Is this sturdy enough to use as a kennel when not home? I have a 15lb dog and a 6 lb dog

This kennel has a floor that is only secured by Velcro, that being said if one of your dogs are crafty enough it will be out in a flash. We used this to contain 2 small cats in a motorhome, and my smallest one escaped every time we put her in there. We really only used it at night and during the day when the truck was in motion, but I ended up resorting to putting a harness on the escapee cat and holding her on my lap or letting her lay up on the dash board. So that is my experience with this kennel, which I may add is a really nice kennel.. my only complaint is the Velcro floor. I would be cautious putting my two Papillion in this kennel for the day. So my answer in a round about way is that the final decision is yours.

I recommend Midwest exercise pen ( it comes with 8 (2 foot ) panels that you can take apart and reattach with clips or zip ties ( pry with screw driver to get apart ) anyway I use them in the house to fence off areas I don't want the dogs to go when im not home and I use them outside too. they are great. the end of my bedroom has my dogs crate with the door open, water, potty patch and this pen around it ( 6 by 6foot area for when I need him corralled. enjoy.

Yes, the kennel is great. BUT, check out DryFur (http://www.dryfur.com/) and make all the suggested changes. It DOES matter!(You can buy the hardware at your local hardware store or Home Depot.)

Hm, probably not... It works well as a bed frame but is not sturdy enough for 4 large dogs. After having it for 2 months, with only my husband and I (and occasionally our two tiny cats) sleeping on it, it sometimes creaks.

Sturdy yes but watch the dogs nails, seats and bottom seem like thinner materials.sides seem pretty thick

Yes it is fairly sturdy but I wouldn't put too much weight on it. You may damage the connecting door hinges to the unit.

It's pretty sturdy but will depend on what size dog you have! I'd suggest taking it in a lake if your dog comes along, just for safety sake. I have a 54 lb dog and feel she's way too big to accompany me!

My dog is a beagle daschoung mix, about 32 or 33 lbs. It is ok for him for travleing. I dont use it for long term kenneling. He can stand up in it and move around. The crate is very good quality, easy to set up and take down. I am very pleased with my purchase.

We put two 15lb dogs in no problem... as long as the dog will fit inside and can stand inside I don't see why not.

Yes, it is very sturdy. I had to send the ones I purchased because my cats would not go in them. I have two cat weighing 15 &18 lbs and the carriers were not big enough for them. I loved the carriers but my cats did not. The carrier would be wonderful for smaller pets

This house works well for my terrier who is about 15 pounds. I cannot imagine my 23 pound beagle being able to fit inside!

Yes, its sturdy enough, just make sure it doesn't slide off when your dog tries to get on it. It needs to be secured somehow.

Pretty sturdy. I have a very active male Bull Terrier which it holds up to.

Yes, it's great quality and very sturdy. My spouse and I would definitely trust it to hold an additional 6 lbs.

yes but I would not recommend this kennel. it is very flimsy and our dog learned how to escape very quickly.

Absolutely. This is an incredibly sturdy...but not overly so...crate!! It would be perfect for that.

I have a tall 15 lb cat who is crated in this. He has more than enough space to move around. I can't imagine a 6lb dog having very many issues with this crate.

I'm not sure if it would be sturdy enough. It is essentially a small animal cage without the base.
