This is a must with dogs that chew the bars or doors with kennels.
I'm very happy with my purchase and the customer service I received. I had difficulties decide on a size for the size of my dog as well as the size of my vehicle and the lady we spoke with took a lot of time out of her day to go over measurements.
Exceptionally well made crates & fans
Customer service is excellent

One of the better kennels out there for dogs that want to escape. Love the 3 locks on the door.
I've heard a lot about the variocages and purchased one from here. Overall great crate, does rattle a bit but I love it!
Exceptional happy. My dog can’t pull the door inwards with her teeth and nails.
These crates are awesome and the customer service and communication was great too. I would, and will, buy again as well as recommend K&J Custom Crates.
We absolutely LOVE our Variocage Double XL! Our young dog Pluto is currently being investigated for a suspected neurological condition, which unfortunately led to significant crate and car aversion. We needed something exceptionally safe, comfortable and spacious that we could slowly help him feel good about again. After a ton of research, we chose the Variocage and couldn’t be happier. It is incredibly solid, beautifully designed and gives Pluto so much room. Best of all, he is already choosing to go inside on his own! Definitely an investment, but one we would make again in a heartbeat. ❤️

We ordered the Medium Stationary Crate with the trolly and grooming set to be shipped to Oregon The folks at K&J Custom Crates were super helpful in making sure that we included all of the components we needed and helped us navigate the ever changing tariff and shipping rules that exist between the US and Canada. Our shipment arrived in a very timely manner at the lowest possible shipping costs. We are very happy with the design fit and finish on the crate we received. One area for improvement is in the assembly instructions, specifically in orienting the top panel so that the slot for the second fastener on the grooming arm lines up with the hole in the top of the side panel. It is very easy to assemble the top 180 degrees off so that the upper hole for mounting the grooming arm is covered up.
Thank you for offering the best crate on the market and for walking us thru the ordering and shipping process

I ordered the variegate in March with delivery promised in May. I received no communication when it was delayed and had to chase the company for a shipping update. Shipping was promised in July but it didn’t arrive until the end of August.
I understand not everything is under the company’s control, but delays in a $2k purchase should have been communicated
I'd thought about purchasing a K&J track box for quite some time before finally deciding on this investment, and I'm so happy with it! My entire set up looks more polished and professional. I love the handles on the sides as well as the top so you can choose which way to carry it. It holds everything i need and everything fits perfectly while keeping me perfectly organized. 5 stars. 0 regrets.
Product is as shown and desrcibed. Little bit annoying to build. Should use bolts instead of rivets.
I already have 2 K&J Collapsible Crates and have loved these so much. I just recently added to my K&J collection and purchased a Variocage due to it's safety for my dogs. I realllllllly wanted the Max but I was told it wouldn't fit in my Suburban. I ended up with the Double XXL plus. It is perfect for my one shepherd with the divider out but will not fit both of my shepherds. I am disappointed in this. In terms of quality these things are top notch. The safety factor was my biggest draw. My Variocage was shipped out immediately. It arrived damaged but I was able to get a replacement part shipped out to me right away!! This was awesome. I also got free leash hooks with my purchase and these look and work great!
I really do love the variocage. I chose it for safety. The only thing is it definitely will not fit both of my shepherds. My older 96lb boy cannot turn around in it and where he is 14 and arthritic it is just to cramped for him. That was disappointing that I can't have both dogs in this. With the devider out it is just enough room for my younger 86lbs shepherd. Another thing to note is that i put it in my 2024 Suburban and the provided tie downs (which are part of the safety) do not even come close the reaching the tie down rings in my Sub at the front. I was told which ones to buy to replace the originals by 4x4 North America. This was disappointing as I just paid $3500 for a kennel and now have to spend more money to buy the right straps that should have been included. Both K&J and 4x4 North America knew the vehicle i was putting this in. No offer of a rebate or for them to provide the required tie down straps. Also it came damaged. I wrote to K&J right away (as i was unboxing and noticed the damage but I still have not heard back. I did reach out to 4x4 North America who answered me right away and are trying to get me a replacement piece. Again, disappointed that I paid that much for something that arrived damaged and the company I bought it from doesn't appear to care enough to respond.
I know this can happen and appreciated that 4x4NA is trying to make it right. My other issue was that I waited over a month to hear back from K&J about questions I had about purchasing a Variocage. I know they are super busy but still not good customer service. When i finally did hear back I was asked for measurements which I sent in but then did not hear back again. I let time pass and then just ended up emailing 4x4vNA. They helped me right away. K&J did respond to me very fast once I paid for one. This was very disappointing. I would like to point out that i have purchased a collapsible crate from them for my police k9 in the past and recieved great service. I believe they have grown since then. In saying that they may just need someone to answer customers questions. AI did not help. Overall, semi happy with the product other than being super disappointed i paid all that money and didn't have tie downs that even remotely came close to reaching, that it arrived damaged and that i really got zero help from the people I bought it from. Very happy with 4x4 NA's response time and the quality of the product minus the damage. I really hope in the future Variocage will come up with a wider and longer variocage for bigger dogs that will fit in these larger suv's.
I love my K&J crates. I have two collapsible and two stationaries. I have flown with the stationary crates, without issues. And I really love this company. It's a small family company that truly cares about their customers. Highly recommend K&J!
We ordered a large wide and tall for or Cane Corso puppy. This is a top tier Canadian made crate that will last forever. Very pleased with the customer service as well.
This matt fits perfectly in the large wide and tall crate we ordered, and it came free with the crate! Very impressed with the quality of both crate and matt.
My dog is a working dog and we travel by car frequently so I felt that we needed a quality crate for travel. I chose the Variocage over other crash tested crates for its solid safety rating and to give my dog an open barred crate so that he could see out better. I am please with how solid and rattle-free the crate is and my dog is comfortable in it. My only complaint is that we had some issues putting it together with some screws not sinking properly no matter what we did. In spite of this issue, the crate is solid. We found an on-line video to help guide us through assembly, which we preferred to the paper instructions.
My dog has destroyed 2 crates and multiple things in the house. Invested in a K&J and we can now leave knowing he wont hurt himself or destroy anything else. They are really well built and nice to look at.
Thanks K&J
