This Double-Door Dog Crate Feature Solves a Real Problem
Most crates give you one way in. This one has double doors — one on the side, one on the front — plus a divider panel so you can shrink the interior space down as needed and a slide-out tray that makes cleanup dramatically easier.
What Makes This One Different
- Double door access — one on the side, one on the front, so placement in a room is a lot more flexible
- Divider panel included — resize the interior as a puppy grows, instead of buying a new crate at every stage
- Slide-out tray — clips in and out for genuinely easier cleaning
- Carry handle — makes moving the crate around the house or to the car more manageable
This one comes in a 36-inch size built for medium dogs; there’s also an 18-inch single-door version with the same divider setup for small dogs and puppies, if that’s a better fit for your space.
Why the Divider Panel Matters More Than It Seems
A crate that’s too big for a puppy can actually work against house training — dogs generally won’t go to the bathroom where they sleep, but if there’s extra room, they may use one end as a bathroom and the other to sleep. A divider panel lets the crate grow with the dog instead of needing a completely different crate at each stage, which matters both for training and for not buying multiple crates over a dog’s first year.
Things to Know Before You Buy
- Measure your dog (or expected adult size, for a puppy) against the crate’s listed dimensions before choosing between the sizes
- The double-door design is especially useful if you’re placing the crate in a corner where only one side is easily accessible
- The slide-out tray is a real time-saver for accident cleanup, especially during crate training
Common Questions
Is this good for crate training a puppy?
The included divider panel is specifically useful for crate training, since it lets you size the space appropriately as a puppy grows rather than starting with too much room.
How hard is it to set up?
It’s a folding wire design, which is generally straightforward to assemble without tools.
Which size should I get?
The 36-inch double-door version fits medium dogs; an 18-inch single-door version is available for small dogs and puppies — check your dog’s current and expected adult size against both listings.
