Petmate Vari Kennels have been completely redesigned.
The Vari Kennel Ultra series has given a new look and improved functions to this most popular model of the Petmate Crates.
This company has been the leader in plastic dog crates for many years and continues to soar with new and improved designs.
The new Vari Kennels offer dog owners a bundle of new features that will create a travel experience and aid in crate training like no other product like it will.
Many pet owners have had experience with these find products for many years, and just looking at the new style will see the advancement in technology that this fine company has made to this series of pet containment products.
The new Vari Kennel has been redesigned with a lot of research and thought into the needs of you and your pet.
The first thing that is noticeable is the two toned color schemes.
They offer a fancier look to the crate and give it more style than the previous models.
For those who are more traditional, the new series does come in the Classic Bleached Linen color, but the new colors have been received with warm welcome.
The new colors offer the same Bleached Linen color on the top half and a designer color for the bottom half.
They only downfall is that there is no choice of color for the bottom.
Only one color is offered for each particular size.
The first major change in function with the new Vari Kennels is the enhanced structural integrity of the product that Petmate added to these already sturdy crates.
They created an overlapping belt line that improves the overall look of the product while adding a sturdier design and increasing the simplicity of assembly.
A new multi-transitional design was added to better protect your pet.
Molded in handles around the new belt line make it much easier to lift and transport than the older versions, and the Medium size has a top handle for easy transportation of your smaller dog.
Covered door posts have been added to prevent it from catching on carpet, upholstery, and clothing.
Petmate has also added "through holes" which allow you to place "zip ties" in them to increase security and prevent slipping during travel.
The new Vari Kennel is designed to meet the standards of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
It has plenty of ventilation on all four sides which allow it to be used for airline travel.
An optional wheel kit is available for these Vari Kennels and they have a "quick disconnect" lever that allow them to easily be removed meeting the IATA and USDA requirement that wheels are removed prior to flight.
It has many new features that aid in training your pet in your home as well.
The floor has a "molded moat" in it which will divert fluid away from your pet in the event of a spill or accident, and the easy open squeeze levers make it easy to open the door to let your pet in or out.
All in all, the new Vari Kennel is one of the best dog crates in the business.
It was already good, and Petmate has made it even better.
This is a proven leader in the industry and continues to keep its lead over other similar products with these new and improved advancements.
I strongly recommend one of these fine products to anyone who is looking for top quality and value in a plastic crate.
