Review of Midwest dog crate
This is the second Midwest dog crate I have purchased and they are really well-made and easy to assemble. My four month old German Shepherd puppy is more than happy to go in there when she needs to have some quiet time and although it is a bit big to move around, I’m extremely happy with the quality of the product.

Grows with the dog
Our breeder recommending getting a crate that accommodates our puppy's growth. I like that it has two doors and a separator panel. I currently have it separated to accommodate a 28" x 22" pillow bed. I also have a bed for the entire length once the separator is removed. Sturdy product. Easy to open and close doors. Although there is a tray, it is only used for housing the bed, the crate used for sleeping only.
-
Space with room to grow
I love the size. There is plant of room for him to turn around, stand up, and stretch out. He’s definitely not out growing it. It’s so easy to put together and even easy to take apart when I move next month.

Perfect size for our Great Dane puppy. Bought the divider so he has a smaller space to sleep at night but then room to grow so we aren’t buying multiple crates throughout his life
-
Very spacious
Our puppy is only going to get bigger hopefully this crate will accommodate a Great Pyrenees. So far has worked well and is spacious for 10 week old nugget.

Great
Built well and love that it wasn’t hard to put together. Corners of cage was were bent but we bent them back.

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!

Love this purchase
We purchased this crate for our Boston Terrier. She weighs around 16lbs. She loves it and is very comfortable in it. Easy to assemble and very nice quality. Great addition to our room.

Kennel was perfect!
We were babysitting our fur grandbaby and wanted a kennel of our own so they don’t have to bring hers back and forth. This was the perfect size, plenty of room, easy to set up and take down.
-
HUGE (well I did get the biggest size)
I wanted a cage that was spacious enough for my recovering cat not to feel trapped but still able to provide containment so she doesn’t walk on her bad leg. This cage is so big, it’s like a little cat studio. It’s big enough for a sleeping area, huge litter box and space for water and food
-
Great value
Just needed a small crate for my Chi to eat in peace and to use as a rabbit carrier. Good quality, great price... cheaper than used on Craigslist! I meant to order a double door but messed up on that part. But that's ok, it'll work.

Travel crate
This collapsible small dog crate is perfect for travel! We got the small size and were also able to add a small bed. Puppy loved the ability to open the top and be able to see us when traveling to an unfamiliar place.
-
Fantastic for *Well-behaved* Crate-trained Dogs
Set-up was incredibly simple and under a minute, but takes some upper body strength. The material seems sturdy but not very heavy and well put together. I bought this for an 85 lbs dog as an indoor den and it's pretty perfect with his orthopedic cushion. As other reviewers have pointed out, this crate is meant for pets who are already accustomed to a crate. It wouldn't prevent escape for more than a few minutes if your pet is determined to get out.

Crate is easy to assemble, and the large crate was more than big enough for our Alaskan Malamute and or dog loves it.
Best Collapsible Dog Crate

Sturdy, serviceable crate
It's a sturdy and serviceable crate. I like the double doors because sometimes it's easier to put things in, like crate pads, with the different doors. I have another crate that lifts to latch and that is faster and I can do it one handed. This one is not like that, but is more typical of other crates like it. I'd like the dimensions to be a bit different to allow a thicker crate pad and still allow my pet to stand up.
-
Right size
I purchased this for a new puppy. With having the partition it will allow expansion as she grows. It allows her to see what’s going on in the room too which she likes. It’s been a good purchase thus far.
-
Great crate
We have a one year-old, 55 pound boxer who hasn't filled out yet. He has more to grow and about another 10 to 15 pounds to put on. There's plenty of room to grow into. We love the side door option and the sturdiness of the crate. Our puppy is a tall boy and he can stand up with 6 to 8 inches above his head. We couldn't ask for anything more in his crate.

Love this crate
I had an identical crate for my dog when he was smaller and when he outgrew it I wanted the same one! The front and top openings make it super convenient, it's very sturdy, and was easy to put together.
-
Good size
We took our two kitties home from the shelter and borrowed a couple of these to transport them home. We liked them so much we bought two. They are sturdy, and roomy even for large cats. The top opens up which is super convenient. One of them the top will stay open but the other one the top does not stay open. I didn't mind but that might be some thing to consider if you are planning to load a cat in it without some assistance.

I LOVE my new Petmate Cat Carrier!
I rate this item five stars due to its lightweight, yet durable structure, and the ease of placing my babies inside, either through the top door or the front door! Thank you, Chewy.com for making this purchase so easy and so worth the money!
