Pet Gear The Other Door Double Door Collapsible Wire Dog Crate & Plush Pad, Sage

Bought this because it looked great and had good reviews. Very unique looking and unfolds easily. The slide clips work great. Easy to open the top or doors at either end. However the two clips that hold top to sides is a poor design. One clip fell apart. Was able to reassemble it correctly and got it to work. The two clips that pivot down to hold the wire side panel looks cheap. Curious to see how it holds up to multiple folding and reassemblies.

Very nice crate but no sturdy because the one side folds. Had to send it back. :(

I bought this crate based on the reviews I had read. We have a 45 lb catahoula leopard hound and she does not like to be alone. We put her in the crate about 3 times and she managed to get out on the 3rd use. Now the garage door is bent and one of the grates on the side door is bent so we can no longer use it . If you have a dog that is calm when you leave I am sure this is a perfect crate but for a high anxiety dog I would not recommend. Also the quality of materials used is very poor.

I purchased the large crate for my 8 month old golden. I read all the reviews and decided to buy it based on the fact it was easy to break down, opened from the side (like a garage door), and not an ugly black crate. Not going to lie, when I pulled it out of the box it was heavy. Then I connected it together (super easy) and absolutely hated it. The color was terrible, it seemed huge!, and all together an eye sore. However, my dog loved it. I think she enjoys the garage type door on the crate. A lot of the reviews said it wasn’t as sturdy as they would hope but it has exceeded my expectations on what sturdy is...my dog literally jumps on and off (yes, not in the crate...on) the crate like a goat I purchased the large crate for my 8 month old golden.

We bought this as a condo for our golden retriever pup to sleep in next to us upstairs (rather than in his crate downstairs). He loves it! He knows when he’s in there, it’s time to sleep. We love that the top can stay open - we found out he especially likes that (we closed it one time and he wouldn’t go to sleep). And it easily folds up for transport. My daughter takes our pup to her place sometimes and she just folds up this condo (we call it that) so he has a nice place to sleep at her apartment. Has a carrying bag to help with transport. Highly recommend it - and it costs much less on chewy than at other retailers selling the exact same product.

This crate was highly recommended to us. The garage door is great for when you’re home and the dog can go in and nap. The problem with it is that it can be pulled in and they can go under it and escape. We wired it so it can’t open and he just pushed and pushed until the clasps broke on both of the other doors. We have them wired together too and he goes in through the top door...until he figures out he can push it open too. He was 5 months old when we got the crate and 3 doors were broken within a week.

I purchased the medium 'Other Door' crate to bring home a new Belgian Shepherd puppy. The wheels are a big plus, it's relatively light compared to all metal crates, and it was perfect for travel. It is not a super sturdy crate, and if you have a dog who is determined to get out, it's probably not your match. The light metal rattles, but was easy to fix with a bit of duct tape on the edges - worth the three doors and the maneuverability for my use. The mat that comes with it is, in my opinion, worthless. It slides in the car, ending up a chew toy for my young dog, and scaring him at times. It also sheds non-stop and the small pieces can be a hazard.

The latches are tough, but you get used to them, and they are pretty secure for a good traveler. I LOVE the three doors, as I use this both in the car for safe containment and with the 'garage' door open for a 'place' in the house. We are now on a bigger size as my puppy outgrew the first crate. I would recommend it if you can get around the few character flaws. … more

I have to slam the latch shut with the heel of my hand and its very hard to open my wife can't open it and it has so many opening that it doesn't line up correctly leaving some gaps, definitely not worth he premium price.

My pup will be 70 lbs. She grew out of her other medium crate at 4 months. So we bought the large. The medium, due to the straight sides probably would have been big enough. My husband and I both simultaneously got in side by side up to our hips in order to encourage our pup to enter. So she climbed in under us, making three in the kennel. If your dog likes the confined security of a kennel, build a cardboard box to determine what size is best for your pup. Our dog was spayed at 12 weeks by the shelter. It makes them grow taller and we needed the leg room. I suspect that the medium would have been ok because the floor is wider than most polymer crates.

great cage that my Yorkie has no problem going in and laying down. Just wish I could get exact cage a little bit smaller for her size. Sage color is really nice. I was a bit hesitant in going with sage but pleased when i actually received.
