Travel-Aire Plastice Pet Carrier, sizes Intermediate-Large

Intermediate size is shown as Model RA28 in Item Description and picture shows an ASPCA Kennel; however, the model number in the Specifications is shown as TA28G, an Travel-Aire Kennel. I have ordered two different times thinking I was ordering the ASPCA two-tone kennel as shown and as described. What I got both times was the TA28G (Travel-Aire) 28 (Grey). Notice two other recent reviews had the same problem. Notice reviews dated 11/10/2011 and 12/30/2011. Other sizes might be ok but you're taking a chance until Walmart fixes their erronous model numbers.

There seems to be two different molds for making these crates, and one is superior to the other. One mold comes with built-in handles in the sides, and it has larger clips (to assemble the top and bottom), and the plastic seems thicker and more sturdy. The other mold comes with no handles, smaller clips, and seemingly thinner plastic. I purchased the Large from a local Walmart, and loved it. It had the handles, large clips, etc. I wanted another to keep at the beach, but could not find another locally. I purchased a Large online, and the mold with no handles and small clips was received. I returned it, and I found an X-Large locally with the handles, so I purchased that. If I never saw the difference in person, then the one without handles would probably have suited me fine, but knowing there is a difference, I wanted the better one. Pros: - Flat Bottom compared to other brands - easy to assemble, disassemble (for cleaning) - Price - Better ventilation then some competition

We were moving from the west coast to the east coast. In order to fly our dog, we needed an extra large pet kennel that was ASPCA approved. The airline required it, and we have a big dog! Our dog had a great trip. The crate was great, and traveled really well on the plane. It is very easy to dis -assemble to fit in the car. Great product! Thanks!

One of the only major kennel manufactures that you can not purchase replacement doors for... Go with another brand.

I got this hoping to help out with my 6 month old rescue cope with me leaving my apartment. Being a student, I would have to leave for up to 3 hours at a time and he would tear up anything and everything that was not too big to move. He's 25 pounds, and was able to bend the metal bars that hold the door in place to escape, even with the crate against a wall. Once I made NEW, stronger bars myself, he chewed a hole in the side because he was able to get his teeth around the vents. Maybe it's because he's a rescue and just has not has good experiences with crates, but this thing was nowhere near strong enough.
