MidWest Cozy Crates

A Cozy Crate for Every Home

As instinctual den animals, it's important for dogs to have a comfy place to nest. Crates also help with potty training and reducing habits like chewing or barking, while providing a safe, den-like home for your fur baby. MidWest designs their crates with safety, security and comfort as their priority. No matter the age of your dog, you're sure to find the right fit for your unique pal.

Convenience and Comfort, All in One

For a lightweight crate that requires no tools, folds flat, and still has the security of heavy-duty slide-bolt latches, look no further than the MidWest iCrate. It’s made for easygoing dogs and even comes with a divider panel so it can grow with your pup. Pair that with a removable, ease-to-clean plastic pan, sturdy carrying handle, and surface protective rubber feet to create the recipe for a crate made just for your dog.

A Crate for All LifeStages

Made with heavy-gauge steel and wire mesh, MidWest's Life Stages is a sturdy cage that can offer extra security. Rubber rollers protect your floors while a sturdy carrying handle makes it easy to move before your pal gets in. With rounded corners to protect your dog, slide bolt latches to keep him safely inside, and a divider panel that can be moved—and removed as your pup grows—it's a crate for all life stages.

Secure, Sturdy and Safe

For optimal security and safety, the Ultima Pro is MidWest's most durable crate, made of professional-gauge steel designed to stand up to chewers and stronger dogs. The dual door access allows your dog to enter and exit on either side—but only when you say so! Your dog will feel safe and cozy in this retreat, made just for those pups who need a little extra safekeeping.

How much does the Large crate weigh?

Answer by QueenBeeZJan 15, 2023
35 pounds

What is the difference between the I crate and life stage crate by MidWest.

Answer by ChewyJan 18, 2018
Some iCrate Models (1518 - 1536) are narrower and lower than the Life Stages crates. The Wire Grid is closer together on the iCrate Models, while the Life Stages crate's Bars are closer together. If you're looking for a  lighter product, then the iCrate models are for you. If you prefer a stronger product and don't mind the extra weight, the Life Stages models are for you.

2 doors and spacious for 2 smaller sisters to share

This crate is a nice size. My dogs are 17 lb and 25 lb sisters that don’t like to be separated when they sleep. This crate is the perfect size for them to stay

This crate is a nice size. My dogs are 17 lb and 25 lb sisters that don’t like to be separated when they sleep. This crate is the perfect size for them to stay together. This cage has 2 doors, so it’s convenient for access if it needs to be moved. This cage also folds up easily and is easy to clean and reassemble. Durable and sturdy crate. My pups feel safe in it and voluntarily go to it when they’re sleepy.

Siff Door and No Handle

Crate works great for it's intended purpose and my puppy loves being in it. Only 3 stars because the door to open and close is extremely stiff and doesn't move easily

Crate works great for it's intended purpose and my puppy loves being in it. Only 3 stars because the door to open and close is extremely stiff and doesn't move easily. It was also missing the carrying handle.

Great service. Fast delivery and in time for Christmas.

Toys had good designs and very cute. Crate was so easy to assemble and could be taken for overnights elsewhere.

Great crate, but a touch short

I bought this in 2022 for my future puppy, and now have been able to start using it. I went to order a primo pad (IYKYK) and unfortunately the actual measurements

I bought this in 2022 for my future puppy, and now have been able to start using it. I went to order a primo pad (IYKYK) and unfortunately the actual measurements of this crate don’t match any standard crate (or pad) sizes, so now I have to order custom. It was supposed to be 36”x23” but actually is 35”x22” It’s a solid crate otherwise but that’s annoying and I wish I knew sooner.

Choice of sizes and openings

My only regret is that the door openings aren't reversible or can be ordered with a choice of openings.

Item was exactly what it claimed to be.

I wasn’t expecting amazing, nor did I get it. I received an entirely serviceable dog crate at a reasonable price. Exactly what I ordered. ; )
