Dog Kennel Spike Comfort + Insulating Mat - Set Size S
I have today received the Small ‘Spike Comfort’ Kennel, which I purchased as a package that included insulation for the kennel and a plastic door. The kennel is actually for an elderly cat that has been abandoned by a neighbour (grrrr), but who I cannot have in the house, as my own two cats have been less than charitable towards him. >
Letting the little fella into our home will require a gradual approach and a long term solution is needed in order to provide shelter and warmth - the Spike Comfort kennel seemed to be the answer. >
The kennel was very well packaged and easy to assemble. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the kennel in that some care appears to have been taken, rather than shoddy engineering, which seems to be the norm these days. I was particularly pleased to see the house was on raised legs and the legs were protected with plastic feet, which are adjustable. Do ensure you put the roof on once outside, as we were unable to get it through the doorway with it on. It does only take a couple of minutes to screw the roof onto the frame of the house. >
The insulation was a lot thicker and sturdier than I was expecting and came in a fabric bag, so it could be stored away when not in use. I had planned to line the kennel with polystyrene tiles, to keep it warm, but we don’t think that will now be necessary, thanks to the insulation. I have also put a thick soft cat house into the kennel to make it really cosy. The kennel (without any soft cat house installed) would comfortably accommodate two medium sized cats. >
The quality of the kennel and the insulation surpassed my expectations and for the price I paid, which included the delivery, was excellent value for money. >
I was very impressed by Zooplus. Zooplus informed me by email that due to Christmas demand and the delivery firms they use being overstretched to the point they could not currently accept any more parcels, they had arranged for another firm to fulfil the delivery contract. The tracking of the parcel showed that the kennel came from Germany, and it was delivered to our door by Parcelforce, four working days after I placed the order – not bad considering the delivery was included in the price! >
Given the quality of the products purchased and the efforts of Zooplus to ensure a timely fulfilment of the order, I would have no hesitation in using Zooplus in the future. >
Thank you Zooplus, you have made an otherwise unhappy puss cat very comfortable this Christmas...he is fast asleep in the kennel as I type this. :)
