MidWest iCrate 30" Double Door Folding Metal Dog CrateWe are selling our home and have frequent visitors coming to look at the house. Each time we pack up our two cats and leave. Our cats are nearly 20 pounds and pretty old. One will use the bathroom in the car if not in a cage or cat carrier.We needed a cage that would allow us to put in litter box!This cage has worked beautifully. Kitty in the small carry box mewed the whole hour we were gone; kitty in I Crate cage was quite contented and used the litter box during our outing.We have ordered a second I Crate for kitty number two, just so she will be happy and quiet!The cage really has reduced our anxiety about moving. Not only can we relax now during buyer visits to our house, but we now know how our cats will travel the six hours it will take to get to our new location.

This crate is a great value for the average dog! I use these crates for my own working dogs over night sleeps.Even if one gets destroyed, they are afforable enough to replace.I’d recommend, squeezing ALL the clips closed on crate. Even the most docile dog could get this crate to collapse or open with little to no effort.

I have this single-door variety in two sizes, 24" for my huge, ~13 lb Yorkie, & 22" for my smaller-than-average Bichon, who's ~5 lbs at 7 months now but will likely be less than 10 lb. Overall, I really like these crates.First, I prefer the "24 & might size up for my Bichon when she's full sized. There are two handles with the "24, & it feels much sturdier than the "22. If your dog is on the cusp in size, & you have the space, I recommend going for the larger one between the two.The dogs are in during the day, for bed, long car trips, & extended beach trips & camping. They were crate-trained using these, as well. They are a snap to clean & are large enough to provide welcoming space for the dogs. I've had the larger one for over a year & it's worth its weight in gold. It's well-traveled & well-used, & it holds up. The smaller one looks like it should hold up as well.One weirdness is that my Yorkie can seemingly get out somehow, & my Bichon has learned how to open the door from the outside to boot. The former seems really unlikely, but it's happened about 4 times in the last month, so I think it's unlikely that we've not shut it properly that many times. Luckily, it's only occurred when we're home & things were really exciting. Otherwise, both dogs get in them to relax, work on a favorite treat or toy, & of course, sleep.I wish there was some way to "lock" them a bit more, however, aside from just sliding the lever, as I am a bit worried about what could happen camping or outside of home. We'll definitely figure out a solution prior to our next excursion, but if anyone has experienced the same issue & has tips, please comment below!

When we got our 2 American Eskimo Dogs from Eskie Rescue recently, our Rescue owner let us borrow her #2 24” Aspen crates, which were fine for our new dogs to get them home. They were comfortable, and both dogs could lie down in them for their 2.5 hour journey home.Several days later, when I ran a search for the Aspens, they were expensive, even around the holidays, during which many items on sale. The reviews for the Midwest ICrate, however, caught my eye: the price for a 30” crate was much cheaper than the 24” Aspens AND they were on sale. ICrate is also an American company based in Muncie, IN, and it has been in business for over 90 years. Buying anything American is a boost for US workers and businesses. Even though these ICrates are manufactured in China, they are made with exacting US standards/ assurances and Quality Control 6-Sigma Lists, to ensure the best quality products.When I read the reviews of the ICrate, the price was great and so was the product. We bought 2 of them.Here are the specifications for the ICrate Model 1530: 30” (L) X 19: (W) X 21” (H); Weight: 18 lbs. This crate is made for breeds that weight 26-40 lbs. (Our Eskies weigh 23 and 25 lbs.) Even though a standard Eskie is listed for the next larger crate size, our Eskies fit in their 30” crates comfortably even with their food dishes in them plus a small water dish. We also cover the bottom plastic tray with either a bulky blanket or a King-size sheet, scrunched up for adequate snuggling. The 30” also fits onto our car back seat for transport. Even though there is only one door on this crate, it is adequate for our needs.5 other things on the ICrate are noteworthy: 1. There is a divider panel, which can be used for a pup to gradually become an adult (and owners don’t have to buy interim crates along the way); 2. There is a handle; 3. There are 2 rollers (1 front and 1 back), to allow the entire crate to easily and smoothly be rolled on the floor without gouging or scraping the floor; 4. The crate comes in a satin-black electro-coat finish (the door seems to have a plastic-coated latch); and 5. The crates are easy to clean: we haul them out on our deck, spray them with a Tide-vinegar-water mix, and then hose them down. They dry fast after they are tipped against a railing post.Setting up the ICrate took very little time; we just watched the video, followed the instructions, and the crate was erected in no time.Our 25 lb. 4 year-old male Eskie now uses his ICrate as his main abode because the kennels that we have used for our other dogs, internationally, have 1 door whose latch is broken after years of use. He’s entirely comfortable in his ICrate, and because it is positioned to see the entire kitchen and dining rooms areas, he can ‘monitor’ to see when we are coming into the kitchen to see him! (We often catch our 5 year-old 23-lb. female going in his ICrate to check it out [even though she has her shipping kennel to go in.])When our boy wants some voluntary ‘time-out’, he self-exiles, and we often find that he just gets in his ICrate and goes to sleep, especially after walks, play-time, and meals.When we want to shut out some noise and light, we place a blanket or King-size flat sheet on top of the crate and let it drape down over both sides and the front.One last comment: What is the determining factor for buying the ICrate? The most important point is whether our dogs like being in the ICrate or not: Our boy loves his ICrate (and our girl also loves HIS ICrate). From this, we think that other dogs will want one, too!

