I got the large size crate (recommended for Golden Retrievers and Chows) for my 85 pound German Shepherd. This crate is roomy to put it nicely. There is enough room in the crate for both of my dogs (the 85 lb shepherd and another 70 pound shepherd) side by side. The crate is almost as big as my large kitchen table! As long as you aren't short on space, this is great but if you have a small apartment this crate is really going to limit your space. It seemed to have thick gauge wires when I saw it at the store but after taking on a road trip where it had to be folded and it got kneeled on while packing it up, the wires are bent. It still functions when open, but the clips that are designed to hold it shut when folded are mangled beyond repair. In it's defense though, the big dog inside paws it when she wants out and she hasn't damaged it. The three doors make it more versatile but each door only opens one direction so you still have to be thoughtful about where you are placing it, especially with it's size. It is very easy to remove the doors and put them back on. It's very roomy and luxurious, but very large and heavy and could definately have thicker gauge wires to make it more durable.

I'm not sure I could recommend this crate due to the poor quality of the pan on the floor. I have had my crate for just over a year and the crate itself has held up well, even with my 100 lb. Newfoundland sleeping in it every night. The problem is the pan has cracked in several places and when I checked the price of a replacement pan I was appalled that it would cost around $65 just for that cheap plastic pan. In reading other reviews on different sites I see that it is common for the pan to crack.

I bought 2 36" crates for my 50 lb dogs. They were shipped in the original boxes, which were beat up a little during delivery, but the crates were not damaged at all. It took me less than 5 minutes to set up the crates. It was a bit like a puzzle, but not difficult to do. Just to give you a little background, I'm a 5'1" 118lb female and yes, the crates are heavy, but that's the point. HEAVY duty wires will be heavy. It was awkward moving them when they were set up but hey, the crates are larger than I am and it was easy enough for me to do! Folded up, I can certainly carry them and put them in the trunk by myself (not to be mean, but maybe some people should lift some weights). I like that both of them fit easily into the trunk of our Altima. I am thinking of taking the two side doors off and sandwiching the two crates together. My dogs like to sleep together and they can go back and forth if they want some space. I actually wanted to get one large crate for both of them, but it wouldn't fit into the trunk and my husband wanted the dogs to have more room.

PROS: 3 removable doors, pewter finish, easy to set up, appears to be made of heavy duty wire (my dogs are not chewers, but we will have to see how well they last with repeated use--breaking down for travel and nightly use for sleeping), plastic pan slides out easily but can also be locked into place

Things to consider: One of the hooks was bent, but I used some pliers to bend it back easily (I also used cardboard to protect the pewter finish), one of the door latches sticks a little (but it's not a big deal), the doors are a little difficult to put back on because you have to line it up perfectly (but also not a big deal)

CONS: None that I know of but again, we'll see how well they last with use.

Honest reviews on Midwest Select Triple-Door Dog Crate

I purchased the 24" crate for my toy breed dog that should be arriving this spring. This crate is intended for a Morkie (Yorkshire/Maltese Mix). I expect the dog to reach an adult weight of 8 to 11 lbs based on his parents' size. The 24" crate should suffice for the dog's entire life. The included divider will allow me to create just enough space for the dog as he grows (so as to avoid soiling in the crate). Tip: dogs will not defecate in their crate if there is just enough space for them to sleep/stand up/stretch out. I tested this crate with my mother's dogs (a yorkshire terrier at 10 lbs, and a bichon frise at 14 lbs) and both were able to stand up and sleep in the crate comfortably. Also, these two dogs love to stretch out in all sorts of positions when they sleep, and the crate accommodated them well.

On to the crate itself...this crate arrives folded down. There are two clips that hold the crate in its locked position. Unlock these clips and the crate's ceiling and 2 walls lift up creating a box. Then lift the remaining two walls, and you're set. The crate is sturdy when assembled. The pan is sufficient...I see that some people had problems with their pan cracking, but I imagine that it should not be a problem for smaller, lighter breeds.

I plan to purchase a crate cover that will complete the den like feeling dogs love. Keep in mind that you will need to purchase some type of bed to place in this crate. I strongly recommend purchasing the "west paw nature nap" available here on amazon. It costs more than the typical fleece bumper bed you typically buy for crates, but it lasts forever! My mother's dogs are 11 years old and we bought their west paw beds 6 years ago. The beds have been washed numerous times and they still appear new.

