I know this doesnt help now but when I got my first crate, it was not a petmate but the person told me to tie wrap the crate together to prevent this kind of thing.Thanks Chris
I sent my husband (Kennel Boy) off to Palm Springs with one of my washouts/his gun dog, along with one of those crates. The first night he used it, the dog had it apart, and my husband had to use wire ties to keep it together.
Had I seen this post, the crate would have been cut into pieces and taken to the landfill.
