MidWest Homes for Pets 30-Inch LifeStages Crate for Medium Breeds, 21-40 lbs, Single Door Folding Dog Crate with Divider Panel, Leak-Proof Tray & Secure Latch, Heavy-Duty & Easy to Assemble

I purchased two of these crates for two rescue dogs that we were blessed to adopt. We adopted one dog two months before the other and I purchased this crate after reading all the positive reviews. The crate arrived quickly and was a breeze to put together with very clear instructions. They describe it as portable and I guess you could call it that because it does fold up nicely, but it is heavy! It is very well made, sturdy and has built in clips that make it very easy to put up and take down. My 60 lb German Shepherd/Lab mix has plenty of room to stand as well as lay out flat. The 42" crate is the perfect size for her. I have a hard time imagining a dog figuring out a way to open the door by themselves as one reviewer suggested. The door is secured with a latch at the top and another at the bottom. It feels very secure. Was so happy with the first crate that I purchased another when we adopted another dog two months later. Again the crate arrived quickly and was a breeze to put together. Because this dog needed a covered crate, I also purchased a Precision Pet Indoor/Outdoor Crate Cover. GREAT cover! Fits the crate like a glove and is really good quality. I paid just under $69 for each crate and I've seen them in stores for twice that. Great crate, great price. The only improvement that I could make on this crate is that I wish the door was adjustable so you could change the swing to the other side. Just happens that with the location of both crates in my home, it would be more convenient if the door swung left to right. Not a huge deal, just would be nice. I had no need to install the partition because both my dogs are adults.

Really sturdy and nice

Item (42 inch variety) arrived on time and the box it was in was easy to open. The item was essentially already put together but it was folded up. You only had to put the back and front wall on which used little hooks to secure it to the base assembly. The item isn't too heavy to move but isn't light enough to fill chintzy. It comes with one divider that you can use to adjust the available room for your dog so it can grow with your dog. It was easy enough to install, it just has 4-5 hooks that secure it to the top of the assembly (cage). My only concerns with the cage is the manner in which the front, back, and divider pieces are secured. The hooks appear to secure the front/back/divider securely enough to keep it together, but I question its ability to maintain its integrity when a big dog might want to get out. Also, the divider attaches at the top of the cage but there's nothing at the bottom from keeping it from swinging if pressed. It was easy enough to throw on a few zip ties for added security and to hold the bottom of the divider down. This isn't enough to warrant taking a star off as it's a very cheap and quick fix to a product that is priced $40 less than what petco/petsmart/walmart is going to offer. If I have to use 50 cents worth of zip ties to save 40 bucks I'm going to. As of right now the item is an absolute easy buy. I will update my review every month or two if there is anything significant to note. My family and I put our new 8 week-old golden retriever in her new bed last night and when she is an adult I will definitely update the review to indicate its (the cages) longevity. Thanks for reading. Nick

This dog crate is great for my dog. It’s really easy to put together and keep clean, which is a huge plus. I feel good knowing my dog is safe and comfortable in it. Definitely a solid choice for pet owners looking for a reliable crate. Just a little tip for your dogs well being: It’s essential to use this crate only when you’re away to ensure your dog gets plenty of playtime and interaction. With its secure build and ample space, it’s a great option for providing a safe and comfortable resting place for your pet during your absence. Just remember to balance crate time with quality playtime outside for your dog’s overall happiness and well-being.

