MidWest Ovation Single Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate

I first bought this style crate when I had storage space under a set of floating steps. The crate could stay tucked away but always available to my big boy whenever he wanted to rest in it. I now have a total of three. This new design is an inch larger, has extra locking features and very smooth operation. It is made well from good materials. It breaks down easily for transport and though large the crate carries well with the included handles. The divider facilitated meeting the space needs of my new pup. As she grew and did not soil in her crate I could give her more and more space. This garage door style is my fav. I keep five crates set up at all times with the doors open and I wish I first bought this style crate when I had storage space under a set of floating steps.

Love the cage I have pits and there is plenty of space and I did have to replace the tray as I said I have pits and they love to chew but customer service made it so easy to replace. The tray is somewhat flexible so it won't creak under the weight of large dogs as easily as some other would. All in all I would recommend this 100% it is a great cage at a great price.

NOT a box store, service and prices BETTER than box store. It's great to support THIS country. These guys are truly the best and you won't beat the customer service and super fast shipping.

This crate is terrible! Especially if this is for crate training a puppy. The sliding “garage”door is difficult and noisy sliding up and down. Returning crate and getting the Ultima 2 door one

This is the second crate I've bought like this (adding to the pack!). we have large dogs and a small house, so having the door disappear to the top of the crate rather than swinging open and taking up more room is a huge bonus for us! also- the divider that comes with it makes it great for puppy potty training, but then can grow into it as they get larger! a good quality functional crate, folds up flat when not in use.

I was so excited about this crate, so excited in fact, that I ordered three. EVERY SINGLE DOOR HAS FALLEN APART. Do not waste your money. Not worth the price premium. I am also reaching out to the manufacturer to complain. This is not Chewy’s fault, rather a horrible design on the part of Midwest.

TLDR-Save your money and buy cheaper regular door crate. Many years ago, Kong contracted with a crate manufacturer to make a kennel like this one with a ‘garage-style’ door. We still use one of the ones we purchased, and it is still awesome. Unfortunately, they do not make that crate anymore. I saw this on Chewy and got excited. I am SO disappointed. The build quality is super cheap. The crate we received is already caved down on the top. The door (which was the entire reason we bought it!) catches terribly and doesn’t slide well. Paint has already scraped off as a result after only a handful of uses, so it will likely rust quickly, too. The noise it makes is awful and ear-splitting.

I would return it, but we need to space-saving feature of the door, and these styles are harder to accidentally not close all the way. So disappointed. The Kong version also had 2 garage style doors-one along short side and other along long side. It’s really too bad that is not available. … more

The sliding door came broken and had to use zip ties to even use it. It was a good size for our doodle, but door isn't very sturdy.

Saves space. The "door" is a bit noisy at first. And you have to make sure the tray is pushed back all the way or the door does not shut completely. But overall satisfied, it does the job. We don't really open and close the door any more, because our pup is trained now.

We purchased the L/43" version of this crate after my dog started to outgrow his 36" crate of the same brand and design (I'd been naively optimistic that he'd be one of the smaller pups of the litter, when in fact he ended up being the largest!). When I started unpacking the new one he started standing on it while it was still collapsed, he was actually excited to get in it. I loved the garage door style since saving that bit of space was important for us; the door style also helps since he's a bit of a wuss and the door getting knocked into would surely have been a deterrent for getting him trained to go into his crate on command. I don't mind that we can't put things on top of his crate, personally We purchased the L/43" version of this crate after my dog started to outgrow his 36" crate of the same brand and design (I'd been naively optimistic that he'd be one of the smaller pups of the litter, when in fact he ended up being the largest!).

You do have to be mindful that you don't pull the door ALL the way up and out of the track, but if you're not being too quick when opening it this shouldn't be an issue. Just be steady opening it and you can see when you've opened it far enough. … more
