. While cats and dogs take up space differently, my feeling is that the LARGE carrier would be a comfortable accomodation for your buddy, likely with room to spare for a pad.