Okay so I have a German Shepard (about a year old) that has severe separation anxiety... If I leave her in the house alone, she tears up the couch, knocks my plants over and chews any and every cord she can find. She has destroyed the wall by the door, and I've been saving to replace the door it's self because she'll scratch at it like crazy until someone comes home. So needless to say I needed a crate that was big enough to hold her and sturdy enough to stand up to her. At first this crate was great, I loved the coated bars and it seemed like it was sturdy and working beautifully, but within a few weeks she was able to bend the door inward and has completely destroyed the bottom part, of course that is no fault of the company. She has not figured out a way out yet but I fear that she's on her way. She has not cut herself or anything like that, like some reviewers experienced but it's just not as sturdy as it could be. I think if you have a smaller dog that doesn't mind a crate this would work fine. It's a good crate and I'm still using it, I just wish it was a little sturdier. UPDATE: It's now mid October, so it's been 6 months, and I'm still using the crate. My husband bent the front door part back, (it's a little wavy but...) and took a pair of pliers to the hook sections, Abbie, (my German Shepard) has not found a way out and is now used to the crate. It's working great with a few tweaks to the frame itself. I sometimes have to bend the walls back into the hooks that are supposed to hold them together... but in all she hasn't hurt herself, and it keeps her in place until I get home. Updated stars to 4 from 3....

easy to assemble and my Labrador adapted easily to the crate. The interior size can be adjusted. Size: 36.0"L x 23.0"W x 25.0"H Color: Black Why did you pick this product vs others?: Good price for the size and quality. I bought used and it’s came perfectly new!

Got a puppy and needed a crate to stop the peeing everywhere thing. I used the divider while he was a tiny thing, put his bed in and BOOM- he understood the assignment. As he got bigger, I moved the divider more and more until he no longer needed it. Basically I don't have to buy a new crate and waste money. I got a crate that grows along with your pup! Its amazing! Perfect for trips! Just fold it down and throw it in the trunk. A bit heavy so I leave the tossing in trunk bit to my hubby. Believe it or not, he has a hard time getting it unfolded and then setting it back up... while I take 5 seconds without any issues. I will say it is a snug fit when assembling it, so watch your fingys! I realize that is just common sense but, some need a reminder ;] Also... I may and or may not have gotten another puppy... so... guess who May or May Not need another one of these fabulous crates...? Me..the answer is me 😂 Look, it isn't the best out there I'm sure the brand name ones they over price and sell at the petstores are very nice... but for someone who does not care about brands, this does the job, my dog loves it, I love it, and it's affordable! If you need a crate for a pup getting ready for crate training this is an amazing deal and an amazing product! I thought this a little over a year ago now and it's still perfect.

I love this kennel! We just brought home a 9 week old puppy who’s used to have a metal playpen in the living room of the breeders house. Our puppy is very conferable in it and he can see everything the living room, where he stays during the day if we don’t have him with us. He likes being able to see our adult shepherd and he gets plenty of light. The cage is built strong, easy to setup. The door is easy to open with latches at the top and bottom so there no escaping! I love the plastic pan at the bottom of the cage. It’s conferable for the dog to lay on and if your pup has an accident, it won’t be on your floors! It’s easy to clean up any messes. I originally had bought the largest size because I was at going to use it for our two ducks to sleep in during the night, in our barn. During the day the ducks have free run on the farm but in the evening we need to secure them up because of predators. This kennel would have been perfect size for them but then we got a puppy. So the ducks will continue to stay in a horse stall at night, for now. Our puppy is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi but our very large German Shepard will go in it and lay down when the puppy isn’t in it. Why, don’t know, just because he can. :p I highly recommend this kennel.

Ma chichi Angel ce plaît bien dans sa petite cage 😁

Really happy I bought it, and my 9 weeks old golden seems to love it too. It's easy to fold and unfold, can store it practically anywhere, very sturdy build when unfolded, doesn't wiggle or anything, plastice tray easy to remove and clean, it's not very heavy to carry and there are plastic rollers under the crate to make it easy to roll.

HAPPY WITH CAT CRATE, PERFECT SIZE FOR LARGER CATS, STRONG STURDY MATERIAL

Tip top

Compré la versión grande (42 pulgadas con divisor) para un cachorro de seis meses. La estructura principal viene ya ensamblada, y es fácil de desdoblar para armarla en su posición final. Es algo pesada (como 20kg), pero es sólida. Me pareció que el divisor es un poco difícil de colocar, pero por un lado está bien, pues no debería ser fácilmente desmontable tampoco. Mi cachorro está muy contento en su nueva casita.