We recently got a Golden Retriever puppy and picked up two of these (one for the living room and one for the bedroom). They're bigger than I expected them to be and I'm certain that even if he ends up being very large, these will fit him well.Pros:* Great price. Easily $100+ in stores.* The locking mechanisms are sturdy and easy to use.* It took less than 5 minutes to put each cage together and will disassemble just as easily.* I like the double door setup. It will be very nice if I ever have to flip it to face differently.* The divider is amazing for kennel training a puppy. It's great to only need one kennel for him and size it up as he does.* The 42 inch is huge. I could fit inside with my Golden pup right now, and he will definitely fit when he's full size with room to spare.Cons:* Very big and bulky; you need a lot of room in your house for this.* I consider this fairly sturdy, but I'm not sure it would hold up to a large dog shaking it/trying to escape.* A bit awkward to carry (which is why we got two rather than carried one up and down the stairs).

I purchased the 18 inch version of this crate and find it to be practically identical to the 18 inch one I purchased from Petco 8 years ago. I was at Petco the other day, and saw the model I bought there 8 years ago now sells for 40 bucks, more than twice the price of this one from Amazon. as far as sharp edges, misshaped or bent/broken parts, there were none to speak of. The 8 year old crate has a few areas that could be considered a little rough. My 2 dogs, both adult Chihuahuas, love sleeping in their crates as they have since puppy-hood. I bought a new pad for the crate at the store, and it cost more than this crate from Amazon.

Got this for our new Golden puppy based on the following:1. it has a divider so we can grow it with the dog2. it has a side door allowing for greater placement options in our home3. the price was half that in the local pet stores.5-stars because of all the above, plus it seems reasonably sturdy (it's not heavy duty, but it's not going to fall apart sitting there either), and it was super easy to put together. Haven't had a dog in 5 years or so, so I might be out of touch with these products but this thing was so easy to assemble comparatively that it will likely come with us when we travel Also came with a note and a link to helpful crate training instructions video for people like me that are 15 years out of touch with dealing with a new puppy.

I was skeptical after seeing the reviews. I got the 48" and my dog is a 7 month old german shepherd and he's 80lbs. He's got more growing to do. This is perfect size for him and any smaller and he would've been cramped. The idiot on here that has the picture of his 100lbs german shepherd cramped up in the 42 inch saying it's perfect really pissed me off. That dog needs a 48" and it's obvious from looking at the picture. This isn't a doggy Alcatraz. If you lock your dog in and walk away I'm sure he'll hurt himself trying to escape or tear up the cage. I bought this for my dog as a sanctuary where he can feel safe and if need be, discipline him. I don't plan on ever locking him in for any period of time. Either way this kennel is just as quality as the $150 dollar ones they sell you at petco. This is a brutally honest review and I hope you take good care of your pets.

I love the 2 door set up of this crate although it would have been better if the door would lift up instead of opening sideways (that is just my preference because it will save up space). I bought it for my then 8 week old yorkie and the 24" is too big for him hence he used it to sleep and potty. I read somewhere that I should use the divider that came with it to make the space smaller so he will just think it is his sleeping place and not potty inside the crate. So far, it seems to work except when I don't take him out on a longer period of time. His accidents are all in the early morning hours. by the time I get him out at 6:00am, he already peed. Other than that, I am quite happy with the purchase.

The black color was nice, but It cut my finger with one of its multiple sharp edges, when setting it up.The door was kind of loose, and the locks require some fidgeting to get them to close.Thinking it was maybe this one item, I went to Petco to check it out because they carry this brand in their shop, but it also had sharp edges.I ended up ordering the Petco deluxe 2 door create online, which cost about the same. Although is not black but a weird gray camo it did not slice my fingers and it is a lot more stable.

