Today, my 9 week old miniature Dachshund puppy nearly had her lower jaw broken! This crate arrived and was very simple to put together. I had an initial complaint that the bottom plastic layer cannot be secured to the crate with anything supplied by the company. This is a concern for older puppies and adult toy breeds who can lift up this plastic sheet and either get out through the bottom or GET CAUGHT in the bottom as this area is not made up of smaller openings like the rest of the crate but very big ones.
But my main concern is the openings near the top are very small and in no way secure from young puppies getting their paws stuck or, as with my puppy today, getting their lower jaw stuck. Fortunately she was right by me when this happened and I was able to extricate her at once. That said, she was terrified and this accident did hurt her. Also, in crate training, this incident will leave some anxiety that I’ll have to deal with. Which would not have happened if the company that made this junk had better thought out their entire pen.
This is a terrible product. Do not buy it. The same thing could happen to your puppy and you might not be home to help them. Buy something better and think of the broken jaws and broken legs your puppy won’t suffer.
I’m returning mine today.

Good contruction, easy to assemble, but it is too small for my maltipoo. I recommend you buy the next size up.

This crate is the perfect size for my Yorkie! My other crate was too large and we were having bathroom problems, but no more! In addition to the right size it was the right price. Local retailers wanted $65 and up for a similar size. There is a difference in quality, but lets be real – for such a small dog do I need it to be built like a fortress? I also have a much larger version of the crate I used for a larger dog and it kept her in without any problems too. So the quality may be less than those sold at pet stores, but it does what it needs to do – keeps the dog (and my house) safe at night. It is foldable for storage or travel as needed, comes with a divider if a smaller area is needed for a puppy and a plastic pan in case there are any accidents. I rate this at a 5 because it meets all the requirements – price, size, construction and usability.

This is my second one – I liked the first so much rather than carry it back and forth to our weekend place, I purchased another. Can’t beat the quality and price. My big Chesapeake Bay Retriever does well in it.

Ilove these for my pekingese they hold up so well and are very easy to clean , When we are traveling to dog shows they are so much nicer than the plastic crates for the hairy breeds …
