MidWest Homes for Pets 24-Inch iCrate for Small Breeds, 12-20 lbs, Double Door Folding Dog Crate with Divider Panel, Leak-Proof Tray & Secure Latches, Portable, Durable & Easy to Assemble

I already had a cage the same size as this one, but it honestly doesn't compare—the iCrate is much better quality. Versatility & Setup: I love that it has multiple doors, which gives you more options for how to set it up and where to place it. It was incredibly easy to put together, and the fact that it’s collapsible makes it perfect for storage or travel. Easy Cleaning: One of my favorite features is the bottom tray. It slides out so easily, making cleaning up any messes a breeze compared to other crates I've used. The Verdict: If you have a small breed, this is the one to get. It’s durable, convenient, and the double-door design is a total game changer!

Purchased the 42" iCrate with divider. PERFECT! Have a 50lb 10mo old Smooth Collie / Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler). He was sleeping in a 36" crate where his head and rear touched the ends of the crate. The extra 6" has made a world of difference. Opie can stretch out now... and doesn't come out 'unfolding' and acting like he's been in a vice all night. It's not quite the 'romper room' he has in the 48" iCrate, but again, this one is for "Night-Night"... and gives plenty of room for such. When we first got our puppy, we bought a 36" Beagle Crate from Walmart for $67. We were using the Beagle as his bed (in the bedroom) and needed a 2nd crate for the Family Room, but wanted a larger crate; one he could play in too. Then we found the iCrate by Midwest. The Beagle was very well made but much more expensive in comparison! After lengthy discussions whether to buy the 42" or the 48" we chose the larger 48"... and use it in the Den. Yes, he had a couple of accidents, but we put the divider in, and the accidents stopped. It's been about 4 months now and we've moved the divider a little at a time and it's finally out! No more accidents! Of course, he's also out of the crate more and has bells at the back door to tell us when he needs to go out. Anyway, we decided to replace the 36" Night Night crate with a 42"... and chose to stay with the iCrate because of durability and price. It comes with a divider, which we've not needed, but it's there... and we're thinking about maybe getting another dog (later in 2017). The divider may come in handy then! Double doors. Some have reported that the double doors make the crate weaker. I guess it just depends on the dog and his reaction to being crated. Opie has horrible separation anxiety, but with the help of a loaded Kong, a bone, and a dark room (yup, turn the lights off and say Night Night)... he does quite well. We only use the end door because of the relation to space and placement, but I don't think the double doors decrease the durability or strength at all. FYI --- The doors are large. Not so large to compromise the integrity of the crate, but larger than the doors on other crates I've seen. Nice!!! The latches are really nice. They are straight, which concerned me at first, but after using them I feel confident that they are safe. Also, the plastic pan in the bottom is really nice. It's not flimsy at all. It fits well, removes easily, and cleans up really well with a quick wipe. Collapsibility. Easy enough! It's big, so it's bulky. But it's not hard to collapse or expand. To unfold... Just pull up on a hinge until the box is evident, then pull out one end, then the other, lock it in place, and BAM... you have a crate. To fold... reverse the process. Oh, lock the doors in place first. Then fold in the door and backend walls. The side will fold down practically on it's own. It's like a really big briefcase. Of course, the larger the crate, the heavier, but... it even comes with a couple of 'suitcase' carrying handles. EASY! Breezy! Complaint --- The door actually opens the wrong way into the room I have crate in... and there's no other place to put it. I've turned the care upside down to put the door opening the correct direction for the room. However, the crate was not designed for this. The plastic bottom fits, but the door hangs a little different and is harder to latch. The wiring is tighter on the top than it is on the bottom of the crate, so upside down leaves the (now) top of the crate with large open squares. Some dogs could potentially get caught in their attempt to get out, and strangle themselves or cause damage to their ears. Since my dog is happy in his crate I don't see that as an issue for us... but I still watch for it. I just think it would be safer for the pet, possible make the crate more durable overall, and definitely more versatile for the owners' room arrangement, if the crate was made the same on the top and bottom. Hope my experience helps you in your decision. It's a great crate... Give it try!

This is the perfect size and a great unit for a Pomeranian. Goes well together with a small fence we bought and it’s enough room for her to get up walk around adjust her bed and stretch without being too confined. Very well-made rolls around easily and it’s easy and lightweight enough to move without a problem. This is our second one. We love it just as much as the first.

