Outstanding customer service! When I received the folding fig crate I noticed that a piece was broken on the frame. I emailed Doggood & they immediately replaced the frame!Howard

Okay, so I NEVER write reviews but I'm kinda obsessed with this collapsible crate so I had to. We have two beautiful pups (one is 30 lbs & the other is 50 lbs), but we travel a lot so we often ask friends to watch them or we bring them with us if we're traveling in-state. We've tried other soft crates and they haven't ever worked - they're either too complicated or, worst of all, just break super quickly. We've been using a metal crate for years but it's SO heavy and a total pain to break down for travel (not to mention it looks like an ugly prison). I originally bought this thinking we'd just use it for when we travel, but it's become our all-the-time, permanent crate. It shipped super quickly and I took it out of the box and popped it up in about 2 minutes. There are instructions in it, but I didn't even need them since it's pretty simple and intuitive. My pups LOVE it - they both went in it immediately after I set it up (they're sharing the XL crate and they can stand or lay in it easily with plenty of room). One of my favorite things about this pop up crate is it INCLUDES the crate pad! It's so nice that you don't have to buy an additional pad for it or carry a pad for it separately - it just folds right up in it. It's also great to have the option of mesh or covered flaps on 3 of the 4 sides depending on if it's hot or cold or if the pups want to look out. The fact that it includes a cover bag makes it so much easier to throw it over the shoulder with the strap and have my hands free to carry all their other stuff. One of my dogs has a history of destroying things and this hasn't even show signs of wear or tear yet - hoooooray! Added bonus: it's super cute and I love the neutral colors! It's been absolutely worth the money for our lil family! We're donating our metal one to a shelter!

My 6 month old puppy was able to dig right through this,literally didn’t take her long at all.

The product is designed well and made of high-quality material. As a veterinarian, I like seeing crates that feel solid and create a good comforting environment to dogs. There should be no squeaks, flimsy topsy turvy framework, no protruding metal parts that can injure pets, good ventilation, adjustable lighting/ cover to adjust to the varied environment. Crate training is essential in providing a safe recluse/ space for dogs where they feel overwhelmed, scared or a place to rest. This alleviates anxiety and behavioral problems if crate training was positively integrated in their early years. Its pricier than most but for a good reason.Below are my feedback of both pros and cons:PRO:1.Great 3-way entry points/access which serves as modifiable ventilation to accommodate many settings2. Fits big even tall dogs comfortably-- true to sizing description. My 80# tall lab was able to sit without feeling cramped.3. VERY STURDY and stable! NO squeaking and stands solidly even when the animal goes in and out..if it shakes, t tends to scare animals- not this one4. 10 minutes set up...will likely shorten as I get used to it. The biggest delay was the sidebars that you need to lock in...it was hard and required elbow grease to pop in place but eased up after some time.5. ENTIRE THINg IS WASHABLE--> great/ essential for accidents ( vomit, pee, spilled food, etc) which is very likely to happen.CONS:1. Velcro used for tacking the covers was hard to align. you had to roll them tightly so the velcro sticks to the rolled cover.I had to reroll numerous times to get them aligned--Suggestion: maybe use a string/ bungee cord to tie covers2. Fleece pad was bit thin for me..but I get it, you need compact packing-- this can be mitigated with blankets easily

I’ve had this for two days and already used it/am loving it. It’s very big/bulky but it fits in the backseat of my Camry in a couple different directions. My two 13 lb mini schnauzers fit inside comfortably. The little cushion that came with it is trash- a thin piece of styrofoam inside a thin cover that sheds. I threw it out and put a comfy dog bed inside. The bottom is a water resistant material that seems like it could tear, but we’ll see. The bars that the frame is made of seem very sturdy, but I’m still not sure the price tag is worth it. It would be nice if it had a hook, or loops that allowed it to be anchored to the seat. Nonetheless, I’m going to keep it because I like the way it folds down, the carrying case, and how easy it is to clean. I anticipate using it for car rides as well as stays away from home since it can double as a sleeping crate.

Our puppy ripped through it. Not durable for a small puppy. So I would so its material is not strong.

Great kennel and bed for our lab! She loves it