Our dog has a reasonably bad case of separation anxiety. Hence, we needed a crate (read: house destruction when we leave). For being a lower-priced crate, it has held up about as well as expected (with help from zip ties, additional wire, carabiners, twist ties, etc). But, after 6 months of our dog trying to break out during the times we were away, she managed to bend a piece up so much that it broke off. Thankfully, we have a welder down the road who managed to weld (and reinforce) that piece back together. If you don't have a welder nearby but have a dog with separation anxiety, I might invest in a different crate. It's also not going to work well outside. We left it outside for a single day of rain when visiting relatives and found that some spots had started to rust a little.

I've had this kennel for over a year and it has been in use almost every day since then. This kennel is easy to put up and take down, which is what I needed since I take it with me whenever I go somewhere for the weekend and take the dog (which is fairly often). It's a kennel that could fit a small horse so it's fairly bulking and heavy- but thats to be expected. The divider is nice if you have a puppy as you can adjust the size of the kennel as the puppy grows. I bought it for a full grown dog but the divider has still been used when I've temporarily (for an hour or two randomly) needed to fit two dogs in the kennel. Kennel seems to be sturdy but as my dog just sleeps in it when crated I don't know how it would hold up against a dog trying it's darnedest to get out. The dual doors is a nice feature as I have been able to put it in multiple locations and at least one door is always easily accessible. The plastic bottom is a nice feature also as it has about an inch high lip, so the few times the pup has gotten sick while I was gone is contained the mess fairly well and was easy to take out and clean (also important if you're getting a puppy). I would not suggest this kennel if you plan on having it outdoors much, since it's metal. It spent a few nights outdoors and has rusted slightly.Just a tip if you're like me and buying a kennel for the first time: Go to the store just to look at what each size actually looks like before buying one online, because I only pulled out a tape measure to decide what size I needed and my jaw dropped when this thing came in the mail.

I bought the Single Door, 42 Inch-w/divider. Very happy with the order. It is very simple to put together or collapse, and it is very sturdy.I adopted a Staffordhsire Terrier mix from an animal shelter. A lady who helps to save some of the dogs from the location was fostering her and happened to be there the day I went, and I fell in love. She was already kennel trained so I had no issues with her and the kennel. It looks a little big for her to me, but i would prefer her to have all the space she needs compared to it being too cramped. She also isnt as short like most of her breed, especially for a female. She's at the same height as my neighbors 2 male boxers, maybe even pinch taller, and she has plenty of room. Though I dont use the kennel often with her. Its mostly one day out the week for maybe 2-3 hrs to run to the store. I work from home so the kennel is left open near my desk so she can lay in it if she wants, but other than that, its rarely used. She hasnt tried to tear it apart or escape from it during the short time out the week she is in it, so can't really say as how much fight it can take but it feels very sturdy and well made. If you put it together like instructed, i dont see any trouble anyone could have with it. I would prefer this kind of kennel over the plastic enclosed one. I have a large plastic one that she lay down straight in if she goes head in and walks out backwards. Its tall enough for her just far too narrow. But its no big deal because my Chihuahua terrier mix would work better with that one. My staffy loves to lay in crazy positions, so very happy I went this route for her. But I really love how easy it is to assemble and collapse. If I ever need to take a trip down the road, I know I can easily lay this flat in the back of my SUV.

Great value! I purchased the 48" a few months back for my mom who's housebreaking 2 new puppies. I also have a 48" that we used to housebreak our Alaskan Malamute and recently we ordered a 36" for our newest furbaby, a Shiba Inu. We only use crates to housebreak so that being said, our pups really only sleep for the night in them. I can't really speak for the durability if you have a rambunctious pup that would try to eat his way out, but they do seem very well made and strong. The double doors are awesome (wish I had this feature for my first 2 pups back in the day) and so nice for giving you multiple options when deciding where to place the crate. I personally love having the long side forward for easy access to the entire crate rather than trying to crawl through the front. The tray slides out of the bottom for easy clean-ups if necessary. The divider is nice if you need to minimize the available space while your pup is learning.

I ordered the MidWest crate in 48" size with one door, and the AmazonBasics 36" crate with two doors, and the quality of the Amazon crate is so much better. They look very similar, but the Amazon crate feels better quality. The MidWest crate arrived bent so that I could almost not set it up. I needed it ASAP for two foster pups I already had or I would have returned it. The Amazon crate arrived with no bends and just feels stronger. The MidWest crate also has a metal plaque on the door which I don't like as stuff snags on it, and the latches are only straight rods, they do not hook at the end like the Amazon crate. The perpendicular grill keeps the latch securely closed, but you have to make sure you've pulled the latch all the way over. The hook on the end of the Amazon crate makes it easy to visually see it is securely closed. This is fine to use for two 8 lb puppies temporarily, but I'm not sure I'd feel it was strong enough to hold a large dog.

