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 36" Life Stages (model 1636DDU) measures 36L x 23W x 25H inches and is suitable for "intermediate" dog breeds. Please note the term "intermediate" 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.

Very sturdy material. This brand is known in many facilities as the go-to dog crate. I love it and bought it when my dog was just a puppy. I really like that it has two doors as opposed to just the one seen on similar models. This adds a level of compatibility, like if you have to put it up against a wall that the main door is on, then the side door can be used, or if you want to only have one mode of entry or exit, you can just put the wall against the side door and specifically allow opening from the main door. I would recommend this product to puppy owners with dogs that will become huge like a big husky or great Danes, German Shepherds even as well as Labradors. I have a mixed breed husky/ pitbull and he loves it but it is very big for him- I am sure he's not complaining, but this really is for a big dog. A smaller model would probably be a better fit for a regular sized dog. It is easily assembled and can be folded to fit in the back seat of an SUV or trunk of a car. I am not kidding when I say it is huge. But that's how I wanted it. It has held up well even now that my dog is two years old going on three. When he was a pup and sometimes had accidents inside the crate the inside plastic was easy to clean and drys pretty fast in the daylight. I do not use it very much any more unless my friends' dogs come over for a couple days and I have company over. Two medium sized dogs can be put inside with the included divider- which is another handy thing this crate allows for. The black tray on the bottom has held up great but a friend of mine told me her dog would get anxious and start biting it. If your dog is an anxious biter or chewer, they will be one for all dog crates and desensitization is necessary to allow for proper crate training to occur on any kind of dog crate out there. Do not blame products for your shortcomings as a dog owner because if a dog wanted, they could get out of pretty much anything. All in all, I believe this is a great product for a larger to huge dog or two medium sized dogs with the divider. Or for one spoiled dog who you just think might appreciate a lot of extra space- as in my case. If I had to do it over, I would buy it again or in a slightly smaller size.

I will say that I do not use this for a puppy, so I cannot state how it stands up to the excitement, activity, digging, and chewing of a puppy. I bought this for my older dog who suddenly and unexpectedly needed crate rest to heal a spinal injury. He is a ~55-60lb border collie, and this crate is perfect for his size. It seems huge in our living space, but he can just stand up (with a crate bed in it) without hitting his head on the top. He seems to like the space and has enough room to move around. He doesn't dig at it (did once briefly but not enough to tell how well it would stand up to regular scratching and digging). It was very easy to put up, which was nice. It's heavy and not something you want to be moving around much (we thought we'd move it up and down stairs regularly, but have decided not to due to its heft and our disinterest in having to take the pad out and fold it down each time). I do not think this will fit through a regular doorway when set up, but we have not tried. Crate water bowls work great on the wires of this, you can put them at any height. Having 2 doors is nice because it gave us options to figure out how to fit it into our living space where he could still be part of the family, but now we don't use 1 of the doors as it is against a table. (So if you really don't need the 2 doors and know where you'll put it to make 1 door work, don't pay extra for the 2nd door.) We keep that extra door latched and padlocked just in case he wanted to try to dig or shove the door open when we were gone for an extended time. (I worry he'd be able to unlatch a latch enough to get his head or neck stuck, as he's always been adept at using his nose/head/neck for opening gates and doors meant to keep him out.) My one concern is the latch system on this crate. It is fine and easy to use for people, but I don't trust that a dog who is digging excitedly at the latches and/or pushing at the sides wouldn't get lucky and pop the latch up and eventually open, so when we leave we also use carabiner clips on the one door we use for entry/exit, to be sure the latches don't pop up. It works well and gives me peace of mind that I won't arrive home to an already-injured dog with his head/neck stuck partway out of the crate. The IMK9 "travel dog bed for car or suv...48x28 size pad for large pet crate" works fabulously in here. It fits perfectly, and I thread the snap strap (for keeping the dog bed rolled up if not in use) through the crate wires and snap it closed in order to keep it in place. (Again, this is an older dog, so it works well since he's not too active or hell-bent on moving this pad around or digging under it. It would be nice if there were snap straps on each end to help a dog who might try to dig the pad up, you could strap it around either end of the crate.) You can see my review for that product on its product page. All in all, this was a good purchase for us and I appreciate that the price was affordable as we were not in a place to look around much or take our time deciding since our dog needed a crate ASAP to start healing. We've spent a lot of money on vet care and meds during this dog health crisis, and having to shell out much more than this (plus crate pad and bowls) would have been really hard to do.