I strongly recommend this crate, both for its material and design. Having a door on the side wall allows placement options in my home. I'm currently in Manhattan, New York City, so having this placement option in my apartment is very important for me. The third door is nice to have, as well. I'll update this in 8 to 10 months and share my experience with the crate.

I am very pleased with this crate. It erected easily within moments, is extremely sturdy and big enough for all but, possibly, the giant breeds. My Rottweiler can lie down stretched out, if that is her preference, and can stand up without hunching over. She loves this crate far better than her plastic airline type crate as she has better visibility and I believe that she feels less confined. It is also much cooler in the heat of the summer than the plastic crate.

The only caveat that I would add is, if your pooch is an escape artist, you might want to put an additional clip or two on the door. The fasteners are fine for most dogs but I know my Border Collie would figure a way to open that door in no time flat. This is not a major criticism, by any means---I heartily recommend this crate. Also, the price is good when you consider the free shipping. I've seen this item listed for much less money but by the time you add the shipping (this crate is heavy!), you will pay the same or more. Also, it arrived in about a week so no complaints there.

This is a nice dog crate. It folds up easily to transport. It includes a divider, so that one can adjust the size of the crate as the puppy grows. The divider is a bit of a pain to install and adjust, but it works well. The crate also has a pull out tray at the bottom. The tray is easy to remove for cleaning. The crate also has some removable handles. They work well when the crate is set up and you want to move it across the room, but I haven't found a good way to attach the handles when the crate is folded up. Overall, I am happy with the purchase, and delivery was very fast.

On December 5, I bought a 36/24/27, single door, dog crate to prepare for our lab puppy to be picked up on Christmas Eve. Do to unfortunate circumstances, our puppy came home on December 8th! The following day the Midwest Life Stages Crate arrived I was so very happy to receive it so soon. I noticed the pan had been cracked in shipping and notified the seller, JB Wholesale Pet Supplies.

Not only did JB Wholesale Pet Supplies, send a replacement pan right out in the mail, but they actually called me on the phone and apologized for any inconvenience, talked with me about puppy training, and wished us well with our new puppy.

The crate training is working well, the Lab is safe and our socks get respite! The Life stages divider is really a good idea. I would certainly do business with J. B. Wholesale Pet Supplies again what a great company!

Honest reviews on Midwest Life Stages Single-Door Folding Metal Dog Crate

Midwest's crates come in three "duty" ratings, light, medium, and heavy which correspond to their iCrate, Life Stages, and Ultima Pro lines respectively. The higher duty rating comes from heavier wire being used in the same sized crate.

Midwestpetproducts.com website states the following:

"Midwest provides the perfect home for every breed and temperament.

Light Duty: For new puppies that will be crate trained from the start and for breeds with a mild temperament.

Medium Duty: for older puppies and breeds with an average temperament.

Heavy Duty: for adult dogs that have never been crate trained and for active breeds."

Wish they identified the duty rating clearly with their different product lines.

I looked at several brands and types of crates for my soon to arrive Doberman puppy before deciding on this one. I was considering a soft crate as an option but after I spoke with a few people who had their puppy chew right through them I decided that would be a bad choice. I couldn't see a reason to have multiple doors so I decided the single door Midwest seemed like the best solution for me.

I purchased a size he can grow into when he is older because even as an adult my dogs use a crate for a peaceful area of rest and safety. Most crates now days do come with a divider and the one that comes with this crate works well but it will take a minute or two of wrestling with it to put it in place. Although this crate is a larger size is was very simple and quick to set up and is plenty sturdy. The door opens, closes and locks smoothly. The tray in the bottom is easily removed if needed and the crate doesn't rattle or shake. It is not a crate you would want to pack on a trip due to the weight and size unless you had a BIG motor home but for home use it is perfect. The dog bed that Midwest offers for this crate is a good option and seems sturdy enough for the money (we have washed in three times in a few weeks with no wear and tear).

I would just like to close this review by reminding anyone that is considering crate training to PLEASE do it! Your dog will be happier, you will house break him/her quicker and you will be able to control the time you have to watch your best friend so they don't get into anything harmful that could cause serious injury.

Took it to its first agility trial. It is easy to set up and take down and is sturdy. A little heavy but the sturdiness is worth it. (again remember if you have a puppy or chewing dog start with a metal crate until you trust them not to destroy your soft crate ANY soft crate)

I have a Brittany and a Border Collie about 40 lbs and 21" high. They both fit comfortably (not together; separately)

Best Deals for Dogit Deluxe Soft Crate with Bag for Pets, Medium, Blue

This crate did not make it one night with our 13 week old puppy. So if you have a young dog/puppy consider purchasing a folding wire crate it works, it lasts, and it folds even easier.