I purchased the 42 inch crate as a recovery area for my elderly cat. She loves it and continues to use it as her private apartment even though she is currently well. She won't use the shared food or litter boxes anymore and she will ask to go back in her crate (by rattling the door) when she wants either. She spends the night there and I've never had to coax her in, only out! If I had known she would love it this much I would have gotten the 48 inch size.I used the divider to create a shelf for her. Initially I used zip ties to secure it, but I wanted to be able to access both doors so I switched to strong twine.We also have the 30 inch for our small dog. She Is very comfy in it and it's in her rotation of favorite napping spots, thanks to a very cushy bed.They were both very easy to set up. Very pleased with this product.

I bought this crate for my rescue when I learned his foster parents crated him and that's where he liked to sleep. He's a big dog - over 80 pounds when I adopted him - and this is the perfect size for him to both lay down and sit up in. It was easy to put a bed in the bottom and he slept in the crate for weeks until he became comfortable sleeping in his dog bed in the bedroom. He loves his crate though so he's easy to please in that regard.The crate is very sturdy. Recently I put him in the crate when maintenance people had to come in the house. He was startled by a worker walking by and lunged in fright. The crate moved a few inches with the force of it but the door held fine, no damage .I did run into difficulty assembling the crate. One of the latches you have to undo to put the "wall" up was truly nearly impossible to unlatch. It was grueling but after about 15 minutes worth of painful attempts I managed it. Hopefully this was just a flaw in mine and no one else will have that problem.. or they'll figure out how to undo the latch with a tool.

This crate is durable, and easy to collapse/set-up. Installation was a breeze, and we can easily travel around with it. My puppy likes to gnaw on the metal bars(obviously I discourage it, but it's bound to happen), and not a mark so far. Not to mention that the removable plastic tray is extremely useful for cleaning up any little puppy puddles!The divider is what really makes these crates a great buy. We wanted to get a crate that our dog could move around in, so we actually got one that was two sizes too large - the "Intermediate" or 36-inch one. Our dog is a cockapoo that will be classified as "small" when he is fully grown, but obviously he is very tiny at only 8 weeks! This is where the divider comes in... We were able to make the usable portion MUCH smaller which is perfect for our puppy to snuggle up in. As he grows and gets house-trained, we will be able to move the divider further and further and eventually remove it completely... No need to keep purchasing larger crates because this one grows with our little guy!We actually got two of them! One of them (the larger one I previously mentioned) we actually have attached to an exercise pen to create a decent-sized area for our puppy to play and live in. He can go into the crate for naps, and then freely move around the exercise area -- ideal for any time he has to be alone! The second crate we got so that he can sleep in our bedrooms at night. It is only a 22" one so it's easy to move around and put in the backseat of the car.Highly, highly recommended for fur babies!

We got the 30" with divider, double door. It's great for our 8.9 pound chihuahua/dachshund mix, Zoey. There is lots of space for her and is good for 2 small dogs in case we get a second. It's sturdy, seems well build, there were no missing pieces and was packaged well. It's the cheapest piece out of all of them and seems just as good. We are so impressed with this! Would for sure repurchase. The latch for the wide door doesn't seem to be that sturdy but there is actually another small latch thingy on the bottom that ensures the door stays closed.

I was hesitant about these crates because of the reviews, but I'm so glad I bought them. I got two of the 48" and they're perfect for my Great Danes. They have plenty of room to stand and stretch. Sometimes they both lay in the same kennel and still seem comfortable. I've had no problems with the wire scratching them, and the kennels are very sturdy. I've included a picture of my 20 year old daughter and my 170 pound Great Dane sharing the kennel and there's still a little room left!!

Perfect highly..... recommend. Our Rottweiler loves his crate. I threw a couple of treats and his bed and he went for it and laid down and now I keep the door open so he could come in and out freely. This is his safe space and no way do I ever use it as punishment. Soon as he saw the crate he was immediately housebroken because he knew he would have to sleep in there overnight with the gate closed, but we never got to that point. This is a very sturdy crate and is ideal for 150 pound Rottweiler. He is currently 65 pounds at 6 months so he still growing.

It can be difficult to accurately judge how much room your dog will have in a crate. It's roomier than you might think. We bought the 42" size for our 100 lb adult German Shepherd. She can stand fully upright inside it with comfort and she can turn around. She can lie down and stretch her front legs straight out. She does not have room to exercise, but exercise is not the point of a crate. She is safe, secure and comfortable inside it. It is well made, easy to set up and fold, with a roomy door for clean-up and care. It's about half the cost of a similar crate at a major bricks and mortar retailer. Look for the photo to get a reference. I don't think you'll find a better deal.

Easy to build with no tools needed. i purchased the 48'30'33 version for my German Shepard, and it is very large. I got her a size to big, but its more spare for her.
