Why your dog will love it

  • Net inserts all round for good ventilation, closeable against sun or rain
  • Cuddly imitation sheepskin base layer
  • Upper net insert can cover and shade your dog

  • Ideal for outdoor use — water-resistant, fixes to the ground with straps and pegs
  • Particularly stable thanks to its metal frame
  • Frame: iron with powder coating
  • Material: hard-wearing polyester
  • Velcro fasteners underneath prevent slipping
  • Side pocket and bottle holder
  • Base layer machine washable at 30°C
  • Folds flat to save space
  • Colour: black/grey

Size guide

Size Outer dimensions (L x W x H) Empty weight
20 (S) 46 x 61 x 43cm 3.6kg
30 (S–M) 51 x 76 x 48cm 4.38kg

50 (L) 71/61 x 99 x 65cm 6.4kg

Please note: this kennel is not suitable for carrying dogs or cats, and should not be used as a pet carrier or crate. It is designed as a place to retreat and sleep — at home, while travelling, at shows and tournaments — and can be used as a closed carrier in the car.

It is not intended to house pets in their owner's absence, as the material can be damaged and allow the pet to escape.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave my dog in it while I'm out?
No — the fabric can be damaged by a determined dog, creating a genuine escape risk. It's a supervised retreat space, not unattended containment.

Is it genuinely waterproof for camping?
It's water-resistant and designed for outdoor use, with pegs and straps to secure it. For prolonged heavy rain, siting it under cover is sensible.

How do I choose the right size?
Your dog should be able to stand, turn around and lie down comfortably. Measure your dog and compare against the outer dimensions, allowing room to move.

Delivered across the UK — free delivery on orders over £59.99. Please note this item may be shipped from outside the UK, so allow a little extra time for delivery.

Care

General Care & Storage
To get the most out of your Petszo delivery, please keep the following in mind:

  • Edibles: Keep food and treats tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry environment.
  • Fabrics & Beds: Gently wipe clean or wash at 30ºC (always check the individual label first). Do not bleach.
  • Safety First: Regularly check toys and accessories for damage and remove them if broken.
  • Note: Always refer to the specific packaging for exact instructions.

Getting the most out of your Petszo order comes down to storing things properly and checking them regularly. Here's what matters.

Food and treats

Keep dry food tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Resealing the bag or transferring it to an airtight container helps stop the fats going stale, which is the usual reason a dog or cat suddenly goes off a food they previously liked.

Opened wet food should be covered and refrigerated, and used within about 24 hours. Serve it at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge — cold food is noticeably less appealing to most pets and can be harder on sensitive stomachs.

Many treat pouches contain a small oxygen absorber sachet to keep the contents fresh. This isn't edible — remove and discard it before giving your pet the treat.

Beds, blankets and fabric items

Most fabric items can be gently wiped clean or machine washed at 30°C, but always check the individual care label first — padding and covers vary between products. Don't use bleach, as residue can irritate skin and paws.

Removable covers are worth washing more often than you'd think, particularly for pets with skin sensitivities.

Toys and chews

Check toys and accessories regularly for damage, and remove anything that's cracked, split or losing pieces. Small fragments are a genuine choking and blockage risk.

Always supervise your pet with chews and rawhide products, and take away any piece small enough to be swallowed whole. Match the chew size to your pet — a chew intended for a small dog won't last long with a large one, and creates more risk.

Harnesses, collars and leads

Check the fit periodically, especially on growing puppies and kittens. As a rule you should be able to slide two fingers comfortably under any strap — tighter risks rubbing, looser risks your pet backing out of it.

Inspect stitching, buckles and clips for wear, and replace anything showing damage before it fails on a walk.

Litter trays and small pet enclosures

Scoop clumping litter daily and top up as needed; a full change every 1–2 weeks is typical, more often with several cats sharing a tray. Clean the tray itself with hot water and mild detergent rather than strong disinfectants, some of which are toxic to cats.

For small pet enclosures, spot-clean soiled bedding daily and do a full change weekly.

Switching foods

Introduce any new food gradually over roughly 7–10 days, mixing increasing amounts into the current food. Sudden changes are one of the most common causes of digestive upset, and it's easily avoided.

Always check the product packaging. The guidance here is general — individual products carry their own storage, washing and feeding instructions, and those take precedence. If you're unsure about something, or your pet has a specific health condition, speak to your vet.

Delivery

How long will my order take to arrive?

We aim to dispatch orders within 1–7 business days of you placing them. Delivery time after dispatch depends on the shipping method chosen at checkout. You'll receive tracking details by email once your order is on its way, so you can follow its progress with the carrier.

Do you offer free delivery?

Yes — delivery is free on all UK orders over £59.99. Orders below that threshold are charged at the rate shown at checkout before you pay.

Where do you deliver?