I purchased many many crates for my dogs in the past 45 years, I bought the cheapest and I bought the most expensive. You used to have to get them at the pet store and pay anywhere from $90-$200 for standard great. Thank goodness for Amazon. I just added to my "stable" of dogs with an eight-week-old golden retriever named Bentley. Now he's just a little guy weighing in at 12 pounds but he will get bigger. Right now he fits in a small crate and I mean fits. He can get in it but he can't lay down or turn around. I needed to get him a crate he can grow into so I went online to Amazon and looked around. I saw my old friends Midwest who stood by me with durable crates during my dog show days. They always made a sturdy crate out of heavy-duty material that was well engineered and well put together. It's been a few years since I bought a crate and a few things have changed. Pretty much now everybody offers a folding crate that wasn't so back in the day Midwest was one of the first to offer that feature and they did it well and they still do. They have a variety of sizes more so than most manufacturers so I chose the middle middle size which is a little bigger than other manufacturers middle size. Some of the features I like was this one has double doors, one on the side and one on the end. Each closes and locks sturdily and securely with two hasps on each door. Nowadays the bottom tray is made of plastic instead of steel so with a little lighter and more resistant to corrosion and easily cleaned. I ordered this crate and it came promptly from Amazon as I am an Amazon prime member. It was packaged well and arrived without damage and I had it set up in less than 5 min.. The only problem was the location where I was going to use it was against a wall and the doors were all wrong. Well I solved that by swapping the ends by bending back four hooks on each end, then squeezing them tight again to finish up, this took all of 3 min. to do in my crate or I should say that Bentleys crate was ready to go. One of the big advantages of having the second door is that when I wanted to introduce Bentley to crate I left both doors open so he could wander in and out at his leisure. I placed a few toys and water bowl in their as well as a wee wee pad and some bedding. He was curious and wandered in and out. I will admit however, the first night he was full of screams and barks and crying for most of the night. It was his first night in a crate. The second night I placed him in the crate and he laid down and was quiet until early morning. When he saw me and heard me moving around a little bit he started vocalizing so I took him out. The Crate also comes with a divider so you can change the size as your dog grows. At this point I'm not even using divider and giving Bentley full run of the crate. I am really glad that Amazon is selling these and the price is phenomenal. If you go to a pet store I'm sure you will easily over $150 for this crate or poorly made imitation. I really recommend Midwest and I think you'll be very happy with the quality and the operation of this crate. if you're a first-time buyer, check the AKC standards for how big your dog will be, then buyer accordingly. Don't buy too small as you will have to buy bigger later on. I give this five stars I love it I know you will too and it's recommended buy If you found my review helpful please click yes on the button below I really appreciate your support for that I intend to leave reviews to help others make decisions prior to purchase taste upon my recommendations or disclosure and I utilize your reviews to help me with my purchases as well. my reviews are honest factual and accurate thank you

first off, the only bad thing I have to say about this product is that the doors are a little tight on their hinges. after a few uses, the loosen up a little bit and I don't even notice it now. we purchased this crate for our pup that came from a rescue shelter. We were informed that the dog would probably grow to around 60 pounds so we wanted to only have to buy one crate that would serve him well from puppy to adult. One thing that we really like about this particular crate is that it came with a divider wall/gate to adjust the crate size as our dog grows. since our dog is still a pup, the crate in its full glory is too big for his crate training. With the wall installed and properly adjusted the crate only leaves enough room for his little bed and doesn't allow for him to relieve himself in the opposite corner from his bed whenever he wants. it is also fully adjustable so you can make his sleeping area the perfect size for his state of growth. With the wall, it forces him to hold it until we take him outside because dogs do not want to "mess" where they sleep. with this feature and a strict schedule, we have never had an accident in the crate with our 12 week old pup. after a week, we had him almost completely house trained! I think we owe a large part of that success to the fact that he actually needs to use the bathroom when we take him out of his crate and he has learned that poo and pee are outside tasks. The adjustable wall/gate feature combined with the overall price was enough incentive for us to buy it. The other crates we looked at in the big pet store ran twice the price, didn't include the divider wall and only came with one door. That leads me to the other feature that we really like:it has two doors on it. This allows for us to have versatility in placement options for our home. We can turn it sideways and fit it under the built in desk in our kitchen and he is out of the way and still safe and comfortable. although two doors is not an absolute must have, it is still nice to have the option available for convenience. About the doors, it is a nice touch that the doors both have a lower and an upper latch. That makes it twice as hard for the little escape artist to get out when no one is looking. (fyi- he hasn't been able to break out yet in spite of his best efforts) another nice touch is that the crate comes with a plastic tray that lines the bottom in case there is an accident. this tray is removable without dissembling any part of the crate and looks to be easily washable although I have not had to wash it yet (knock on wood) another plus is that it arrived almost completely assembled. the only "assembly" was snapping the carry handles onto it. it only took me two minutes to set it up and i didn't even have to read the instructions. I literally unfolded the top, lifted the roof with one hand and folded the end cap pieces up and snapped them into place on the roof ends. super easy to use. and it folds small enough to lay flat in the trunk of our older Nissan Altima. it folds into a 2'x3'x4" rectangle for travel. We are happy that we will be able to take it with us when we go out of town to visit family and not loose a lot of luggage space in the process. Bottom line, it is a great product at an even better price. I would definitely buy another one if the need presented itself.

