Ellie-Bo Dog Crate Dog Cage from Small to Large, Foldable Puppy Dog Crates, Cage Furniture with Non-Chew Metal Removable Tray Folding 2 Door Crate, Large Size 36-inch(91.4cm) Black

Product Information

If you have an especially reactive pup, keep in mind that the door to this crate may bend slightly with excessive force. While testing with roughly 68 pounds of force pulled against it, the door showed a slight bend, but overall we were impressed by the door’s durability and latch strength. This crate does not have a removable tray, but its plastic interior still make it relatively easy to clean, except for a few tight corners.

Essentially, this means you can buy an adult size dog cage and make it smaller, rather than having to buy a slightly larger cage every time your pup grows a few inches. Where should I set up a dog crate? As we have mentioned, a folding metal dog crate can also be handy if you have a smaller home as it can be taken down when you need some space. Yes! It can give them somewhere they feel closed and secure. If the house is busy or they just need some shut-eye, they can go into their dog cage which will be enclosed and covered with a cage cover. Great to use as a bed, or as a separate function. Safety is arguably the most important factor to consider when purchasing a dog crate, but the level of safety depends on the life stage and temperament of your pup. For example, a wooden crate might be safe for more mellow dogs who don't chew, but those with puppies or chewers will want to avoid this type. A range of sizes was also important to find. Too small and your dog will either be cramped or unable to fit into the dog crate; too big and they’ll feel uncomfortable and overwhelmed.

The removable base is also low to the ground so those little legs can easily step onto it. This crate has three openings (one at either end of the crate and one on the top) that are secured by zippers. They can also be rolled up and fastened to the top of the crate. This crate is super lightweight, making it a great option for travel, but it doesn’t have a carrying handle. They are also good if you go on staycations with your dog, as most places may require you to be able to keep your dog off the human beds and certain rooms.

We looked for features such as the ability to fold it flat for easy storage and a divider panel to make them smaller when they’re just a puppy, as these two functions make it easier for the humans and mean you can use the crate over a longer period.The ideal crate size allows your pup to fully stand up and lie down, with room to stretch to his full body length without being constrained. But dogs still like a den-like experience, so make sure that the crate isn’t too big (for example, a smaller breed shouldn’t be housed in a crate intended for larger breeds).

The crate has its own carry case and ground pegs if you want to keep your dog enclosed outdoors – handy at a picnic to keep those sausages safe! Dog crate dividers are not mandatory, but they are a very useful device when crate training a puppy. They allow you to seclude the area of a cage to make it more snug and cosy for a dog who is not yet adult size.The Ellie-Bo is a metal dog crate which folds flat for easy storage or transportation, and is easy to set up without the need for any tools. The only downside we found is the door does bend slightly when it’s pulled on, not significant enough for a dog to bust through the door, but it’s still a worthy concern for any owners with especially excitable or high-strung pooches. Despite this one design concern, we’d still recommend this crate as a reliable and basic option that’s sure to last you multiple years and withstand pet wear and tear over time. No! While it might seem strange to buy a cage for your dog, if you train them properly, your trusty mutt will actually regard their dog crate as a safe haven to relax in and retreat to when scared. To secure the door shut, the latch has a three-step process: pull out, move up, and then push down into place. We found it a little difficult to maneuver which then made it easier for our dog to get out. If you have a dog that is determined to get out, this crate is not the right choice, but if you have a dog that enjoys their den space, then this is a suitable option.
