C. Bishop "Seeker" (Way north) I have four of these, one for each of my dogs. I have dachshunds and this gives them enormous space to stretch and play during the three hours a day they are kept in their kennels while I work. Whenever I go, I put them in and they are safe, have room for toys and sitting around off their pillows. I don't worry about them and they are comfortable. The two doors make it easy to position them. I stack them. My oldest boy gets to look out the window and when the sun is too bright, I can drape the window side and he's fine. This is well made, immensely affordable and very easy to care for. the tray slides out of the bottom. I love them. I would never have anything else. They are made for bigger dogs but my little boys love them. one of them is so overwhelmed by the space it took a while to get used to it. Lovely stuff, this.
Great crate, though Amazon misled me on size., April 7, 2008
By
junebug20 (Los Angeles, CA) I purchased the crate for my cat who misbehaves on occasion. It is a little place for him to get a time out. He got good at breaking out of the pet taxi. Anyway, the crate sets up rather easily and is very easy to clean. There is plenty of space for a small animal (my cat) to move around. *If you are getting this for a cat, there is room for a small litter pan. And, so far, he hasn't been able to escape. My only complaint is that somehow I was misled with the size. I thought I was getting a bigger crate that we could use for our future full-size dog, but I guess I will have to get another crate when that time comes.

Douglas R. Benedict "Sarah Benedict" This is the second Midwest crate we have owned. The first one we had was for a large dog. We still have it but no longer need it. This little crate is awesome...the two doors come in very handy as you are not limited to where you can put it. Also the divider is really handy when you first bring a puppy home. It folds up really easy and is very easy to put up too. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is a tad heavy, but I also know its a quality material, so I can't complain. I have had some crates that are really tough to latch...this one is easy, but not too easy! I would recommend this crate to everyone!

Divider was a disappointment, May 22, 2008
By
ceb "havanese mom" (san antonio, texas United States) Since I recently got two puppies, I wanted a way to crate them together yet give both a little private space to retreat to if desired. I assumed I could place the divider right down the middle so each puppy could share in a "duplex" situation. Well, that definitely does not work. If you place the divider in the center, you have to attach it to the door. If you attach it to one side so the door can still be opened, that closed-in side becomes useless. So, I had to go Petsmart and purchase 2 additional Midwest metal dog crates. That solution works, but their play area inside the exercise pen has been dramatically reduced in size because the 2 crates take up so much more space than just the one. Later, I learned I could have purchased a three-door crate that just might have been perfect. Oh well, you learn from your mistakes. Since the crate was well-made and would have worked for just one dog, I gave the product 4 stars.

Very Versatile!, June 20, 2008

TxSaphire "K.Mundy" (Long Island, NY) I selected this crate after a lot of research. I keep it in my living room for my min-pin & miniature schnauzer so I needed a crate with a side door. Even though I keep my two dogs in it, I don't use the divider panel that it came with because my dogs like to snuggle together. The size is perfect. A lot of other crates were too narrow. I also wanted one with the traditional front door as well in case I want to move it to a different location. My dogs love the crate! This crate was very easy to set up & is very well made, not flimsy at all. I also really like the black enamel finish. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the crate has these hooks on the bottom below the side door that stick out which is kind of a pain when I vacuum. It would have been much better if the company would have designed these to snap in place out of the way when the crate is assembled.

dr.o "olive" (NJ United States) this crate is great. it is very sturdy and has 2 options of doors. also folds up and folds out very easily, only takes a minute so it is very portable. the divider panel is great b/c it gives your dog room to grow, but not too much room for him to have accidents. i recommend it highly to anyone who is crate training their pup.
This crate is better than many others...., February 28, 2008

Toni D (Florida, USA) I foster dachshunds for Dare in Florida so we use lots of different crates. This is my favorite brand because it is very easy to fold and open quickly and the latches work better than some of the others I've tried. We've had some escape artists get out of the other brands, but not this one. Also, the bars seem heavier and stronger than some of the other brands too. My favorite feature is the side door so I have more options for placing the crate in the room. This crate is worth the money!

Lissy (Florida) I bought this for my pug and he loves it! I feel like I should have bought the next size for him, but this is really perfect for training purposes. I love that it has 2 doors and it's super easy to assemble. I highly recommend this to anyone that's looking into crate training.

J B Wholesale pet supplies and their Midwest Life Stages dog crate, February 8, 2008
By
P. A. Hughes (Philadelphia, PA) I purchased a Midwest Lifestages, single door, 36x24x27, dog crate on December 5 for our new Lab. The cage was here within a few days, but the tray was cracked in shipping; it was still usable for the puppy's weight, but I was happy when the new pan arrived in perfect shape and again, within a few days. Not only did JB Wholesale send a new crate out right away, but they called me on the phone, talked to me about crate training, apologized for any inconvenience, and told me to call if I ran into any problems puppy training! What a great company to do business with! We are very happy with our crate; it's working out just fine with our puppy (especially the life- stages divider) and I would definitely do business with JB Wholesale again.

Good Crate, Reasonable Price, September 26, 2007

Cjg "cjgnyc" (New York) I really like this crate. The two doors really contribute to its portability providing flexibility depending on where it is located. It is well constructed. It was also cheaper on Amazon than the crates I saw at Petsmart and Petco. My puppy goes in and out without a problem.

K. Field "Beat'n the Heat" I have this crate only larger 42inches for my border collie mix. We decided it was a little too big for her...although I am sure she doesn't mind :)Her large crate is going to our Husky for when she gets bigger, and our border collie will be getting this size crate. She absolutely loves it! It is her own bedroom. We don't crate her during the day but we do crate her while we sleep. I actually tried letting her sleep out of her crate and she kept moving around the room. Once she gets into her crate she pretty much passes out and falls asleep because she knows it means sleep time. The crate also folds down nicely and fits into our car without any problems. We just fold down the back seats and put our dog's bed on top and we are good to go! I would highly reccomend this crate to anyone. Having two different enterances is great! Our dog prefers the gate on the side. She always goes in without a problem! Also, I would highly recomend putting a bed inside during the winter and maybe a piece of carpet that covers the inside floor during the summer. This helps take away the noise of thier nails scratching on the plastic. Plus...they feel more comfortable.
