Pet Gear Travel System Stroller


Rating: 3 paws

Pet Gear Collapsible Pet Stroller with removable carrier. For pets up to 15 pounds.
The Pet Gear Travel System Stroller has a detachable carrier which you can carry over your shoulder and also a place to attach the carrier to a cat seatbelt. The carrier and the stroller base both fold flat. There is a leash attachment inside the carrier.

The stroller is very light weight. It is supposed to be for pets only up to 15 pounds, and I was able to fit my two kittens in it or one small dog quite easily. The only problem I have had with this product is that the carrier is very soft and sometimes it flops over or partially collapses while in use. There is also a minimal amount of "head room" especially compared to other types of strollers. Both the stroller base and the carrier can be folded flat for transport, but you must remove the carrier from the base in order to do this.

Cabana Crate

Rating: 4 Paws!

The Cabana Crate is a soft-sided collapsable dog crate made by Doggone Good. The crate being reviewed here is size Large, 38"L x 28.5"W x 30"H.

The bottom line is that I love this crate! It is perfect for it's use. This crate is not made for untrained dogs, puppies or dogs that will chew on a crate or scratch, so if you are looking for a housetraining crate this is not the one for you. However this crate is great for taking to dog shows or events where your well-behaved dog needs to be kept in a crate for part of the time. It takes a little time to figure out how to set this one up, but since I bought my crate they have altered the style and made it easier to put together. The Cabana Crate folds flat and the large size only weighs 11 pounds, making it ideal to carry around for vacations or dog shows.

Update: Unfortunately this product has since been discontinued. Doggone Good now makes another product for similar usage called the Pack-a-Pup Tent. If you are search for a product like the Cabana Crate I would recommend the Noz2Noz Sof-Krate made by Firstrax available at Amazon.com
