Who Is This For?

βœ“ Best For

βœ— Skip If

  • β€’ Owners of very active large dogs β€” The weak corners and potential for escape pose a high risk for these pets.
  • β€’ Pet owners prioritizing durability and long-term use β€” The noted issues with durability and construction make this crate less reliable for long-term use and assembly.
