Overview
Built for transporting a dog securely in an SUV, this kennel is shaped to fit against the canted second seat in many vehicles while keeping the interior practical for travel. Its one-piece roto-molded polyethylene construction, flexible wall, top, and floor design, and single-door layout are aimed at providing a sturdy, easy-to-use transport solution. The ambidextrous door swing, no-bite grid pattern, removable door, and raised floor add convenience for loading, cleaning, and everyday use. It is a solid choice for hunters and outdoor users who want a kennel designed around vehicle fit and straightforward handling rather than extra bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The SlantBack design is tailored to the canted second seat in many SUVs, so it may be less space-efficient in vehicles without that seat angle.
- This is a single-door kennel, which offers a simpler layout but less entry/exit flexibility than multi-door designs.
- The Intermediate size has fixed interior dimensions, so fit should be checked carefully against your dog’s size and your vehicle space before purchase.
- At approximately 20 lbs, it is still a substantial kennel to move and position, especially when loaded.