This item looks great online, but just wasn't made to take ANY type of "abuse" from a young dog. My dog easily nosed open the zipper and then he proceeded to chew a hole through two spots in this. If you have an older dog who is fine with being in a crate, even for short periods, who will just go in and lie down and sleep, then this crate will be fine. Otherwise, heed my warning DO NOT PURCHASE this crate... it looks great but will not last the day not durable!

I bought this for our maltese who doesn't weigh 10 lbs. The first time I put her in it, she was out in no time. She had chewed through the mesh and gotten out. She is 10 years old and doesn't chew any more but she was able to get out within 10 minutes. Obviously I need to get a metal kennel for her.

This was a most pleasurable and easy way to train my puppy to let me know she wants to relieve herself. I just walked her over to the door, have her the Sit command, held my finger to the bell until she followed and touched her nose to it, at that exact moment I said "Potty" in a cheerful tone, and out the door we were! After the third time of this exercise, she had it down perfectly. Now, while I'm otherwise engaged with daily chores, she lets me know she needs to go out by ringing the bell. A simply intuitive, easy, and pleasant way to train your pet!

This is a great manufacturing company. Their sizing is what it says it is going to be. This particular vest is medium weight with a water resistant top and lined with a light weight anti pill fleece. The neck as well as the underbelly straps are out of durable Velcro. The underbelly strap lays well forward so male dogs won't accidentally wet on it. My Jack Russell terrier mix wears this vest without any problems to pulling or scratching. I highly recommend this vest and this manufacturer.

If you need to keep a pet out of an area or off a piece of furniture, this works! Our cat was leaving us "presents" in the basement when we went out. After replacing 2 sofas and 2 area rugs we were desperate it was this or get rid of the cat. The hallway to the rec room was narrow enough that she had to step on the mat to get into the room. She got a small shock the first time, tested it once more (gingerly) and never attempted entering the room again. We have ordered more to leave on sofas as well. My kids friends (teens) think it is hilarious to trick one another into stepping on it so it can't be too painful...? Anyways, for pets, it works, teens, not so much!

I was hoping this would come pre-assembled. No such luck. It was a chore to put together. I did put it together myself and was completely finished in 3 to 4 hours. I found the directions to be rather confusing and hard to follow. I ended up tossing them aside and put it together based on the one front picture (on the directions). Once I got the frame put together and standing up (which took awhile), I put on the wire fencing. From the previous comment, I was kinda worried about the wire fencing. The fencing was very easy! It came bundled up very neatly and easily unwound. Before I picked it up or moved it, I found one of the ends(sides) and slipped the skinny rod through it. I then picked it up vertically and attached the one side to the frame and then unwound it around the frame to the other side and attached it. It went so smoothly and easily. I couldn't believe it. It fit perfectly. I do agree with the previous comment that I wish the wire ties were a bit longer . . .but they do work fine. Overall, a very nice looking kennel and will last forever. I am very happy with it.

Very pleased with the quality of the product and much of the assembly went very well. The frame assembly is easy , but the problems begin when you start working with the chain link. Although the chain link was securely folded and wired so it would not unravel, it still was a bit of a tangled mess that took at least 45 minutes to unroll and lay out correctly. The stretching of the chain link over the kennel frame was a bit problematical as well, as there was too much length in the chain link roll and it would not attach properly due to the lack of tension. I had to cut and stretch the chain link twice in order to get it to fit right. The wire fasteners were also a bit of a chore to use to secure the chain link to the top and bottom of the cage a bit more length on these fasteners would have been nice. However, once assembled it is a good looking, solid unit that should give many years of service.

This was the perfect solution for our cat. We had plenty of room for his litter box, floor bed, two sets of stacked tables for him to climb upon for exercise, and a lounge area at the top! He loves it! We love it! He's protected at night and from getting into fights at certain times of the day. Best of all is the door so we can enter to feed him, service the litter box, and love him when he is not allowed out. When he is tired and finished running around the yard and up the trees he marches back into his kennel for a snack and snooze.

The frame went together easily enough, but the chain link didn't unroll all that well so the whole project took some 4 hours. The "hooks" could use some redesigning. In the end it was well worth the effort. Allow time and be patient!
