I bought the Thule Allax S for my French Bulldog, Bowser, and it’s been excellent. The build quality is solid and feels very secure, which was my main concern. It fits well in my car without taking up unnecessary space, and there’s still enough room for my pup and groceries. Bowser seems comfortable and calm inside it, even on longer drives. It’s open enough for my Frenchie to stay cool on long car rides without feeling like he’s in a cage or doggy prison. The ventilation and design are well thought out, and it’s easy to get him in and out without any hassle. You can tell this isn’t cheap, it’s made to last and actually protect your dog. If you care about safety and quality, this is 100% worth it.

Great kennel! Easy to put together, silent when driving and not too bulky in the car. Gives great peace of mind. Hopefully it will last many years.

I got this crate for my 50 lb. cattle dog mix to ride safely in my 2024 Subaru Forester. She fits snugly in this crate, and it is fine for driving around town, but I think it might be too small for longer road trips. The Medium size was too long to fit in my trunk. I wish there was a Small option that was a little wider. It was very easy to assemble, and I have not had any issues with the function. My dog seems very comfortable as she easily jumps in and out of it, and I feel a lot better keeping her safe in the car :)

I've been eyeing these crates for a long time and finally took the plunge and do not regret it! It wasnt the easiest to put together but it fits great in my car and it cools off much faster now than with my old crate. I love that the door includes hydraulics so that I dont have to hold it open and its the perfect size for my 2025 Subaru Forester. Very happy with my purchase.

Having had all different brands of crates these Thule crates are by far the best. Crash tested, quiet (no rattling while driving), great ventilation, lots of room. I also purchased the leash hooks and bags and they are perfect compliment to the system. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone looking for the safest transport option for their dog!

So far the Allax crate has been amazing. There is plenty of airflow and it's very solid construction. Not made of plastic, which is an absolute plus--especially if your pet gets nervous and attempts to chew the crate. It's perfect for my flat-coat retriever puppy. I am concerned that I may have bought the wrong size (based it off of Thule's recommendation for golden retriever - since flatties should be about the same size), but not sure he'll be able to stand up and turn around when he's fully grown. Guess we'll see. For now it fits two puppies (just for a short distance) so I can take my flattie and his cousin for a small adventure!

Was looking for a cage for my two mini sausage dogs and the small one was perfect fit. Wanted one that was completely noiseless and this fit the bill.

I bought this last month and it’s been great so far! I was looking for a large dog crate big enough for my dog but also small enough to fit in my smaller SUV and this kennel fits just perfectly (for reference, it’s a 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer). It’s a little snug for my pup but I know car kennels shouldn’t be too spacious. He’s able to get up, turn around, and lay down/curl up just fine. Will definitely look into more Thule products for my vehicle!

Best dog crate I’ve used to date and I’ve been though a TON since being a dog handler since 1999. Ventilation, safety, ease of set up, quiet and functional.

The kennel is too small and will be returned. The base is big enough for him to lay down but he can’t sit up or stand due to the angle of the sides.

I've had this kennel for about a month now and am happy with the design and the fit. I have the Allax in medium in the trunk of my 2022 VW Taos. I would say it just barely fits and the back seats must be folded down unfortunately. If absolutely necessary, it does fit sideways in the trunk with the seats up but the entrance becomes narrow for my dog. The small would've likely fit better but the medium is better for my 60lb lab. It was super easy to assemble and install. Minimal noise when traveling, but it does creak when the vehicle is very cold (-20c ish). In comparison to the other crash tested car kennels, I'd say this one is superior as it does not need to be custom fit to your car.

Finally a safe dog crate that fits well and allows our cherished companion to see what’s going on as we go about our day

The Allax is perfect for adventure-seekers who frequently take their four legged companions along. It’s designed for pet owners who prioritize safety and want a heavy-duty, secure crate that can handle rougher terrain. While its sturdiness makes it less ideal for frequent in-and-out use, it’s a premium, stylish option for those who need long-lasting durability and protection. Unlike basic plastic crates, it offers both function and aesthetic appeal for those looking to invest in premium pet gear.
