Nice crate, and Chewy is the best!
We ordered this crate in the XL size. The first crate arrived damaged. Chewy had a new one at our doorstep within a few days, and they told me to just donate the other one. Chewy customer service is outstanding! This crate is solid. Easy to set up, and seems like good quality upon my first impression. Overall I am pleased with the purchase and I love Chewy!

Well made crate.
This crate was well thought out and sturdy! Easy to assemble. Two doors make it versatile. Collapses flat for easy storage. Love to support an American company!

Great crate! And great customer service from the manufacturer & Chewy
Sturdy enough for our nutty Siberian Husky, yet easy to set up and move around. This is our 4th crate from MidWest and we couldn't be happier. After we had a problem with the 2nd one (it arrived damaged in shipping), I called MidWest and then sent out a replacement pan immediately. They were friendly and very professional. Between the manufacturer and Chewy's exceptional service, you can't go wrong.

Crate was attacked by a bull, survived. Durability 10/5
If I could give this crate a 10 out of 5 on durability, I would. I bought this crate back in 2019 when our mastiff needed two CCL surgeries. It was the perfect size - he had plenty of room to sit up or lie down, even with bowls of food and water. We have since used it multiple times for our livestock. Chicken injured? Medical crate. Piglets to pick up? Transport crate. This crate has sat outside for months through rain and snow and never rusted. What prompted me to write this review though is we recently filled the crate with alfalfa to transport few animals. A stray bull came by during the night and dragged/tossed that crate across...

Size
This is perfect for my lab that likes to.stretch out when she sleeps. It is sturdy and I love that.it can open from the side or the front. I can fit her large size bed inside it with no problem. Well worth the price !

Big upgrade for my girl.
The normal XL kennel didn't give enough room for my girl. She's wonderful when I'm home but she has a bit of separation anxiety and does better with more room. It's huge and she actually likes it. Easy to put together and came in quick. Definitely love.

Love that this doubles as my night stand with plenty of room for my stuff and our puppy's safe space and bedroom. He loves it and it makes him feel secure.

LOVE BODHI'S AIRBNB!
Adopted my FIRST PUPPY EVER at 70! Wanted the best of everything for him. I was nervous, after reading the reviews, but ordered it anyway, because I love Frisco's other products I have for my cats. It came in perfect order, with simple clear-cut directions. I put it together, taking my sweet time, and BY MYSELF, in about 3 hours. Not a single problem. And - it's as lovely as it looks. My grown children joke that, of course, their pup-brother has the best home, and they call it his AIR BNB! It is nice looking and sturdy. It will outlast our needs, and the next puppy's who is lucky enough to inherit it.

Love my new house!
I'm a service dog (hearing) so I sleep with my door off. Not problem taking it off and my house is WONDERFUL!

Perfect for Large Dogs!
My 75lb pit lab mix has room for days in this crate! It’s actually bigger than his wire crate. Super easy to set up and break down. Very light weight so travel friendly.

Perfect at home & on the go crates
We’ve had these crates for a few years now and we love them. We use them both at home & on our travels - we can get them down & popped back up really quickly and they fit nicely in the trunk of our car. We are typically not very careful with them when we take them down & put them back up (doing it quickly & shoving their beds in there too), so overtime you can see the wear & tear, but I think that’s due to our handling of them. If you want them to last longer, remove the bed/mat when you close it up. Additionally, I like the multi-entry option (side for narrower & front for wider). We’ve used both ways depending on where we need to...

Great quality
Crate is sturdy,holds our 100 lb Pyr without any issues. Side door is handy for when she gets her bunny stuck lol

Quick delivery and a good quality dog crate as well.
Our dog got used to this crate very quickly- love the divider as he is only a puppy but will grow into the full size of the crate very soon!

2 doors to access from different sides.
This crate is sturdy, easy to use, and I added the Frisco dog bed which is soft and cushy. She misses her litter mates so I put 2 stuffed teddy bears in the crate and she’s cozy, sleeps through the night

Top-load feature is amazing
I purchased this kennel for my newly adopted cat, knowing that getting him into a kennel would be a nightmare since we don’t know each other well. The top load feature is a lifesaver, especially since he has a leg injury (we found him outside as a stray) and he needs to go the vet often for treatment. This top load feature ensured he was placed into the kennel gently without further hurting his leg. He’s been in the kennel multiple times now, and it truly feels like the top load feature helped him gain the trust of the kennel. He’s isn’t afraid of it. I purchased the 24” size to give him ample room to stretch out when he sleeps in...

Just right!
We bought this kennel because our 10-month-old Tzu Shih Bichon mix had gotten taller than her puppy crate would accommodate. This one is roomy enough for her to sit or stand in without touching the top. We love the top door for trips in the car, too!
-
It's the color!
I have a larger furlove and he just didn't fit into my older cat kennel. So, of course, Chewy always has what you need! I found this two-door top/front load cat kennel and it was just the answer for my Tuxedo, Nazare'. It fits him perfectly and I also bought a Chewy velvety cushion to make him all the more comfortable while inside. I really like this kennel and so does Nazare' - even though he knows where we're going when I get it out...(to the Vet!) Thanks Chewy, for always having what I need, when I need it.
