Lesure Soft Collapsible Dog Crate – 42 Inch Portable Travel Dog Crate for Extra Large Dogs Indoor & Outdoor, 4-Door Foldable Pet Kennel with Durable Mesh Windows (Beige)

ITS A BARGAIN!
ALL THE MANY PROS:-PRICE: Very affordable!! Half the price of a similar Noz2Noz crate I previously bought for my other dog from Petco.- CONVENIENCE: it arrives collapsed the size of a lawn chair. It has a little bag in case you need to carry it like a backpack. I had no idea that was possible but ok cool. Lol- VALUE: the crate is sturdy, cute, roomy, takes seconds to setup, waterproof on the inside and easy to clean. It also comes with a sherpa-esque crate liner/pad to make it a little nicer for your dog to lay on. Mine has a giant dog bed in there, so the pad doesnt do much for me but make it prettier. And as previously mentioned, it comes with a backpack to carry it in.- APPEARANCE: the colors are very nice. Its super cute. Im very very pleased with how it looks.Zero complaints.Zero smell.Its a little wrinkly after setup but im assuming those will go away.

Fantastic design!
My husband and I like to travel with our dogs. We often stay in rental homes. Almost all of the rental properties that allow dogs require them to be crated when unattended which is more than fair. I’ve always used collapsible wire crates, which is what my dogs are trained in as puppies. And my dogs are not bothered by crates at all. But when we rented a condo in Colorado that was on the third floor and there was no elevator, we became keenly aware of how cumbersome and heavy those wire crates really are! We breathlessly lugged those things up those stairs and I realized on that day, that something had to change.Enter: The soft folding crate.There are just about as many soft crate options out there as there are dogs to use them. I knew that I was looking for something that was relatively light weight AND folded down to the smallest package possible. This one caught my eye straight away.Since this company was having a “lightening sale” on these crates at the time, I was only allowed to order one in the gray that I wanted. But I found that I could order another crate, as long as it was a different color…so I went with black. That’s fine with me. The price was fantastic!I have to say that this is one of the best designed collapsible items I’ve ever seen. It sets up in a snap, using no tools. It breaks down equally easily. It takes less than a minute to set up, and less than a minute to take down. But it’s super sturdy once assembled. It’s VERY impressive in that way.The designers thought of everything. The crate opens in the front and on two sides. The top also opens and I have found that the crate is most easily assembled from the top. Each panel that opens rolls up and secures open with Velcro tabs. The back of the crate is solid and has a pocket and an elastic strap there, and also a small hole to administer treats through if you are training a dog to get used to it. While my dogs have been crate trained since puppy-hood, I did use the little hole and treats to introduce them to this crate since it’s different. I want them to be totally comfortable in there so when we travel, they won’t be ambushed by something new, and left alone somewhere in a crate that frankly, they can get out of if they want to.OK, so lets talk about the elephant in the room. This is a SOFT CRATE. The zippered panels are mesh. Any dog who wishes to, can easily chew his way out of this crate…this one as well as any other soft crate. Soft crates are for trained adult dogs who are not anxious when left alone. I can’t imagine putting a puppy in this crate, although some people doing that with success. But if you put a puppy or an anxious adult dog in this and are surprised that they ate their way out of it…shame on you. It’s not the dog’s fault…or the crate’s fault. It is not appropriate for these kinds of animals.The crate comes with a nice pad that Velcros to the floor of the crate. I added an extra pad because my dogs are spoiled and like a cuhsy life. But it’s not really required.I included a lot of pictures which hopefully are self explanatory and add good aid to this review. I can’t attest to the general durability with normal use yet, but these crates seem to be very well made. Worth noting here is this: soft crates do not provide safety for the dog while traveling in the car other than just confinement. Hard-sided crates are safer for car travel.If your dogs are well trained and comfortable with being left alone…and if you travel and don’t like to lug heavy crates around…this is a must buy!

Easy to assemble, comfy for dogs!
My dogs have never been crated since being rescued, so I was a little apprehensive about how they would respond to this. We needed a way to keep them safe in our new conversion van. The specs for this product were spot on – it fits in our van behind our seats perfectly! It only takes a few minutes to either assemble or take apart. The way it collapses in on itself when the frame bars have been broken down is great, but the way the inside floor (which has a small foam pad that can be removed so the nice fleece cover can be washed – thank you!!!) then wraps around the compacted frame and velcros in place is amazing! The whole thing slides easily into a bag for easy portability. When in use, the removable flooring is held in place to the bottom of the crate with velcro so animals don’t go sliding all over the place when the vehicle is in motion. Three sides of the crate and the ceiling all have mesh “windows” so my dogs can easily see me, and I can reach in from almost any angle to get to them if needed. My dogs adapted to this in under 5 minutes, and are very comfortable in it. This is a great product, and if treated carefully and not ripped at by unattended or untrained dogs, it should last a long time. We are fans!!!
