Polka Dot Collapsible Dog Crate Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I got this item to take to a specific puppy training class that requires crating when the dog isn't working. I needed the class crate to be easily carried/assembled, big enough to hold my XL puppy, and affordable.

PROS:

1. This crate "assembles" by zipping 2 sections closed. No problem for a person, even working alone. It folds flat and slips into its carrying case with handles.

2. There are open-mesh sections on 3 sides to allow for ventilation. If your dog prefers more privacy, you can lower additional fabric flaps to completely cover the mesh on the sides (the front "door" mesh does not have a way to cover it). The ability to cover the mesh is a good feature if you have a reactive dog who needs to be sequestered from outside distractions.

3. Reasonable price.

CONS:

1. It's big, but still not big enough for the truly giant dog. My puppy is about 30" at the shoulder, 115 lbs, and long in the body. He cannot stand in the crate, and when sitting he has to slouch down like a gargoyle to fit. Lying down, he has to curl up much more than he would normally.

2. I doubt it would contain any dog who isn't a crate-lover. My dog can easily unzip this with his paw, and certainly could tear the mesh open to escape if he wanted to.

My dog is never unattended in this crate since we just use it for class or for dog shows where he simply needs a place to hang out away from the crowd. I would not suggest using this as your primary kenneling method (especially since a standard wire crate can be purchased for not much more). For travel, overnight visits, etc., I think this is a good option---assuming that your doggy is already accustomed to crating.

Overall a good choice for the right dog and situations!

This is more adorable that it even looks in the photo! We just received it today in the small size. It is plenty big enough for my 6 lb. chihuahua, and could easily hold two (if the two would get along with each other). It is like a mini tent with the roll-up windows (velcro to fasten on the sides and rear, tie and velcro in front.) The front and back sections lift up from the inside and are zipped into place. A bottom mat is provided with a sheepskin type covering. Pockets are on the outside of the crate/tent that can hold a few supplies. The top of the crate has a strap to make it easier to carry -but, I have not tried carrying our pup in it. When folded up, the crate fits into a very nice carrying case that also has pockets on the outside of it. I'll try to post photos of it and give an update after we've used it for a week of traveling.

This was much larger than expected for my 30 pound dog, but totally fine with that! It is so easy to set up and the travel case is fabulous!

I bought this to transport my 32 pound / 18" Australian Shepherd girl in the back of my MINI Cooper Countryman. The top wire support comes out via a zipper and the wires for horizontal side supports (that aren't needed) can be removed easily too. So, I was able to reshape this crate into a trapezoid to fit in the cargo area behind the seats. There is no bottom support to make it heavy or to become damaged in the event of an accident or a wet dog. I like this crate. I wish soft crates were available with slanted fronts and backs by design, but until someone make those, I am SO happy I could re-engineer this one to fit my limited space.
