Basic Necessity for a City Dog May 14, 2006

If you have a medium sized doggie and are looking for a crate because you live in an apartment, this particular model is a good choice. Crate training is amazingly simple (just don't use it for punishment--make it a happy experience when your puppy go into his crate). We have been using this for two months, and he takes to it easily.
1. Easy to put together and fold away. Solid black e-coat steel wire, conjoined with small metal plates with welded corners facing out. It comes with a slightly smaller divider that you can hook to the insides of the crate. As our puppy got bigger, we moved the divider and eventually removed it.
2. The two doors (one on the long end is off-centered) are not removable and opens only one way so it's not omni-directional when you place it in tight spaces. You may want to check out some crates with three doors if so.
3. The bottom tray is made of black-composite plastic material, easy to wipe clean and slide out from under the short end of the door.
4. I like the double latch, but some people may find it a little more work to open and close day-to-day.
5. If you buy a crate cover, check out Cratewear Pet Dreams 3-Piece (which fits this model well, but only work with the door on the short end).
6. For this price, it's a good crate to highly consider because your goal is to have a sanctuary for your puppy (for time out and quiet-time) and to housebreak your dog and/or temperate from negative behavior (such as chewing furniture, etc.)
I hope this review is helpful for you.
Nice, sturdy crate, easy to set up, inexpensive February 24, 2006

I purchased this crate from Petsmart for my newly adopted dog. They size these crates based on dog weight, but I would measure your dog to make sure they fit.
My dog is less than 45 lbs, but his head touches the top of this crate when he sits up. He has room to lay down, but he can't really stretch out. I am ordering the next size up from Amazon for him however, and will use this one as a travel crate.
It set up in less than a minute, and everything works very well on it. The crate seems very sturdy and I've had no problems at all.
Great crate December 21, 2005

I bought this crate for my 30-lb beagle/terrier mix dog and it's great. It folds up in a cinch (it's literally 3 steps and takes about 10 seconds max) and has carry handles on the side, so it's really easy to transport. I like having the 2 doors so I have options of how I can place the crate in a room. There are latches on the top and bottom of each door so it's very secure. Great crate!
Wonderful crate for a pup to grow into November 29, 2007

We purchased this crate for our new 10-lb Labrador pup (who will eventually be 80+ lbs), and I couldn't be happpier with it. I only wish I had known about it 10 years ago when we got our German Shepherd pup, as we purchased multiple crates to accomodate her growing size. There is little to no set-up needed, as it literally just pops right up when you take it out of the box. The construction is very durable, with rounded edges. I thought the pan in the bottom would be cold for my dog, but it's made of some material that seems to always be warm. The adjustable divider that comes with it is very easy to move. My pup is very happy in his space!
Great Crate! June 28, 2007

I have this crate only larger 42inches for my border collie mix. We decided it was a little too big for her...although I am sure she doesn't mind :)Her large crate is going to our Husky for when she gets bigger, and our border collie will be getting this size crate. She absolutely loves it! It is her own bedroom. We don't crate her during the day but we do crate her while we sleep. I actually tried letting her sleep out of her crate and she kept moving around the room. Once she gets into her crate she pretty much passes out and falls asleep because she knows it means sleep time. The crate also folds down nicely and fits into our car without any problems. We just fold down the back seats and put our dog's bed on top and we are good to go! I would highly reccomend this crate to anyone. Having two different enterances is great! Our dog prefers the gate on the side. She always goes in without a problem! Also, I would highly recomend putting a bed inside during the winter and maybe a piece of carpet that covers the inside floor during the summer. This helps take away the noise of thier nails scratching on the plastic. Plus...they feel more comfortable.
