Frisco Fold & Carry Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate

I recently bought a Midwest crate in the 42 in (new large breed puppy) and a Frisco crate in the 36 in (adult medium size dog). The Frisco crate is definitely not as sturdy as the Midwest brand. The crate is more wobbly, even with all the catches on the right area. The bars seems to be a bit smaller as well. What I do like is the door latch. It has more of a hook/stopper on the end so it seems like an escape artist won’t be able to escape. I’m fortunate enough that my adult dog using the Frisco crate is already crate trained and doesn’t mess with the doors when left alone. The crate I received seems to have a small gap in the side door, but my adult dog doesn’t mind being in her crate so I don I recently bought a Midwest crate in the 42 in (new large breed puppy) and a Frisco crate in the 36 in (adult medium size dog).

I bought this crate to use for cat and kitten fostering. I needed something sturdy enough that cats and kittens couldn't squeeze through the bars and escape, but light enough that I can easily break it down, move it around, and lift it up onto a table by myself. This does the trick! It's more sturdy than some of the cheaper crates you can get, but it's still lightweight enough I can lift and carry it. I also really like the latch design. I've used a number of crates from different brands, and often a really determined cat, hitting the door over and over again, can jimmy those latches open. These latches have additional design elements that make them much more reliable. In addition, one I bought this crate to use for cat and kitten fostering.

In addition, one of the things criticized in another review (the fact that the front and side doors aren't closer together) actually makes it much more useful for my purposes. There's plenty of room for me to attach a hammock to the area between the two doors, making the litterbox I place underneath available to both doors. My only beef is that, at least on mine, the distance between the bottom of the crate where the tray slides out and the bar above it is just a little too large so the holder that's supposed to keep the tray in doesn't click in place properly. I also have a Midwest Life Stages 48" crate. It is sturdier, built solidly, but it is also a good 15 lbs heavier, making it much more difficult to break down and move around. Not to mention that it is, as of this writing, more than twice as expensive! If you are looking for a solid, well-made, but portable crate for cat fostering, I can definitely recommend this product! Like most of the Frisco products I've tried, it's a good compromise between quality and price. (I'll let others speak to dog fostering.) … more

We have been having issues with one of our cats refusing to use the litter box. This now serves as his apartment when we are asleep or not home. it is comfortably large enough for him, a litter box (which strangely enough he uses when he can't just walk away from the mess), food, and water. I used the divider panel horizontally rather than vertically to make an upstairs loft with a piece of board so his paws won't slip thru the gaps. the first few days he was not happy but now when i let him out, he runs right back to it when i go to clean his litter box.

This is a great crate! We bought it for the new puppy. It’s the large, as he is a Rottie and will need the space fairly soon. It comes with a divider and two doors. Lets you adjust the size and can use in more places than a crate with just one opening. I think my favorite thing about this crate was the ease of assembly. Follow the directions and it takes just a couple of minutes. We run agility competition with our older Rottie, so have been through a few crates. Highly recommend.

This kennel is sturdy and does what it’s supposed to. HOWEVER it is sharp, EVERYWHERE. I read a review that it was but didn’t think much of it. My daughter bumped into the side (she’s 2) and now has a long scratch down her leg. I went to latch the kennel and now have a long strath down my arm. This is ridiculous, I would not recommend, especially if you have little ones. It should be made better.

This is a pretty standard crate. Was a little bit of a pain to set up but probably only took 5 minutes in total. It doesn't have the smoothest latches, one of them takes some serious effort to close. The side door doesn't work when you have the puppy divider installed, but that's kind of common sense so I don't hold that against them. I was disappointed with the location of the side door - somehow I must have seen a customer's picture where the door was on the left side of the crate (when facing the front door), not the right. I was disappointed when I got it and it was on the right. But I suppose I should have trusted the company's pictures. I would love the option to have it on the other side This is a pretty standard crate. Was a little bit of a pain to set up but probably only took 5 minutes in total.

I would love the option to have it on the other side, since that works better for the area I'm putting it in. I may try and use a wrench to swap the two panels so that it is oriented that way. What really blew me away was Chewy's customer service. I first ordered the 36 inch crate and realized it would be too big for my new Cocker Spaniel puppy, even once he's fully grown. I called Chewy customer service and they immediately replaced it with the 30 inch and refunded me the difference in price. They even let me keep the 36 inch crate (I suppose the shipping cost isn't worth it to them), and suggested I donate it to a shelter, which is what I did. The quality of the crate is about what you would expect for the price, but the Chewy customer service is really top notch. I will definitely be ordering from them again! … more

This crate works so well for our pup. I like the option of having two different doors. We leave the side door open all the time and many times our pup will go into her crate and sleep there. Set up was super easy and although we didn't use the divider, I can see where it would be so helpful if you had a growing puppy so that you didn't have to purchase (or borrow) different size crates. AND, the price was very reasonable. We are extremely satisfied.

I was impressed by how many great reviews this crate had for such a great price. It came pretty much exactly as I expected, though it's sturdier than I thought it would be. I would give it five stars if it weren't for the sharp bars where the side door is. I cut my finger unexpectedly while installing the divider and I wasn't even being forceful with it. Upon further examination I found many sharp areas where the bars are connected to each other; not just around the side door. For the price of the crate I honestly can't complain. However, I do worry a bit that my new pup will cut her nose.

So I got this crate originally for my 10 week old puppy. It comes with a divider to make the crate smaller to help crate train. The big flaw is the position of the side door, which in my opinion, is way too far back. It should be positioned by the front door to allow a maximum amount of space to section off the back of the crate AND be able to use the side door. With this configuration, if you insert the divider to make a space small enough for a puppy, it disables the use of the side door since the divider needs to hook onto the side wires of the door. Poorly designed but overall it's been a good crate.

Fast shipping. Great price. Mess up on shipping speed.... a crate mat was out of stock, and they held up the whole order because of it, without contacting me... but after waiting a week, I contacted them and the eye quickly sent it out. I would of liked to know it was going to be delayed.... but over all. Good price and descent quality
