Product Description
The Life Stages folding metal dog crate by MidWest Homes for Pets includes all of the features you will need to provide a convenient, safe & secure pet home for your best friend, from puppy to adulthood. This crate includes a divider panel allowing you to adjust the size of the living area as your puppy grows. The plastic leak-proof pan allows easy clean-up in the event of an accident. A strong plastic carrying handle is included for convenient portability, and rubber feet on the bottom of the crate protect the floors inside your home. We recently enhanced the safety and security of the Life Stages crate by adding locking tips on the slide-bolt latches to securely lock the door and patented Paw Block, which prohibits your dog from tampering with the door lock from the inside. MidWest Life Stages crates also feature patented rounded side clips that reduce possible sharp points to ensure a safe experience for you and your pet. Every Life Stages metal dog crate conveniently folds down flat for travel. The 42" Life Stages (model 1642DDU) measures 42L x 28W x 31H inches and is suitable for "large" dog breeds. **Please note the term "large” breed is subjective. For the best fit, we advise that you check the measurements of the dog crate and select a size that will be suitable for your dog's ADULT weight and measurements. Your dog should be able to comfortably sit upright, lay down, and easily turn around inside the crate. When in doubt, we suggest you purchase a larger crate option. We at MidWest Homes for Pets understand that your dog is a part of your family; that's why we ensure our dog crates are manufactured with the highest quality control standards to create a safe and secure home for your pet. Assembly and safety instructions are included; please read all safety instructions prior to use.

I have never had a crate so was very unsure about what size to order. At first I thought that it would be cruel to put a puppy in a tiny space to allow her sleep comfortably. So I went ahead and ordered the medium size 30" crate for my Boston Terrier puppy thinking that as she grows she will need more room to be comfortable...I was WRONG. Not letting my judgement error affect the rating and still give this product 5 stars. A dog does NOT need a lot of room in a crate to sleep, especially not for crate training. I later found out that the dog only needs enough space to stand up, lay down and turn around in order to effectively crate train your puppy. This crate is very roomy and probably meant for a much bigger dog, like a lab or so.
Since it was my fault on the sizing I went ahead and ordered a small size instead of the medium and the small is still too big. Luckily the divider panel that comes included allows me to cut the area down to a smaller space. So as she becomes full grown I can open it up even more and I am still unsure if a Boston Terrier could fill up the small crate but it is a great training tool. After just a week my puppy is really getting used to it and knows she shouldn't handle her "outside business" in her sleeping area.
The double door design is perfect for placement of your crate. If you want to get the pup out on one end of the crate or from the side. I use the end because the divider does not allow for the side door use but when opened up it is a nice option.
The folding of the unit is very easy and will come in handy when traveling. I had a travel hard plastic crate before but I like the wire design much better as the dog is able to see all around her and seems like she has a little less restrictive confinement that way.
The plastic tray bottom slides out easily for cleaning when needed. I also ordered a midwest quiet time pet bed that fits perfectly in the crate but since I have the divider cutting her down to less than half the crate size I am not using that yet. Have a towel folded in the smaller space and this makes it a very comfortable bed for her. On day one she soiled the towel but ever since then she has been able to hold it. Of course, as a young puppy her crate is in our bedroom so when she does have to go out she lets us know and one or two trips out a night allows her to sleep in her crate clean and comfortably. I actually think she is beginning to like it in there after less than a week.
Quality construction and practical design on this product. Life stages has the heavier gauge wires than the i-crate but unless you have a very destructive dog probably either will work fine for most dogs/puppies. I would highly recommend this product for crate training your puppy or dog. I would buy again, and did in the smaller size, then just gave the other crate to a friend with a Collie. Great crate, do not hesitate if you are looking to crate train.
When you first open it up, it's easy to tell how it goes together. Certainly doesn't take a genius. I like how easily it folds down and comes back together with just a few lifts and clicks. We got a bigger one, and so I can't say that it's so easy that a child can DO it, but our 3 year old understands how it works and helps us.
The double door feature is handy because we have ours in a place that makes it difficult to use the usual door on the narrow end. It made it possible for us to have some options for where to put it. The latches are easy to use and there are two for each door, making it difficult for escape and making the door stronger.
Due to her rough beginnings, our boxer puppy didn't like it at first. It had less to do with the crate than it did the fact that she was left in a box for a week. The divider made it easy to find a size that was "just right," making her comfortable but without giving her too much space to freak out.
I can also say that it held up well to our puppy's insistence as she tried to escape. Not a single bend or break, even after all of that digging and scratching. (Rest assured, we did decide to slowly introduce her to the crate, and she no longer feels trapped).
The tray slides out easily for a quick cleaning without having to take the crate down. That's been helpful as we've been potty training. It also folds up within the crate so that it's not separate when folding it up. The handles are also removable, making it easy to take for transport but not cumbersome or distracting to the puppy.
Overall, five stars. Love this crate--it's been a lifesaver. I've spent double on a crate that didn't hold a candle to this one. Loved the price and the quality.

La gran puerta del extremo está doblada hacia afuera, con un espacio de 6 mm en el medio.
La caja emite un molesto ruido de traqueteo en varios puntos/articulaciones.
Calidad mucho peor que las cajas más baratas que he comprado anteriormente.
