Perfect for my Frenchie
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.

Medium dog kennel
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.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Thule Allax dog kennels! I am sorry to hear you did not find the product meets you and your dog's needs.
Thule Allax kennels are designed to provide a safe and secure place for dogs while in a vehicle. For their safety, the kennels are designed to be just big enough for dogs of appropriate size to enter, turn around and lay down. The reduction of internal space keeps the dog more secure and reduces the chance of injury.

Excellent Kennel
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.

Love it so far!
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 :)

Love it!
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.

Best crate for travel ever!
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!

Really diggin' this crate!
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!
