Hard not to like,
July 21, 2009
by NattieN
from Michigan
Pros: 3 doors Cons: heavy
"I bought the 42" crate for my 60 lb Boxer/Shepherd mix. The sizing guide suggests the size smaller for this weight, but I'm glad I sized up. I love the 3 doors on this crate. It allows me to place it lengthwise up against the wall, which is a great space saver. I can still let the dog out the side door, which is now the front I guess. It affords a lot of options when it comes to placing it around the house.
My only complaint is that some of the bars came bent. One of the hooks that keeps the front panel in place was actually broken and the broken ends were coated in the paint (meaning it was broken during manufacturing and not during transit.) So quality control is not 100%, but I wasn't about to package the 45lb crate back up and bring it back to the store. The crate seems to function fine despite the fault. It has even more hooks than my previous crate, which my dog was able to pull the panels down and escape from, so I use locks through the hooks anyway.
Despite not coming in perfect condition, I still really like this crate. It looks relatively nice, and it feels sturdy. Ultimately, the 3 doors just can't be beat. I'd buy this crate again even if it still came slightly damaged - it's that convenient."

Poor Quality,
June 25, 2009
by jeansandflipflops
from Antioch, IL
"After putting the crate together I noticed some of the wires were bent already. Then when I tried to close the latches, they wouldn't match up, so I had to lift up on the door and then slide them over. The latch does not slide very easy either. It's just too much drama on the first day. I'm taking it back!"

Puppy Loves Her Crate,
February 2, 2009
by PourPete
from Pepperell, MA
Pros: easy to move around the house. Cons: divider was hard to put in; a very tight fit.
"Our Miniature Schnauzer puppy loves her crate. She took to it within minutes of bringing her home, and it is definitely her den. The first week or so we kept two of the doors open and she would walk in one door and out the other during her play time. Now we keep one door open during play time and she goes in and out to retrieve favorite toys."

Great buy,
December 4, 2008
by Vemureaux
from Indianapolis, IN
"I bought the 48" crate for my mastiff puppy to grow into. Assembly was straightforward and quick. I love the convenience of having 3 door options; it gives me more versatility in how and where I place such a huge kennel in my home. The divider is great for a growing puppy, or if you want to keep two pets separated in the crate (each with its own door!).
Tip: I do recommend placing a bathtowel underneath the plastic pan to keep it from clanging against the bottom wire panel. It reduces noise.
Overall, both my pup and I are very happy with this crate!"

Three doors make all the difference!,
July 16, 2008
by StretchS
from Washington, DC
"We bought the 36" crate for our recently adopted 1yo corgi and he loves it! He has some anxiety issues so when looking at crates we were mainly concerned about how he would adjust to the crate and whether it would keep him secure when left alone. We're so happy we chose this crate. The three doors made his acceptance of the crate very easy - leaving the doors open not only allows him to wander in and out to explore it without feeling trapped, but when first introducing him to the crate we found it useful to be able to sit at one door and ask him to come to us by entering through another door, then reward him while he was in the crate. Within the first day, he was happily choosing to take naps in it, and by the end of the weekend he could be left alone in it for several hours without any problems. Assembling the crate was fairly easy but we did have some problems getting the top to sit in the way the instructions specified. I also sometimes wonder if he could push the latches up and over with his nose if he REALLY wanted to get out, but so far that hasn't been a problem at all - he seems really content to be in there playing with his toys. Great product!"

Dogs Choice in Crates,
July 1, 2008
by Gryphon
from Florissant, MO
"I purchased one of these crates for my French Bulldog. I couldnt be happier with the ease of assembly and quality of the product. My dog loves being able to enter and exit through the multiple doors, I believe he feels safe, without the confindment of a single door model. I leave it open throughout the day so he can have his own space when he wants to take a break from all the activity in my home. I was so please with this products quality, plus its affordability that I have purchased one for my other dog. After seeing how my dogs love them, there is no other crate I would purchase. You cant go wrong with this one!"

Works wonders,
May 27, 2008
by Specula
from Utica, NY
"I have 2 bull mastives and when I would leave them at home they would rip apart everything in sight. The vet said that they had seperation issues. After I bought them kennels they spend all of there free time in them. One of them refuses to eat anywhere but in her kennel! This is one of the best things I have ever done for my dogs. Now each of them has their own "room"."

Well-designed, sturdy, easy to travel with.,
March 30, 2008
by alexoh
from Blacksburg, VA
"The three door design is great, especially if you have limited space. There are plenty of options for how to situate the crate within a room.
We've travelled with it, and it lies quite flat in the trunk and is fairly easy to assemble and take down (just be careful not to pinch your fingers).
The doors come off and can be put back on easily. We leave the front door off when we're home so our dog can go in whenever she wants. She loves it!
If your dog is properly crate trained and does okay with confined areas, the crate is sturdy and the bars are a good thickness. I stack a lot of stuff on top of the crate without a problem."

This is better than the taxi type for our dog!,
March 24, 2008
by tandt
from Hastings, MN
"We had been putting our puppy (basenji/rat terrier mix) in a pet taxi with the closed sides, and he would have a total fit in it as soon as we put him in it. He stays calmer in the cage, but we have found out that we need to keep him away from items he can pull into the cage and chew up (such as phone cords and newspapers, etc)."

One Great Crate!!!,
March 18, 2008
by NewShilohMommy
from NJ
"My husband and I bought the 48" crate so our 5 month old Shiloh Shepherd can grow into it. The crate is great!!! We started off with the divider in there, but our Shiloh is crate trained, so we recently removed it. I have two small issues with the crate. 1) the crate wasn't as easy to put together as expected. I expected 1-2-3-done. We needed a little muscle hook the walls together. 2) When the dog is moving around in the cage, you hear every click and scratch from his claws or the banging from his collar. We didn't sleep well because the crate was in our bedroom and we didn't have a cushion in there while we were crate training him. Now that he's trained, we bought the Midwest Quite Time Kennel Bed. Definitely buy the pad."

one BIG crate!!!,
February 23, 2008
by CrimsonRibbon
from Portland, Or
"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 accidentally 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 am IN LOVE with this crate.,
February 14, 2008
by MissPrissyPaws
from Alabama
"This crate is the greatest investment that I made when purchasing supplies for my new puppy. She is absolutely in love with it. The three doors on the crate allows me to have easy access to my puppy. Because of the multiple doors, I can put this crate anywhere in my house and still have two doors available to let her in and out. I thought crate training would be hard, and after looking at many crates, I finally decided to buy this one. It is really sturdy and took me all of one minute to put it together."
