Perfect for litter box training
Reviews help me when I am trying to choose a product to buy, so I want to in turn leave a review for others who are in the market for a crate. This is my first crate experience. A few weeks ago I came across a 4 week old kitten that was abandoned in the middle of a busy road. Without any time to prepare I took the kitten in and soon found out that kittens aren't born knowing what a litter box is. Duh moment here, yeah I know. The kitten started doing her bathroom business all over the house, so I confined her to one room until I could ask rescues and vet techs what to do. Every answer given to me was to crate the kitten with a litter box so she will have no other place to go than in the box. That is where my search for a crate started. A crate needed to be large enough for a litter box, food/water bowls and a bed, plus room to move around- and I also consider future use as well once the kitten is an adult cat. I wanted a crate large enough to hold not only a tiny kitten but also a full grown adult cat, comfortably. The Medium size is what I ordered. What I should have ordered is a large though, because I've recently learned of people crating cats to transport them on long distance road trips- I have 3 adult cats, you never know when a crate will come in handy for them. But this is my first crate experience and for the purpose I needed it for a medium works well. The bars are not spaced so far apart that a kitten would get her head stuck trying to get out. An added bonus is the front and side doors that both open with a large enough space to move around a litter box or clean inside the crate very easily. Set up was very easy, no tools required and it feels sturdy enough that it would hold against a medium size dog, but since I have cats I can't say how strong the crate would be against a dog- I can say that my kitten hasn't managed to jail break though. There is a heft to the crate, it is not light weight and does move easy with 2 handles that are included. I've attached a picture so others can see how much space is inside this crate with a small litter box, a food/water container snapped onto the bars and a medium size dog bed on top. I used the divider to create a 2nd floor to the crate so my kitten won't be sleeping right next to her litter box. So far my kitten is very comfortable spending nights in her crate. I'd recommend this crate to others who have either a small breed or medium size dog and of course those who are litter box training or need to crate a cat/kitten for any reason. Quality is great here and I am very happy with my purchase. In the future I want to get the large crate just in case there's ever a reason to crate my adult cats for either a move or medical. This crate also folds down easy, slips back into the box without hassle and stores away for when not in use.

    I purchased many many crates for my dogs in the past 45 years, I bought the cheapest and I bought the most expensive. You used to have to get them at the pet store and pay anywhere from $90-$200 for standard great. Thank goodness for Amazon. I just added to my "stable" of dogs with an eight-week-old golden retriever named Bentley. Now he's just a little guy weighing in at 12 pounds but he will get bigger. Right now he fits in a small crate and I mean fits. He can get in it but he can't lay down or turn around. I needed to get him a crate he can grow into so I went online to Amazon and looked around. I saw my old friends Midwest who stood by me with durable crates during my dog show days. They always made a sturdy crate out of heavy-duty material that was well engineered and well put together. It's been a few years since I bought a crate and a few things have changed. Pretty much now everybody offers a folding crate that wasn't so back in the day Midwest was one of the first to offer that feature and they did it well and they still do. They have a variety of sizes more so than most manufacturers so I chose the middle middle size which is a little bigger than other manufacturers middle size. Some of the features I like was this one has double doors, one on the side and one on the end. Each closes and locks sturdily and securely with two hasps on each door. Nowadays the bottom tray is made of plastic instead of steel so with a little lighter and more resistant to corrosion and easily cleaned. I ordered this crate and it came promptly from Amazon as I am an Amazon prime member. It was packaged well and arrived without damage and I had it set up in less than 5 min.. The only problem was the location where I was going to use it was against a wall and the doors were all wrong. Well I solved that by swapping the ends by bending back four hooks on each end, then squeezing them tight again to finish up, this took all of 3 min. to do in my crate or I should say that Bentleys crate was ready to go. One of the big advantages of having the second door is that when I wanted to introduce Bentley to crate I left both doors open so he could wander in and out at his leisure. I placed a few toys and water bowl in their as well as a wee wee pad and some bedding. He was curious and wandered in and out. I will admit however, the first night he was full of screams and barks and crying for most of the night. It was his first night in a crate. The second night I placed him in the crate and he laid down and was quiet until early morning. When he saw me and heard me moving around a little bit he started vocalizing so I took him out. The Crate also comes with a divider so you can change the size as your dog grows. At this point I'm not even using divider and giving Bentley full run of the crate. I am really glad that Amazon is selling these and the price is phenomenal. If you go to a pet store I'm sure you will easily over $150 for this crate or poorly made imitation. I really recommend Midwest and I think you'll be very happy with the quality and the operation of this crate. if you're a first-time buyer, check the AKC standards for how big your dog will be, then buyer accordingly. Don't buy too small as you will have to buy bigger later on. I give this five stars I love it I know you will too and it's recommended buy

    Solid crate for sure! I purchased this for my corgi puppy to grow into. I absolutely love the wall that comes with it. It was a little harder to put together than I was expecting. The gauge of wire for the crate is thick and the connections are solid. It’s all one piece, pops in place but maneuvering all the walls together took time. The latch is smooth and I haven’t had problems with it locking either.