We currently deliver within the United Kingdom only. We don't ship internationally at present. Please note that a small number of items are shipped from outside the UK and may take a little longer to arrive — this is noted on the individual product page where it applies.

What if my order is late?

Carrier delays occasionally happen, particularly around public holidays or in bad weather. If your order hasn't arrived within the expected timeframe, get in touch with your order number and we'll chase it. If a package is confirmed lost or significantly delayed by the courier, we'll send a replacement or issue a refund.

How do I track my order?

Once your order ships, we email you tracking details. Use these to check live delivery status directly with the carrier.

Returns & refunds

Can I return something if I change my mind?

Yes. Under UK consumer law you have 14 days from receiving your order to tell us you'd like to cancel, and a further 14 days to send the items back. Items need to be unused, in their original packaging and in the condition you received them. Return postage for change-of-mind returns is at your cost. Full details are in our Refund & Return Policy.

What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?

We'll put it right. Under UK law you have up to 30 days to reject a faulty item for a full refund. For transit damage, contact us ideally within 48 hours of delivery with photos of both the item and the packaging. We cover return postage on faulty or incorrect items and will offer a full refund or a replacement.

Are there items I can't return?

For hygiene and safety reasons, opened or unsealed pet food and treats, used grooming products, personalised items and gift cards can't be returned unless they're faulty.

How long do refunds take?

Once we've received and inspected your return, we'll let you know whether it's approved. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days of us receiving the goods, back to your original payment method.

Can I cancel an order before it ships?

Yes — email support@petszo.co.uk with your order number any time before dispatch. If it's already gone out, you can return it under the 14-day change-of-mind period once it arrives.

Products

Do I need a prescription for veterinary diets?

No prescription is legally required in the UK to buy veterinary diet foods. However, these products are formulated for diagnosed conditions, so we strongly recommend speaking to your vet before starting one — and having your pet checked at least every six months while feeding it. If your pet's health worsens, seek veterinary advice straight away.

How should I switch my pet to a new food?

Gradually, over roughly 7–10 days. Mix a small amount of the new food into the current one and increase the proportion each day. Switching abruptly is a common cause of digestive upset.

How do I store pet food once it's open?

Keep dry food in a cool, dry place, ideally resealed or in an airtight container to stop the fats going stale. Opened wet food should go in the fridge and be used within about 24 hours. Always check the individual packaging, as some products have specific requirements.

This policy explains how we process, dispatch and deliver orders, and what to do if something goes wrong.

We aim to dispatch orders within 1–7 business days of the order being placed. Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays.

Once your order has been processed you'll receive a confirmation email, followed by tracking details where available.

5. Tracking your order

Once your order ships, we'll email you tracking information where available. You can use this to check the live delivery status directly with the carrier.

If a package is confirmed lost or significantly delayed by the courier, we will send a replacement or issue a refund.

7. Incorrect delivery addresses

Excellent product

My dog does not like the car and dribbles everywhere from stress, I thought this would make him feel safer and he seems much more content. A large fits the boot of my XC90 perfectly. He is a big lab.

Trixie Vario Transport Box

We bought a large version of this box for an English Springer Spaniel to use in the back of a Skoda Yeti and it is excellent in every respect. Our dog is really happy to travel in it and it is also brilliantly to use in the house when visiting people so he has his own space. A brilliant, brilliant product!

Trixie Vario Transport Box

I recently bought the Trixie Vario in the small size for my 4 1/2 year old French Bulldog. I wanted it for his indoor "den". I have been able to put a soft sided bed inside which makes it look extremely cosy. The size is perfect for him and he loves it.

Helga
Brilliant

Love this crate. I use if for two mini dachshunds in the car and they are fastened in well with this crate and still have good visibility. The other bonus is that this crate has a front and side entrance which is exactly what I was looking for which other soft crates did not have. Well made and very happy with this product.

Practical and indispensable

We decided after much back and forth (kennel, cage or crate) to choose this kennel, because we originally only wanted to use it for our puppies and the coming holidays. Now we absolutely couldn't do without it. Our dog made the kennel into her new home on the first night. The only thing she found difficult at first was being closed in, because she caught her claws in the mesh and tore some small holes. Now that she has grown a bit more that is no longer a problem. However, I do find that the carrying handle is becoming looser with regular carrying from A to B, and will probably tear off at some point. I really have to take off a point for that! At the moment we don't take the kennel with us everywhere anymore, but even in the larger sizes (we have size L) it is still quite portable.

Super foldable box

Our dog trainer told us we should get a kennel for Snoopy so that he can have somewhere to hide when people come and visit (he doesn't like visitors much). We bought the Vario kennel because it has an opening on the wider side, and it fits better in Snoopy's sleeping area. We really like it, it's very stable and looks great. It's easy to put up and take down, and very easy to store in your car and carry everywhere with you. We go to a hotel for a few days every September and always take the kennel with us into the hotel room. At first Snoopy hated it. (He came from abroad and was transported in a box with lots of other dogs in a lorry, that probably explains why). Then I thought of putting his basket inside the kennel - and now he loves it! Would absolutely recommend the Trixie Vario.

