I needed a kennel that would fit in the back seat of our quad cab pickup; so our rotweiller would be more comfortable on trips. This kennel is perfect! She can lay down as well as stand up completely. No more being squished and squatting which was hard on her elbows with displaysia. All the other kennels I looked at were too wide to fit in the back seat; if you went taller or longer. We love this kennel! And with wayfair we got a great price and the shipping to get it sooner for our trip was really reasonable. We are definantly pleased.
