K9 Powder Coated Aluminium Dog Crate Small Black

One of our dogs is a 63lb rescue who wasn't crate trained (and didn't want to be). He would get into things (garbage, food, M&Ms, etc) and ruin things when we were gone (i.e. scratch doors & window sills, chew blankets). He knocked screens out and escaped from our RV twice while traveling. He broke out of the folding wire crates easily and chewed through (!!!) a $250, THICK, composite plastic crate. Imagine coming home from work to a possible vet visit (and bill) almost every day! This crate has changed all our lives. He is SAFE now when we're at work and on the road. It has the perfect amount of room for him, it's secure (we don't even have to additionally lock it - though we could), and it's not too difficult to manage folding down. I'm so glad this company offered this crate for this price. It's a lot of money, but WORTH it compared to the alternatives.

So far so good. This kennel is a small and it fits my 2 year old Pit Bull just fine. I'm 5'7 and the kennel is quad height. Super lightweight, I expected to drag the box home but I was able to pick it up. Her biggest issue: she chewed up and piddled on the mat I got her by the next morning. Guess blankets are preferred.

Our escape artists tries her best but this thing holds solid. A bit complicated to put up and take down but no big deal since we don’t do it often

For the price of this item I was expecting it to be much sturdier and for it not to have damaged pieces. It is made of metal but feels like a very thin metal ,my pup had a horrible experience in the traditional wire crates so I was very hopeful for this one to come in. I am keeping it because at this point it's my only option. I am sharing pictures I took pictures of the top also because it is bent on top , but it's not visible in the pictures. I really do hope that I can make it work because I don't really have $600 plus dollars to just waste, but I was willing to invest in something as long as it work for my boy. Only time will tell if it holds up, but first impression is disappointing.

This crate holds my dog and he cannot get out. We had to find a solution as he has horrible separation anxiety and hurt himself when left alone. The only flaw is that it’s almost impossible to clean if the dog has an accident without crawling through it. The holes in the bottom of the crate are not big enough for anything solid to get through when trying to hose it out and due to the lip of the seams it gets stuck all while trying shake the crate around. I don’t regret the purchase at all, just wish there was a better solution to clean out.
