Dog Crates for Extra Large Dogs - XL Dog Crate 42" Pet Cage Double-Door Best for Big Pets - Wire Metal Kennel Cages with Panel & Tray - in-Door Foldable & Portable for Animal Out-Door Travel

This is a great product at a very reasonable price. All the other crates I looked at were upwards of $80 or more. I wasn't sure about this crate because some of the reviews weren't the best. I went ahead and purchased it anyways. Great decision!I've got two 11 week old Lab/Shepard mixes and they needed to start their crate training. This crate is perfect for the two pups. We will get another once they get bigger, but it's plenty big for the two of them now.So, to address the bad reviews... They are right that is not the strongest metal I've seen. That being said, if you are starting with puppies or you have a relaxed animal it's more than adequate. If you're trying to train a full grown escape artist I'd definitely go with the more expensive options because a bigger, motivated dog could probably break it. Our little guys love it though. It's their safe spot and helps immensely with potty training.Update 12/17/2018Our pups finally outgrew the single crate, so we just bought another. The two of them are cuddle monsters and we didn't want to separate them, but wanted them to have more room. So, we ended up taking the doors off the two long sides and used zip ties to bring the two together. We figured we were going to put them next to each other anyway, so why not. If you're careful you can take the doors off without breaking any of the hinges. The metal is kind of brittle when you try to bend it too fast and I broke the first one, but was good after that. It's a great setup and our two pups love it. Half the time we find them curled up together anyways. Again, can't say enough good things about this product. Easiest setup and breakdown ever, sturdy enough to handle 2 65 pound puppies, and the price is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Great Product.

This kennel was fabulously packaged. It is so much larger than my other kennel and is made just as well as the name brand ones that I've purchased in the past. I did not see a "Handle" on the top of it, but it doesn't need one.It was easy to assemble, popped right open. Nothing bent, nothing broken, just came right up when I popped it open. Divider was inside of the kennel. Not using it however.The metal wire appears sturdy and the doors shut easily. The side door is awesome and offers an alternative exit for my pup. It is HUGE and works great with my bloodhound who stands above knee height and weighs almost a hundred pounds. This kennel would be good for German Shepherds, Large labs, rottweilers, smaller dog with pups, two small dogs, bloodhounds, pointers. I would not recommend it for an adult great dane, as the dog would have to duck to get in. A larger, custom kennel would be better for a dog of that stature. I also would not use this for a grown male mastiff, as I feel it may be too small for that size dog.I hope to enjoys years of comfort for my pooch, he and I could fit in this kennel comfortably together.I ordered the XXL crate and it shipped in two days hassle free via UPS.

A few months ago we brought home a baby Doberman/German Shepherd. We had a basic medium size kennel that my little dog no longer needed and thought maybe we would be able to break her of her boredom destruction while people are gone before she outgrew it... She's now 5 months old, cramped as could be and not happy. So we decided to get her a nice big one so she could grow and grow and still have plenty of space to move about when left while we're gone. The kennel came on time, the box was a bit beat up and had a few holes in it, but what ever. It's a metal cage, who cares. So we opened it up and put it together, which is soooo easy. Her little one folds out in the same way so other then it being huge we had no issue popping everything into place. But there was one BIG problem. the door wasn't attached. It would seem where the metal bars loop around the cage and are clamped closed, these are not. So it just keeps popping off every time we open that door. Not a good thing for a puppy who has to have the doors D ringed shut already because she can escape.... Not sure what we're gonna do about that. Also another point, the bars seem weak. The quality of the cage is not as good as a smaller one, from a different brand. I know that this was the cheapest kennel we could find, it was "on sale". considering the quality I really hope they don't try and sell it for the original price cuz I don't really think it's worth it. You can get the same size from other places for just slightly more then the sale price, it's so not worth over $100 like the before sale price says. I would say 4 stars is probably a little high for a rating if it wasn't for how cheap we got it. Still kinda disappointed and I'll have to see if I can clamp it together better. It's still a huge cage tho. My 8 year old climbed in with both of the dogs just to show how HUGE this kennel is. That and she's a silly little girl who thought it was funny that she could fit in it too. lol
