What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the title says XS, the model field says Allax XL Compact Dog Crate, and dimensions are given both as 71.9L x 50W x 50H centimetres and 71.88 x 50.04 x 50.04 cm; 15.5 kg. Confirm the selected crate's exact size and fit for your vehicle and dog before buying. Crash testing, the crumple zone and other safety features are manufacturer claims, not independently verified here.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of assembly, fit and perceived safety, including reports that the crate fits some vehicle boots. This is useful context for buyers considering a compact car crate, but vehicle fit depends on the actual crate variant and boot dimensions. The overall rating distribution is mostly five-star, with a smaller one-star share, so experiences are not uniformly positive.

Frequently asked questions

Is this definitely the XS version?

The title says XS, but the model field says Allax XL Compact Dog Crate. Confirm the exact variant and dimensions with the selected listing before ordering.

What are the listed dimensions?

One listing field gives 71.9L x 50W x 50H centimetres. Another gives 71.88 x 50.04 x 50.04 cm; 15.5 kg, so the measurements are not consistent.

What access features does it have?

The manufacturer describes a gas-damped front door and an escape hatch that can be opened from the back seat.

Does the listing claim crash testing?

Yes. Manufacturer copy says the crate was crash tested from the front and rear and in a simulated rollover scenario. These are manufacturer claims and are not independently verified here.