Having raised and cage trained many dogs from pups, we've usually given the bulky cages away after successful house breaking. We found this to be the best we have owned over the years because: 1) Cage is very sturdy. Others we have used have had much thinner and more easily bent wire. 2) Two doors. Inevitably you need to place the cage in a position where a side door is needed. 3) Divider to constrain puppies. A divider is the way to train a small pup, limiting their ability to relieve themselves to only where they rest. They get it much more quickly. In every other situation, I built my own divider out of plywood. This would have saved me construction time and readjusting as they grew. Another suggestion - Don't use towels or blankets that might absorb urine during taining. Once or twice and your dog "gets it." Introduce a blanket or pad only after they are trustworthy in the crate. 4) Best fold and setup of any cage I have owned. 5) Price. Checked out three big box pet stores. This was a better value for all the items above at a lower price. 6) Liked the plastic tray for our situation as our dog is house broken and not a chewer. Think a metal insert might have been better for pups. Cons: 1) Rough spots on wire end edge at doorways. I used a fine file to smooth out the sharp edges I found on several wire ends. The manufacturer should have done the same smoothing they used on the corners at the door openings. 2) Clips not fully closed. There are metal clips that act as hinges for set up and fold down. Several were not completely clamped close, again making an unsafe edge for you or your pet. A pliers made quick work of that problem. I really wanted to give this product a five. But I just felt the slight safety issue was significant enough to mark it down to a four. No blood should ever be spilled by either pet or owner. Update: The manufacturer contacted me via Email on this issue. Manufacturing mgmt wanted the date code off the unit to remedy the problem I am very impressed by their followup and attention to Amazon comments!

We have been crating our puppy in this crate since he was about 2 months old & weighed 10 lb (now almost a year old & a little over 30 lb). Originally we thought we were going to be adopting a full grown 50 lb black lab which is why we had such a large crate for such a small dog. We decided to keep it & see how it worked out since it came with the divider panel. We've been very happy with the results. Pros -Even when we first started crating him, we were able to size his space with the divider panel to an adequate size for him to sleep comfortably but not too much room for him to use it as a bathroom as well. Adding size to the interior wasn't much of a hassle, just slide the panel back one set of vertical wires as puppy needs more space. He is now fully grown (or very nearly there) and we have removed the divider panel. He sleeps in it every night. -Assembly is a breeze. The crate comes as a single assembly that you pretty much just unfold & lock into place. There are extra pieces (the divider panel & carrying handles), but those are optional to use. Breaking it back down for storage or transport is equally simple. Just reverse the process of assembly & it folds right back up to the original packaged size & shape. -Portability: This crate folds up to a pretty small size (when compared to its open shape). It's not light, but having a crate that can be packed in the car for a road trip is very useful for weekend trips, going to see family, etc. Also, the included carrying handles make hauling it around quite manageable Cons -If you are using the divider panel, the side door is useless until your dog grows large enough. Not really a huge issue, but make sure you don't get a crate that's too large or you'll never be able to use the side door. We ended up positioning the crate with the side door against a wall while he was still small so now that we aren't using the divider panel we still don't use the side door. -The bottom plastic floor can slide in & out of the crate while the crate is fully assembled. A few times we have found that the tray slides out if he is leaning up against the back wall of the crate (basically pushing it out with his weight). If you notice it you can just knock it back in but over an extended period (if you are crating all day), this could push out quite far & then expose whatever floor is below the crate to potential damage. Neither of these complaints is substantial enough for me not to like the product. Excellent in my opinion, and very reasonably priced compared to the competition.

