MidWest LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate

Ordered this for my newest Rottie Pup Dean, several months back when he was 4 months old. We used the divider for a little while until we were sure he wasn't going to potty inside of it. We then removed it and gave him full access and he's been doing great with it and going inside on his own at night ever since. It's very well made, and quite sturdy. I love the fact it has 2 doors on it. He's a week from 9 months old now and close to his adult height with plenty of room still to grow if needed. As you can see below in the picture, he loves to pose for the camera :)

I have purchased 14 MidWest crates and 4 MidWest xpens over the years. They are great. Good price and they last longer than any other kenneling type product I have had. I paid $90 for a small crate at a pet store once and it didn’t hold up at all. I heard about MidWest products from animal boarding professionals. They aren’t just great for the money — they are great because they are a great product! They are long lasting, especially the ones from Chewy. The only issue I ever had was with one I bought someplace else. It arrived bent and a piece was broken so I only buy them from Chewy now. They are so long lasting that when I no longer need a certain size I donate them to rescue organizations I have purchased 14 MidWest crates and 4 MidWest xpens over the years. They are great.

After noticing my dog has outgrown her crate the search was on. One of the reasons I chose this one was it's a little bigger than the standard crates. It's an inch wider and 2 inches taller, and it all helps. I was concerned about other reviews that said it was hard to put together. I found it easy. It just opened up, unfolded and fit together out of the box easy peasy. The end door was not aligned quite right, but that was fixed with a few taps of a rubber mallet. I find it to be a good quality, no paint chipped. The most important thing is she's happy. It fit so nicely in the room and the extra inches helps. What was so amazing thing is that I ordered it one day, and it was here the After noticing my dog has outgrown her crate the search was on.

I purchased the MidWest LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate in X-Large 48L X 30W X 33 H, to replace the existing Intermediate double door size, 36-in L x 24-in W x 27-in H crate. If your dog is like mine, who loves to stretch out when sleeping, you NEED to get this size crate. I have a boxer mix (55 lb), and I was afraid Bria might have hip issues later, because of being in a crate that was only adequate. This crate arrived in great condition, is sturdy, well-made, and easy to assemble. She absolutely loves this X-large crate. I also bought the MidWest QuietTime Couture Paxton Reversible Dog Crate Mat in X-Large, which I highly recommend. The mat is made by MidWest, and fits I purchased the MidWest LifeStages Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate in X-Large 48L X 30W X 33 H, to replace the existing Intermediate double door size, 36-in L x 24-in W x 27-in H crate.

I also bought the MidWest QuietTime Couture Paxton Reversible Dog Crate Mat in X-Large, which I highly recommend. The mat is made by MidWest, and fits the crate perfectly, providing the support and cushioning needed. I put a sheet on top of the mat, with a fleece blanket on one end for warmth; the other end has the sheet, so she can decide her own comfort. She loves pillows, so there is one at each end. Now that she has the X-large crate, she has stopped rearranging her bedding at night, if she got too warm. But she has never been destructive. She uses the X-large crate whenever she wants to take a good nap, and can fully stretch-out. And she leaves the bedding alone. Note: I only cover the crate on the back and partial sides for a den-like feeling. It is their safe-haven. Never completely cover the crate on all sides, or they may feel they are being punished, and may promote destructive behaviors. (The other crate does not go to waste; it is used throughout the day by both the cats and dogs for naps.) … more

My dog is 55lbs and I bought this one because it is 27" tall. It is a little snug for him but it will do! We only use it at night. The only negative thing is that one of the doors is really stiff but im sure with time it will loosen up.

I have been searching for a crate for my boxer/lab mix who is only 35 pounds but all legs! She has been in a 42in crate for a few years but it was huge and took up half my living room. My issue with other 36in crates is that they are only 25in in height. I finally found this one that is 27in height and gives my pup the couple of inches she needed to not hit her head! This one is perfect and I really appreciated the fast delivery- only 2 days!!

Love this two door crate! So handy depending on where I set it depends on the door I use. I prefer wire crates as they are so much more open and airy. This crate is well made too even though my Pom is only 5 lbs.

My 20 lb rescued Boston Terrier, bent the wire on a larger similar wire kennel. After purchasing the Midwest, I still had my doubts. The MidWest kennel was put to a 3 hour test,. It held up!!! Nothing was bent!! I can breath easy knowing Gracie Jean (aka Crazy Susan) will be safe in her new kennel, while I'm gone.

We use it in our vehicle and the doors rattle so I use clips on them. We’ve had several MudWest crates and this one seems to be the worst. Other than that, another good MidWest crate.

The crate itself looks great and seems sturdy, so 5 stars for that. Very easy to put together. Only down side was the measurement posted on Chewy. It shows 36" on the size chart and diagram. But the tag on the crate says 37.375". I ordered the matching MidWest crate cover in 36" and it doesn't fit. I called Midwest to see if they had one that fits. Their rep said the cover doesn't fit Life Stages crates because they are a larger build than 36". I would have ordered a different MidWest crate model if I knew this one was over 37". Hopefully they will update the sizing chart soon.
