EliteField 3-Door Folding Soft Dog Crate with Carrying Bag and Fleece Bed (2 Year Warranty), Indoor & Outdoor Pet Home (36" L x 24" W x 28" H, Blue Gray)

I ordered the extra large size of this foldable soft dog crate, and it’s huge—which is perfect for my dog! There's plenty of space for them to stretch out and relax, and they seem really comfortable in it. I also love how easy it is to fold up and store when not in use. It’s lightweight, convenient, and well-made. Great purchase for travel or home use!

I already have a wire crate at home that I use as a regular dog crate, but I didn't want to fuss with taking it down and setting it back up when I travel to places with my dog, since I use it as an end table as well. So I bought this to be a spacious hang-out crate for my 11-pound pomeranian mix when we go to K9 Nosework class (though he typically rides to/from while harnessed in a dog carseat). And at some point, I'd like to get a miniature poodle and have this be that dog's travel crate. That's why I got this size--so it would fit that size dog and not flatten/damage its topknot. (I'm a groomer and go to dog shows, so that's important to me). And I've gotten to use it as such, transporting my friend's mini poodle(s).For what I use it for now, it's plenty spacious for my pom mix to spread out and have a large, non-tipping water dish, a food dish, and a toy.It's lighter than a wire crate of the same size, and will not scratch your walls/doors/car paint if you are moving it around.The canvas is durable and resistant enough that it's fine to set on the ground outside (provided it's not really wet or muddy).I love all the different entry points; that makes this crate very versatile so you can put it almost anywhere and still access your pet. When I was transporting my friend's two (almost fully-grown) mini poodle puppies, the top-loading door was so helpful in keeping them from running out during loading/unloading. That feature would also be great if you're planning on using this to transport a large cat, as it's easier to set a cat into a large hole than to try to cram them sideways into a smaller entry. And the doors are all big enough you could get a small litter pan in and out.It is cumbersome to carry this crate, fully-assembled, with an animal in it, for more than a dozen or so feet, so either get a crate dolly (like the kind dog show people use), or look for something smaller (like a large, top-loading, plastic carrier, or a pet stroller) if you want something to manually tote your animal around in. Unless you're the Hulk; then do whatever you want. ;)I've also used this as a car travel crate for my pomeranian mix, and for my friend's mini poodles (up to two at a time, but it was a little cramped with two full-grown mini poos in there). I put it in the back seat with a seatbelt or two through the top handles. It is not super well-anchored that way, but it doesn't move around much; just rocks a bit. It's a bit large for a transport crate for my pom--I'd be worried about him rolling around back there with sudden stops. (I prefer him to be harnessed in his car seat). But it was a good size for transporting the mini poodle(s).I like that the sides are soft, yet sturdy, so the dog isn't ever slamming against hard surfaces. I don't know how it would fare in a real wreck (if a dog could fly through a windshield, it'll probably fly through this), but at least for maneuvering in normal traffic, it's great. Much safer than having a dog loose in the car, that's for certain.It has good ventilation with the mesh on 5 out of 6 sides, so the AC can get to the pet. A determined dog could probably tear the mesh apart, but the nervous mini poodle I transported didn't damage it at all when he was clawing at the mesh for the first 10 or so minutes until he calmed down.It's very easy to assemble and disassemble. You just pop both pairs of upper support beams together or apart (which I can almost do one-handed), and it folds easily as long as you make sure the beams are not in the way when they dangle down.It folds about as flat as a wire crate of the same size, but I think it's easier and less of a production than folding a wire crate. Wire crates usually have to swing far one way, then the other, then another--so you need a big floor/table space to set them up or take them down. This folds in on itself, so you can open and close it right in your car without taking it out.It comes with a matching canvas carry bag to fit it in, but I often don't use that. You can't fit much of anything else in the bag at the same time; it's just for the crate and maybe a few flat or small objects that can be squirreled away in the nooks and crannies of the folded crate. And this crate is easy enough to carry without it.It has storage compartments on the top and side, but I've never used those. Would be a good place to store low-profile things like your pet's vaccination records, waste bags, and a small bag of food or treats.It has a thin, fleece pad lining the bottom. Easy to remove to wash. Stays put okay, but not great. If you have a digger, they'll probably rearrange it at some point. It's not cushiony; but pro-tip: a standard size pillow fits in the bottom of this crate almost perfectly. ;)On top of everything, it looks nice and is affordable. My sister oohed and ahhed when she saw it and said it looked "fancy."

