Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased two of these kennels for the Giant Breed rescue I help to run. Most of our fosters do fine in a standard wire kennel, but we wanted something a little stronger for our Houdini dogs. This looked like the perfect solution, and even says it's built to last a lifetime... Or, in our case, the 45 minutes it took to run to the grocery store and back on the first day of use. A super friendly 12 yr old, 120 lb Saint Bernard broke the bottom hinge off and bent the top hinge post. She was able to bend the bars in the door solely by pressing against them with her head. She does have separation anxiety, but she's not destructive. She gets into the fridge and eats her feelings. We were trying to keep her contained solely to ensure she didn't eat something that could hurt her. I contacted the seller and was told that pet damage is not covered, so they will neither refund nor replace the kennel. They said "100's of rescues use this kennel without issue" and that rescues from all over Florida come to them to buy these kennels in bulk, although they weren't willing to provide any examples of these 100's of rescues. This kennel is NOT safe or secure. We will stop using them immediately and will greatly discourage our rescue partners from using them as well. If a sweet senior Saint Bernard can destroy one that quickly, I can't imagine what a younger, stronger dog could do.