I have purchased three sizes of this kennel. The kennel is easy to set up and taken down. I appreciate the crate having two doors, so you have more options for where you set it up. My only caveat, if you have a dog that struggles with being kenneled and is an escape artist, you may want a more reinforced kennel. For the average person, with a dog that does well in a crate, this is perfect.

Excellent Construction, But the 48-Inch Was Too Large for My Space. ​I purchased this MidWest iCrate based on the brand's reputation for quality, and I was not disappointed with the build. ​Quality: The crate is still good quality. The metal wire is thick, the secure latches are reliable, and the folding design, along with the leak-proof tray, confirms its durability and ease of use. ​The Issue: Unfortunately, the 48-inch size for XL breeds was too big for the specific area I needed it for in my home. It was an error on my part in measuring my space! ​Outcome: I returned it solely due to the size issue and plan to re-order the next size down from the same brand. ​If you have a large-to-extra-large dog and the space to accommodate a 48-inch crate, this is a sturdy and well-designed choice. I definitely suggest this brand for quality construction!

Make sure you have plenty of room for this dog kennel, taking the measurements before you buy it is one thing, actually seeing it put together inside of the house is quite another! Our 3.5 month old great dane puppy was starting to look a bit cramped in an older 36" kennel we had. She still fit but looked very uncomfortable when she tried to stretch out and stand up. She looks so much more comfortable and has plenty of room to grow in this kennel. I read all of the horror stories about the condition people received their kennels in due to the size and weight so I was worried we would receive ours damaged too. Ours actually arrived in pretty good condition. The UPS man moved it around with a dolly and my husband wrestled it into the house. The box is huge and the kennel is very heavy. We sliced open the side and slid the kennel out. Everything is held together with white zip ties. A few of the panels were stuck together, but they were easy enough to unhook the side hooks from where they attached themselves. Putting this together was a bit of a chore, not because it was hard, but because it was big and bulky and there were two of us that insisted we knew what we were doing, so we argued over which way the panels should face, put them upside down a couple of times, then had to re-do them. This does come with a set of directions, but some of the pictures weren't really that clear. The picture on the outside of the box actually gives you a better idea on how this all fits together. There were a couple of places where the wires were bent and we had to straighten them out with a pair of pliers. Also one of the side wires had a broken weld where it connects at the top, it was next to one of the bent hooks (corner area) so it had probably been set down a bit too hard at some point during shipping. It doesn't seem like it will affect the kennel, and it doesn't show so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm not too pleased about the side door of this kennel though. The top slide bolt latch did not slide into the holder that was welded onto the side. The holder had been welded a tiny bit too low (quality control should have checked this), we had to bend the tip of the sliding pin down a little so it would be able to slide into the latch. The side door also seems a little stiff to open and close, as if it is misaligned. We can still open and close the door though, and once shut it is very secure. There were also a few areas we had to straighten out so the drop pins could connect the corners. Once this is put together it really is very sturdy. It is not flimsy at all, we are actually pleased at how sturdy this kennel looks and feels. The bottom pan slides in and out smoothly, and I won't worry about our dog spending time in the kennel while we are gone, or during the night. She loves the extra room and until she finishes growing she has plenty of room inside to sprawl out and play with all of her toys. The problem areas we found when this kennel first arrived were easy fixes, the completed kennel is large and strong. I checked around before I purchased this kennel and the price here was so much more reasonable than anywhere else, plus you get free delivery right to your house. If you have the room, and you have one of the giant breed dogs, then this kennel will be perfect. *Update 7/31/16- at 5.5 months old now our dane puppy is still growing. There is plenty of room in this kennel for her, her jumbo round Costco bed, and a stack of toys. She loves her crate! Our Aussie and the cats also love going inside to relax. Giant puppies can make giant messes, this crate is the perfect size for her and we are so happy that there is plenty of room inside for her to grow. No worries about her eating the couch while we are gone!

super easy to put together, and is very durable. design is efficient and straightforward. very very easy to clean which is so helpful when you have a puppy who wants to be doing whatever you are doing!

Great crate! Easy to set up and collapse. I travel with it. The tray is easy to clean. It is secure and easy to open. The 36in is perfect for my 35-40lbs puppy. The size chart is accurate. I like the extra divider that can be used to make the crate smaller hence prevent potty accidents. The color is still on after 3 weeks of puppy chewing and distruction! Highly recommend for any crate training dog. I cover 3 sides of the crate with bedsheets for extra warmth and to prevent distractions. I would buy this again if i need to raise a puppy again