Good quality folding kennel

This kennel is really great! It's stable and well thought out... and the size L fits perfectly into our Passat Variant (without even taking out the parcel shelf), and also into our VW Touran. It is also big enough to let a Giant Schnauzer lie on his side comfortably; he can also stand up inside it. Putting it together takes about 30 seconds and is incredibly easy. The dogs love having a stable, comfy and light kennel to chill out in at home in the car and outside during training.

Oliver
Great kennel!

We absolutely love this kennel. It is super stable and doesn't crumple up, even when our Australian Shepherd puppy keeps moving around to get into the right sleeping position. The Velcro strips on the bottom stop it from sliding around when we're driving. We have just bought the same kennel in a larger size - I think that says it all.

J
James
very practical

The kennel looks good, is very practical and has lots of different entrances so you can use ti in different ways. Our Miniature Dachshund loves it - he's slept in it since the first night we brought it home.

Jacob
great and versatile

This crate is fantastic because you can open it from 3 sides, I've never found one before that allows you to do that. It means you can set it up lengthways or widthways.

great box :-)

This box is just brilliant, I saw it in a shop, but bought it here because it was cheaper ;-) My dog went straight into the box with no problems, even though he's never been in one before and is 12 years old :-) Great job PetsZo!

Super durable carrier!!!!

Thrilled with this product, bought it in size M a few weeks ago and have been using it on the back seat of our soft top. Works brilliantly. I've now bought the size L for our Fabia 1.4 Combi and that one fits perfectly into the boot. You do have to take out the parcel shelf to fit it in though. But it's worth it, so that our little Münsterländer has a bit of extra room! Great service from PetsZo as well! Couldn't be happier.

BEST IN SHOW

I bought one of these some years back (special order from Germany). I've had other travel crates which have been and gone, this goes on forever and still looks like new. Goes in the motorhome, the house, the car's back seat, the garden, travel bed away from home. Your pet will also thank you for taking his/her bed with you (familiarity etc). It's design also allows you to 'secure' your pet from little pinchers (kids) without the dog feeling abandoned or put out. Easy up, easy down, easy clean, EASY LIFE.

Brilliant box, simply great

We have a little Shih-Tzu called *SURI* and all I can say is: brilliant box. Our little one felt at home in it straight away, and it's very easy to put together. Highly recommended. Thanks

Teething puppy!

Ordered the box for my 3-month old Border Collie... unfortunately the zip fastening and material didn't stand up to her chewing it every night, so now the entrance doesn't close any more. She did seem happy and settled as soon as we put her in it though, and it's quick to assemble and easy to carry. If you don't have a puppy that likes to chew, I'd recommend this carrier.

super Box !

Wir haben die Box für unseren Havaneser Sammy gekauft, sie bietet genug Platz für ihn. Er hat sie sofort inspiziert u. nutzt sie ab u. zu als Rückzugsort, aber auch im Auto war sie schon im Einsatz! \nWürde die Vario wieder kaufen!

Great Carrier!

The carrier was very quick to put together, and our doggy absolutely loved it straight away!

Klasse Box!

Wir haben die Box für unseren Australien Shepherd Welpen gekauft und sind voll begeistert. Unsere Ellie hat die Box sofort angenommen und schläft jede Nacht darin.\nDie Box ist super stabil und robust gegen kleine Welpenzähne und Hundekrallen. Sie ist sehr schnell und unkompliziert aufzubauen. Wir haben die Größe L gekauft und denken, dass unsere Ellie auch ausgewachsen mit ca. 50 cm Risthöhe ausreichend Platz hat.\nWir sind rundum zufrieden mit dieser Box. Sie ist ihr Geld wirklich wert!

Good product

We bought the box in size XL for our Belgian shepherd. When we brought him home at 8 weeks, we put a cardboard box inside the kennel so that he wouldn’t feel lost in the larger cage, and to help with housebreaking. \n\nShe took to the box straight away and so far so good. At night we leave the top flap open so he can see us through the mesh. The first night he went a bit mad and had a good chew on the inside of the carrier, but it survived. The zipper on the side is expandable, and sometimes it gets stuck, but at the moment is still working ok (we’ve had the kennel for over 3 months now). However, the zip on the cover of the lining has broken, because our puppy just loves chewing on it!\n\nI really like how easy it is to put the box together and take it apart: there are only two cross braces to put together, and the box is ready. \n\nCONCLUSION: We would definitely buy this travel box again, as we are very satisfied with the price/performance. One star deducted because of the slightly dodgy zip on the side, and because the cover didn’t last very long when our puppy was chewing at it.
