I ordered a vario barrier and it was super easy to order, website was very helpful, delivery was very fast. Highly recommend ordering for them!
The K&J Collapsible Dog Crate 2.0 is amazing! Super sturdy, easy to and travel with, and my dog feels right at home in it. Couldn’t be happier! All of the available accessories is a nice touch too!
When travelling from Queensland, Australia back to Canada, we needed reliable crates for our two German Shepherds. After finding only cheap plastic options with limited lifespans, we discovered K&J Crates in Edmonton — and couldn’t be happier.
From the first call, Jill (one of the owners) was incredibly helpful and patient, even with the 14-hour time difference. She explained every detail to help us find the perfect match. The website is stylish, easy to navigate, and packed with clever accessories — from grooming stand attachments to cushioned rubber mats.
Shipping was fast (about four days, including a weekend), and we were able to track the crates from start to finish. The craftsmanship is exceptional — strong, beautifully finished, and clearly built to last a lifetime.
A truly Canadian company offering premium quality and outstanding customer service. Highly recommended.
Got it in matte blue, and it looked great. I ended up exchanging for a collapsible crate, as it takes up a lot of space in my car. But very well made, easy to open latch but feels secure. I really like the secondary latches and ability to lock if needed. The medium is plenty of space for my large whippet.
Sturdy, safe and looks amazing. My dog loves it and I do too. I wanted a safe spot for my trusted friend.
We bought 2 extra large crates for our German Sheperds. We are moving to France and wanted them to be comfortable in the plane. The quality of these crates is incredible (including the hardware)! And everything is well designed and thought out. The crate pads make it much easier for our dogs to feel comfy in there. We leave the doors open and they just go in there to chill, they love it. And last but not least, K&J’s customer service is outstanding!
The quality of these dog crates can only be seen in person. Easy assembly and use within minutes. Service was at the highest standard even offered to open shop on weekend to provide faster service. Will definitely be shopping again with a great local business.
Wonderful product, dog will be secure and very handy to use the top of crate . Highly recommended
This has to be hands down the best crate ever! My high anxiety dog with separation anxiety has ate through the other crates we have had but this one she loves to be in it and is so calm when we have to leave her now
No instructions were included in the grooming box so I texted Jill She was at a soccer game and still go t the instruction to me in seconds
Very happy with the collapsible crate. Had to exchange due to ordering the wrong size and had excellent customer service and quick service.
Variocage fits perfectly in my Subaru Outback. Assembly was relatively easy but I would definitely say that it’s a 2 person job.
I bought my stationary pink crate and received it in 3 days easy put together great product
The wheel trolly is essential if you’re going to be moving the crates around at all it’s very handy for Dog Shows
The kennel is perfect! Customer Service is amazing! Will definitely be purchasing again if ever needed!
I am thrilled with the quality of this crate and the service was perfect. It is a bit heavy but I understand that it is metal and all efforts were made to reduce the weight. It is almost exactly like Impact crates but made in canada and therefore Canadian price.
The wheels for this crate are an absolute must. Easy to put together and fit securly to the crate. Excellent for wheeling around at shows or at the airport. Highly recommend!
We purchased a K&J after trying many other crates. We travel often for dog shows and needed a stationary crate that could double as a grooming table. These crates are the best in the market, hands down! So very impressed and can’t stop raving! Thank you for creating such a quality, versatile product that is eye catching and beautiful as well!
My collapsible crate with grooming package and trolley meets all my needs when at home and frequenting dogs shows. The quality is outstanding. I love the ability to fit everything neatly in the back of my car with room to spare. I also love the Tack box I purchased that matches the crate, so classy
I bought my kennel during a sale with the crate pads and the chew guard door. The customer service was super fast and informative when I was purchasing. The kennel is great quality and will last forever. I feel like my dog is sleeping better at night and feels better in this kennel. However, the instructions on building the kennel were awful. I made mistakes on building it. I put rivets where I wasn't supposed to because it wasn't clear. I had two different color rivets in my pack but nothing specified that I could of picked either the black or silver ones. I would have picked the black ones if I had known they were an option and not used elsewhere. Rivets would get jammed at times and leave spikes that I had to use wire cutters to remove. One of the door pre drilled holes were too small and now the rivet doesn't sit flush on the side when I added that rivet. Im unhappy that there's mistakes on my kennel now that I cant fix with how much Id spent on it. Worth the purchase but assembly is a nightmare and they need better instructions or video instructions would be great too.
We are very impressed with our crate. BINDY is not so convinced to try it yet. Hoping she comes around soon. Thank you for your assistance and if you have any hints to convince her to go in and try we are all ears. 💖
I bought this crate for my dog to recover in after a pretty major surgery. I’ve had quite a few crates but never a collapsible one which is what I needed in order to keep her in a good space for her post-op recovery. The crate is incredibly sturdy and I feel really good knowing she’s well contained. She was already crate trained but she took to it immediately and seems to love it.
This is a picture of her early on in her recovery. She has plenty of room (even with the big cone).
We purchased a very large orange crate from k&J. I was hesitant for years but I am SO happy we bit the bullet and finally got one. The quality is amazing and the dogs (and kids) absolutely love it! Ill be purchasing several more!
