Amazon Basics Dog Crate, Travel Dog Kennel Double Door Collapsible, Lightweight Soft-Sided Folding, Portable Dog Cage, XL 42" x 31" x 31", Tan

I am posting this after eight years because I amGetting a new one to donate my current one to a shelter. Nothing is wrong with the crate and no issues with the zipper. My dog loves being in here and doesn’t make any attempts to escape, so that is the only issue I can see for other dogs who don’t want to be crated. I adopted my dog from the shelter eight years ago and he was terrified of wire crates. I tried for months to get him used to one and nothing worked. When this crate arrived, it was immediately his safe space. He loves his crate and chooses but will also happily go inside if asked. It has also made traveling with him a breeze. The only issue is he gets SO mad when I collapse it when I need to pack it in the car. I take the cover off to wash it a few times a year. I had bigger one at first (dog is 50lbs mix) but, I gave that away as he preferred this size. More cozy, but he still has lots of room. Just ask the cat who sneaks in.

This kennel has been great for my growing German Shepherd puppy. He is 73 lbs. at 7 months and still growing. He sleeps in it every night. We’ve travelled with it a few times and it’s easy to set up and break down. You’ll need to get a bed or pad, because it doesn’t come with one. We put a box fan in front of it to keep my pup nice and cool. He loves it!

I recently moved to a new location and my senior dog was having anxiety issues every time I'd leave the house.I thought this might give him a sense of comfort having a small private space to retreat to.For the first few months he wouldn't go near it.For some reason one day he decided to venture inside. On his own.Although he has 2 other comfortable beds, he now spends most of his time in the comfort of his personal bedroom.I bought a mattress pad to place inside and he is quite content.I haven't used it for travel as of yet, however It is extremely easy to break down and reassemble.

The top zipper door is tight to zip, barely had enough give in the fabric to zip. And it takes some muscle to pop it up. If those issues were fixed I would give this 5 stars. Material is great and sturdy

This crate was a game changer for my dog. He previously had a seatbelt and was clipped in but had too much wiggle room to move around in my back seat and after researching I realized he might be having additional anxiety due to too much opportunity to move. I switched to this collapsable crate and not only do I feel much safer driving without him racing back and forth in the back seat but I do believe it has provided him more security and comfort. It look a little bit for him to get used to but it is one of my favorite purchases. I am glad he will also be safer if an accident occurs.

A must have when traveling with our large dog! Easy to put up and take down- our dog enjoys being in it when we travel it is a win win! Easy to clean, can hold a mat and blanket when closet up for traveling. Bought a second one after 9 years and the quality is great. It is lightweight and our go to!!

The perfect dog crate. We initially purchased this dog crate to have an option for taking our dog to friends houses or having friends dog sit our dog. In the end of this is become our dogs permanent crate. It’s very easy to clean, set up, and my dog loves it. We have a 60 pound Portuguese water dog and the crate is very roomy for him. He has space to lay down in extra space to get up and turn around. he loves this and this will probably be the crate that we use from now on.We have had this crate for a little over a year now and it’s still holding up perfectly. We haven’t had any problems with the zipper like I’ve read previous comments and the quality is really nice. I will say our dog does not paw the door and actually enjoys his kennel so I’m not sure if that affects the quality but it’s held up really well despite being moved frequently to new locations

My relative suggested I get a bigger metal crate for my 17 month Dutch Shepherd Pitbull rescue pupUnfortunately he’s a rescue and is a huge escape artist if a set up isn’t secured with reinforcements he head buts his way out and takes a hold of anything he can get a way with ( his treats I use to clam him down before I step out to go to work or take out the garbage outside, his dental hygiene treats , etc , ) 😭😭 , I came home and he got into a lot of treats ..As I secured his kennel with a leash clasp hooks and he still managed to head but his way out of the mesh zippered door .I was very surprised they were still functional after his escape 😭
