Great crate!!
While we are waiting for our two bonded Bichons to arrive from a rescue, we order this crate so that both of them could be together when we are gone. Then we had a carpenter build a table over it to make it look more like furniture and placed it in the living room. That way, when we are gone, we can turn on the TV and give them a cozy place to sleep. Very portable, folds nicely.

Super fast shipping also!

Medium fold and carry crate
I really like this crate. It was extremely easy to set up. My puppy does not mind being inside the crate. I also found that both of my cats have enjoyed sleeping in the crate. One of the doors is always open unless the puppy is inside. I highly recommend this crate

It’s like a condo
It’s perfect. Big enough for my Great Pyrenees puppy to grow into. I call it his apartment. Two humans can sit in there comfortably too. It really is spacious lolIt was kind of a literal pain to put together. I got a blood blister on my finger from it getting pinched while assembling. The box is heavy and some of the loops and hooks got bent in shipping. All but one part I was able to bend back into shape.

nice crate for the $$$
I ordered this crate for my GD who outgrew her smaller crate. I read all of the reviews and hoped it would arrive in good condition. When I opened it up, like a coupe of other reviewers mentioned, a few of the loops were bent, and 1 door latch was stuck. It was not difficult for me to bend them back, a couple needed my sons strength to do so. The biggest thing that I felt was wrong with the reviews is the many mentions of it taking 2 people to put together. I am 60 years old, have MS, not a lot of strength-yet I put this crate together by myself. You do need some room to maneuver the panels correctly, yet it was not difficult at all! Read...

Great Size
This is a great size for my Mastiff But it's about 10 to 12 inches TOO TALL she isn't a shetland pony other than that it's Great . The width and length is great just really too tall

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.

Yorkie Approves
The dog crate fits our purpose for our 9month old 8lb Yorkshire Terrier who loves to jump (he out grew his previous crate and almost jump out) so now with a top on and with a nice height we don't have to worry- Over all its a nice crate, heavy top, made well even those its presswood- its strong and bars are well made (he's not strong enough to bend them) Putting it together took 2 ppl in about an hour or so we had it together -- The instructions was ok, had to read it a couple times can become a little confused. Big/Wide enough for his peepadholder/Bed w/Blanket and food bowel--- Overall GREAT Crate!!! Happy Yorkie Happy Family

Pleasantly Surprised
So happy with the quality of this dog crate. It arrived well packed and took less than an hour to put together (I did have help). The sleek finished look was exactly what I was looking for. I know my CoCo, a miniature Schnauzer, will be safe and content in this crate.

Great product
Ordered this crate for our little shorkie and she does very well in it. It is very sturdy, easy to put together and gives her plenty of room to roam around! Would highly recommend!

Great product!
We ordered the small one thinking that would work for our miniature Australian Shepherd and unfortunately it was too small. We called customer service and they refunded us and sent us out the medium that works perfect! She is almost 11 lbs and it is a perfect fit!

The perfect crate and pad!
The perfect weight and shape. The raised edge boosters make my dogs so comfortable. The crate is well-made and sturdy.

pefect crate if using in the car or to travel
I needed a crate for one of my rescues - he was reactive in the car needed something easily put away -- 3-" crate fit perfectly in my forester in the back -- Max fits in it perfectly as well -- might be a tad tight but it keeps him safe and my car safe -- its been great! He is 55Lbs - so medium to large size dog and he can stand it it and turn around in it - just can't put his head all the way up -- which is okay!

Soft sided crate
My two Havanese share the Med/large and the love it. The are quiet all night long and are not active in it. I am looking forward to the ease of set up and fold up when we travel. Much easier than their metal crate. And much lighter fir me to carry.

Great Quality!
We needed a crate that we could travel with and this is the perfect one. I was surprised at how great the quality was for the price. It is easy to assemble and put away and it comes with a handle when folded up for easy carrying.

Huge crate
I bought this crate for our new puppy that is a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. We met the parents and knew our girl was going to be huge, so I got the biggest crate for her comfort. I bought this one because of the price and because we needed a crate with a door on the side. Where we have it set up we are unable to use the door on the short side. The box it came in was extra large, super heavy and awkward to get up the front steps to my porch and then into my house, but at 5' 5" I managed to do it by myself. The crate was super easy to set up, it even came with the divider piece that is simple to install and we can slowly increase the...

Wire Crate
Great wire crate for the price. We are required to have a wire crate for each dog at our apartments for when maintenance has to come over and these work perfectly.

I love my Frisco, and I own two!!
I recently purchased a second L-42" crate. The brand was Paws and Pals. The quality of the wire guage was significantly inferior to the Frisco brand. I normally only engage the top latch when I place my dog in his crate, which is what I did when I placed him in the Paws and Pals crate, and he was able to escape.The larger the crate/dog, the stronger the wire gauge should be. I'd like to say that you get what you pay for but both brands cost the same. If I ever need a third crate, I'd buy Frisco all day long!!

Nice carrier
Arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. was too small for my cat but happy with customer service I received.

Sturdy & Perfect Size
Bought the medium size for my newly adopted cat when I went to go pick him up. It's spacious and deep enough so my cat could curl up and feel safe. Took less than 5 minutes to put together of just screwing the bolts and attaching the door. Super helpful that there a top door, too! The animal rescue owner also commented how nice the carrier is. Planning to buy another for her rescue. :)

Great for Travel and Napping
This carrier arrived quickly. It was easy to assemble and before I could place a cushion inside, Myles the 39" 15.5 pounds Lynxpointe Siamese crawled in and went to sleep. Xena, who turns 19 this month enjoyed her trip to the veterinarian in the carrier. Whenever she leaves it, she pushes the front door closed and also knows how to open it.
