The Petmate Vari Kennel is a hard-sided plastic crate for housebreaking, training and travel. The 32-inch size is the largest Vari that still carries a handle; it has a squeeze latch, side-wall vents, an interior moat that keeps pets dry and tie-down holes for zip ties or airline security. It assembles without tools and is made in the USA. Compared with soft-sided carriers it is heavier and bulkier but far tougher, and it is the size most buyers choose for a medium dog rather than a small one.
