Product Description
The Life Stages folding metal dog crate by MidWest Homes for Pets includes all of the features you will need to provide a convenient, safe & secure pet home for your best friend, from puppy to adulthood. This crate includes a divider panel allowing you to adjust the size of the living area as your puppy grows. The plastic leak-proof pan allows easy clean-up in the event of an accident. A strong plastic carrying handle is included for convenient portability, and rubber feet on the bottom of the crate protect the floors inside your home. We recently enhanced the safety and security of the Life Stages crate by adding locking tips on the slide-bolt latches to securely lock the door and patented Paw Block, which prohibits your dog from tampering with the door lock from the inside. MidWest Life Stages crates also feature patented rounded side clips that reduce possible sharp points to ensure a safe experience for you and your pet. Every Life Stages metal dog crate conveniently folds down flat for travel. The 42" Life Stages (model 1642U) measures 42L x 28W x 31H inches and is suitable for "large" dog breeds. **Please note the term "large” breed is subjective. For the best fit, we advise that you check the measurements of the dog crate and select a size that will be suitable for your dog's ADULT weight and measurements. Your dog should be able to comfortably sit upright, lay down, and easily turn around inside the crate. When in doubt, we suggest you purchase a larger crate option. We at MidWest Homes for Pets understand that your dog is a part of your family; that's why we ensure our dog crates are manufactured with the highest quality control standards to create a safe and secure home for your pet. Assembly and safety instructions are included; please read all safety instructions prior to use.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My only concerns with the cage is the manner in which the front, back, and divider pieces are secured. The hooks appear to secure the front/back/divider securely enough to keep it together, but I question its ability to maintain its integrity when a big dog might want to get out. Also, the divider attaches at the top of the cage but there's nothing at the bottom from keeping it from swinging if pressed. It was easy enough to throw on a few zip ties for added security and to hold the bottom of the divider down. This isn't enough to warrant taking a star off as it's a very cheap and quick fix to a product that is priced $40 less than what petco/petsmart/walmart is going to offer. If I have to use 50 cents worth of zip ties to save 40 bucks I'm going to.
As of right now the item is an absolute easy buy. I will update my review every month or two if there is anything significant to note. My family and I put our new 8 week-old golden retriever in her new bed last night and when she is an adult I will definitely update the review to indicate its (the cages) longevity. Thanks for reading.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024
Was so happy with the first crate that I purchased another when we adopted another dog two months later. Again the crate arrived quickly and was a breeze to put together. Because this dog needed a covered crate, I also purchased a Precision Pet Indoor/Outdoor Crate Cover. GREAT cover! Fits the crate like a glove and is really good quality.
I paid just under $69 for each crate and I've seen them in stores for twice that. Great crate, great price. The only improvement that I could make on this crate is that I wish the door was adjustable so you could change the swing to the other side. Just happens that with the location of both crates in my home, it would be more convenient if the door swung left to right. Not a huge deal, just would be nice. I had no need to install the partition because both my dogs are adults.
CONs: The plastic insert on the bottom showed up with two holes in it, but I decided to keep it anyway, since I'd cover them with a crate mat. The insert piece is so hard to put in and take out. Without help, there's no way I could've done it. And even with help, it's not in correctly because we could not get the bottom piece on for the life of us.
