 A wonderful 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! |
Great Crate!

This is wonderful! The handle makes it easy to tote around. Assembly was simple. Cover it with a towel and the puppies loved it! Now they've grown so I've had to buy another...one for each of them now.
Highly recommend this - plus with two doors, you can put it anywhere! |

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.
