Frisco Indoor & Outdoor 3-Door Collapsible Soft-Sided Dog Crate

Got this soft crate for our 85 lb. GSD mix who is a big scaredy-cat during fireworks and Texas thunderstorms. Wanted to see if he would find refuge in this space instead of hiding out in the bathroom. We have to test this theory of mine, but I must say that the 42” size is more than ample for him. I literally crawl in there to encourage him to come in and it fits us both. LOL! The windows on the sides (2) do not close, so we’ll have to throw a blanket over the top and sides for our particular use (muffle sound and flashes of lightening). Love the large zippers and pulls. Large opening on very top, and one side. Frisco mat fits perfectly, highly recommend that, too.

Id have to agree with previous reviews about the sizing. I did not realize how big a 30 in crate would be! I have JRT mix puppy whose current length is 24in and I figure will get longer/bigger. (He’s already 5 months- so maybe not THAT much bigger) It’s so spacious compared to my pups regular crate. I bought this for travel/in case I have to take my pup somewhere like a dog sitters home- but once I opened the package and my pup saw the crate, he fell in love right away! He went right inside, I didn’t have to train him to go in or slowly entice him to go lol! I like how the crate has multiple zippers/windows to peak inside. I also love how the door can be rolled up and velcro’d to stay open. I Id have to agree with previous reviews about the sizing. I did not realize how big a 30 in crate would be!

It was a bit difficult for me to set the crate up- I was scared I’d break the rods but it seems well built, sturdy and made with good material. I do have a biter/chewer as he’s a puppy- so I will most definitely have to train/watch him while inside this crate. I think it’s worth the money! It made me really happy to see my pup happy/excited about it. He was sad when I put it away too! … more

Cliff notes if you don't want to read everything: Dog loves it. He is comfortable with both the short end door and longer side door. It is study enough for him, but he is not a chewer or destroyer. I love it. It is easy to put up and take down. I will probably buy the next size down for overnight travel. Mace is an 7yo, 80+lb mix of stubbornness, snuggles on his schedule, and soft supermodel ears. I was prepared for a week of snacks to get him into the cave, but - one cheese stick later - he was comfortably snuggled in. We got Mace when he was 4; we did not have a crate for him, but he is very good in the house by himself (no destruction, chewing, counter surfing, etc.).

We got Mace when he was 4; we did not have a crate for him, but he is very good in the house by himself (no destruction, chewing, counter surfing, etc.). But we did notice that he liked to sit in corners or have his head under something - like the console table. We thought maybe he was crate trained as a puppy and he would like his own space. We put the new crate in a corner he likes to sit and added one of his cushions. He has loved it since day one. One con - we about the XL one based on the size chart (+4in in length, +4in height). It is HUGE and given the way he sits and sleeps, I probably could have gone with the size smaller. But better too big than too small. We may buy a size smaller to take camping and other overnight trips. I have no trouble putting it up and taking it down, so this is an ideal option for overnight trips. So far we haven't taken him to a hotel, since we haven't had a crate for him, but this opens lots of new adventures now. … more

This is remarkable! Living in a hurricane state (FL), I really needed to consider a possible bug-out plan this year, not to mention having something for her to sleep in if I ever want to visit someone and take her with me, as she prefers to sleep in a crate. I am SO impressed. This gigantic crate, while large for storage, but will easily slide right under a bed, is pretty lightweight for it's size, and comes together so easily! It's made very well and is the PERFECT travel crate. In fact, it's so great, that it's a perfect home crate! I can now travel or visit family so much easier - THRILLED. I highly recommend this. Made VERY well - folds and slides under a bed with ease and for it's size is This is remarkable!

Our big puppy is currently scared of this crate - getting better- but that's why we have it out and have gotten him to eat treats in it thus far. Definitely recommend having your dog get into it before you actually need to use it! Its darker than a metal crate. We also know our dog isn't the bravest. Cats love it. It is easy to set up, seems cozy (if not scary), and although I wouldn't leave my dog unattended in it (would use the metal crate for that- which he loves) it does seem like it will be a good space when we are visiting a place and a way to contain him at night in a room with us.

This is a great looking kennel and we love the fact that we can fold it down for easier transport. We’ve been using the kennel as a safe place for our now almost 5 month puppy for about 3 months. Recently we have started closing her in the kennel while we make short outings. Today I came home after a 2 hour outing to find that she had chewed her way through the mesh siding and gotten out. This would be better for a dog that is used to kennels and is past the chewing stage.

My doodle has had extreme separation anxiety ever since covid stay at home order has slowly been being lifted. She completely destroyed her wire crate. Broke the door off and all. I was looking for a steel cage when I came upon this. Her first day being in here, for about an hour, she did amazing. The crate wasn't even moved, no holes or anything. The screening on this is super durable, the thing I didn't know was that the zippers actually have a clip they connect to so there's no chance of them unzipping it (which was one of my concerns) and it's legit like a den feeling. Only con i have i the screen is suppose to roll up and then velcro together, but my screen came with two of the same sides My doodle has had extreme separation anxiety ever since covid stay at home order has slowly been being lifted.

Very versatile too for vacations, camping, car rides where you have other passengers, etc. Great job to Frisco! … more

I bought this just to give my furbaby, Torra, her own space when she wants it & I'm really happy with this dog crate! It's a bit bigger than I expected (the measurements are accurate, I just didn't realize how huge it would be! I could seriously sleep in there- comfortably- with her. Lol. It would probably work great as a kids' play house/tent too.). She's a 65lb Boxer mix & she can roll over & stretch out with no problem whatsoever. It's super durable, easy to clean, & very sturdy too. She loves it. I highly recommend this!

I've bee fostering orphaned kittens for years and this crate is perfect for when they get bigger and need space for litter box, food, bedding and play. The last one I had lasted over 15 years and the screen was in great shape, considering how many kittens had climbed the sides, when I finally broke down and purchased a new one. The only reason I had to get a new one is "Uncle Ozzy" my 17 lb big guy though he was a baby sitter and kept laying on the top and it tore at the seam.

We have an 80 lb pit bull terrier mix and bought this to be his travel kennel and he loves it. We put it up at home to get him used to it and there was no resistance. He is kennel trained. He did scratch at it at first but we said no and he never did it again (he’s good with listening). We purchased the 42 inch one and it’s HUGE. We love it.
