Title: Life Stages Double Door crate
Review: This crate is awesome. It is very well built, sturdy yet not bulky. It folds very easily to store away. The hard plastic tray bottom is sturdy and very easy to clean. The divider that comes with the crate makes it very practical to make smaller and cut the space in half or less for training purposes. Amazon has a great price (or try Wayfair) where most pet stores try to charge about double for the same product.I have never had a crate so was very unsure about what size to order. At first I thought that it would be cruel to put a puppy in a tiny space to allow her sleep comfortably. So I went ahead and ordered the medium size 30" crate for my Boston Terrier puppy thinking that as she grows she will need more room to be comfortable...I was WRONG. Not letting my judgement error affect the rating and still give this product 5 stars. A dog does NOT need a lot of room in a crate to sleep, especially not for crate training. I later found out that the dog only needs enough space to stand up, lay down and turn around in order to effectively crate train your puppy. This crate is very roomy and probably meant for a much bigger dog, like a lab or so.Since it was my fault on the sizing I went ahead and ordered a small size instead of the medium and the small is still too big. Luckily the divider panel that comes included allows me to cut the area down to a smaller space. So as she becomes full grown I can open it up even more and I am still unsure if a Boston Terrier could fill up the small crate but it is a great training tool. After just a week my puppy is really getting used to it and knows she shouldn't handle her "outside business" in her sleeping area.The double door design is perfect for placement of your crate. If you want to get the pup out on one end of the crate or from the side. I use the end because the divider does not allow for the side door use but when opened up it is a nice option.The folding of the unit is very easy and will come in handy when traveling. I had a travel hard plastic crate before but I like the wire design much better as the dog is able to see all around her and seems like she has a little less restrictive confinement that way.The plastic tray bottom slides out easily for cleaning when needed. I also ordered a midwest quiet time pet bed that fits perfectly in the crate but since I have the divider cutting her down to less than half the crate size I am not using that yet. Have a towel folded in the smaller space and this makes it a very comfortable bed for her. On day one she soiled the towel but ever since then she has been able to hold it. Of course, as a young puppy her crate is in our bedroom so when she does have to go out she lets us know and one or two trips out a night allows her to sleep in her crate clean and comfortably. I actually think she is beginning to like it in there after less than a week.Quality construction and practical design on this product. Life stages has the heavier gauge wires than the i-crate but unless you have a very destructive dog probably either will work fine for most dogs/puppies. I would highly recommend this product for crate training your puppy or dog. I would buy again, and did in the smaller size, then just gave the other crate to a friend with a Collie. Great crate, do not hesitate if you are looking to crate train.

Title: I love this crate and so does my dog
Review: 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 buyIf you found my review helpful please click yes on the button below I really appreciate your support for that I intend to leave reviews to help others make decisions prior to purchase taste upon my recommendations or disclosure and I utilize your reviews to help me with my purchases as well. my reviews are honest factual and accurate thank you

Title: 9 years going strong
Review: I bought this crate for my 45 pound setter in 2015 and have never had issues. It is easy to fold up for travel and durable for when it’s set up. I will say my dogs are not escape artists. They do paw at the crate sometimes or dig at their bed if they hear thunder, but they’ve never come close to getting out and love going in on their own. See attached video of my girl curling up on her own with the door open. I bought 2 more of a larger size in 2020 since we had multiple dogs and we have had no issues at all with all 3. I would stand by this brand for sure. We have moved a lot and it’s a dream being able to fold it up so easy for moving. Also, when they were pups, it was so nice to use the divider for house training and to slide the tray out for cleaning. Can’t say enough about how good these crates have been! Setter approved! Downsides that don’t bother me that others may not like is the sound of the metal clanging when they paw at it or just when opening the doors. Also, there are two latches, not one, but I feel it makes it more secure. I also love that there are 2 doors. Very convenient when we rearrange the room to have multiple options on which side to let them out.

Review: Ottimo acquisto, solida , comoda e facile da sistemare ovunque, grazie anche alla doppia porta. Io l'ho presa per un gattino in convalescenza dopo un intervento e ci entra tranquillamente la lettiera e le ciotole per cibo e acqua. Per quanto riguarda queste ultime, consiglio quelle da agganciare alle pareti laterali , così che il vostro animale non le possa rovesciare : io personalmente ho preso delle ciotole per uccelli perchè non sono molto profonde e il gatto riesce a mangiare nonostante il collare elisabettiano. Facile anche la pulizia perchè il vassoio si sfila e in ogni caso si lava anche con una salvietta igienizzante, e ci entro direttamente con l'aspirapolvere per levare la sabbietta che inevitabilmente cade.

Review: Easy to assemble. Sturdy and pretty good to look at considering it’s a wire crate. Perfect for my toy cavapoo. She’s really taken to it. Room for her bed and pee pad which she uses during the night so far it’s been a success 🤞