    While it’s not the prettiest or more aesthetically pleasing looking crate - it’s fits perfectly under our bay window in the living room. The puppy is safely locked up and potty training is going so well!

    Once it’s together it seems great. I emphasize ONCE IT IS TOGETHER. There were many, many $:,).$,!!@ thrown about putting it up. I really wanted to give it to stars by the end, but it isn’t fair to the quality and use of the product.

    First off, just so you’re aware, it is extremely heavy. About 75 pounds? So just a heads up for some people.

    Secondly, the box is stapled with large staples and taped all around. At least mine had tape, which may be because I got the “very good“ condition. You will want to lay it on its side on the floor and open the whole box, because if you try to just pull it out it doesn’t work very well. First cuss word.

    Once you were able to pull it out, then the fun begins. I suggest reading the instructions first. You may think it’s an easy thing just a pop-up, but please read the first paragraph and see the picture with my cut thumb. Rookie mistake.

    You have to unhook it from itself to open it up. That was fairly tight. Second cuss word. Now it gets interesting. You pull the sides up but you need to balance it up against some thing like a wall or another solid object. Or have someone hold it. Otherwise, it will collapse upon you.

    Sounds very simple to just pull up the ends doesn’t it? Not so. Fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh cuss words. Now the reason I cut my thumb is because I did not read the instructions. Once the end is pulled up, there are hooks on top, and you will want to simply press down on the roof to latch them over. Do not try to just flip them over with your fingers. Your thumb may or may not get caught in between the metal and cause a strain of cuss words. Lesson learned. Another rookie mistake.

    If you got the one with a divider, this is where you can completely lose your mind. I also suggest you lock your puppy up, if that’s who your kennel is for, in a place it cannot eat the box and try to get in the kennel you are attempting to put together. That’s here nor there.

    The divider is made of the same metal as the kennel. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Anyway, there are hooks on both sides that you will maneuver inside the kennel and try and hook on the sides. This was the most frustrating part because the hooks would get caught on some of the places it needed to be while the others were catching on other places. This isn’t a simple just pull out and readjust. Because the other side will get caught on the metal squares. At some point, it was diagonally jammed in there and while you try to yank one side to get it out, it’s just a mess of catching on things.

    What I learned: when trying to connect it close to the end door, I found that the divider hooks would come up on the side door and it seemed the bottom one had no easy way to connect. I decided to move it further back just to avoid this problem. Hook them all on the one side you want, and then go to the other side while keeping tension on the divider, then pull the divider towards you while pushing the side towards the hooks to get them around. Now I know this is just my personal experience, so you may have better luck.

    It seems like a very solid kennel, and I do like the two doors. Like other reviewer’s, however, the ends of the metal where it is cut is sharp. I think I will try to file them down a little bit. I wish they would have rounded them or filed them down.

    By the end, I was sweating profusely, apologized to no one at home about my cursing, while at the same time being thankful nobody witness to this process, and then flopped on the couch to immediately write this review. :). Please note that this is an a jovial tone and not sheer anger and disgust at this thing. I do like that you can divide it for smaller puppies.

    Great kennel! But oh the setup… instructions - read them

    Once it’s together it seems great. I emphasize ONCE IT IS TOGETHER. There were many, many $:,).$,!!@ thrown about putting it up. I really wanted to give it to stars by the end, but it isn’t fair to the quality and use of the product.

    First off, just so you’re aware, it is extremely heavy. About 75 pounds? So just a heads up for some people.

    Secondly, the box is stapled with large staples and taped all around. At least mine had tape, which may be because I got the “very good“ condition. You will want to lay it on its side on the floor and open the whole box, because if you try to just pull it out it doesn’t work very well. First cuss word.

    Once you were able to pull it out, then the fun begins. I suggest reading the instructions first. You may think it’s an easy thing just a pop-up, but please read the first paragraph and see the picture with my cut thumb. Rookie mistake.

    You have to unhook it from itself to open it up. That was fairly tight. Second cuss word. Now it gets interesting. You pull the sides up but you need to balance it up against some thing like a wall or another solid object. Or have someone hold it. Otherwise, it will collapse upon you.

    Larger than I thought it would be. Room for bed and toys, but our dog is just a pup for now. Seems sturdy. I like it.

    4 month old Australian Sheppard
    36" crate
    Tons of room for my little guy to grow in to. Comes with a growth divider but I won't be using it. Ample space for him to stretch out, yet not too much that he will mess in it. I also have two other Standard Aussies and they have both checked it out. It's his safe space where he relaxes and unwinds (thank god)!! The quality of this crate is comparable to the top brand names, but priced far less. Highly recommended.