This item is pretty solid and stable. We have had wire crates previously that came apart and hurt our dog, so be cautious. Any wire crate can become dangerous if they start separating at the welds, so *please* be sure to watch your pets consistently and check the crate over for any issues frequently! With that said, so far we have not had any issues with this crate(coming on 2 years of ownership with about 2 months of total use over that time as we don't crate them at home). The build feels very solid and it does not seem to have any separating/breaking of the welds at all. We typically prefer plastic shell crates because they are safer, but for some of our longer trips, fitting a large plastic shell crate(even nested) just isn't possible. This gave us an alternative for some of those longer trips so that we wouldn't take up as much space in the car. This is easy to use, and it has done a great job of keeping one large-ish dog(~60-70lbs) and one small dog(~12-15lbs) crated. Our dogs are 2 peas in a pod and get along great, so we don't really need the divider, but we have used it to be sure we could keep them separated if the need ever came up. We were pretty impressed with how easy everything was to setup, and even how easily installed the divider is, while still feeling secure and solid. There was a little flex that occurred at some point in shipping with one of the end sections, so the latch for the door on that panel is a little tight, but it wasn't bad enough to request a replacement. It also hasn't gotten any worse, so we haven't tried fixing it. I suspect it would be easy enough to slightly flex/bend the metal hinges a little, but I didn't see the need to risk the integrity of the metal since it isn't very far off. All in all, this is a great option for a travel crate for us, and the build quality and materials used for this price point seems outstanding. Our last crate(the one that broke down and injured our dog before we knew what to look for) was slightly smaller and was actually more expensive. So seeing this crate at the price it was had us doubtful at first, but so far we have been very impressed and see no signs of any rust or failure in the materials that could become a danger. Very impressed and would likely buy this brand again for travel crates if we find a need.

I was concerned ordering these dog crates online, unseen, but willing to take a chance after looking at the prices in the pet stores - which were roughly twice as much. We have two puppies in our house, border collies, and it seemed like the best way to protect ourselves from damage was to crate them at night. One of our Newfoundland puppies ate the stairway; another ate the hallway floor. Then a border collie ate the couch... It seems like all puppies pick their favorite snack. I'm generally against crates but after experiencing how well they have worked for these puppies, I'm now on the bandwagon. We got the puppies when they were a little less than 8 weeks old, an estimate as they are rescues. They both voluntarily went into their own crates and into each other's crates. The hardest part was sometimes to get them into separate crates. The first thing the littlest puppy did was close the door on his brother, locking him in. They both drag their favorite toys into their crates and go in them to take naps and to take time outs from small children. At 4 months old, 30 and 36 pounds, they are still perfectly happy with their crates. We started with one crate from our cocker spaniel, purchased a second iCrate 24-By-18 -By-19-Inch, and then jumped up to Midwest Life Stages Double-Door Folding Metal Dog Crate, 36 Inches by 24 Inches by 27 Inches when we got the idea of how quickly the puppies are growing. There are pieces that you can use to make the crates smaller by about six inches. I used them to make the crates smaller but I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference. These are giant cages though, in my experience! I had them under a counter in the dining room and had to move them into the kitchen so they would have enough room to be side by side. You'll really want to measure them out. I didn't have much choice in this size, other than to buy the middle-sized crates and then later buy this size. It seemed like I would have ordered an intermediate sized crate only for them to grow out of them in a few more months. I threw a rug on top of the crates so the dogs have darkened rooms while they are sleeping and the cats can look down at them from above. This has actually turned into one of the cats' favorite places to sleep. They like to check on the puppies, and then go to sleep above them. Anyway, these are really easy to set up. It's pretty self-explanatory as you open up the crate. Good thing, because the directions were under the plastic pan, the last thing we pulled out while setting it up. You basically pull it up the long side and then pull up the two ends once you have the rectangle. It kind of unfolds and snaps together. The directions also included a page of dos and don'ts for puppy crate training, which I found interesting. They seemed pretty common sense like.