This kennel is GENious. It sets up in just a minute or two. It is sturdy and very well made. There is a bottom with a soft, comfortable, easy to remove cover that washes easily and dries quickly. Zipped openings on two sides and top for easy access. Zippered pocket for carrying extra items. Perfect for home or travel. I bought two.

Needed a tall crate for a medium-sized dog and this crate is perfect (most crates this size are 21 inches in height and this one is 24 inches)! The extras (crate mat, detachable bag, attached pouch, and large bag for the crate) are very nice! I’ve bought this brand before and the crates are sturdy, easy to set up and last for years!

This crate is amazing - I don’t know why I didn’t get one decades ago! So portable, so easy to set up, so quiet, and my skittish dog prefers it to her old metal crate. The zippers aren’t industrial-strength YKKs, but they are adequate and work as expected. The only negative is that the quality control on the stitching is subpar. Ours arrived with about half a dozen loose threads that needed to be secured so they didn’t unravel, and two threads that actually crossed the zipper and had to be cut and secured so the zipper could be opened. After about 30 minutes of work (that shouldn’t have been necessary), it is the perfect crate!

We purchased this crate because of the reviews and we were taking our 10 lb chihuahua on vaca with us. We could not be more happy with this soft dog crate! It was comfortable and very sturdy without being like a rickety and bulky metal one. The metal ones, as long as they are stationary, are fine long term. I would not want to put my dog in a soft crate all day long because (aside from being cruel) if a dog is active or is left too long, a soft crate would not be suitable. But this soft crate was the perfect size for our dog for 2-3 hours. Enough room for her pillow, her water & a pee pad folded in half. My dog rarely pees in her crate (We take her out a lot and run her around to dispel anxious energy) but in the event that she did have to pee, I wanted her to feel like she had a corner.Also, the multiple openings were convenient and easy to zip up and fold back with Velcro holders. Added pluses were: storage and carry case and roomy pockets for storing treats and toys.Folds up very nicely but still is plenty sturdy! A++I would not recommend (for ANY soft crate), a hyper, over-active or larger dog with a penchant for chewing. The nice thing about this crate is the double zippered front closure and both zippers that go 3/4 around respectively. If u zipper both zippers in the upper position, a paw or nose will not be able to separate the zippers easily, allowing them to escape. As an example, my dog got a treat stuck in the cushion near the opening. By pushing her nose around, she was able to push her nose thru the zippers and open the front. Easily resolved by putting both zippers up top to the side and putting a twist tie thru the zippers holes tying them together. Obviously soft crates are not for chewers.

A++I would not recommend (for ANY soft crate), a hyper, over-active or larger dog with a penchant for chewing. The nice thing about this is that sometimes if a pebble of food or dog treat gets stuck in a corner my dog will try to dig it out and if you don’t have the zippers in the correct position they could accidentally open the zipper with their paw. Easily enough resolved because the zippers start on one end and they go 3/4 of the way around the front opening, which made it easy to avoid that. Obviously soft crates are not for chores or obsessive dogs. This was for my Chihuahua and she is neither a chewer, nor is she large. Her initial whining was quelled and she settled quickly.. I left the TV on in hotel room to block out hallway noise and comfort her. When we return from doing a tourist attraction, she was excited to see us, but after her initial greeting, she felt comfortable enough to go back in to chill out while we got ready for bed.Since she sleeps with us at night, so trusts we always come back. So even when we do leave her for a few hours, this is the best crate for her to be! or obsessive dogs. This was for my Chihuahua and she is neither a chewer, nor is she large.
