Size
How to select the best size crate:
- While your dog is standing, measure your dog from the tip of their nose to base of their tail.
- While your dog is sitting or standing, measure your dog from the top of their head to the floor.
- Add 4 inches to determine maximum measurements. Remember, your dog should be able to stand up and turn around while in their crate.

If the grate in the bottom above the tray is removable, how is it held in place to avoid being pulled up by the dog? If you can share a picture of it close up, I would be very appreciative.
On the latches there is a small hole thorugh which it would be possible to insert a thin piece of wire or something that would ensure that the dog could not jiggle the latches open. Am I missing the part that goes through the holes?
Is there a specific crate cover that fits either size?
Do you make this particular cage in size xtra large?

How heavy this crate was. It's definitely steel!

IAssembly was not hard, but there were several small changes in the crate( like screw holes) that were not updated in the instructions but I was able to figure out. The weight of the parts made it a bit hard to assemble without a second person. But it definitely what I needed for my very strong, escape artist.
It seems like they have made some improvements!

I has hesitant to get this crate due to people reporting that their dogs were able to rattle the latch open. On the crate I got, the latch was engineered in such a way that this should not be possible, so it seems they have improved in that area. Now, you have to turn the latch bolt 90 degrees in order to slide it open or closed. Additionally, there is a hole in the latch bar where you can secure it with a lock or cotter pin (not included). My only hesitation is that the latch bolt closes just past the second securing plate... I wish it went 1/8-1/4 further. However, since there are 2 securing plates, it shouldn't be an issue. Ultimately I chose this brand and this crate because they had a claim of strong welds whereas other brands had reviewers complaining of spot welds. This crate is very sturdy, and has kept my 90 pound German Shepherd inside for the few weeks we have had it now (after she chewed through a traditional wire crate and airline style crate). I was grateful for the quick shipping from Chewy!

Young 50lb dog, heavy chewer who escaped 3 other crate types, including the “airline” style crate, seems happy and safely contained by this crate. Well worth the cost. Reasonable assembly time and effort. I put the tray inside for his comfort rather than underneath.

We have a mini-bernadoodle puppy (9 months old) that trashed the traditional style crate we bought at a local store, so we needed something that would keep him safe when we left the house. This crate is perfect!! It easily rolls from room to room.

We purchased this crate for our Vizsla who suddenly became destructive and anxious. This is a substantial crate! Good headroom and she loves it! It’s very easy to put together! One tiny drawback, the bottom tray is slick and a little slippery, wished it had come with a bottom mat or the finish on the tray not so slick. We just put down extra blankets.
I bought two of these crates and I’m very happy with them. I bought the large and I can fit in it with my pup. Probably only needed the medium for my 35 lb pup but
I bought two of these crates and I’m very happy with them. I bought the large and I can fit in it with my pup. Probably only needed the medium for my 35 lb pup but it’s okay. The material is durable and assembly isn’t bad. I did it myself as it is very straightforward. Recommend not fully tightening the screws as you go as the top and bottom need a little wiggle room to get them into place before fastening. Good buy! Cat enjoys it too. For reference she is 7lbs
Durable, Portable, and Easy
The instructions were easy to follow, and assembly was very easy. I may recommend having another person help you, as holding the parts by yourself can be a bit heavy
The instructions were easy to follow, and assembly was very easy. I may recommend having another person help you, as holding the parts by yourself can be a bit heavy and tiresome. The tray underneath makes cleanup easy, especially since my dog has separation anxiety and will sometimes pee on herself. The bars are durable, and the lockable wheels make it easy to move around or keep in one place if needed. My dog has tried to chew on the bars, and the outside coating of the bar came off and she gave up on it.

I bought this crate for my pitbull mix based off a recommendation from one of my dog trainers. My girl has busted a few of the cheaper wire crates before, prying open the sides and squeezing herself through. While it's amusing to come home and find that she's broken free again, it's dangerous for her (could get stuck and/or eat things in the house that she shouldn't). With this crate, she has yet to figure out how to break free. The wheels are a nice touch and can be easily locked/unlocked, and the catch-pan in the bottom compartment of the crate makes it easy to clean up after any accidents or spills. The crate itself is spacious - for reference, my girl is 50lbs, but the crate could fit my 75lb German shepherd instead if I wanted to put him in there (though I won't need to - he does not break the wire crates because he's a very good boy). For the cost, I am satisfied with this crate!

We rescued a Pit Pup. She's been staying in my Ferrets Travel Crate (Midwest Wabbitat Crate). She seems to have just a little bit of separation anxiety so i have been taking her to work with me every day for the month we've had her. For the occasions that warrant extended times in her crate, I was certain she would Destroy my Ferrets crate, so I did some research and came up with The Empire Heavy Duty Crate. There are a few on the market at better or comparable prices, HOWEVER, look carefully at the Description. The Frisco Heavy Duty ones look great, But state that the bars are 22 gauge steel, where the Empire is 20 gauge. Things like this do make a difference in overall durability and, in the case a muscle dog goes Nutso, Can keep her contained safely. Now Selah, doesn't show any signs of that kind of behavior, But knowing that her crate will last through her Adult years, without needing to upgrade or replace, is a nice thought. Its Solid, Secure, and large enough for her to be comfortable. In addition, we got her a nice plush bed mat and she loves going in for leisurely rests, (especially when she gets kicked off the couch for being too mouthy and hyper)
Belgian Shepard fits great

So far love this cage. Big drawback the bars used for the cage floor. Very far apart and looked not comfortable at all. Solved by taking metal catch tray meant to be on bottom and using it inside cage. I don’t plan on having dog poop or pee in cage anyway. Drawback to using pan for floor is the metal is very loud when he moves around. It is also very large. Does not fit through bedroom door so be sure to measure first before purchasing. We have in room with double doors. But all in all love the cage. Sturdy. Wheels are a plus. Very heavy. Dog can stand turn around lie down no problem. Big improvement over plastic cage.
