EliteField 4-Door Collapsible Soft-Sided Dog Crate with Curtains

I purchased the M/L crate for my 48 lb dog who is about to have knee surgery. He sleeps in bed with me, and I needed a way to be able to keep him confined at night and not jump off the bed during his recovery period. I opened all the sides and top so he could explore the crate without fear of being trapped... it took all of 10 minutes and a couple treats before he was completely comfortable. I used the rest of the day to put down each of the mesh sides, then i put down the curtain sides, all except 1 side. By the end of the day, he was so comfy he didnt want to come out! The mat on the bottom is abit stiff, so i will replace it with a softer bottom piece since he will be spending extended I purchased the M/L crate for my 48 lb dog who is about to have knee surgery.

After extensive research, this was the only soft crate I could find with the option to be covered on all four sides. All other crates had at least one side that was mesh only with no solid cover. My Australian cattle dog is extremely reactive to visual stimuli, and in just one week of bringing her to agility class with this new crate, I've noticed a decrease in her reactivity because she can't see me walking back and forth to set bars for the other teams in class. The crate also seems sturdy, has ample room, and is easy to transport. Highly recommended!

This is a very nice looking crate and the flaps for privacy are an added bonus HOWEVER, the zippers are very easy for a dog to paw at and open to let themselves out. Our 8 week old puppy has no problem opening the crate by simply using a paw to move the zippers and let me tell you, it has been quite “fun” house training with a dog who can let himself out anytime he wants.

Spent a long time researching soft sided travel crates to find one that hit the sweet spot of quality, size, and price and this feels like it was the right buy for my currently-six-months-old puppy. Initially set up outside to air out (some reviews mentioned an odor which I did notice after opening it), then moved it next to her wire crate for a few days so she could acclimate through proximity & regular treats fed in it with doors open/closed. Went to a cabin & a hotel and used it during the nights, two brief afternoons, and a big chunk of one whole day. The multiple doors came in handy for the different, varied locations and the curtains are great!

Granted, our puppy is well crate-trained and used to being covered, so her quick & easy adaptation is likely due to that. For the humans: love all the handles on the crate (assembled, folded up, and carrying case) & light weight. Both are important as I’m 5’ 1” & petite. It also fits neatly in the trunk of my Honda Civic. … more

This crate is great for traveling. It collapses and is light weight. We use it for hotels, dog shows, …. I really like the ability to raise and lower the sides. And it nice to be able to open from the sides or the top. This probably isn’t a good choice for a dog that isn’t comfortable in a crate.

We have a tiny goldendoodle puppy and have had this less than 4 months for him. He just ripped his third hole through the sides simply by standing against it when he sees us come home. I’d understand if he was a chewer but he’s not. Looks great and is easy to move but unfortunately we had to toss it.

My 2 year old lab was able to separate the zippered mesh from the canvas and escape the kennel. There is only one line of stitching that barely catches the canvas-like material. This area needs to be reinforced. The idea is great and the "crate" looks very cool - but there needs to be a review of the stitching with changes to make more secure.

We recently ordered this crate for our new Doodle puppy. She took to it immediately and loves being in it. It’s roomy and the adjustable flaps are great. It’s very durable, easy to set up and will be great for traveling with her. I highly recommend this crate.

Good materials, well made, folds easily for storage and transport, easy to set up, and versatile: indoor/outdoor, warm weather/cool weather. I would like to address the issue of complaints about this product because dogs can chew through it to escape. Of course they can! My dog is used to being crated in a hard kennel both when I am away at work and then at home during zoom meetings. I substituted this soft-sided crate for the Vari-Kennel during Zoom meetings for about two weeks, until she seemed to accept it. Buying this before you need it and going through an adjustment period will be worth your time.

Easy to put up and take down, curtains really help block out distractions. Love the handles. And love Chewy, who let me return a different crate that no one could figure out how to collapse. Thank you!!!!
