Solid, one piece construction

This was purchased for my 60 pound dog, who suffers from extreme noise phobia. The crate is a solid, one piece construction - nothing rattles or creates any sounds

This was purchased for my 60 pound dog, who suffers from extreme noise phobia. The crate is a solid, one piece construction - nothing rattles or creates any sounds that would be a trigger. I purchased the large, it is an excellent fit for her long legs - she stands approximately 27 inches at the shoulder. The crate has nice vent holes while still being quite cozy inside. There are side handles for easy carrying and all the inside walls are smooth - nothing to chew on like ledges or seams.

Seems well-made and durable

Good size for my lanky 55 lb dog who didn’t quite fit in her previous crate. Well-made and seems like it will last a long time

Sturdiness

The crate is incredibly sturdy. Expensive but well worth if you have a 50-60 pound dog who likes to move around often. Dog just goes in the crate when she wants
