DONORO Dog Kennels and Crates for Medium Dogs - Portable Pop Up Travel

In this review of the DONORO Dog Kennel the bottom line is simple: it is a lightweight, portable pop up crate that works best for indoor use and travel with small to medium dogs. The reviewer found the one-piece pop up design and flexible steel wire frame make setup and breakdown genuinely quick, while the water-resistant fabric and reinforced seams offer peace of mind for everyday use. For owners who need a simple travel crate with two access points and an easy-to-clean pad, this kennel is worth considering.

Key Features

• Safe construction: Reinforced corners and protected seams help reduce wear and add strength around contact points where pets move or scratch.
• Two doors design: Dual-entry doors with a double zipper make access convenient and give handlers options for loading or unloading pets.
• Water-resistant material: Durable fabric resists light moisture and is practical for camping, car travel, and indoor containment.
• Easy fold and unfold: The flexible steel wire frame pops up in seconds with no assembly, then folds flat for storage or transport.
• Removable pad: A washable pad provides comfort and can be removed for cleaning or replaced when necessary.
• Portable dimensions: At 36 in x 23 in x 28 in it fits many medium dogs while remaining light enough to carry for short trips.

Who It's For

This kennel suits owners who need a convenient travel solution or a light-duty indoor enclosure for medium-sized dogs, cats, or rabbits. It is especially useful for families who value fast setup, a washable pad, and two door options for easier handling during vet visits or short road trips.

Those who need a heavy-duty, permanent outdoor crate or have very strong chewers should look elsewhere; some customers mentioned the frame can feel unstable for very active or large dogs, so a welded steel crate would be a better fit for escape-prone or highly destructive animals.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight and highly portable for travel and short trips.
• Quick pop up setup and folds flat for easy storage.
• Two-door design and double zipper provide secure and flexible access.
• Water-resistant fabric with a removable washable pad adds convenience.

Cons

• Not as sturdy as rigid metal crates for very strong or persistent escape artists.
• Flexible frame can warp; it may take a few adjustments to return to shape after folding.
